In Defense of DragonBall Kai

[BlazingFiddlesticks]

I feel as if the Kai dub gave up around the beginning of the Android arc. It didn't become bad, but I just wasn't as excited for it and no performances stood out. That, in turn, really crushed my interest in Kai as a whole.

Problem for me, as a dub fan, is that there was nowhere near as much to improve on in the Android arc. The script was adequate the first time, and the only performances that desperately needed the boost were Vegeta and Piccolo (But oh boy was it worth it).

I'm a dub fan, unfortunately,

You know you can stop. There is help out there for you... if you go to the DVD menu, you can swap the languages. And if you don't understand Japanese? Well, my good man, they thought of that already - accurately transcribed subtitles, written in your native language.

What will they think of next.

Reading while watching anime? What kind of tard would do that?

But seriously, it's not just because the dub is in my native language that makes it the preferable choice; it just sounds better. Dialogue seems to flow much better in English, and the characters seem much more livelier as well.

Of course, I'm saying this as someone who has grown up with the dubs and simply prefers anime speaking his native language.

Probably have this issue too; not that I don't enjoy Japanese, but dialogue often is straight up more wooden.

I'll take Z's pacing

Words that should never be uttered by sentient beings.

It's almost as though that's some kind of... "opinion" or something. *shudder*

There are times where Z's pacing is awesome. There just aren't many.

The last time I tried to watch Z, I seriously fell asleep.

Kai has spoiled me.
