I just prefer it in English over it's Japanese dubbing, IMO they did a much better job.


surprised to hear that:eek: The American version makes me sick, cant stand the voices or the music haha. DBZ is what got me into anime some 15 year ago, when i first saw it, it was a copied tape with no subtitles. But i was so amazed by the fighting and such i didn't need to know what people were saying, the voice actors had enough emotion to get the point across. The only series i prefer the english version is "Golden Boy" simply because he sound more dorky, yet the keep the emotion from the the Japanese version tact.

This seems kool. but i was hoping for some actual new DBZ episodes, they should bring back cell,like a grown up cell .jr:D

Cell was a bit sh!t imo..

Vegeta, Freiza and Kid Buu were the best :p

Dragon Ball Z is just as different from Dragon Ball as GT is from Z. :rolleyes:

But Z was still from the same manga series written by the same guy (akira toriyama). It may have been different from dragonball but was still very good imo.

Z was still the best series though, Right?

Agreed. Though I can't wait to catch this new series. Fuji TV, right shadow?

I suck at listening/understanding native Japanese talk in their natural speed (which is probably what the entire show will be like), so hopefully I'll be able to understand the jist of it. D:

Might have to ask some questions here and there shadow, so HOLD MY HAND SOME MORE PLEHZ

XD

This version is going to be closer to the manga, meaning, no filler (or hardly any of it) and a faster pace. I for one really would like to see it. They're also probably doing this because this is DBZ's 20th anniversary. Its anime started in April of 1989.

The only thing I'm a bit iffy on, is the fact that they're not going to keep the original opening songs (Head Cha-La/We Gotta Power) and ending songs (Dete koi Tobikiri Zenkai Power/Bokutachi wa Tenshi Datta). I really liked those songs.

IMO, Dragon Ball was. It was more about "skill" as opposed to power. The other characters did more for it. It had a lot of comedy. Goku was just too adorable with his naive nature.

Hmm.. Maybe... DB seemed to have a lot of filler episodes that did my nut in.

Yes i know Z did too, but the whole SSJ thing, wow.

Z bugged me with the way its filler was done. They did the one thing that's always bugged me about any series...extended a canon arc in every way possible. They would either used extremely long speaking scenes or unnecessarily extend the fights or maybe extending a move out. I'd rather put up with an anime original filler arc as opposed putting up with a canon arc being overly extended. Seems that Dragon Ball just had added in original filler. One of my favorite group of eps for Dragon Ball, were the final ones of the Piccolo Jr. saga that dealt with just Goku and Chichi.

It'll be awesome if they will reboot the whole series. But I have a horrible feeling that this thing is another april fool's joke, like the Dragon Ball AF before.
