I've been watching Toonzai/Vortexx's version of DBZKai.

[Cure Dragon 255]

And....Its frankly not that bad.

Yeah. There's the infamous Blue Popo, Halo Balls and Magic Sparkle Explosions and certain toned dialogue. But I realized something, these are 10 second edits in a 18 minute episode. Its not that bad. I know these edits are ridiculous and all, and it must be hard to see the show being edited in any way but I feel the exposure and most importantly the happiness of kids who cant see DBZKai via ways other than Vortexx makes the edits worth it.

Oh and there's uncut DVD's so there isnt really much of a problem with getting an uncut alternative. However I AM worried for Digimon Fusion...

[Gonstead]

Don't forget no Shenron in the opening :l

[Cure Dragon 255]

Again, 2 second edit and you can see him in all his uncut glory in the uncut DVD's.

But yeah. Pretty Stupid.

That's a good attitude to have. Yes, it's edited more than the Nicktoons version but still, it's not as bad as what we got in 1997.

I'd have to disagree. While both are edited to an extent, the Toonzai/Vortexx version edits out far more than what the original dub did.

At least the Toonzai/Vortexx/Nicktoons edits are still faithful adaptations of the source material, though they are heavily edited for content, they're still an improvement over the Saban airings from 1996-1997. The initial run of DBZ of US TV had entire scenes and episodes removed, spliced, rearranged, and let's not forget the replaced music and completely re-written dialogue.

Anyone who feels the Vortexx/Toonzai edit cuts more content, needs to actually go back and watch the 1996-1997 version. Kids watching Kai nowadays have it much better.

Theoriginalbilis pretty much said what I would have said here. The original 1997 dub cut out far more stuff. They cut whole episodes, omitting characters and backstories. There was so much stuff cut out that the episode numbers didn't match up to the original Japanese episode numbers.

Basically what they did back then was use just use the original Japanese episodes as source footage to create their own DBZ episodes however they saw fit. At the time this is how Saban was doing Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and to a lesser extent Sailor Moon. It was fairly common practice back then. And we didn't have an uncut home release of the series. This was it! That was the only way we could watch DBZ in English. Now get off my lawn, and I'm keeping your Frisbee!

Absolutely. It would be infuriating if it was the only version that we had access to, but since it's just an unfortunate necessity (due to cable rules) with an uncut version readily available, I don't mind at all.

That. I barely noticed Nicktoons edits (Though obviously the most lenient of the three) back when they aired it because I was too busy being distracted by the Yammamoto score and vastly better script. Like I should be.

[Cure Dragon 255]

That's awesome! I hope kids are enjoying DBZ Kai on Vortexx!
