LOL @ "The real Dragon Ball Z"

Like the version that's more faithful to the manga with the better script/voice acting/pacing is somehow inferior. Nostalgia is a helluva drug.

Really looking forward to this, April's gonna be a good month

They'll probably cut all the really funny stuff with Buu and Mr. Satan though like how they cut out the best episode of the series(the Driving one). Also I didn't even like what they did with the dub for the first run of Kai. Replacing Frieza and Gohan was a REALLY bad move. So I'm worried what Funi is going to do this time.

Also the Super Saiyan 3 transformation and Super Spirit Bomb finish without Bruce Faulconer's SSJ3 theme is going to be lame. The music they used in the first Super Saiyan transformation for Kai was very underwhelming. I'm probably going to watch this if it airs on TV over here though just because. I never watched Dragon Ball Z on TV when I was a kid so this is good enough.

.....Chris Ayres is an infinitely superior Frieza compared to Linda Young, I'm surprised people can even be upset at the change, tbh

Doesn't work that way. Z filler isn't like most shonen filler where they create an entire arc that didn't happen--Z filler involves extending existing scenes with lots of stills and power-up scenes. It all happened in the manga, but much faster. Basically the only way to "watch it without filler" is to press fast forward.

Look at you guys, going on a nostalgia trip. I, for one, am excited for this. I just hope they'll remaster the original Dragon Ball series in HD, without fillers, as well. And hopefully, in some years, we'll get a RuroKen HD remake/remaster as well (I know the license is not owned by Toei).

Buu Saga without filler? That sounds amazing, if only the Bruce Faulconer soundtrack was being used for this, seriously, the only part of Kai's soundtrack I liked was the Ginyu Force theme and A Chilling Elegy.

I don't know, people that liked the pacing of the manga and a potential re-worked dub of the Buu saga sounds good. Not many anime get a chance to rework their bad pacing.

The series isn't made with the same quality as the op

Might as well as be called the director's cut.

To be fair the script has also been vastly improved and is more accurate to the manga. At least in the English version

I might care once FUNimation's English Dub is finally available for Buu Saga of DBZ Kai.

Until then though, I'm in no hurry, since I've already read the manga to completion, and also watched the original DBZ anime completely as well (all 291 eps).

It is the director's cut and is specifically referred to as such by Funimation http://youtu.be/lYsF_5G9KL8 . Neither Toei or Funimation has ever referred to Kai as a remake people just jump to that conclusion because of the opening.

Sadly, that means that the OVER 9000 scene was replaced with "over 8000" as that's how it was in the manga.

OMG I'm such a retard. I misread everything. I watched all the Kai episodes and then I realized their isn't a buu saga. I got mixed up with GT. I haven't touched GT.

GT is a sequel so you would have to watch Z or Kai to understand it.

They revamped the script too to be closer to the manga if you paid attention to how Freeza talks, which is the most obvious change.

I know there is a joke somewhere and I am most likely dense, but there are more changes than just 'remove filler'. They revamped the script to be closer to the original anime and manga... and they replaced that shitty faulconer music.

Which is dandy and all, but it is a damn shame that it isn't brand new animation, and seems like they too cheap to waste the budget while is getting the kind of ratings that would make 99% of shows out there jealous

Off of the work they drawn mostly over DECADES ago

I think it's pretty fair to say producing it with brand new animation isn't out of the question, nor would it be unwanted.

In fact, it is a reason why I never bothered with the series Kai.

No... It is a MANDATE that they must remake it

To be honest, if they were to remake it, I prefer it to be a reboot or a new take on the series.

I mean, I wouldn't mind if they manage to keep Goku dead and make the humans and namekians more useful than be relegated to the sidelines whilst it all becomes Saiyan power levels.

From what I've heard they used the old animation to save money/out of respect for the old animators, since some of them are deceased and apparently had lots of love for the series.

Though if that's your reason for not watching you're missing out, tbh. Especially if you wanted a better dub

And that's not all

Krillin was supposed to to kill Vegeta at the end of the Saiyan arc
And Gero/19 were going to remain the main villains of the Android saga
And Gohan was going to be the main character after Cell but Toriyama decided to go back to Goku

Really should have stuck with Gohan. I feel like he diluted the impact of the ending of the Cell Games by bringing Goku back.

A lot people dislike it because it is not as serious as the previous sagas. It is my least favorite saga but I still like it. The Buu saga is a throwback to the wackiness of the original Dragon Ball. Fat Buu is a gag villain like Boss Rabbit. The Buu saga also brought back the fantasy element of Dragon Ball. In DBZ sci fi was beginning to overtake fantasy.
