Do you really want a Buu Saga in Kai?

[theoriginalbilis]

Do I want it? Yes. Will we ever get it? Most likely not.

The latter half of the Buu arc is rather enjoyable (mainly because of the craziness and the constant jumps in power), and I would like to see it without the constant cuts back to the Afterlife and the Kaioshin Realm.

[Fulicer]

Yes, because of how Vegeta develops as a character. Also, the Kai dub is really good.

But anyway, it unfortunately won't happen. But if the stars align and some other miracle happens, TOEI would decide that it would be a good way to make money.

[Travis Touchdown]

I like seeing Gohan grow up into an adult. I love Goten's character. I like Vegeta's character development, and I really liked how heartwarming it was for Goku to be revived. If they were to end it with the final scene being them at the lookout, or the party filler episode, I'd be satisfied.

However, being a "true to the manga" cut of the series, that wouldn't be likely to happen. If I have to choose between an ending in which Goku dies a martyr, who decides to not be resurrected because he feels he's a magnet for evil strong guys to terrorize Earth and everyone he cares about, and has confidence in his son that the Earth and everyone is safe in Gohan's hands, then I'll take that over Goku abandoning his family and friends to go train a complete and total stranger just so he can have a quick sparring match once the training is done. The Buu Saga ending made it seem as if Goku hadn't really grown or matured at all by the end and made him come off as shallow. The Cell Saga ending is really touching and uplifting the way the torch is passed down.

So no, I'm happy with the ending they ultimately decided on.

On a side note, do you think Toriyama was trying to get the series back to its roots with the Buu saga? I've been wondering that for some time.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Even though I like Boo arc, I don't want it in Kai. I always felt that the Kai arcs with the Boo arc should be in seperate series, and I feel like Kai seperated them.

[SylentEcho]

Most of my friends like the Boo arc the best! It's a very well made arc, I don't see why people dislike it.

My Likes:
1. For the first time a higher SSJ level looked different.
2. We had something totally new in "Fusion".
3. We had a villain who was actually funny and kept changing with traits of the ones he absorbed which kept the whole arc fresh and edgy.
4. There were a LOT of twists and turns.

Dislikes:
1. The ending. (Gohan and Gotenks not saving the day and Goku being alive)


I think I'm the only one here who says that I'm glad the Boo arc wasn't done because that will make people watch Z! If the Boo arc were done in Kai, hardly anyone would watch the original show anymore.

Whoever wants to watch the Boo Z arc will have to get themselves the orange bricks, at this point, the orange bricks are really good in comparison to earlier seasons.

Though, there's the Dragon Box Z volumes they're still at a decent price, so they should get them now if they want.

Or alternatively, read the manga.

Or the singles VHS/DVD.

DVD - The Single DVDs aren't even fully uncut since it's the 276 episodes edition, yah?

VHS - Who the hell still has a VCR Player?

I do have a VCR Player but I never use it or play tapes on it.

But if you were to only buy the Majin-Boo arc, then that's irrelevant.

[dbboxkaifan]

But if you were to only buy the Majin-Boo arc, then that's irrelevant.

It was censored/cut so it does matter and no one should pick up that version for said reason (as it's already available uncut).

The only censoring and cutting was during the Saban Saiyan and Namek arc episodes, and after that the rest of the series was release uncut, meaning the Boo-arc was released in it's entirety.

If you can't get the Dragon Boxes, I'd' definitely recommend the singles for the episodes they're available for over the orange bricks.

[dbboxkaifan]

[quote="Metalwario64"]The video quality of Seasons 8 and 9 aren't really that bad, quite good, so instead of bothering to buy all singles for Boo's arc, the season sets could be just fine.

I wish all DBZ orange bricks had the quality of season nine.

The cropping is also bad, but the colours/saturation/brightness literally kills the enjoyment of seeing DBZ with that poor quality.

[Pokewhiz7]

The image quality is fine on those seasons but the cropping just kills it.
I once said I would buy those if something happened to my Dragon Boxes, but I tried to watch something cropped, and it was unwatchable. The singles don't look terrible.

[SylentEcho]

I'd rather they watch it online than buy that garbage. Or they could just trace the last two Dragon Boxes or just buy the singles.

[Hellspawn28]

I think you will have people check out the original anime to see how it is if they like Kai. I personally enjoy the Buu saga since Buu was a fun villain and the saga had some of the best battles IMO. I would love to see a kai version of the Buu saga.

[sangofe]

I keep hearing bad stuff about the Buu Saga and yet Kai fans complain how the Buu Saga wasn't included in Kai. What do you think?

The Boo saga has always been my favorite.

[dbboxkaifan]

If the Boo arc were done in Kai, hardly anyone would watch the original show anymore.

I dunno how Boo's arc would be in Kai, but in Z it was f-word hilarious, I'd like to re-watch the Boo arc though in HD quality, however, the Levels have been cancelled so it's stalled for me.

I'd rather they watch it online than buy that garbage. Or they could just trace the last two Dragon Boxes or just buy the singles.

Do you think a casual would bother to get the DBZ Singles instead of the DBZ Orange Bricks, when the orange bricks have way more episodes than the singles just for the certain price sold? OB's the solution for them, and whoever.

[Piccolo Daimao]

I probably like the Buu arc more than the Artificial Human arc. It's consistent and doesn't have any ass-pulls as big as Dr. Gero.

*knock, knock*

SS Goten and Trunks say hi.

If the Boo arc were done in Kai, hardly anyone would watch the original show anymore.

I think you will have people check out the original anime to see how it is if they like Kai.

Also, you could compare it to film or video game remakes, where you end up watching/playing the original to see how it stands up. And no, don't bring up how many Hollywood film remakes are crap, because that's subjective and some are actually good. Plus, not all remakes of films are from Hollywood.

[Attitudefan]

There's some process to remove music from a stereo recording, though I have no idea how well it works. But I doubt there's anything that can be done with a mono track.

Wasn't Kei17 able to remove BGM from the JPN DBZ episodes?

It's said to be easier to remove BGM from English dub than Japanese audio, but I'm not into this kind of stuff really.

Because he had these "Drama" CD's which were the DBZ audio in stereo.

He had to manually invert each separate song. It would take a long time.
