So Many Misconceptions...
I have to say there are so many misconceptions with this series that it's not even funny. Let's just go over a few of them, shall we?
1: This is a rip-off because there will be over 270 episodes!
-Wrong. This series is MUCH SHORTER. By Episode 13, Goku is already fighting Vegeta, as opposed to being in the 30's by then. In fact, there's probably only going to be up to 150 episodes at the MOST according to Toei Animation themselves.
2: This isn't a new series, so no one will want it.
-Also wrong. While it's not a new series, the logic behind a re-release is to introduce a new generation of youth to the series and create a new generation of fans. Plus it's also going to be airing on television again soon, though again it will be severely edited.
3: The artwork is cheap!
-While it's hardly groundbreaking, the artwork is NOT cheap. It's simply a touch-up of the existing film, and anything that couldn't be saved or deteriorated too much had...
It's Not Starved, It's Dieting
Kai (Dragon Ball Z minus the filler) has been the subject of many debates which I have participated in.
Some parties argue that it is an unnecessary trimming of an already great show, while others say that the
lack of filler helps viewers focus on the core story and key plot points of "Dragon Ball Z." As somebody
who owns all of the "Orange Box"-ed "DBZ" sets, and has seen every episode over the course of 3 or 4 years,
I can firmly say that I believe the latter party more. All of those annoying excuses to recycle animation,
all of those perfunctory attempts at "deepening characters", and the overly-long attack proclamations have
all vanished, leaving us with what made the original "Dragon Ball" manga so great: fast clip, quick battles,
and no lag between plot points. Whether you're a DBZ newbie or just a seasoned veteran, "Kai" is a worthy
purchase, especially at the price Amazon's offering it at.
F***ing Amazing !
I just recieved my copy of Dragon Ball Z Kai on Blu-ray today. ( gotta love Rightstuf ) Anyway this is AMAZING ! packaging is awesome, quality is awesome, sound is awesome, redub is awesome, opening and closing credits, awesome. ( Keyword; just AWESOME ! lol ) But anyway this comes with 13 episodes; 9 on the first disc and 4 on the second disc. ( In my opinion I think the DVD version is going to have 7 in the first and 6 on the second ) There aren't any extras but hey who CARES ! The redub is better then I expected. Although its the same voice actors they just act better then original DBZ and better script ( but thats probably because org DBZ was dubbed like 12 years ago ) Sond is of course 5.1 and Japanese 2.0. And Finally ! they have next episode previews in english ! Well.. nothing else I really can say..just have to GET IT ! and support DBZKai ! ( I'll probably post pics up later today or tomorrow) =P
