Next time you have a question, please see my dear old friend google. I don't have a problem with people creating threads on subjects like this, it's just one of pet peeves when someone creates a topic to ask a question that can be easily found by searching google.
Edit: The first episode is also available in the description of the opening.
The Audio has been redone, and the animation is supposed to have been sharpened up. I thought it looked pretty good, and the pace will be much faster as they promised ( I can do without one fight lasting for four episodes ). For someone like me who has only seen DBZ on toonami it is a treat to see it. Goku's voice is so high pitch it is funny, but I guess the same woman did his, Gohan's and later Goten's voice.
You think the American voice actors are better? I think not. America soiled the franchise. (I'm American)...yes, the eng dubs are 100x better then the japs (with dragonball series)
I'm not trying to be an uppity elitist here, but the american dubs became a meme. The second funi laid hands on Dragonball, it ruined the entire franchise.

It actually looks great.
But they said there won't be fillers....
Which arcs are considered fillers?
Well,you're kinda right...I haven't seen Kai,just heard about it and saw the OP,but even in the original DBZ Goku is really annoying,but after 2-3 eps you get used to it and begin to like it,to feel it familiar.You think the American voice actors are better?

Seconded. I don't know a single person who has ever thought otherwise. Although for the most part English dubs tend to be lacking, this is not one of those series. It's all about choosing between the lesser of two evils for DBZ.
I've pointed out why I prefer the Japanese voice actors in Dragonball versus the american dubs in a few threads. :P Don't feel like rehashing it...
Though as far as Akira Toriyama goes, he didn't even really want to make DBZ after DB. He was pressured into it. He did not have any involvement with GT. I doubt he wants to continue it or restart the franchise back up.

Yeah, his plan was to end Dragonball after the cell saga. That's why he was setting up Gohan as Goku's successor from what I've read in interviews.
Not to mention the kickass music in the American versionIt actually looks great.

I'm guessing there will be no Garlic.Jr saga, maybe not so many epsiodes will be spent on the Z-fighters training and all the random epsiodes here and there like Goku and Piccollo learning how to drive will most definetly be cut :D
just watched dbzr's subs.
subs: well, i do not understand jap so i can't say if the translation's correct but the eng looked solid
ep: too bad, it's just remastered to fit WS and HD. wished it would have been redrawn as well. but it's ok... remembering the good old times^^ it's kinda "mean" to see that the animation style of the OP and ED are drawn like at the end of DBZ and to see that the content is the old style. well, so what?^^
- There's even fillers in this version. The scenes with Kuririn being chased by Freeza definitely wasn't in the manga so I'm a bit disappointed by that.
- There seems to be a bit of censor in it. When Kuririn shot a blast through Vegeta, and Vegeta fainted because Dende wouldn't heal him. It didn't look like a bloody wound at all. But this is probably because the show airs on Sundays at 9:00am, and a lot of kids are watching it.
Did you compare it to the manga? I didn't read the manga. As far as I know the series is condensed to the content of the manga.I have a few volumes of the manga. And it only shows Kuririn throwing the Kienzans, flying a bit and then gets stopped by Frieza. Chapter 299.
Are you sure about this? I only watched a (most certainly censored) German dub and that ages ago, so I don't remember that scene anymore.
so they are taking all blood out of Kai.... wow... thats pretty sad...
Dragonball Kai is geared for younger kids, aired at 9 in Japan...(or 9:30, I forgot. Same hour as One Piece) so it's not a surprise.There's blood in One Piece though. ::)
After watching Dragon Ball Kai up to episode 81 I realized that the Taiyoken is the most useful technique in the entire series.
It always works, even on the people who've seen it before or can actually use it themselves.
I loved DB and DBZ and when I heard about DB Kai I downloaded it immediately. So nice to see the old gang again. Though I was a little (little) disappointed when I saw the awesome animated intro and thought that the whole episode would look like that :P But hey, it's still good looking! And a big plus for the original voice-acting cast doing a new recording! (Because this is the only anime that i REALLY prefer the English voices)I was going to download it to, but I read somethings about it and decided that it was the worst thing that could have been done to DBZ. anyways, I prefer the latin voices in DBZ, they are so bad that are good.
