Hopefully they will do something with it. I'll buy R2's if they come out any time soon (probably not), if it looks like funny wants to ignore it, which I can see them doing, because it would be sort of embarrassing from their perspective to do their horrible remastering and then try and sell us TOEI's (what appears to be better) remastering. But, I do definitely want them to release it so I can have subs.

I just hate it because it's an inaccurate line. Sure it's a small one but I really don't like fucked up numbers in mah dubs dammit!B wrote:I don't see the problem, Sabat(nor Horikawa) ever say it with enough force to be considered "funny" anyway.

I actually really hope they do! What's the betting they will somehow tinker with it and bugger something up that should have been left alone. Still... I would not complain.
A remastered series with no Great Saiyaman..... (Can't wait) Oh no! Would this mean there would be no driving lesson episodes?!... What about the famous bad man shirt! - Oh no!

Probably about 3-4 episodes of Great Saiyaman/Tournament Training..B wrote:There's gotta be some Great Saiyaman in Kai; he is in the manga.
Anyways, I think FUNimation will dub it in a few years (if they can get the license) and I'm really hoping they will treat DBK like they are doing with One Piece, which could mean a dub as good as the original version!!! (which is really, really, really rare).

Dragonball Kai is a chance for FUNimation to finally do the series justice, I don't expect the actors to be replaced (though Linda Young getting the boot would be fantastic) but there is absolutely no reason DBK can't have the same calibre of dub as One Piece (in terms of script anyway, I would still argue that the majority of DBZ is hopelessly miscast).
I think FUNimation given a fresh start, could produce something at the very least adequate, but that depends if they decide to keep peddling the same faux-hardcore nonsense or actually give the series the treatment it deserves.

This could be either the greatest thing ever, or another disappointment.
If FUNimation chooses to use a more accurate dub script, and USE THE ORIGINAL MUSIC DAMMIT, then theres a chance It'll rock the house.
But we have to be prepared that this isn't likely. More likely they're going to pander to "the retarded six year old" demographic, since theres a much larger base in the US for that version these days then true to the original stuff.
It would certainly be counterproductive to dub it the same way as DBZ was dubbed, but this is FUNimation. When it comes to Dragonball they're fucking retarded.

Due to the fact Kai is going to basically be a splice job, I don't really see FUNimation fixing anything. Maybe translate the new OPs and EDs in English, but that's it.
And to be honest, I'm fine with that. It's not the worst dub in the world, it'd be great if they just let Vale and Rye do the entire show, but I could go either way. I just want to see Dragon Ball Z in the aspect ratio it was meant to be seen.

For some reason, I don't think FUNi will even acknowledge the DB special or Kai. I think they're getting to a point where they will just drop Dragon Ball and move on. I'm probably wrong since FUNi knows how to milk money out of human beings without physically probing them, but that is just how I felt lately.
