Any Dragon Ball Fans

[brainofjtd]

It's only blasphemy if you're really a masochist for that god awful filler Toei put in, which half of it literally goes against the actual canonical events of the series and makes the series drag on even more so than it already did.

Kai is a god send, I just wish the C+ grade English adaptation didn't get stuck on a terrible network for action cartoons.

I never got into GT at all, and this is the first time I've heard of Kai. Considering the title, I'm guessing it's a rehash of the original series?

Yeah, it's a rehash of Dragonball Z. It follows the same basic story through each saga. But it edits some stuff out, and completely changes other things. It really is blasphemy for longtime fans. But it's good the series is being reintroduced to a new generation, regardless of how.

I'm not sure how it is reintroducing DB to a new generation. EVERY kindergarten kid in Japan already knows DB very well. It's popularity has been very steady since the 80s. All this will do it re-enforce DB.

Okay, more specifically a new generation in the U.S.

Saint Seiya's opening theme is so amazing as well. The Brazilian opening is sung by Edu Falaschi, lead singer of Angra:

Funnily, often Angra has to play the song at their concerts over here.

Saint Seiya!

The Brazilian opening is quite decently done. You should check the crappy french opening, that is the music that the Portuguese version used (and the lyrics, argh).

That was one of the funniest things I've ever listened to in my whole life, thanks for pointing it to me, Ivo:

Okay, maybe the Portuguese opening for Dragon Ball Z is funnier:

We got a cool version of the original in Brazil:

Anyway, I've seen some snippets of the DBZ Portuguese dub on Youtube and it's definitely one of the greatest achievements of mankind.

Um no it's not a blasphemy, on th contrary it's how the series should have been. They cut out all the filler.

[BurningDoom]

Wow. I can't believe that there are people that would rather see a cut-up, changed version of the show. Me, I want to see it as originally intended (well, except I want it in English so I can understand it). And I surely don't need the politically correct version of Mr. Popo.

You do know that most of that filler wasn't even actually in the manga, right?

Doesn't change my opinion of it. I still would rather see it uncut and unchanged.

[AppleQueso]

You're probably the first person I've seen who'd rather keep the filler in honestly.

DBZ is incredibly long and exhaustive, I tried to re-watch the series in its entirety but ended up stopping because stuff was just unnecessarily dragged out way too much. There was no reason for, say, Frieza to take 40+ episodes to defeat. That's longer than most entire series. Less is more sometimes.

I've heard before that Kai is censored though, which would be something worth complaining about imo.
