I'll start off by saying, I was really looking forward to this release.
As a die hard fan of DBZ i can appreciate the fan service of re-doing the show but i think it is just too different and was made for a new generation of viewers who need dumbed down dialogue and story lines with HD graphics to even appreciate it for what it is.

It is also very simplified so you almost had to have seen the show before to know the whole story.Īll in all this series is still great but I recommend it for those who have never seen the original. They also re-wrote much of that dialogue to streamline the pace of the show but now it is very campy and annoying. It sounds like your friends doing their best-worst impression of these characters. Save for a few characters that hit the mark, Goku and Krillin for example are spot on, if you've ever heard the original voices, this is very distracting. Most of the voices sound radically different than they originally were recorded but you can tell that they tried to make it similar. The original voice actors just don't have it anymore. Having said that, here's what I don't like. So the art and animation looks fantastic and 100% true to the original.Īlso they added in new sound effects and re-recorded all the dialogue using the ORIGINAL voice actors from the US version of the show. Whats great about this series is that they went and re-animated every episode in HD and in 16:9 aspect ratio, They did NOT just upscale the frames to fit like the above poster said, since the original cel frames were discarded. Having watched some of this with the english dub here are my thoughts: This review is from DragonBall Z Kai: Part One This is why I would above all recommend the BluRay release above the dvd set. The only thing that happens when this show is put into 16:9 widescreen is that you lose either the top, bottom or a combination of the two. but with older shows and movies that were filmed or made using 4:3 slides or tape this is impossible.

with current day tv shows and movies this is true.
Many people have a way of thinking that widescreen means you see more. I can only hope that they did as good of a job with the english audio track as they did with the japanese.Īlso about the apsect ratio. They did an absolutely amazing job with the first three episodes that I have seen and I cannot wait to get this set. besides it moving so fast they also fill in the story from dragon ball a bit at the beginning. in this series withing 3 episodes goku is dead and vegeta and nappa are on their way. If you have ever watched dragon ball z you therefore know that they extended fights for episodes sometimes saying five minutes were left and having 5 episodes after that 3 minutes being left. They did an absolutely amazing job with filtering out the filler from the original series. I cannot somment on the english audio as I have only heard the japanese that came with my dvd. This set will not be released until may 18th but it should definitely be an awesome buy. From my experience with the first dragon ball kai release from japan this series is absolutely awesome.
