dragonball z kai

[rtil]

got to see a few episodes of this at home yesterday. the new opening/ending and new music is also great (although i love the bruce falconer original american track), the new voices sound good and all the touch-up work they did seems to have paid off. i really wish i had nicktoons so i could follow along , because things seem to be going by really fast as a lot of filler has been cut out. the saiyan saga is just about to begin as gohan is being trained by piccolo while goku is on king kai's planet, and they are already cutting out a lot. in the span of 3 episodes goku had already gone across all of snake way (!)

anyone lucky enough to have nicktoons to follow kai?

[lenko]

someone was streaming it the other day, it really does move along faster than the original

apparently with all the filler gone the series is like half the original length

I'm guessing the new voices are the ones they've been using for the video games right?

[Sapphire]

Voice acting is much better in this.

Voice of Bulma is better than the original.

A+

[Ashington]

If it's been condensed that much i'll give it a watch, i used to get fed up with all the filler episodes watching the original.

Ugh, bruce falconer.. i still cant believe some people actually enjoyed his music. Kai's music is better, but nowhere near as good as the original music by shunsuke kikuchi.

uhhh....hahaha well the original music is good, but it's too silly for most of dbz. it's more suited for a detective or mystery cartoon. sounds extremely out of place and doesn't capture the feeling of the show at all. how could you hate a track like this?

and this song made gohan vs cell 10x better

and this song is perfect for satan/hercule's character

the japanese soundtrack is all exactly the same. you'd have to be kidding yourself to think it is better for dbz than the falconer ost

[Sapphire]

This was by far my favorite DBZ track:

Ive been watching this with subs, i couldn't find it in English, so i didn't get to hear the any of the new voice cast, however it seems the characters sound much different in Japanese.

[Khawner_]

this is the only anime ive seen where the voice acting is actually pretty good, but i havn't seen too many so I guess I'm just biased.

[logen]

not convinced

apparently this is heavily edited on nicktoons

[rtil]

no one's trying to convince you of anything. you can like the original japanese track if you want, nobody cares. my point is that most of the time it sounds out of place. i actually saw dbz with the japanese track first. a lot of the time the music playing was just confusing to me.

apparently this is heavily edited on nicktoons

it didn't look like it to me. piccolo beat the crap out of gohan, and when he transformed back into a human after his saiyan ape rampage thing, they didn't draw clothes on him.

[GeneralIvan]

Ocean dub Vegeta was pretty awesome.

don't stop don't stop we're in luck now
don't stop there's so much to be found

[billy]

I thought he said love, it's luck seriously???

[Wasim]

when i read this thread a week ago i was inspired to download the original dragonballz seasons (or sagas)........

[Philip K Dick]

wasim why dont you just watch kai its the same thing but with less filler

[logen]

Gonna bump this cos:

Apparently this ended not long ago at ep 97, with the cell saga. Meaning the last saga was completely skipped. Toei really screwed around with this.

Also, it seems the music was plagiarized. So, even tho they've changed the original jap bgms, to "new" one's, they'll change most of it back.

On another note, NGE pretty much did the same with james bond and other movie themes, and no one seems bothered by that.

[rtil]

maybe they should just scrap the "new" music and replace it with the superior bruce falconer ost
