Glad to see Super but, christ, loving finally on getting the Buu saga. I can't be bothered to sit through Z anymore, so glad they're finishing dubbing all of Kai at last.

buu saga didn't need a kai tbh

US dubs being retarded and kiddifying scripts/editing shows in an absurd and embarassing way does not excuse the DBZ dub at all. It's still terrible regardless of the cirumstanes of other dubs at the time.

I am not familiar with the new FUNimation dub. While I don't doubt that the script got better, and I appreciate them for trying, as long as they kept the same godawful, grating, amateurish voice actors for Goku, Piccolo, Krillin, Bulma, Gohan and other main characters that appear in almost every episode, it's still poo poo.

i didnt finish reading this post but it's really bad

You're probably right as it's been so long since I've watched it but DBZ is one of the few shows I almost exclusively watch for with the dub and, although a lot of the voices had improved a bit by the time the Buu saga rolled around during the original broadcast, I have no desire to go back to the original voices any time soon.

Sabat's Piccolo/Vegeta voices are so much better now IMO.

Having watched it in the last month or so, I couldn't disagree more. The fights with the various iterations of Buu are so unnecessarily drawn out. Holy poo poo. So much posturing and fake-outs and other bullshit.

I mean that's just a side-effect of Buu itself being long and drawn out as far as a fight goes. Frieza and Cell were both contained to the tail ends of their arcs but Buu is spread out over most of the saga and actually most of the focus.

For example it's only like 3 or 4 episodes of Gotenks fighting Buu.

dbz was always popular and I doubt they'd care about doubling up on that in adult swim. everyone that cares about super saw the buu saga years ago anyway so it's not like they'd be worried about spoiling anything

Gonna be honest I skipped most of Super and just started watching when Trunks shows up. And I feel like I missed nothing. People will be just fine if they missed Buu, it's not like anybody important in it shows up much anyways.

If people are missing poo poo they can catch all of it on YouTube in clip form, really.

I tried to watch it through and gave up when Vegeta and Goku fused.

It starts fairly brisk but gets slower and slower and has more pointless stages tacked on as the population of earth ticks down.

Garlick Jr. is a joy to watch by comparison.

the actual weird thing about this super/buu kai airing back to back thing is that the buu kai dub was done in 2013, so kid trunks and android 18 will still have their old (or in 18's case, her new-but-now-replaced-by-the-old) voice actors

Eh it's not that good either people like it but that is because they have a weird fixation with the supporting characters getting meaningless fights.

Which I don't so it did nothing for me.
