Kai is absolute :trash: of the highest order. It's not DBZ, no faulcouner :scust:. It's nothing more than a souless rendition that's up there with the b*stard step child known as GT, no ones checking for it, all the popular clips of DBZ you see on websites e.g. youtube are from the funimation dub with the Faulconer soundtrack.

Cornballs who I've never seen in any DBZ thread bigging up Kai over Z :mjlol:.

Just look at the disparity between these two renditions

:


The music is literally telling the story for the viewer:blessed: that scene could have zero dialogue and you would still get it:wow: Faulconer truly was something else.

Now look at this crap from Kai



No emotion, no energy, no life, no nothing, just flat and robotic:scust:


Another Faulconer/Z gem

: :ohlawd:

lol at this thread becoming a kai dub vs original dub war:russ:.. but yeah anybody with functioning ears should be able to admit that dbz with the falcouner soundtrack is WAY better, idgaf about the japanese soundtrack even if that was the original one.. its purist bullshyt and just cuz its the original doesnt make it automatically better.. same type of nikkas prolly watch the japanese version with goku's annoying 7 year old girl voice not understanding a lick of japanese and act like its better cuz its first


but yeah if im a 27 year old just now trying to watch dbz after never watching it in life I would just watch kai uncut up to after the frieza fight since its less pointless filler, you'd spend an eternity just watching the saiyan saga up to the frieza saga alone on the original version.. then id watch the rest of the series from the original dub filler and all since its not as much and more bearable, although a few characters have different voices.. but the orignal voices are better anyway

The original was fine when I was a kid watching it everyday after school, but just has too much filler and time-wasting to be marathoning. Kai has better voices as well (I dare anybody to claim that Frieza's voice in the original dub is better than his voice in Kai).
:pacspit:Give me Frieza's original old lady voice any day over that British butler sounding fukkboy

:childplease:

Frieza is supposed to sound like a well-mannered businessman, not a 70-year old chain smoking old lady.




You really gonna stand here and say Frieza's original voice was better? :stopitslime:

Hell, even the dialogue was better in Kai. And I'm not hating on the original dub because I grew up with it, but when you look past the nostalgia, Kai is better. You could argue that the Funi dub had better music, but everything else about the Kai dub (voices, dialogue, less filler, translation, etc.) is better.

the dialog in kai was better because the writers and actors had more experience, goku's voice actor said some cringeworthy shyt in the original dub too and now look at him.. thats on the script writers not the voice actors.. nostalgia aside I still prefer the original version, gohans kid voice is annoying as fukk, bulma's voice is trash, android 18's voice sounded like a regular everyday teenage white chick rather than an android, frieza's voice in the original was unique and different, the new voice is just a knockoff of the TFS version.. nikka sounds like he's about to offer u tea and crumpets rather than kill u

You can skip GT..watch any of the DBZ movies though. World's Srongest, Cooler's Revenge, and definitely the new one dropping this summer

I'm 27 and alot if my friends (shyt basically all) grew up on this and I watched the first 30 eps or so with my daughter recently.. (just got done with the goku vs vageta battle)

I just wanna know how should I continue? I know there are 100s of eps . Should I just watch them all?.. go back and watch Dragon ball? I just got the Dragon Ball z Kai ep 1-65 ... so ima Continue from their for now

your better off reading the manga

dbz kai sucks and the orignal eps has to much filler

if u didnt already watch history of trunks and bardock the father of goku movies u prolly shouldve, those 2 are the only canon movies from back then that tie into the story(frieza and android sagas).. skip GT its garbage, the rest of the movies from around that time are ok but not needed

then theres a few movies that have dropped since 2009 that are actually cannon and a part of the story post-buu saga like "hey son goku and friends return" but it never got dubbed so its only in japanese with subs, then after that is battle of gods, then after that is resurrection f which just came out this year so it hasnt leaked online in full yet and the english dub will be in theaters this august

Skip GT, such trash, hardcore DBZ marks like myself and alot wont touch it, that bad

For movies sake goes, I'm actually pretty pro most of them, they are harmless tbh, but ones you HAVE TO check out

Dead Zone
Tree of Might
Broly #1
History of Trunks
Bardock

the other ones are ok, but if you dont see them no worries
