What Should I Do? (Dragon Boxes or Kai)

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

"Almost always" doesn't mean always. And there's not just one "Funimation's dub", as I was saying. There's the one with the censored and cut Saiyan/early Freeza arc, there's the one with those dubbed completely, there's the season set dub with the redone lines, there's the dub without replaced music, there's the edited TV dub... "Funimation's dub" is not a single product.
Then there's the question of what exactly he liked about what he watched, which would definitely play a role in what he should watch. Is he just nostalgic for what he saw on TV and wants that exact product? Does he just want "Dragonball in English"? Did he like the shat-upon Funi script, and wants something with those stains rather than something remotely accurate? Did he watch it with a replaced score and would want that in the version he was buying? Did he watch it with that score but would rather give the real score a try. Is he insistant on particular actors or line deliveries and wants a version with these included?

Of course, I'm just repeating myself here, since I already said all this in that post you ignored most of. Did you even read all of it?

Yes. And I still stand by my point that when someone says "FUNimation's DBZ dub", they are almost always talking about their latest dub of all 291 episodes, present on the Orange Boxes/Dragon Boxes. Nobody really likes the Saban and edited dubs.

That's nice, but again, that's not what the question was. I asked for clarification from DB_Fan1991 regarding which dub he's a "fan" of (which he answered) and what in particular he liked about that dub - voices, music, delivery, script, etc - (which we're still waiting for his answer to) so it'll be possible to assume whether he'll like the Kai dub over the dub present on the Dragonboxes. No one asked for your opinion on what he's likely to answer, and it doesn't add shit to the thread. Can you please stop spamming up the board now?

Also, there's two different dub tracks on the orange boxes, and they both have huge fanbases, so you're not even answering your own question here.

If you prefer to watch DBZ dubbed into english, it would be foolish to buy anything other than Dragon Ball Kai.
The accuracy and quality of the dub, is head and shoulders over the original.

I assume you're talking about dub w/dub score and dub w/original score? Yeah, dub w/dub score is by far more popular than dub w/original score. But the latter still has it's fans.

What I like about the Season/DBox DBZ dub is Shunsuke Kikuchi's score & the voices though I addmit that the script is bad and that most of the delivery in the Ginyu/Freeza sagas are ghastly yet somehow Kikuchi's score makes it worth my time. I do however like Kai's dub better. The reason I am going to get the Dragon Boxes first is because of their limited availability, and awesome video/audio quality and the Dragon Book.

If you're only getting $40 a month, I think you should get "Dragonball Z Kai - Part 1" since the DVD is only $27.99 on Amazon, and the Blu-ray is $29.99.

Kai should likely be around for a while, I suggest getting the Dragon Boxes while you still can.

This. Also, FUNimation probably will release Kai in boxset form later. So there's less risk in waiting for Kai, than the Dragon Boxes.
