I'll admit my reasoning's a little different as it's a bit more dub-centric. Have nostalgic feelings for the original FUNimation dub but think the pacing’s too slow / voice acting’s too stilted / or the script’s awkwardly translated? Like the tightness in pacing and superb voice acting of Kai but miss the Bruce Faulconer score, some of the old voice actors who unfortunately didn’t return, too distracted by the MS Paint-like replacement animation, or even think that some of the cuts in Kai were too abrupt and missed some of the more endearing filler here and there?
This is the Dragon Ball Z: 30th Anniversary Legacy Edition Re-cut…my feeble attempt at making a “perfect” version of DBZ.
Video:
- The Saiyan Saga uses the footage from the tragically discontinued “Level” Blu-Ray Sets from 2011. Namek onwards will mix footage from from the recent Spanish Selectavision set and Kai, color-corrected and with other slight tweaks to make the footage as seamless as possible in 1080p. Although not edited as much as Kai, there's still enough cut where the pacing reflects that of OG Dragon Ball (which in my opinion is perfect).
Audio:
- The Saiyan and Namek sagas’ soundtrack consist mainly of a Faulconer re-score, as well as some Nathan Johnson placements. The Ginyu / Frieza Sagas onwards will be entirely Bruce Faulconer. However, I do retain the openings, endings, and insert songs from the Japanese OST. And yes...there's moments of silence in the Bruce score this time.
- Voice acting will be an equal combination of both FUNimation’s 2005 revision and the Kai dub, however I will retain some character’s V.O.'s from the original (mainly Bulma, Gohan, and Android 18).
