I havent even watched any of the original DBZ series but if those screenshots are remastered, wtf did the original look like?

Apparently, this "remastered" version equal cut all the fillers and stretch the resolution to 1280x720Originally Posted by Penner
Yeah that's kinda what 'remastered' means. They took the original 'master' copies of the series in whatever form they were in back in the 80's then transferred those directly into digital format and worked from those copies to produce Dragonball Kai. Things will probably be cut that were included on the masters and obviously they've made it widescreen but I wouldn't expect to see much of anything that isn't on those masters in this rearing including better animation than what was made when the series first aired.

Still love DBZ till this day and love watching the fighting clips of all the fights over and over again.
Now with Kai, this just can't get any better.
I'll be honest though, I can do without the Raditz/Vegeta/Nappa fights.
Leave. Just get out. Now.
Why? Some people dont like the older fights. Personally, with the exception of the Vegeta vs Goku fight, DBZ fights didnt get really interesting to me until Trunks came along. But thats my opinion.
With the exception of the idiocy shown by goku when he let go of raditz's tail that fight was epic
I second this. I tried it, and it's just not the same. It's almost unwatchable.

It's all a matter of perspective. On the contrary, I can only listen to Masako Nozawa's voice as Goku.

So in your opinion Son Goku is a girl? Because thatīs whats so bad about his japanese voice: not that a woman is his voice, but that this voice still sounds like a womanīs voice in the anime.
In the German version of The Simpsons Bartīs voice actor is a woman...but you cant hear that, sounds like a young boyīs voice.
I really hate the japanese voice of Son Goku.
Erm...no?
Bart's voice in the original belongs to a woman too. So is Naruto's.
Anyway, people accept Goku's voice mostly because they started watching from the start, when he was still little and had a girly voice. The voice actor (or actress in this case) never changed, and the Japanese viewers grew to know Nozawa's voice as Goku's. I'm not saying it's better or worse than the English dubs, just that people have different preferences and for me it's the original voices cause that was what I had.

Sub > Dub 99% of the time.
It's the same problem a lot of people had with the Kenshin dub/sub. Kenshin comes off a lot more feminine in the original Japanese track, being voiced by a woman.
For me, DBZ Goku just always had this very assertive, manly voice, and hearing him sound that young is just very very strange. If this was original Dragonball, I doubt I'd have a problem at all. It's just the context.
Haha. Not saying they sucked or anything, but they just aren't as exciting to me as everything that comes afterwards.
As for voices.... I think it just depends on what you got use to. I'm use to Goku's sub voice. It was the same with Kenshin, I saw the show on Toonami first and I got use to his dub voice, then when I went to watch the subs, it took awhile to accept his sub voice.
I gotta say I hate Goku's japanese voice too. It's because he has the exact same voice as an adult that he did when he was a little kid. The voice was fitting when he's like this 8 year old little monkey kid. But to not change that voice AT ALL when he's grown up? It's just kind of stupid.
That said, I never did buy DBZ on DVD, so here's hoping it eventually gets released by Funimation and I'll probably actually buy DBK if it does.
Who's the better subber out of the 2 groups?
Wow, only 3 episodes to kill Raditz. How many episodes does DBZ take to finish Raditz? I guess that Piccolo joke was filler material too.
Is it just me or did they add special effects and shinier coloring to the action sequences?
