He totally did while talking about the Buu stuff which is the intro. It was great

That is a powerful line.

Also I'm glad the best and most powerful hero in DBS is here again. I mean babby Pan, of course

This episode was amazing. So many call backs, Satan, Krillin being cool. The video for the new ending is cool too.

Yo I'm reading through the DBZ manga at the moment and I want to rewatch the anime in Proper Canon Form too, but it doesn't look like Kai is available to watch legally online anywhere and the blu rays are expensive as gently caress. Is Kai considered good enough to be worth dropping the cash on the discs? If it's still got some of the shittier elements of the original anime I wont bother. Also nowhere seems to stream Super legally in the UK.

As TFS would say "support the official release".


But if there is no "official" release, support something else.

Either him or the same guy as Champa. Either way, if Barry gets possessed by Watagash that's gonna be some good-rear end yelling.

I posted that before Daisuki having it was said, but if something's unavailable in a region, there's no official release there, so nah.

DVDs count as an official release, and he said there were discs. Therefore regardless of the online streaming status, there's an official release to support for kai.

When I saw the idol character from this episode I thought maybe she was the same idol from the Jaco manga but she isn't. Actually that probably wouldn't make any sense because she'd be older than Bulma at this point but oh well

I've been rewatching Kai recently and I think it's more along the lines of an alternative to DBZ rather than a definitive improvement. On the good side of things they really have done a great job when it comes to cutting out the more painful moments during the fights; attacks which do absolutely nothing are largely gone and bigger attacks no longer charge up for entire episodes. On the other hand, they've also cut out nearly all of the downtime between fights, jumping from one major villain to the next, so most of the less serious moments which give the series its sense of personality and help to separate it from more generic action shows are also gone. Basically, the question of if it's worth the money largely depends on if you want better fights and a much tighter sense of pacing (no fake Namek, no Garlic Jr., etc) at the expense of moments like Goku and Piccolo driving and Goku going to HFIL.

Also depends on of you want to watch Kai in English or Japanese. The dub of Kai is so much better than the original Z dub. For the Japanese version, I'd stick with Z and maybe just fast forward through the more tedious parts.

No, he said "Previously on Dragon Ball Z," I'm almost certain, however my inner child only responds to "Last time on Dragon Ball Z" so there's a huge difference in my heart.

I wish I could say for certain that an episode that heavily featured Gohan dodging something was just a coincidence but I literally can't tell how far deep the DBS creators are in anymore.

Also Videl is the best fight wife.
