well shenlong is still as awesome as ever. always getting neglected too...poor guy.

i wouldn't mind if they redid the rest of it. although i think the should have animated the entire thing not just parts.

So Dragon Ball Kai ended today... overall I'd say it was a pretty messy adaption. It really should have been a remake using the animation from the OP. Also as a true "Toriyama cut", it should have had all of the canon DBZ sagas. But oh well, I guess it just wasn't making enough money to keep around.

after all that buildup of having gohan replace goku as the hero, they should make a sequel to this anime that continues in that direction. now that would be epic.

there's no way that the buu saga won't be remade, sure Toriko has taken over the time slot, but with the rating they got for Kai from start to finish it would be silly not to finish it...

Poor viewership, plus the controversy with the musical score copyright issues, made that impossible.

I'm not too concerned about the Buu arcs, they're mostly filler anyway.

Ratings don't matter... merchandise sales do. Like with most tv programs, you actually pay to get it aired. Its essentially a commercial companies use for the merchandise, like dvds, posters, figurines, etc. The merchandise has dried up for Dragon Ball, so there was no reason to keep it going.

Yeah I'm a little disappointed they had to cut that episode out. Damn earthquake! Although this episode certainly finishes off the series a lot better than 98 would have, which feels more like a side story anyway.

Well it was a fun ride~ Guess it's time I finally get to watching all of the first Dragon Ball series.

They really ended it quite well although it would have been better if it had continued on to the Buu Saga.

Maybe I should start watching DBZ from the start of the Buu Saga. :P

I'm kinda skeptical about it after the synopsis talking about him being a chef and cooking and stuff. Maybe it'll be good and I'll give it a shot, but it doesn't sound very good to me

Well, there were no surprises but it was nice to see this series again and reminisce about the good old days^^. As now I think about it it was even better, without fillterów, they always irritate me. It is a pity that there is no Buu saga.

I know dude, first time I heard my friend tell me about it I thought it sounded crappy. But his judgement never lets me down: now I'm looking forward to the manga every week and I've been waiting for the anime forever.

Dragon Ball Kai - awesome. Fun to watch without all the fillers. Too bad they're not gonna redo Majin Buu but thus is life. 10/10 =D

DB Kai was like a dream coming true for me.
im thankful that they made this remake

a DBZ like the manga

no god damn filler
no exaggeration of the episodes

but the end of trunks killing androids and cell in his time missing
and most of all no buu saga
the dream half shattered.

but i'll take it like goku:

"Oh well"

It's really sad that they didn't animate that scene where Trunks killed the androids and Cell :x

Oh well, it ended! It was really good. Dragon Ball Z without fillers is so damn good. I do hope they animate the Buu Saga. It's my favourite one!

And now I'm anxious to see Toriko xD It seems very good.

We need a special Dragon Ball ep where Goku and Vegeta get a full planet for themselves to fight it out
Cell's fights weren't as good as Freeza's because Goku and co. had to focus on keeping their attacks from destroying Earth.

Despite knowing the ending, touch me. OST fantastic, especially when Goku says that he doesn't want to be resuscitated. And it was good to see moments of the Classic in this episode.

I hope one day, they do the buu saga.

For Toriko, the anime did not interest me much. I'll just see if it has good feedback and when he has more episodes.

I hate when shows end. Because I always want them to continue!!

People mentioned the OP X Toriko thing...can someone explain what that is? Is it a one-shot episode or something?
I saw the promo for it at the end of DBK...and I'm confused.
They don't really have anything about it on MAL...

Am I the only one that found the scene where Chi-Chi is crying while "Dragon Soul" plays in the background unintentionally hilarious? I mean, isn't that song a little too happy sounding for that particular moment?

Yeah, basically, the first episode of Toriko will be a one-shot crossover between Toriko and One Piece. I guess Toei really wants to make sure that every One Piece fan out there also watches their new show (or at least the first episode).

That's beacause there were supposed to be 98 episodes, but due to the earthquake and tsunami one episode was cut out.

Gohan +1 in beast.

Would be nice if they did the Buu saga. But I don't think I can stand watching Gohan go from beast to failboat Sayaman, to beast again, to shit food.

This actually ended at the right time, as Akira Yoriyama wanted to end his story directly after the Cell saga, leaving Gohan as Goku's replacement and the planet at peace from any threats connected to the gang.
The Gohan at highschool, Tornement and Buu saga was a result of; masses of fans, high anime and manga sales and both companies wanting to continue raking in the cash.

I'm glad Akira's true story has been told, as much as I loved Goten and Trunks as kids, we still have the Z serise if we get nostalgic.


*The Toriko/One Piece crossover is a little odd; shameless promotion of a new serise, yet I'll watch*

One thing that always irked me about the original (and I definitely thought they might change it in this new remake, but I was proven wrong) was the fact that Trunks had to go back to his time and fight the Androids.

Obviously, there's no such thing as time travel, but in theory, since the past was altered, so should the future, and Trunks would return to a time that would be parallel to the time he left. Meaning no Androids or Cell.

But eh. Oh well.

It was explained that Trunk's timeline is different. Kinda like an alternative universe. So, it doesn't matter if they defeat the androids in their timeline, it won't affect Trunk's future.

Anyway, I really liked to see Dragon Ball again without fillers.
