Yeah, I been looking to get part 3 and 4 again on DVD or Bluray. I just have those parts burned off on DVD cause I like watching them with the Yamamoto scoreJEFFMAN219 wrote: Sat Oct 17, 2020 12:19 pm Yesterday I bought all the Kai 1.0 parts on DVD off of someone from Facebook for 90 bucks. The first 4 parts have the Yamamoto score so I got a pretty good deal. I use to own parts 3 and 4 years ago but sold it.

Yup I originally wanted to only buy parts 1-5 but the seller wanted to sell all the parts together and at that price I couldn't refuse.samuraix123 wrote: Sat Oct 17, 2020 12:59 pmYeah, I been looking to get part 3 and 4 again on DVD or Bluray.

Yeah, you were quite lucky to get Part 4 with Yamamoto, as neither Manga UK nor Madman got to release those episodes with the score and Funimation's set had a shorter printing than 1-3 (which unlike 4 can only be found with the Yamamoto score) before switching to Kikuchi for subsequent printings.JEFFMAN219 wrote: Sat Oct 17, 2020 12:19 pm Yesterday I bought all the Kai 1.0 parts on DVD off of someone from Facebook for 90 bucks.

I managed to get Part 4 with the double pack set version along with Part 3 a while back and it was indeed the Yamamoto version in there, and apparently though it seems the former was re printed with the Kikuchi replacement score at some point after the music scandal broke and those are harder to find when compared to the original Yamamoto release. The initial Season One set by FUNi from back in late 2011 is definitely much rarer than the later Kikuchi re release.JEFFMAN219 wrote: Sat Oct 17, 2020 3:08 pmYup I originally wanted to only buy parts 1-5 but the seller wanted to sell all the parts together and at that price I couldn't refuse.samuraix123 wrote: Sat Oct 17, 2020 12:59 pmYeah, I been looking to get part 3 and 4 again on DVD or Bluray.

I originally had parts 1-4 on DVD then Traded them all off like a big dummy because I just wasn't in love with Kai, but later on I got parts 1 and 2 back on bluray with Yamamoto and 3 and 4 I had to burn because the online prices were just out of this world crazy. from that day, I vowed to not sell anything Dragonball related again from my collection unless it's to help a friend and I have duplicates of it. In my area of Kentucky, It's just too hard to get anything like that back. When the Dragonboxes got released, I didn't see 1 of them in the store. I had to order them online.JEFFMAN219 wrote: Sat Oct 17, 2020 3:08 pmYup I originally wanted to only buy parts 1-5 but the seller wanted to sell all the parts together and at that price I couldn't refuse.samuraix123 wrote: Sat Oct 17, 2020 12:59 pmYeah, I been looking to get part 3 and 4 again on DVD or Bluray.

I sold my Kai sets 5 years ago because I got sick and tired for waiting for the Final Chapters and I was watching Z more but I can't stand the Z dub of the Frieza saga anymore due to it sounding real bad and cheesy lol. Kai in my opinion is the best way to watch that entire saga in English.samuraix123 wrote: Sat Oct 17, 2020 6:00 pmI originally had parts 1-4 on DVD then Traded them all off like a big dummy because I just wasn't in love with Kai, but later on I got parts 1 and 2 back on bluray with Yamamoto and 3 and 4 I had to burn because the online prices were just out of this world crazy. from that day, I vowed to not sell anything Dragonball related again from my collection unless it's to help a friend and I have duplicates of it.

No question there, Kai 1.0 is hands down my go to version for watching DBZ in English because the old Z dub is just so god awful especially the Freeza arc where the FUNi cast first took over the voices back in 1999. I'm glad to have a dub of the show that's actually decent.JEFFMAN219 wrote: Sun Oct 18, 2020 10:06 amI sold my Kai sets 5 years ago because I got sick and tired for waiting for the Final Chapters and I was watching Z more but I can't stand the Z dub of the Frieza saga anymore due to it sounding real bad and cheesy lol.

Had no idea Kai sets cost that much, no way in hell would I have even considered paying that amount of money for what I consider a mediocre half-measure that tries to please both camps of DBZ fans and IMO does not really do a great job of pleasing either one. There's simply too much good stuff removed for me to get past it(as someone else mentioned in another thread, character development really gets the short end of the stick in Kai, as it feels like characters just abruptly change too quickly with little explanation).SuperSaiyaManZ94 wrote: Sun Oct 18, 2020 10:35 amNo question there, Kai 1.0 is hands down my go to version for watching DBZ in English because the old Z dub is just so god awful especially the Freeza arc where the FUNi cast first took over the voices back in 1999.

Eh, it's not the absolute best ever but still the closest we've gotten to an acceptable yet flawed dub of DBZ even if not to quite the level of the old school DBZ movies 1-3 dubs that Pioneer did back in the day. Given that FUNi at this point is likely not going to do a complete redub of the series anytime soon if ever. I still watch Z proper in Japanese though because it's dub really isn't very good especially the Freeza and Cell arcs and to a lesser degree on the same note the Buu arc and 2005 redubbed Saiyan/Namek stuff.Planetnamek wrote: Sun Oct 18, 2020 11:59 amHad no idea Kai sets cost that much, no way in hell would I have even considered paying that amount of money for what I consider a mediocre half-measure that tries to please both camps of DBZ fans and IMO does not really do a great job of pleasing either one.

I only have ''Season 1'' (on DVD) and Part 3 (also on DVD). I want Part 4 with the Yamamoto score to make my collection consistent. It's both a nerdy AND a OCD-type thingie. Lol

Ended up buying the Final Chapters after putting it off for 3 years. Watched a couple of scenes and I don't know if its my TV settings but the green tint is barely noticeable at all compared to what I saw on YouTube and the Japanese broadcast back in 2014. However the bgm music and the sound effects sound a bit low on the English dub compared to the Japanese version.samuraix123 wrote: Tue Oct 20, 2020 5:25 pmI actually got the Final Chapters Blurays recently and enjoyed them a lot! the only thing I didn't like was they didn't include the other ending videos like the Japanese sets had for. reasons.
