Definitely going to have to dig out and re-watch my old Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z DVDs to get reacquainted. Nostalgia-fest here I come!

Kai has a better english dub and has way less filler.
Either or, but Z's filler is incredibly monotonous to sit through, hence why I generally prefer Kai.

I wonder how it would be...
Dragonball Z Kai is not that good tho I didnt continue it after I've watched 12 episodes..
Still.. I hope this would be great remake
Screw Kai and go with DBZ. YES it has filler but imo it ADDS to the story. At least for the most part anyway. Soundtrack is just SOOOO much better too. Better voice acting imo.
The original experience is the best. Then again. Thats how I seen it back in the 90's and times after that. If I saw Kai first then MAYBE I'd like that better.
If your watching the dub for kai then just watch DBZ. Its the best version. Dunno bout sub though. Soundtrack is old school. Not feeling it all too much but I'd sayu it sounds better than Kai. WAY better.

holy fuck...
I mean, I'm excited, but... is this really a good idea? I feel as if the Dragon Ball style simply won't hold up now as it did back then. Don't most people nowadays only rate DBZ highly due to nostalgia? Can't say I've seen a single person who watched DBZ after already being fairly familiar with the anime medium and actually loved it.
I won't be watching this until it's dubbed anyway.
I've just started watching DBZ as well as watched some of the movies and I love it, I did play some of the games when I was younger but never remembered to much from them so DBZ is still pretty fresh to be and I'm enjoying it a lot.

It's not a remake. It's a whole new series taking place after the Buu saga. What didn't you like about Dragon Ball Kai out of curiosity. Because it's literally Dragon Ball Z minus all the filler, unless you didn't like Z to begin with which would make sense.
@DrGeroCreation He was technically threatening Earth once they fucked up his wish. Freeza literally said once he was done on Namek he was going straight to Earth. You are right about the rest though.

popularity does not equal quality.
I agree.
Honestly, I found DBZ to be -incredibly- monotonous.
It can be summed up like:
Frieza arc: "A new threat to destroy earth? And he's even a bigger threat than the Saiyans OMG"
"
Majinn Buu arc: "A new new new threat to destroy earth! And, you guessed it, he's stronger and therefore a larger threat than all 3 of the Saiyans, Freiza, and Cell!! :o"
Majin Buu was a threat to the universe and other world not just earth.
You obviously don't know what you are talking about.

Regardless to say I was ecstatic when it was confirmed official. Toriyama is also overseeing the series and has already given the plot so we won't have another GT (hopefully).
I'm also really happy we're getting it so soon and don't have to wait till 2017 or something.
