Dragon Ball Z Kai

[The Tropius of Tropiuses]

Dragon Ball Z has been aring on Nicktoons since the begining of Summer(I think :l). I watch the series(watchin' it right now ) and I think it's good. My firist time watchin' the DB series, too . Do you think it's a good anime? Do you think the voice changes are fitting/okay? Do you think it dosen't belong on Nicktoons? Disscus.

"How many DBZ characters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"
"Only one, but it takes 20 episodes"

xD I've been meaning to check this out but since we don;t pay extra for the "extra channels" I haven't been able to

[Ditto616]

I liked what they did with this, even though it is heavily censored for the sake of it being on a Nick channel. No blood or other things that need not be mentioned. The new dub isn't bad either. Apparently they went closer with the manga with this dub.

Actually Kai is meant to take out most of the filler that was in Z.


And I would watch it, but I prefer the original Japanese versions to anime. Plus I heard that they got different voice actors.

They did, but you can barely tell the difference. I had to look at the DBZ Wiki to figure out they chagened Gohan's voice actor. Then again, this is my first look at the series.

Meh, I liked the original Dragonball Z so much more to be honest. That is why I watch that online. I have watched DBZKai a few times and it isn't bad, but it isn't as good. I am a huge Dragonball Z fan and I think Frieza's voice was much more fitting in the original Z. Also, since it was being aired on Cartoonetworks Toonami, everything was acceptable. Nicktoons took the fun out of it. I believe they also ruined a bit of the classic DBZ lines such as, "Over 9,000" in Dragonball Z versus stupid, "Over 8,000."

[Jaredvcxz]

Actually 8,000 was how it was in Z for every dub except english. It was even 8,000 in the manga.

Yes, and over 9,000 sounds better than Over 8,000 to me. There is a certain ring to it. Plus, I haven't read the manga. I like to watch the action instead of read it. Can't say the same for newer animes such as Naruto Shippuden, which to me, the manga is better. However, Dragonball Z was better to me than Kai. Maybe Kai would have been a little bit better than it is, if it wasn't on Nicktoons.

[The Tropius of Tropiuses]

Oh yeah. I forgot about stupid 8,000. What's wrong with 9,000?

[Gary-Oak]

I don't really watch it much.
It's ok for my opinion.
But I hate the theme song.
I prefer The original in my opinion.

I must say that the voices aren't a problem for me. In the beginning of original Dragonball Z, the voices were a bit odd. Then, it got better near the end of the Namek series and by time that was over, the voices were perfect. Glad the voices in DBZ Kai started out excellent.

This is a good way to reintroduce such a legendary anime to younger kids who never saw Dragonball or Dragonball Z when they were originally released. The fact it is made in HD is awesome as well. ;P

I HATE the "Dragon Soul" theme song as well. The original was much better. So, I have both my pro and cons about Kai. The end result is that I am glad it is being aired, just wish it wasn't being aired on Nicktoons... ;(

Question for those who are keeping up with, what episode are they currently on?

[Jaredvcxz]

Did they make Dragon Soul english or are they broadcasting the Japanese?

Ah, you must be talking about Dende. Yeah, Vegeta is sleep and Krillin and Gohan are sneaking off with Dende so that they can summon the dragon using the dragonballs because they don't trust Vegeta still. Looks like we're getting closer and closer to where Frieza jumps into the loop then.

[Jaredvcxz]

Yep. I think it's going to be 2 episodes until it gets to that.

[Kaorto]

Isn't it on hiatus?

[[TRDRS]PokeTrader]

The voice change sucks and it is a remake of the old Dragon Ball, I dont like it.

[Shiny]

I got to watching it on Sunday and i must say... It sucks =/

The new voices are just weird

I got bored after 10 minutes of the show =/

Yes. That's it.

[Gengar]

Dragonball Z Kai doesn't air in the United Kingdom but I do have Saiyan Saga on DVD and I really enjoyed the anime without the filler and loved the background music. I really didn't mind the voice change for gohan and sometime things have to change as the time moves forward.
