Possible Kai hate from Z fans?

Just an observation that can be moved if it fit better in another category, but do any of you guys think it's possible that DB Kai might get some hate from fans of Z because of changes, and not being like its predecessor? Notice that happens quite a bit with series that get remade or have new versions. For example, Battle of the Planets fans absolutely hate G-Force with a passion and voice their opinion all the time, despite G-Force being less censored and truer to the original Gatchaman than Battle of the Planets was. The new TMNT also got a bit of flack for not being like the old Turtles. Thoughts?

Any little change, no matter how much sense it may make to most people, will ALWAYS have "haters."

Whenever something is popular and something new comes out you will always have people who 'hate' it and those who like it. Although with Kai I'm sure a smaller proportion will take exception when compared with the season sets.

I not liking the if you hate any aspect of Kai then go to hell attitude a lot of people are getting even when it comes to simple criticism of the way Toei's treating the series such as the BGM or the completely unnecessary cropping.

You always get the "Well Toei already made the Dragonboxes so it's fine." No it's not.

Unfortunately true.

I really don't see why to hate it, sure, it's different from the anime, but it's also much closer to the manga which is the original, and the only one that "matters" (is that the word I'm looking for?)

Judging from only one episode, I like it

The only problem I have with it is that Funimation was practically torn a new one over the years for doing the almost exact same things that Toei is doing now to the series. It comes across a bit hypocritical on the part of the Japanese only fans.

I actually didn't have a problem with the cropping from either Funimation or Toei, but I did not like Funimations colors, or their voice acting

It's even possible to hate Kai?? I don't know, everything I know likes it and even it's reworked old DBZ, friends tellin' that they are again in ''love'' with Dragon Ball after that years

I have no problem with Kai. o_O;;;

Besides its not like Toei doesn't have the singles for Z available for purchase. And I've seen so many "unofficial" abridged series that I have no issue with an official one existing.

Also we get brand new animation for the opening, ending, and eyecatchers. :3 That Goku VS Vegeta battle in the opening looks beautiful.

You're crazy if you think that FUNimation put as much effort into their remastered sets as Toei put into Dragon Ball Kai.

I dont hate this series, but for those who liked my DVD cases vid, I'll be making a video review of my thoughts of the first episode.

I think it goes without saying, and it's been mentioned before, that there will be plenty of haters.

Personally, I don't feel I'll enjoy it as much (although, there are things I'm VERY interested in seeing). I haven't seen it yet, but I hope to cure that when I arrive home from work.

I do wonder what people are thinking, though. Why not just let people enjoy whatever version they enjoy? I have my season sets, if I ever get a full-screen release (dragonbox, perhaps?) I'll buy that, and if they release Kai, I'll buy that too. Why not? They'll all have their enjoyable qualities about them.

That long ago, Japanese-only fans said things like, "If FUNi had finished their 4:3 DVDs first then this wouldn't be so bad." Toei finished theirs so it isn't a big deal that Kai is cropped.

I've already met DB Kai haters.

"THEY RUINED THE ARTWORK! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SABER TIGER! F*CK THIS SH*T!"

Well, I do kinda miss the tiger. I mean, that was a cute set of scenes.

Twenty minutes of Gohan crying and wandering lost in the woods is considered 'engrossing' to you?

Plus, technically the manga is the original, and that one didn't have Gohan crying
