Dragon Ball Z Kai

Show Summary

The Earth's Greatest Warriors are back in Dragon Ball Kai, an HD Remaster and Recut to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of author Akira Toriyama's hit anime Dragon Ball Z. Using Dragon Ball Z's footage, the series has been remade in high definition and recut, removing most traces of filler for the sake of a faster pacing, sticking closer to the original manga work. Taking place five years after the events of the original Dragon Ball series, Kai covers the later stories of Son Goku, Earth's Greatest Warrior. Having finally settled down and made a family of his own, Goku seems to be adjusting well to the times of peace. However, the peace is short-lived as an intergalactic visitor claiming to be Goku's brother makes a crash landing to the planet. With the fate of entire galaxies at hand, Goku and the rest of the warriors must reunite, confronting progressively stronger foes in the continuous fight between good and evil. Opening Theme: "Dragon Soul" by Kenji Yamamoto (episodes 1-54) Opening Theme: "Yeah! Break! Care Break!" by Kenji Yamamoto (episodes 1-55) "Kororo No Hane" (Wings of Heart) by ABK48 (episodes 55-current)moreless

  • Disappointed.

    7.0

    When I first heard of this remake I was hesitant but exited at the same time. After watching, I must say I was extremely disappointed. I can't get over the original voices I love them too much. I really dislike gohan's new voice. The the most disappointing thing about this is that they pretty much censored everything. yes they got rid of fillers but now the language is filtered. No bloody scenes or any that show alittle more violence. example when cell first appeared, at the stand off with Piccolo, he had a man and it showed him absorbing the man. It was gross but awesome. This scene as well as others like it were cut out. I think I will stick with the original.moreless

  • My Thoughts on DBZ Kai

    6.0
    By Slinkgirl95, Jan 17, 2012
    Being a fan of Dragonball Z since I was a kid, along with my brothers, I started watching Dragonball Z Kai on Cartoon Network (yes, here in New Zealand, it's on Cartoon Network.) and I'd have to say, it isn't terrible but of course it ain't all that good compared to the original Dragonball Z my brothers and I love. So, what is Dragonball Z Kai? Is it the next Dragonball in the series? Is it a re-animated series of the original? No, in fact, it is a remake of Dragonball Z in high definition, no filler but with a few scenes missing. And of course they changed the music. Now, I will talk about the good things and the bad things in this remake.



    First of all, I think it was good that they changed the music. The music in the original always bugged me, I'm sorry but it just did. You know, just because a show about a bunch of guys fighting doesn't mean it has to have rock music in it. I guess it was just my girl instincts. But then the music in this remake does get very old and boring. The opening and ending songs are good, well, the ending song for the Android Saga is annoying. Second thing that is good I guess is the high definition in the show, especially having MySky, it has great definition. The quality of the original was a bit drastic to get past but I will respect it for it's time back then. Also, I guess another good thing is that they removed the filler. However, it does create a bit of an issue in the show. It makes the show seemed rushed or something. But then the Garlic Jr Saga wasn't in the original Manga and shouldn't have happened anyway. Also, it'll be good that they're not doing the Buu Saga since the Buu Saga was not meant to happen.



    Now, the bad things in the show. Why does the singing in the opening KEEP changing? I mean, seriously? First, it'll have deep voices during the opening and then it'll have higher voices during the opening and then it'll just keep changing and changing. It's like they weren't happy with the voices or something. Also, they changed many of the voices for the characters. Gohan's voice has changed but I guess his new voice ain't all that horrible. I do not like Bulma's new voice but I have gotten used to it. I was very disappointed with Frieza's new voice but I got used to it. They also changed Android 18's voice so I was really disappointed with that too. Her voice isn't horrible but it just doesn't suit her. I really hope they don't change Perfect Cell's voice. Aside from changing many voices, they've taken out quite a lot of scenes, for example, in the episode where Dr Gero punches a hole through Yamcha, they actually cut out the part where Dr. Gero punches a hole through Yamcha. Why? And the diolouge is slightly changed. However, it's actually good that they have actual curse words in instead of saying, "Darn" and stuff. Also, I don't really care for the new animation in the opening or endings. Doesn't seem like Dragonball Z anymore. Seems too modern. What they could have done was reanimate the original opening and endings with the original theme song.



    So, anyway, I guess I will end my review here. If you are a big fan of Dragonball Z, you can check out this new version of Dragonball Z. I recommend this version to any Dragonball Z fan.moreless

    Dragon Ball Z Kai is a remake of the original series by Toei Animation and is basically a leaner and meaner tv show with new voice actors and no filler episodes. This show is in every way possible better then the original Z and the Dub is great with Monica Rial taking over as Bulma and Colleen Clinkenbeard as Gohan who fit their roles better while many of the original cast reprise their roles.moreless
