Well during the last episode Dr. Gero escaped and ran back to his lab to activate androids 17 and 18...then they stopped. This was in March. First of all: does anyone actually watch the show (of course someone on TL does), and when do you guys think they will air the next episode? What do you guys think of the random stoppages and of the show itself? | ||

Funimation decided around last June that they were going to re-do every episode of DBZ starting with the Raditz saga and air them on Nicktoons. It's actually very good but the problem is they don't take breaks between seasons of the show, they randomly stop airing episodes with no warning at all for months at a time. Dragonball Kai was a re-edit by Toei Animation for the 20th anniversary of DBZ and Funimation decided that dub that. | ||

Will add some examples Original Chiaotzu death: DBZK: Remember how Frieza blows up Krillin? Well in DBZK he just disappears: Blue Mr. Popo (because being black and having lips is racist, like how jynx was banned in pokemon): | ||

If any DBZ fan doesn't know, I'd recommend checking out http://www.teamfourstar.com/ Their DBZ abridged episodes are sooo good. They only make 1 per month or so (or less), but they're done very well. | ||

 Even if they are censored they're still very good to watch, more so for me because I was too young to remember/understand anything that was happening in the original episodes. | ||

I went back to watch the original series from beginning to GT and I hated how much they stretched out the episodes. I remember reading the reason was because the manga was still being written so they tried to buy time. Supposedly, Kai follows the manga better. | ||

This is one of the rare times when the English voice was better. Simply said, it's because it's not the same as sounding like a little kid like he did for DB in the Japanese. | ||

When I heard about Kai I was pumped but I was hugely disappointed. It's not that I think DBZ is perfect in every way, it's not even the nostalgia holding me back (IMA CHARGIN MY SPIRIT BOMB x10 eps), it's just not much of an improvement over DBZ that's worth watching. I'd rather watch DBZ myself but obviously anyone that hasn't seen DBZ would watch Kai instead. | ||

Is this "toonzai" version just the one that airs on TV or is that all you get? I feel sorry for you guys I can almost understand editing out the blood and stuff since it needs to air as a kids show in America but... Blue Mr Popo? Really? Some quick differences based on the youtube clip of Chaozu's death: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/QNQ4t.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/NmNnF.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/iHy7W.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Za2vK.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/9hHzv.png) Nappa also bashes him into the rocks (like the original) in my Australian version of Kai... And lucky last... + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/8mrNY.png) As for whether or not I enjoyed Kai - I'd say I definitely did. It removed a lot of the pointless filler. The episodes are much more concise with less emphasis on people flexing and grunting a lot. I think it's a big improvement over the original. | ||

He also had no deep connections with almost any of the main cast. Freiza was by far the best villain in dbz. Buu on the other hand was masterfully thought out, first form being like a naughty kid, being split in evil and good Buu and gradually getting more and more evil. I really liked that saga, especially the last form and the form without having absorbed any of the Z fighters. | ||

And even after all these years, watching an episode the other day confirmed that I still like the show . Though Robotech will always be my favorite (first anime I watched I think, maybe Pokemon was before, I dunno) | ||

Kai is beyond terrible, i cant believe the amount of things they have taken out and CHANGED, the music for one annoys me more than anything. The music in DBZ was extremely good, didnt need to be changed, it aged really well. The death scenes of characters did not need to be remade the way they did. Take the filler out, thats fine but dont CHANGE shit, example; take the episode where goku learns to drive, thats fine but dont take out the 35 seconds leading up to krillins death vs freeza. If they screw up Gohan vs Cell, i will NEVER forgive them for that, the Cell saga is the greatest saga but Freeza is the better villain. | ||

In my opinion the Buu saga will always be the best, if u skip out the 20 pointless episodes of Gohan trying to get in Videls pants >.< But the action in that series from Goku vs Vegeta to the end where Vegeto helps save the world, so much action in the Buu saga. But the best bit is original transformation of Super Sayian of course! Ill have to watch these new DBZ kai episodes, i didnt think they were going to do any remakes, its good i guess! They should bring more episodes out <3 | ||

The majority of people who watched DBZ will also agree that the Buu Saga was worse than the Saiyan, Freeza, Namek, Ginyu Force, Android and Cell (including Cell games) Sagas, I will give the Buu saga credit for being better than the Garlic Junior Saga and Dragon Ball GT | ||

The OAVs are pretty good, and the TV specials are decent, but the show itself was a turd. Kai is only less of a turd because it's shorter and therefore the pain ends much quicker. If you're a DBZ fan, do yourself a favor and watch the OAVs, then maybe read the comics. The art is meh, but compared to the anime it looks like a renaissance masterpiece and the pace is much much quicker. It's also a lot funnier and uncensored. | ||
