Re: "Kai-ifying" the original Dragon Ball
As far as the Pilaf filler from the first arc goes, that is one of the rare instances where I think the filler actually really helps and makes for a stronger story. Therefore, I would be hard pressed to lose any of it. The first thirteen episodes always worked pretty well for me; however, I do think...

"Kai-ifying" the original Dragon Ball
If you were to go through the first Dragon Ball series and give it the Kai treatment, what filler would you leave in? More specifically, how much of the Pilaf filler would you leave in from the first thirteen episode arc? In the manga, we don't see Pilaf until a bit late in the story, if I remember ...

Re: Chris Sabat announces Buu saga licensed by Funimation
Here's hoping for a recast for Fat Buu, Super Buu, Goten and Trunks. Enough with the rasp! Agree, agree, agree, agree. Despite me not liking the Buu Saga, I did like a majority of the voice actors for the characters. Hopefully none of them get replaced. DISAGREE, DISAGREE. It boggles my mind how ma...

Re: A few things about DBZ Kai in the UK
I watched the first 2 episodes then stopped, i don't know if it was the dubbing or something else but it seemed to lack soul. They also cut Raditz killing the farmer and i am just not having that. I am all for some of the filler being cut but Kai over did it for me. The reason you didn't see Raditz...

Re: DB/Z/GT/Kai things you still haven't seen
I actually haven't seen a lot of the anime-related material because I'm really not a big fan of the original animes, they're just too loaded with filler and they drag on so much that it makes it almost unbearable to watch for me. I mean, as a kid I ate it up, but even then I realized that the fight ...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming.
I don't hear what you hear. Even if it was phoned in, Kelamis sounds way too unnatural for my tastes. I'll have to agree with you for the most part here. While I actually really like Kelamis's voice for Goku, the acting just isn't there. However, it doesn't seem to bother me in the uncut Ocean dub ...

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming.
Drummond is a great talent and he was excellent as Vegeta in the early seasons, but his voice only really works when Vegeta is the villain. I've seen clips on Youtube from the Buu arc and it just doesn't work for me. I definitely agree with this. While growing up and watching the original Ocean Dub...

Re: Ripping the unreleased Kai tracks?
Welp, I gave Creature Of Marvel (Bottom Layer) my best shot. It isn't perfect, but it's the best I could do. Anyway, it sounds better than any other extract I've heard so far. Volume levels are a little inconsistent, though (gets louder or quieter in spots.) For regular listening purposes, it's... o...

Not surprisingly, all of the links posted are currently dead. I'm looking for all of the unreleased tracks, so I'll take...

Re: Easing into the Japanese Version
The issue I had with Japanese Kai, and it may seem rather trivial to a lot of you, was that it was moving so quickly that it was difficult for me to enjoy the show and animation when subtitles were being fired at me in such rapid succession. Granted, I only watched the first two episodes or so which...

Re: Bad sound quality for Japanese DB/DBZ
I've never really been bothered by the lower quality of the Japanese audio as I figured that it was the best possible audio available and there was nothing I could do about it; simply a product of its time and I was okay with that. However, once I stumbled upon these comparisons, I was very surprise...

Re: DBZ portion of Manga to be in full color?!
This is very exciting and, if they do intend to keep the color DB in their magazine up until the end of the series, then I might consider purchasing a subscription. I'll have to download one of them for 99 cents first just to see if it's something that I can use. Actually, could anyone tell me how t...

I've said it before, but I guess it bears repeating... Regarding Gohan and the Dinosaurs material in the future Kai episodes: It is possible to remove all of the dinosaur material and much, if not all, of the high school filler; all one would need to do is place the scratch onto Gohan's face after h...

Thank you for the kind words, everyone! As you can imagine, it did take a good while to finish. It wasn't easy, either; I had to be very careful with how I went about carving it. But I think all of that work paid off and I'm glad you all enjoy it!

Link to your video? Sorry, man, no can do; I don't want to violate any rules here. And I stand by how I feel about Kara Edwards voicing Goten and Videl. Again, her Videl might turn out okay if her performance dramatically improves, which is a possibility given the better direction of the Kai dub. H...

Re: Kai Continues Outside Japan
That's an error of quoting. Fixed, sorry about that. I wouldn't mind Colleen playing Goten, I just hope that she would play it at least slightly differently than she plays Gohan or Goku, making it so that every voice of hers doesn't sound exactly the same. I would love for Saffron Henderson to come...

Re: Kai Continues Outside Japan
Hmm...they'll probably have to keep at least parts of the Pterodactyl stuff in the Saiyaman arc, right? I seem to recall the anime having the end of that be how Videl figures out who Gohan is. Well, they could do the same thing that I did for my own custom "kai" edit, wherein I managed to...
