I can't think of any reason why Toei would be holding them up. It's just less money for them.Maybe the Japanese broadcast of Kai has turned out to be extended and FUNi have to wait for extra months for their release. Or they don't want to saturate the market by releasing the Buu arc twice in a short time.Freeza Soldier #156 wrote:Well, FUNi announced their May releases and Kai is nowhere to be found.

Well wouldn't it be extended? Given this has been following the international version for a while?kei17 wrote:Maybe the Japanese broadcast of Kai has turned out to be extended and FUNi have to wait for extra months for their release.

Won't happen I am doing one out of three of those and that's using yamamotothaman91 wrote:Maybe Funimation thought the green tint was unfit for television and decided to color correct it frame by frame and that's what's causing the delay.
Or maybe they thought 16:9 was just too unacceptable so they're trying to re-sync all the footage with an in-progress 4:3 Level set remaster of the original show.
OR maybe they're replacing the background music and hiring Kenji Yamamoto to re-do it.
My dream release would be all of the above, but we'll probably end up getting 0 out of 3
The Fuji version is probably only going to be 10 episodes less so there won't be any point in releasing it as it's own thing so chances are we're only getting the international version which from the name is made for us and other countries not named Japan.fdsfgs71 wrote:So has it been confirmed that we're only getting the 69 episode run released here and not the Japanese/Fuji TV run?
Ok, that serves no purpose whatsoever. No confirmation or official announcement had been made, but the Fuji TV version serves its purpose in Japan and has no place in the rest of the world. Plus, we're not even sure how different is anyway. So far, it's remained identical for the most part, aside from a few obvious changes regarding OP and EDs.fdsfgs71 wrote:So has it been confirmed that we're only getting the 69 episode run released here and not the Japanese/Fuji TV run? Because knowing Funimation, I can see them releasing the Fuji TV run first, followed later with the International version being released later on as an "uncut" Kai Buu saga release.
Honestly, I really don't know what to expect now. I felt fairly certain that today was going to be the day they finally announced Kai, but it was RoF instead (which is totally awesome by the way).ShaneisMC wrote:As exceptionally well welcomed and ecstatic as it has made me about the new info on the movie, it is certainly also disheartening to still have no news on this front. Given the new information we have to work with, does anyone have a new speculation or guess as to whats up? Fall 2015 perhaps? Whatcha think?
What's with the strike? I did exactly that due to Kai 2.0's slow pacing, one episode a week, piss-poor "remastering," and bad music. I didn't want to wait and I'm glad I didn't.

The American airing of The Final Chapter probably got delayed several times, due to Nicktoons passing on it (for whatever reason) and Vortexx shutting down. As it stands, the only way it's probably going to air now is once the Toonami airing finishes the first Kai, which will be in roughly two years from now.SpiritBombTriumphant wrote:What's with the strike?

Also, I'm not too "into the loop" on Kai 2.0 and whatnot but everyone here is talking about FUNimation releasing it... What about airing it? And why hasn't it aired yet at all? I kind of figured that it would be aired then released on BD like normal shows...
The most likely reason it hasn't aired yet is because Nicktoons evidently decided to drop Kai for some reason, which left it without a network to air on, until Adult Swim picked up the uncut version for Toonami...but they started from episode 1, so (unless they decide to skip way ahead) it'll be a couple of years before they even get to the end of the original run of Kai, let alone The Final Chapters.SpiritBombTriumphant wrote:Also, I'm not too "into the loop" on Kai 2.0 and whatnot but everyone here is talking about FUNimation releasing it...

If you watch Japanese... well ok i might see how you could have that opinion. If you watch english.... dude the script and voice acting is LIGHT YEARS ahead of what it was in the original anime. Original english Z compared to Kai is absolutely atrocious. Honestly even without comparing it to anything its not particularly good. Now its fantastic and i absolutely cant wait to see how well they update their performances for this final arc of the story. As for everything else. Slow pacing? I dont understand where you are coming from on that stance? It still has over 20 episodes of material shaved off the original. TV Broadcasting schedule has no relevance to the quality of the material. The remastering while yes I understand how it could have been handled better I dont believe its fair to compare what we have seen from what I assume to be standard definition tv broadcast quality versus a Funimation Blu Ray copy. On that note we'll just have to wait and see how its handled. As for the music..... well yeah I half way agree with you. Some of it really isnt the best by any stretch. Though that being said there are genuinely some tracks that i really do actually like quite a bit. But yeah end of the day, if its for english dub fans, without question Kai is bound to be the better product. I literally cant watch the original anymore. Its just embarrassing. Those lines and acting man...... ughhhhSpiritBombTriumphant wrote:What's with the strike? I did exactly that due to Kai 2.0's slow pacing, one episode a week, piss-poor "remastering," and bad music.
