Thanks for the info everyone. Ordering the seasons tonight. Really pumped to watch them and I adored rereading the manga so hearing it follows that relatively closely makes me happy. I hardly remember the show besides what my memory serves me, which I probably incorrect on things.

You might want to consider :filez: since they replaced the soundtrack for the home releases.

Are the Blu-Ray releases 1080p or 720p? Also, I'm seeing two different releases on Amazon, Kai "Seasons" and Kai "Parts". But the extra info on their pages don't seem to specify resolution unless I'm just missing it.

The parts are just 6 episode discs. As far as I can recall they're all 720P 4:3. The only upside to buying the parts instead of the season sets is you might get one with the original soundtrack.

What I find most interesting about early DBZA is how, even then, TFS's style was still considerably more developed than other big abridged series projects out there. Just look at Yugioh Abridged from around that time. You can barely compare them.

Yugioh abridged was pretty much the first abridged series wasn't it?

It kick-started the whole "doing every single episode in a shorter time while humorously abbreviating them and providing wrong context for sake of humor" abridged series, yes. It was helped by it being done by one guy with an amazing range of voices for one dude, which most imitators really failed at doing as well.

The only thing we had before that were some one-shot G.I.Joe shorts with completely context-less humor and some black guy voicing every guy in a random episode of the X-men. That one is still funny though.

Rock Lee is a pretty good parallel to Gohan. Lots of potential as a kid, completely worthless as an adult.

That would mean Yamcha is the worst of all the Sayians. But then again, it could explain his ability to be strong in filler.

Yeah, but Goku seems like he doesn't care about romantic relationships enough to give a gently caress that Chi Chi cheated on him and most likely doesn't even understand the concept of cheating.

The Saiyan side comes from Chi Chi, who was also launched as a baby just before Freeza blew everything up.

Goku would be ashamed of you.
For the longest time as a kid, during the era where the series restarted mid-way through the Freeza saga over and over, I had no idea fusion was a thing and thought Vegetto, Gotenks, and Gogeta were all Saiyan survivors who somehow made their way to Earth sometime after Freeza and joined the Z Fighters. I was actually a little disappointed when I found out they weren't.

Related to the current discussion, I went looking for THIS site again, and I'm glad it still holds up, years later. :allears:

quote:

So with a minimum of plotholes we arrive to a clear, sensible and probably canon solution; Yamucha is a third class Saiyan sent to Earth for being too weak. There, he used his still above average strength to live in a desert and spend way too much time with a transforming cat. He would go on to impregnateconsole Chichi while her husband, Broly-esque wunderkind Goku was dying of heart disease. Unaware of his heritage, Yamucha and Chichi calm down about baby Goten once he turned Super Saiyan, Chichi believing she got pregnant from sharing a toilet seat with Goku. Goten would eventually have learned the truth in some sort of Watchmen/Dr. Manhattan/Silk Spectre moment but with less rape.

16's really coming into his own. Also, I don't know why, but the repeated (Someone says something surprising) (Other guy goes "...Hm.") was really good for me. As was Chi-Chi asking for Goten and everything involving Vegeta.
