Convolvolus said: What an awesome way to finish things off :) At what episode do I start watching the original to pick up where Kai left off??  Episode 194 in the original Japanese version of Dragon Ball Z. |
| I hope they make Buu saga but with a new animation |
| Honestly I liked the English dub version voice actors much better than the original Japanese ones... This is the only anime where I can say this, but I guess growing up watching DBZ in English just feels more natural than hearing it in Japanese now. All in all, DB is an epic anime and Kai did a good job bringing it all together concisely, but the slow fight pacing still kills me every time. I think I'll have to go back and watch the English version of Gohan reaching ss2, cause Kai didn't do it justice :(. |

| 3/5 nothing to love or enjoy, just ok |
| I really enjoyed watching Dragon Ball Kai! I finished it on April 20 this year. I loved to see it again as I loved Dragon Ball Z as a kid, and I still do! Too bad they didn't made the Buu Saga though ^_^ I just saw episode 98, the episode which wasn't aired because of the earthquake. It was released on August 2 on Blu-Ray. I don't see it on MAL though .. |

| Someone update the series, it's 98 episodes. |

| Well this was the first time watching DB for me and i thoroughly enjoyed it, even though the shouting is too much xD I saw how much other anime has copied off of this :\ Goku :( Wonder if i should watch this Buu Saga, hmm.. 8/10 |
| Loved it! Some really nostalgic feelings towards the adventures of Son Goku and his friends)). Once again, I'm gonna miss them. =) DOKKAN! DOKKAN! |
 |
| Well, Gohan is a very good student. |
| Signature removed. See your messages for more information. |
| This is the first Dragon Ball I've ever finished and I really like it!!! |

| 18 so tsundere. Overall, fantastic adaption for what they had to work with. Not an FMA:Brotherhood level remake but still very good. It's better than nothing either way. Personally I felt that Kai was much better than the original DBZ. There are only two things I miss about the original DBZ. Firstly, I miss the Bruce Faulconer soundtrack. It was part of my childhood, nothing left to say really. Secondly, there are a few filler episodes/arcs that I miss like the other world tournament (I know it's part of the Great Saiyaman saga but it almost certainly won't be included when they release the rest of the sagas). All in all, I'm pretty fuckin' stoked for Buu saga, whenever that's released. Vince said: 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. Wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation You can see the above theory in effect in a more recent anime called Steins;Gate. |

| Toei Animation is so retarded, they should have completely reanimated it instead of upscaling the whole thing |
| Freaking awesome! The nostalgia! |
 |
| LOL at Shenron, what a lack of patience! Looking forward to watching Kai 2014 when I get back home in a few month. |
| Not happy that they skipped Trunk's cannon episodes and cutting most of the awesome fillers that add some favor and humor to otherwise dry repetitive overall story arc. But still pretty good. Really an easy watch, just plain fighting and characters being badasses. 8/10 ^_^ well, off to buu saga....not looking forward to it but gotta finish the whole story. |

| Man, that was epic! Now I was thinking to watch Buu saga, but I guess another time! |
| Great closure of not only this arc but also just in general for this first part of the various DBZ arcs if you ask me. This Kai version really did improve quite a bit especially on pacing while still remaining with the base story of what is Dragon Ball. Really love the Cell Arc so I find it quite nice how they finished this with the Cell Arc and split it up for the last DBZ arc(s) to be put on another "season". All in all I really had a very enjoyable recap watch if I can say it like that in running up to watching Dragonball Super! |

| little summarise for the episode: - vegeta promise he won't fight again, probably to not let his pride crashed again, we will see about it. - goku accepts death. - kuririn asks for #18 to be human, since it's impossible, he asks only to remove their bombs. - mirai trunks going back to the future. the only thing trouble me is that if chichi really get hold of goten, how goku leaved her that way? it seems that really toriyama didn't want to continue. either than that, perfect ending. now about the first dbk, there's some points that really didn't get the impact as dbz, but dbk sure made sure to let the important parts to shine, really great remake of bdz. 9/10 |
| Even though the Kai series was a step down for me personally ... I just love the Dragon Ball series so much! As for why it was a step down;
The one thing that I think was a great improvement was the voice acting, the delivery was a lot better. I wasn't a fan of some of the new VA's like Gohan or Tien but after a while I got used to it, I actually think the new VA for Freeza did a fantastic job. - Gohan's VA stepped up too. One weird thing I noticed was that "Destructo Disc" is translated to Kienzan in the Freeza Saga but in the Cell sage it's back to Destructo Disc To summarize, if you're an old fan of Dragon Ball Z and want to relive the nostalgia, you're missing out on way too much compared to the older series, even if it's double the length in episodes. - Meaning you should definitely watch Z. If you're a new fan or can't afford to watch almost 300 episodes Kai should be fine for you as it does what it was advertised as, just don't expect to resonate with the fans of Z as it's a completely different experience. |
 |
| A great ending ! Can't wait to see where it goes from here ! |
| ye it's way too overhyped it was good but that's it also whys Goku such a dumbass why does he allow his opponents to heal and stuff |
 |
| what a nostalgia rush rewatching, defo prefer Z for a number of reasons but glad we have this alternate way to revisit it! |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
