Wow, that really is a huge shift in green. The whites of peoples are tinged that colour much like the Dragon Boxes' red. That's...a peculiar choice.

It's more or less been confirmed that the episode count of the Buu arc has been halved. I'd like to know where the 66+/- came from.

Does anyone know/remember how long it took for us to get an official episode count of the Cell arc with Kai? I wonder when we'll really know how many episodes there will be...

Considering that Kai wasn't overly successful in Japan, I'd imagine they would want to keep the episode count low.

the point of Kai was to get rid of filler, so by default the episode count is going to be low.

It's not related with the success of Kai, it has to do with the point of Dragon Ball Kai. The Saiyan/Freeza/Cell arcs are 199 episodes in DBZ, while they are 98 in DBKai, which are around half the episodes of DBZ. The Great Saiyaman arc has nothing to do with Dragon Ball Kai, because most of it is filler. The goal isn't to modernize DBZ, the goal is to modernize DBZ and cut as much filler as possible.
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.

If they got rid of it then they wouldn't have any fights at all cause in the manga they are very short

Will FUNimation be allowed to dub the songs, or will they be kept solely in Japanese? I know they didn't dub every insert song, but it would seem odd if the opening/endings didn't get dubbed.

I'm pretty sure they will given their habits of practice in recent years.

It's probably safe to assume that they probably will dub the songs, yeah. The only thing I could see preventing them is if some kind of music rights' issue comes up.

For the songs that are composed specifically for the franchise (like the new opening), I'm sure FUNi will be allowed to write and record English versions.

But the ending songs (which are apparently just going to be random pop/rock songs from random artists?) might be trickier. Some artists don't want their songs "dubbed." Remember the FLOW situation with the recent movie.

This is a tricky question. Toei (specifically Avex) has been pretty weird with the domestic releases of their shows OP/EDs recently. They more or less requested that FUNimation stop dubbing the One Piece songs after Season 4, and the Toriko dub contained the original Japanese songs as well. The reason behind this was I guess to promote the original artists work, which is understandable. I do hope they are allowed to continue dubbing the songs with Kai though, but no one can really say at this point.

What's the whole story about that? I heard bits and pieces of it but never the full story.

Dragon Ball GT also had seemingly random ending songs, and all of them were dubbed by Funimation. They even went out of their way to restore the animations for Endings 2-4. So, I think they probably will do them. Then again, I'm also curious about this FLOW situation.
