There were bad music in parts but the music that played when Gohan was trying to teach Videl about energy was really good. Also that scene out of context looks wrong... :lol:

How the hell did Vegeta not know Trunks was able to go SS? :eh:
He didn't train with him before? I mean, Gohan didn't know about Goten & he's his brother.
I can buy the Goten one since it didn't seem Gohan trained at all and was just about his studies, but it was implied that Vegeta I find it hard to believe that this was the first time Trunks decided to train with him. Plus why wouldn't Trunks show off about it to his father sooner? Again I can buy the Goten one since Chichi.

DBZ Kai TFC Dub episode title. Episode 107/9.

"Everyone Is Surprised! Goten and Trunks' Super Battle"

For reference, here is the Japanese title translated by our friends here at Kanzenshuu.
"Everyone is Shocked! Goten and Trunks’ Super Battle!!"
みんなビックリ!悟天とトランクスの超バトル!!. The only difference is the Exclamation points after "Battle". And could "Shocked" also be translated as "Surprised" too?

Yeah just waiting for it to be active and get more info but this probably means that Kai will wrap up by June and Super will start being released in July, presumably monthly for the first couple sets to catch up and then normal schedule. Not a bad plan by FUNi in all honesty.

An idea i thought up, only for consistency for everybody, for after the first few printings go out of stock, they could just repackage the same sets as "Seasons" since they both have about 26~ish episodes and since I have the Seasons, consistency can work for everybody!

Wow, didn't think they would announce it this soon but I'm delighted as it will mean I get to have a Kai marathon and see the remainder of the series come June (fingers crossed for part three to be released then).

Besides Kai 1.0 did well on Toonami despite being on home video for years, there's no reason the same can't happen for 2.0
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula :thumbup:

They also have listings for One Piece Film Gold & Collection 18 ready to be finished so people can preorder. Yes!
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

My wallet will disagree with me at the time, but I'm kind of happy they will seemingly be burning through it really quickly. They no doubt realize that while Kai will sell no doubt, it's Super that people will be really clamoring for, and there's no reason to let Kai's sales be diminished by Super even more by letting them both be coming out at the same time. I figure that's another reason we're getting so many episodes per set right off the bat with this one - Super I'm fully expecting to go to the more standard 13-or-so episodes a set at first.

Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters: Part 2 (Ep. 122-144)

23 episodes again.
FUNi have listed stuff that isn't due out in May ie Free! they have annouced for July yesterday yet it's solicited here. So I am really hoping Kai is for May. This is literally perfect scenario.

I thought we'd get the 2nd part in July and the 3rd part in October, getting them all by June would be really great. I'd be able to watch all of Kai in the summer alongside Z's 2 TV specials and original 12 movies. :mrgreen:

Neat. I guess this is where all my spending money is going forever, and I don't even like the damned thing.

I've had this thought so many times over the years. First it was the Season Sets. Then it was, hopefully, the Dragon Boxes (didn't manage with that one sadly). Then it was with Kai's first run. Then I finally got all of the manga. Then, we got a couple of new movies. Then Kai's come back, and Super's coming...

...My point is, anyone out there absolutely filthy rich want to bump me with their car, just a little bit? Enough to where you have to lend me some cash? It'd be greatly appreciated. :P

On a less joking note, if this set is another 23 episodes, where exactly does that take us to in terms of story?

Part 3 will be the last release at this rate. So, 2/3 of the way in.

Then why buy it?...

Anyway, I'm glad this is coming out soon, but I'm probably going to hold off until I can get a box set/bundle of Kai in its entirety.
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

I don't think they're going to release something like that, the reason they're releasing this so fast is to get to Super so this will more than likely be the only thing we get.

Because when I watch it with other people, they tend to prefer the English. Convenience more than anything else.

Yup once Kai is out the way Super will be the daddy. We're getting a season set as a part they're pretty much not gonna touch Kai again after TFC is done.

And THAT is why I don't care for your posts in these threads at all. If you don't like the English dub, why comment in English dub forums? Your posts have more often than not pissed people off. Mostly me, but I don't see many people coming to your aid in these particular forums.
