フリーザはボクが倒す！もう１人の超サイヤ人
Furiiza wa Boku ga Taosu! Mou Hitori no Suupaa Saiya-jin
I'll Defeat Freeza! Another Super Saiyan

[kenisu3000]

There's another handful of new music this time... and it's even better than last episode's!

And early on in the episode, for me, there was a shot of Trunks that KeyHole screwed up, which showed most of Trunks' face, but Freeza was talking and you could see his black lips moving over where Trunks' mouth should have been. It was quite hilarious!

[Treklin]

Good episode and good music!!

Freeza was again divided into two half:

[Gaffer Tape]

Okay, I've been wondering this for quite a while... do all Japanese broadcasts feel required to place the clock in the top left-hand corner of the screen? Why? How long has this practice been going on?

[penguintruth]

The music used for Trunks' transformation was disappointing. Compare that to "Battle Power Unlimited".

Good episode and good music!!

Freeza was again divided into two half:

I watched it on VLC, so I could record it and stick it on YouTube, and managed to do it before the episode ended!

Yeah, I noticed this too. It's really useful for telling me on when the show is about to end.

They do the same thing in the UK, and I'm sure other countries do it too...

When the first time I watch Kai it's there too

[Gaffer Tape]

But why....? Why do they feel compelled to do that? Do they assume the viewers don't have their own timepieces?

And to stay on topic... yeesh, how jarring when the animation suddenly shifts from awesomely amazing to misproportioned triangles...

[Goku100xKamehameha]

It's maybe because a lot of Japanese elder watch Morning show(It's appears only Morning show have clock but I don't know for sure if noon,afternoon or tonight show have clock), so that's like reminder what's time is it so you won't come late to work.

[Mewzard]

I know Digimon Savers had a Clock like such, and I think it even goes back into the 90s, but I could be mistaken. Memory's not what a goldfish's used to be, so can't be sure.

[Goku100xKamehameha]

Even on DragonBall Kai Krillin still checking Gohan ass

What are these "Triangle-men" I keep hearing so much about?

BTW, how is it that you guys manage to get such video good quality? Last I checked, keyhole's quality was terrible...

[Gaffer Tape]

The animation studio headed up by Ebisawa Yukio where characters seem rather stretched thin with really tall eyes and very pointy chins.

They using this it open on browser using WMP, I would use that to but when I watch on there it's only play sound maybe because my slow Internet connection

You recorded the streaming with VLC? To comment the clip; I think the music was very anti dramatic, and didn't fit at all.

[Son Wukong]

Glad to hear Trunks' voice actor still sounds the same. The episode itself was also pretty solid. The thing that I noticed though was the scene where Trunks catches the second blast that Freeza fires at him. In Dragonball Z, Trunks is shown first screaming and then catching the blast while in Kai he catches it and screams during his defence. It’s very minor and insignificant and I’m not sure why this scene was imprinted in my mind this well.

Wow, it's got nothing on the original. Voice acting, pacing (it just seems to go so quickly, no build-up or drama), and especially music.

In my opinion its a massive improvement on the original, the pace was just right, with some awesome new music in just the right place.
Ryūzaburō Ōtomo made a fantastic King Cold.
Although he will always be Crocodile to me.
