Re: Do you really want a Buu Saga in Kai?
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.

Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.
Re: Do you really want a Buu Saga in Kai?
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.

Re: Do you really want a Buu Saga in Kai?
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.

Re: Do you really want a Buu Saga in Kai?
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.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Re: Do you really want a Buu Saga in Kai?
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.SylentEcho wrote: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!

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.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand?

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).linkdude20002001 wrote:But if you were to only buy the Majin-Boo arc, then that's irrelevant.

Re: Do you really want a Buu Saga in Kai?
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.dbboxkaifan wrote: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).linkdude20002001 wrote:But if you were to only buy the Majin-Boo arc, then that's irrelevant.
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.

Re: Do you really want a Buu Saga in Kai?
[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.

Re: Do you really want a Buu Saga in Kai?
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.

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.

Re: Do you really want a Buu Saga in Kai?
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.SylentEcho wrote: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.SylentEcho wrote:If the Boo arc were done in Kai, hardly anyone would watch the original show anymore.
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?

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.Hellspawn28 wrote:I think you will have people check out the original anime to see how it is if they like Kai.SylentEcho wrote:If the Boo arc were done in Kai, hardly anyone would watch the original show anymore.

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