Well, Kaio actually does look like a goofy blue catfish so he was being serious there.Gaffer Tape wrote:See, the beauty of that is I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not because both those things are equally true and untrue.
Yeah, but I think the "granny" part sort of gave it away.Gaffer Tape wrote:Yeah, and Freeza looks like he could be a transvestitic man-lover. That's why I posited he could have been playing that post completely straight rather than sarcastic.
Really? I see him as more of a flamboyant alien than a chain-smoking granny.Gaffer Tape wrote:I think he could pass as a granny too. As was once said on an episode of the podcast, "Some voices (a la Linda Young) fit the design (chain-smoking granny) but not the character."
Yeah, especially when he's in his hover chair.Gaffer Tape wrote:Well, based on the character mixed with the design, I see him as a dainty-seeming aristocratic alien with a streak of badassness.
But based on the design alone (first form at least), I could very easily see him as a chain-smoking granny... alien.
All the more reason to assume that Kai will be anywhere from the 100 to 130 range. I just don't see them incorporating all the stuff that's ahead into 50 eps.LeprikanGT wrote:Is it just me or are other people REALLy worried that they are past episode 50 out 100 and still on Freeza?
I know garlic Jr, Great Saiyaman, and the Other World Tourny were filler but all the android, cell, and Buu/Fusion/Kid buu sagas seem like they would take awhile to get through, Id have guessed by now we would be well into the androids fighting.
They don't seem to realize that, according to the manga, the Saiyan and Freeza arcs together make up almost half the manga.LeprikanGT wrote:Is it just me or are other people REALLy worried that they are past episode 50 out 100 and still on Freeza?

Wait, what? They left stuff out of the anime? I haven't read that part of the manga yet, so could you elaborate on how they handled that?Gaffer Tape wrote:Great Saiyaman isn't all filler, and a lot of the canonical parts of that weren't even retained, so they're going to be in a bit of a pinch when they get to that area. Either some serious reanimating is going to be going on, or expect Videl to find out Great Saiyaman is Gohan by having him yell his name at a dinosaur.
I'm usually pro-illegal downloading anime (or anything else for that matter) but I might actually buy the funi DB Kai English dub dvds. That's only if it comes with special features. And I mean REAL special features, no "behind the scenes" bullcrap. I want the new voice actors to add commentary to some of the main important episode. Funi won't do it, but if they did I'll buy it in a heart beat.obiwan23s wrote:Those of us who have been following the Z dub since the beginning have been waiting for something like this for a while. We've had a minor taste of what good script writing can be like from some of the video games but if FUNi doesn't screw this up, I'll probably buy all of Kai from them. Which is a stark contrast from my position about a month ago when I said I wouldn't give Kai a chance because I already got what I wanted with the DBox release.
Yeah, I'm also for adding commentary as a special feature. The commentary for movie 1 on the double feature was hilarious.Scarz wrote: I'm usually pro-illegal downloading anime (or anything else for that matter) but I might actually buy the funi DB Kai English dub dvds.

Yeah, Amigo Ten pretty much answered this for me. I shouldn't have said "a lot" since there really wasn't a lot to begin with. But, yeah, basically they replaced Great Saiyaman and Videl's one canonical adventure with several new ones in order to give Great Saiyaman a bit more to do. I actually much prefer the anime version, as in the manga, there was all this setup for Gohan to become Great Saiyaman, and then it falls falt immediately. Plus, I just love seeing Gohan go to high school for a while. I wouldn't have minded if this had gone on for several more episodes, honestly.Amigo Ten wrote:Not left out, so much as changed. It's also a hell of a lot shorter. The only two acts of heroism Saiyaman does in the manga is the bit just after he gets his costume where he gets mad at the guys laughing at his name, and catching those two car thieves with Videl (the big guy with the eyepatch and the little one). That's when she figures him out, by calling him Gohan and he answers normally. It's literally 2 or 3 chapters.
But she figures out who he is differently in the anime, so they'll have to work with what they've got.
I doubt that they'll have the "sama" honorific, since they didn't for Kami, and there's really no need for it anyway--it's only a honorific, despite how it's generally written out that way as if it's part of their actual name.Daimo-Rukiri wrote:Still, it shows signs that it'll be better than the original dub.
I'm hoping for Genkai Dama instead of Spirit Bomb! and Kaiosama instead of king Kai, the list goes on!
