Finaly something on Nick that is not stupid, or painful to watch.

Wow...man.
I thought it would be on Disney XD.
Actually, hoped.
My little bros could then watch Kai right after a good Shippuden. :)

I thought it would be on Disney XD also. I don't watch Nickelodeon in a long time since I only watch it for Nick at Night since most of the cartoons now sucked. I rather have it on Cartoon Network or the Funimation Channel though.

I have been waiting for something like this to happen, since I have no plans of buying ANY of the Kai DVDs, since most of my money is going to the Dragonbox sets. :twisted: And I have this channel on cable (yahoo!) and we also have Digital Cable, so I will definitely be checking the listings for this.

I guess Cartoon Network really did lose the license to Dragonball, huh? :P
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

Fan of Dragon Ball Z and various other Anime since '98! ^^

I don't watch TV that much anymore other then FMA: Brotherhood, and re-runs of shows on Nick at Night and Adult Swim. I will buy DBkai on DVD when it comes out, and maybe Blu Ray too.

Nelvana and FUNimation handle each other's cross-border distributions, while Corus owns Nelvana and Canadian liscencing of all things Nickelodeon (even making YTV nothing but a whore of Nick shows). There's so many arguments for one of Corus' stations airing it:

YTV: Home of all things DB in the past, current home of all things Nick in Canada.
Nick Canada: A digital-only Nick station
Teletoon: Home of all things Nelvana.

I wouldn't be surprised if it showed up on all three stations. It's perfect for Teletoon's Action Force and Superfan Friday blocks, perfect for YTV's Saturday anime and Nickelodeon Sunday blocks, while being a digi-Nick show means it's great for Nick Canada. In fact, being an older show would attract its fans to subscribe to Nick Canada (currently, Nick Canada is like 50% oldschool Nick cartoons).

I could give you a long list of shows that aired on Nick only today that are worth watching.


In fact, Nick is the only one of the three big Kids networks (Nick, Disney, CN) that I'm not incredibly disappointed with (A little disappointed, but not much).

I'll just go ahead and give you one: Avatar. (Sorry, just got done marathon-ing the series, so I have to mention it!) But the fact that Nick has a show like that under its belt gives me some hope for Kai's dub. I mean, not that I care since I don't have that channel and don't really care about Kai, but I still want the show to be taken care of properly. :D

Well, he concluded with "That is all..." so I guess he doesn't plan to elaborate. ^_~

I'm still curious as to his reasoning, but I suppose you are right.

Hehe, sorry. I just felt the need to pick that out. I'm curious too.

He may be disgusting in the fact that they are airing a kids cartoon show on a kids cartoon channel....but that would just show he put no thought into that comment.

Oh. Great.

A censored script. Again.

-_-

Let's hope the home releases keep the real script intact.

Dragon Ball Kai? Uncut and unedited?

Blood and swearing for one thing. Hell, maybe we'll see the return of The Next Dimension.

I wouldn't have a problem if there was no swearing but please FUNi, don't edit out blood.
