4Kids Confirms DBZ:Kai on CW4Kids Block and Possible Editing

[TheBlackPaladin]

I'm pretty sure the new previews are shorter than the originals, which would be logical due to the amount of time they have to air it before the next series starts. If anything, blame the amount of commercials that air.

Eh........that's......somewhat feasible, I guess. There are still commercials on Nicktoons, though. Furthermore, if that was really the case that they were concerned with a few seconds of extra time, they could have done what they did with "Dragon Soul" and simply released a shortened version of the original.

[LeprikanGT]

Also, no original next episode preview. Instead, it's done in a comic book style.

I already don't like this version; there is a HUGE black bar on each side of the picture making it way smaller than my tv screen.

Er, you know they're airing Z Kai in 4:3, right?[/quote]

Yes I'm aware of that, but when it is on Nicktoons, it fills my entire screen.

And I love the Manga panel previews, Kai is new, so thats something new to see; doesn't change the home release so it's interesting.

[TheBlackPaladin]

To their credit, they did at least keep the original musical score. I had a really bad feeling they were gonna change that. That kind of marketability edit, more than any other, gets on my nerves.

But hey, they didn't do it. Thank you for that, 4kids.

If anyone could post a YouTube clip of Farmer With Shotgu--sorry, Farmer With Laser Blaster, I'd appreciate it.

Again, they did to a small extent. In this case, the revised next episode preview. Plus Sean Schemmel said way back that Ocean was preparing their own dub of Kai in which they wanted to change the musical score. The thought crossed my mind that he may have been hearing ideas about the planned airing of Kai on 4Kids and mistook it for an Ocean dub. None of that came to pass, though, so all's well there.

How do we know that Funi didn't do that themselves to make it fit in the allotted time?

[Fishman]

Watching it right now.

Farmer with a Shotgun is now Farmer with a Laser Gun.

I didn't spot any notable edits to the gun itself, but it fires glowing blue bullets.

[Tsukento]

Dude, again. 4Kids has NOTHING to do with the editing being done. They're simply BROADCASTING it. FUNi is the only one who has the license to the show in the US. 4Kids does not. Everything you see on TV was done by FUNi for the network it's airing on.

[Soul]

Oh and the Next Episode preview is done by 4Kids.
How so? Its other next episode previews from this morning were done in the Comic Book style, with the rest of Toonzai look.

I started my introduction to Dragonball Kai with the Blu-ray disc unedited release, then followed up from there watching the end of the fight with Vegeta through the Namek Saga on Nicktoons via my DVR. This morning, I was eating my breakfast and just happened upon the 4kids premier while eating so I watched it to see what they'd done with it. Considering I did not see the Nicktoons version of the first episode (Only the Blu-ray disc version) I have a question. Roshi's beer was edited white (to be milk in a mug?) Was this the same edit on Nicktoons, or was it a different color? You know, I remember some televised version of Z from years ago having him drinking Pepsi Blue in a mug too. I'm curious, of all the versions of Z and Kai, how many different beverages Roshi has been seen drinking in that scene over the years. Anyone know? It's one of the most infamous edits to the first episode of Dragonball Z and Dragonball Kai ever IMO.

It was the same edit as it was on Nicktoons.

[Fishman]

Was the glowing blue bullet on Nicktoons too?

Seriously, because that kind of ridiculous editing is 4Kids' specialty.

[Tsukento]

No, and once again; 4Kids did NOT edit the actual episode. That was an edit supplied by FUNi for said broadcast. If it had truly been 4Kids, the entire gun would have been recolored, rather than just part of it.

Actually wasn't Ocean credited as doing the edits in the Nicktoons version? Couldn't it be them also doing the edits for the 4Kids block?

[SuperSaiyan3Goku]

Wouldn't Funimation be editing the show to 4Kid's standards?

4Kids has no right to edit the show, just air it.

[PuppetDoctor]

Finally, just watched the episode and I was surprised by how little edits there was. The only major edit which has already been mentioned was the gun of the Farmer.

This has nothing to do with the edit of the show but that guy on the surfboard yelling "Toonzai" gets really annoying.

[Cowboy Dev]

Jesuschristwhatthefuck. Worst. Promotional. Ad. EVER.

Aside from the terribly cut audio samples "KAME-HAAAAAAAAAA", absolutely incomprehensible selection of video (Bubbles has the most screentime in this promo), terrible CG Dragon Balls, and just not letting the audience know what the fuck is going on or why they should watch this show, it's an acceptable promo.

Who put this together? They should be fired. This is beyond awful. This is an embarrassment. It's entirely too obvious that whoever put that together has no goddamn clue what they're doing or what the show is about.

Ugh.
I wish Piccolo would hit me with the Masenkopo to end my misery.

Fixed that for ya.
