ImmaKrillin started his Boo Kai arc but all I've seen was NEP 99 from his version, on the other hand, OzzyApu shared his custom Majin Boo Kai arc with me and I really liked it a lot.
Too bad it ended so early, 40 mins eps would be better.

Who's OzzyApu? Because I wouldn't mind collabing together a Buu Arc

I'm Ozzy. I don't know how much of a collaboration is in order since I've already completed all the editing. I just have less than 10 episodes to re-time subtitles for (I watch Japanese with Eng subs). Legitimately, it isn't a Kai version since all I'm doing is cutting out most of the filler and scenes I find drag on and whatnot while also somewhat making the language more natural. No actual scene restoration, voice overs (if I could get the voice actors in my room to redo the voices, then I would), and I have no budget to work with. Basically me and windows live movie maker trimming the hell out of things.
... and there have been LOTS of cuts. I can give you a sample episode if you want.

If it's Japanese with English subtitles, I'd like to see too.

Yes it's Japanese with Eng subs. But it's not as high-tech as you think. It's just me with Windows Live Movie Maker cutting out what I think is bad / filler I don't think is necessary and then re-timing the subs (with some changes). No MAJOR changes. If you're still interested send me a pm and I'll give the rundown and a sample episode. Prepare for an info dump, though, to let you know why I am doing it and what type of changes to expect.

I think Toei should just cram the Buu arc into a movie. I know that'd be hard but if they went by the manga they could definetly pull it off into a hour 20 minutes, if they went directly by the manga.

A 20min OVA/Film? That's not enough, 40/60 would be a fair amount and all Boo stuff would be kept as needed.
Sometimes' fillers quite boring but with Majin Boo, it was pretty damn interesting and funny to watch all of it.

He said an hour and 20 minutes, not 20 minutes.
I'd probably be thinking more along the lines of 4 hours and the movies split into 2 parts.

Wow if the Buu saga was a 20 minute movie that would be the fastest saga in Dragonball history.

I won't mind if Funimation tries to make a Kai version of the Buu saga happen since we could get a good dub of the Buu saga for once. I doubt it's going to be like Futurama that the DVD sales help the studio create new episodes. I don't think the DVD sales for Kai in Japan have been that great neither?

To be honest, what people really want is just a FUNimation redub of the Boo arc in the style of Kai, right?

It seems like it's only the English audience that wants a redub of DBZ's Majin Boo arc. It's all right, not at FUNi Kai style, but fair enough.
One particular scene I'd like to see redubbed in Boo's arc's where Ultimate Gohan insults Majin Boo by calling him an idiot/retard/simpleton, because "Hi, nice day" is just WTF are they shocked about?

Yep, they can re-do DB/Z/GT and Movies with FUNi's new cast like Chris as Freeza and Andrew as Coola. IMO, they can dub the Son Goku and Friends, RB2 remake, and episode of Bardock as well. I wanted Ayres to voice Chilled IMO. IDK who will voice Abo and Kado as well as Tarble and Gure maybe Cook or Sabat can voice him.

Well I think a redub of DBZ would be great.
(Especially if a certain block returns in 3 weeks atleast, if Adult Swim's 4/26 schedule means something)

The schedule only goes to may 20th, it'd be cool for Toonami to return or any action block for that matter.
But I just think they're airing anime during adult swim's airing time (8PM-5AM Central Time). But I am curious what the "blank space" slots are for, can't be a block as it's scattered. Doh, now I'm curious and excited at the same time.

They aren't scattered, Adult Swim always reairs their shows. They just reair the whole set over again. So, it's three new anime, plus a few older ones. That would be enough for a Toonami block, but it might be too soon for that...and I'd love a Buu Saga for DBZ Kai.
RIDER KIIIIIIICK!

Toei Animation wrapped up Dragon Ball Kai with Cell's arc and it doesn't look like they'll of doing a Boo arc.
Unless it's under a different Dragon Ball title. Manga to anime.

I'm not really a big fan of Kai, but I'd rather the Boo Saga just be left alone.

Kai boosted Orange Brick sales? What the HFIL?
But I'm going to chock it up (as other's have) to availability more than anything else.
Kai was briefly in Walmart and I think maybe Target as well and certainly at Best Buy but the Orange Bricks were at all those places and more and sold for far cheaper than the 13 episode sets much less the 26 episode first full season set which didn't seem to stick around long in stores.
If anyone should be interested in funding a US exclusive Kai Buu Saga, it's Viacom. But they're probably more than content simply running GT for now. FUNimation's sales sure don't warrant it and neither do Toei's. It's really too bad.
A redub of Buu Saga with more accurate scripts and the Kai cast would be nice to see and might even be the precursor to a full redub of the series but that really would only delight the sector of fans who enjoy dubs but felt DBZ's dub was not good. Japanese fans are already good with the Dragon Box and the majority of dub fans don't seem to want a redub because doing so makes it not the DBZ they love anymore.
Really all I want from FUNimation is a re-release of the Dragon Box so I can keep collecting the show with that quality footage. But as I don't have box 4 I'm pretty much screwed unless they re-release it.

I think All Funimation has to do is Redub the Buu Saga without any alterations (With the Kikuchi Score).Then air it on Nicktoons and call it "DBZKai The Lost Episodes"
No remastering, no recuts. Just the Boo Saga in its entirety. It may have too much filler, but it was still such a fun saga that you dont really mind.
