Anyone not buying Kai?

[dbboxkaifan]

I bought the Part 1 Blu-ray last year at the end of May... come to think of it, that was the first Dragon Ball thing I ever actually owned. Time passed and the whole music scandal stuff happened, but I forgot to and didn't have the funds to get the other 3 parts with Yamamoto. Luckily I managed to snatch up Part 2 with Yamamoto some months ago from Rightstuf for a reasonable price (still have yet to watch my part 2 Blu-ray...), but yeah, I'm still buying it. Eventually I will, anyway.
I'd really like to have what is avaible in Yamamoto with that score [on blu-ray], but if not... I guess I'll just get the Season 2 release in July. I'm almost kinda hoping FUNi makes a mistake with this set too Although that'd be bad as well

DBZKS1+2 have been confirmed to have the replacement soundtrack.

Yeah, I know they have the Kikuchi score now... I just wish the Yamamoto blurays weren't so hard to find :S (The Walmart dvds with Yamamoto on the other hand, they've always been easier to find for me, but I haven't seen them lately.)

I will only buy it if there is an Ocean release of it otherwise no, I will not buy it.

Just kind of curious. Are there any people out there who are not buying Kai on DVD/Blu-ray for reasons OTHER THAN watching it online or downloading it.

Firstly, the replacement score is horrible, and secondly, I wanted the Buu saga.

[Rukura]

I will most certainly not buy it.

I just have no interest in such a half-assed product (, music debacle and series continuity issues aside).

[DBfan4life]

Well, I already have them with the yammamoto (not sure if I spelled his name right) score up to the Freeza saga which is all I really need. Not sure if I will pick up the rest all the way until the end of cell.

I'm not for the same reason I did not get the bricks. I don't like the change is voices. And I don't watch in Japanese 99% of the time so I see no point. Sure is more like the manga then the old version was but that's what I have the manga for.

Wait so if you buy Kai you don't get the original score that it aired with? That's too lame.

He does have a point, the replacement soundtrack is too easy and noticeable to be far too repetitive, but I'm okay with it since I love the DBZ original soundtrack.

It's just a shame how repetitive it is in Kai.

Isn't most of it from the movie soundtracks? But yeah comparing part 5 and 6 replacement score with the original score just shows how bad the replacement music was placed. The music director or whatever should never work with dragonball again in my opinion.

[dbboxkaifan]

It wasn't just his fault, he was given a small amount of BGMs to work with, so either Toei Animation or Shueisha are to blame.

I dunno why they didn't used the remastered Kikuchi tracks from Raging Blast / Ultimate Blast.

They're not "remastered". They were synthesized just not to pay much for using the original source. Personally I dislike the synthesized tracks because they sound quite cheap and the arranger screwed up many melodies.
