Were u watch it

where’d u watch it

@@jaykay3119 i watched all of naruto on that website and use it whenever i wanna go back to rewatch any cartoon or anime

WHERE IS IT!?!......oh it’s on dvd.....for $100.....so that’s why it’s nowhere else....greedy arses.

It also has better dialogue. For the Buu saga though they changed alot of the dialogue that was actually good in the original DBZ.

What’s the unscensored version

@@El3ctr0Lun4 actually that's not quite true, even the uncensored version of kai is censored to some extent (when compared to Z). Much if the blood throughout all of Kai is coloured black instead of red (not all, but it does happen)

@@karebushmarebu233 Yes you're right. Some minor changes, which include removing the middle finger sign from a few scenes, but a lot of the blood is still there. And as I said, the Raditz episodes are censored (black blood like you say). That aside, the animation is much cleaner, the pacing so much better, mostly no filler, and the story follows the manga much better.

@@El3ctr0Lun4 yeah Kai and Z both have up and downsides. For instance for me, the BF soundtrack for the Z dub is an integral part of the show, and Kai doesn't feel the same without it, Kai does have a more "accurate" translation for the most part, but sometimes it's more accurate in a literal sense while being less accurate in terms of conveying the intended emotioal effect. For instance some lines are translated much more directly, the problem this brings up tho is that certian lines said in Japanese have a certian impact to a Japanese speaker because of the cultural connotations around certian phrases, but when translated directly into English in a literal sense it looses its intended meaning even though the words themselves are more close to the English equivalents than the Z translation I can't remeber a specific example right now, but just as a parallel I'll use Chinese (Manderin) to English translation as an example since I'm more familiar with those languages 你吃了吗 is a Common Chinese phrase, 你 is you, 吃 is eat, 了 is a completion marker and 吗 turns the whole thing Into a yes or no question. So when translated directly into English it means something along the lines of "have you eaten?" Or "Have you ate yet?" The problem with this translation is that in English it seems like you are genuinly being asked if you have had any food today, but this phrase is actually just used as a greeting in Chinese. Its similiar to asking "how you doing?" When first seeing someone, you're not actually asking how they are doing, you are just saying "hello". So using this example, you can see why Kais translation, even though it is more accurate, sometimes falls short becuase it translates certian passages very literally and In doing so looses its orginal meaning. I think this is why some think certian lines sound more "badasa" in the Z version, since they more accurately convey the intended emotion as oppossed to the intended words. That being said, Kais translation is generally done better, for the most part. The pacing is a lot better aswell, as someone who's read the manga tho I enjoy the orginal anime as it's different enough from the manga to make it feel worth watching, with Kai I'd rather just read the manga as it's so similiar. But yeah I can understand why a lot kf people like Kai, I personally think the best experience would be if someone edited the two shows together. Keep most of the pacing of Kai, but keep some of the better filler episodes from Z like kid Gohams development, keep the soundtrack from Z dub, cleaner animation from Kai, and possibley a mix of the two translations (mainly kai but with a smidgen of Z at the most "epic" or "emotional" parts). The mixed translation thing might now work thigh cause of differing audio quality, eh it'll never happen anyways, just a pipe dream :)

@@karebushmarebu233 I'm not too attached to the Bruce Faulconer soundtrack. I grew up watching the original Dragon Ball series, with all the original Japanese music, but dubbed in my native language - Romanian. Later on I watched DBZ Saiyan and Frieza sagas on a German TV channel, so the show was dubbed in German with the original JP music, and soon after it was aired on Cartoon Netwoork in English, which had the Faulconer music. I doubt that Kai translates things word for word - normally when you dub or subtitle any movie or TV show, you do a translation and adaptation. The Funimation version of DBZ however had written an fully new script, changing the motivations and even backgrounds of some characters, Goku is portrayed as a saviour and protector of life (much like Superman) rather than a guy who likes to fight. The point of the KAI dub was that it respected the original script, while still translating and adapting the dialogue.

Why would you say "maybe it's nostalgia"?! Now you're entire post credibility goes out the fn window

Yeah definitely perfer Z. Goku's journey on snakeway is a single episode. Yamcha, tien and chotzu all die in the same episode as well... It takes the inpact away and changes something fundamental. Instead of having these suspenseful, tense moments, characters talk non stop

I’m kinda jealous that you grew up during that time. I grew up during the early 2000s, but I am kinda jealous of you either way, both because of this, and just..the way things certain things were 🤣🤣

True ❤

Yeah its like side quests in video games, it makes you understand the world and characters more.

Actually some fillers is good , like training at Sayan planet, but most of them is just waste of time like many fillers about Gohan. Also American dub rewritten a lot of dialogue making Goku a Superman and Vegeta a jerk.

My issue comes with just how dragged out the fights end up being. Especially if it is non canon. Is it cool that Yamcha fought the Ginyu force in other world? Sure. But the factor wears off when you tie it to the long transformation going on and it not actually happening

The filler is fun, in places. But for the most part it’s completely unnecessary and creates world building plot holes not found in the original work.

I can get down with that logic but also the Frieza fight in Kai still goes on for like 15 episodes. I love dbz with everything in me but every time i try to go back and watch og dbz I get worn down by the filler really quickly. Some of them are entertaining but GOT DAMN its just so damn long. Kai hits all the story beats in a really satisfying way for me and I like the changes they made to the writing when dubbing it.

@@mantoslodge you gotta combine them! You can switch back and forth for the most epic parts in Z and then go to Kai when it lags. For example, when few episodes before goku does times 20 kaoken against freiza, switch to Z, then go back to Kai until right before goku finishes charging the spirit bomb! Somebody should make a guide to watching both lol

​@@darklight1030yea, there would be no way to tell without one :/

Just wish they had Kai with the original music. That was a huge part of it for me

Me personally I’m not a fan of the Falconer score but I really wish Kai didn’t gloss over stuff like gohan training with piccolo, Kaio Ken x20, or even the stuff with imperfect cell. But overall Kai is the version I grew up with and I’d still take it over Z

Same for the blood.

Actually there's 3 dubs. Uncut, Nicktoons and Toonzai(4Kids). The Nicktoons dub is censored but way less so than the Toonzai dub. The Toonzai dub is what spawned blue Popo

How do I find the adult version is it online

@@JRigby90onKick The Blu-Ray version is uncensored. Get that.

Then why not watch the jap dub with English voice actors?

True ❤

*kai = dbz 1080p[HD]*

The Japanese score is so generic.

True ❤

Glad to be doing them again too! :D

And whenever anyone is watching it first time so what should do i watch dragon ball z or Z kai

@@Detro_op Watch Z, it is more dramatic, more darker, more beautiful, better music, better impression. The only thing that i dislike are the filler episodes, but you can skip them.

@@awarehedgehog8841 And what language should i watch in

I just don’t like the music score as much. But sometimes OG DBZ has some bad music

@@Detro_op If you are watching the original, definitely the Japanese voices. If you are watching Kai, either version is fine but I think most prefer the English dub.

True ❤

I agree 100%

Exactly! Best Frieza voice ever!!

Love and respect to Mr. Ayers (RIP) but i have always preferred the OG US frieza

If you want true original, read the manga.

Dbz is more exciting

The Buu Saga is Kai's biggest bottleneck. Afwul animation and coloring and forced to watch in cropped 16:9 instead of the original 4:3 aspect ratio

​@@lambaqueen428DBZ is boring😂

​@@alexzero3736 Dragon Ball in general is boring.

Yeah it cuts more than just the fillers. Like staring at someone's face for 5 seconds and long power-ups. All of that cut out. It's also censored version of Z.

Kai cuts out filler. It doesn’t cut out canon.

@@OWmyDragonballz My comment is old, I‘ve already watched Kai. It cuts filler episodes, filler stuff in non-filler episodes, and dragged out scenes (like characters staring at each other, long power-ups, etc...).

@@vulfreydedid you feel it was a better watch? haven’t watched dragon ball in years but I only saw Kai as a kid, don’t know if it’s worth it to try the original this go round.

@@dontforgetsolstice1403 While I have nostalgia for the original anime, it is dragged out to ridiculous levels. When I tried to re-watch it after years, I just couldn't continue and switched over to Kai. The pacing is great in Kai, but there are cons. It is censored a bit (nothing extreme, though), it has a different OST, and there are these re-drawn scenes that can be quite jarring. I'd say the original is better, but the slow pace is a big issue. If you've already seen Kai and DBZ is too slow for you, I would suggest you read the manga. I am currently reading it and it's a great read. Especially if you haven't seen Dragon Ball (that's before DBZ), start reading from the start. The manga is probably the best way to experience Dragon Ball. At least for me.

have you heard the eu/jp ost? i grew up with that one and its still among my favorite music pieces. i never really could get in to listening the american versions, they feel really un-dragonball-like

The stupid faulconer music never stops playing

YES!!!!! The OG voice of Kid Goku and Gohan are the reason I watched DBZ in its original form. I’m now at the Frieza Saga and his old voice actor sounds like nails on a chalkboard. In my opinion it’s better to watch OG Saiyan saga and then Frieza saga in DBZ Kai

Really? I always hated the orignal smoker voice for Gohan. It's like nail on a chalk board for me. It's why I could never get into the film, because they had THAT Gohan voice.

@@wholockedholmes5600 Fr. Since when tf is a kid supposed to sound like that? Nostalgia is actually worse than coke for people I swear.

in kai, gohan actually sounds completely natural and perfect for a 3-9 years old kid. if you never watched dbz and watched kai only then it wouldnt kill you, the reason why its killing you is because you are comparing them.

The voice acting in Kai sounds like the actors are reading off a cars owner manual giving the characters a soulless and lifeless interaction.

The ever lasting love!

Same. Kai is okay but I prefer original Z more. I do like Chris Ayres as Frieza but I still didn’t continue watching Kai.

@@JenniferPoole.33272 he's probably like one of the only voice changes that I was fine with. Although I do prefer Linda Young because she gave Frieza a more androgynous and evil personality. Bulma's voice change is completely unnecessary, same with Gohan's, and actually hinders the show's quality. And Vegeta and Piccolo sound way too different from what they used to sound like.

True ❤

this. I grew up on kai and never watched Z, but that music gave me chills and kai’s didn’t register the same at all.

Bro goku just killed frieza and it took damn near 20 episodes, i cant believe i waited that long each week as a kid 😂

True

@@hzeek4361it took that long on Z or Kai? I’m about to finish kid goku and don’t know if I should watch Z or Kai. I think I’d prefer Z, but Hulu only has Kai and I’d have to buy another subscription most likely for Z. So I want to watch Z, but idk if I should just watch Kai since I have that in Hulu already

What did you prefer? :)

Z is trash, English version atleast

@@TonyFontaine1988L

@@Lowclasswarrior778 no. Take off your nostalgia glasses

True ❤

It's weird to read that. I grew up on DBZ with Rock the Dragon being our theme. The original music for the us released was dope but the filler though. I'm 32 now just strange to things I accepted as a kid with DBZ.7 😂

@@loanwriter Awesome, but you cannot skip Original Dragon Ball; i mean the one where Goku is a kid. It's important to watch Goku's development from the beginning.

@@loanwriter You're welcome

Z OR Kai I'm almost done the original and only interested in watching what's Canon order(that includes movies though that are a mix of good canon/filler) and any episodes in the shows itself that're good filler.

@@gamewriteeye769 I'll give you a few tips. None of the OG DB Movies are canon, they're retelling stories of the show, with a few changes. Like made up stories involving canon & non canon characters, if you're interested on watching the movies, once you're done w/ Dragon Ball, i will tell you in which order you should watch them: 1. Curse of the Blood Rubies 2. Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle 3. Path To Power 4. Mystical Adventure As far as Dragon Ball Z, i'd suggest you to watch the first Arc on the original Z version from the 90's cuz just like OG DB filler helps a lot in there. Not only that, but the Kai version made a big mistake on spoiling Goku's origins and his connection to an important villain from the Namek Arc (the 2nd arc of Z) in the pilot episode; making the first Arc of Z completely irrelevant. PS: Filler doesn't help DBZ that much (only in the first arc), that's why i always choose the Kai Version.

@@robertosoto2505 Alright that's good to know. I had a friend tell me to watch just all Z, and I'm not really sure about Kai if it's got no grit or blood with the censoring...really, I'm just trying to watch the series in the best way possible even if I combine both Z and Kai. The movies you said I'll keep in mind, and there's others I heard that's good like the Broly movie. The original series has been pain to get through though and that's why I'm considering Kai over Z to fix those older era show issues.

True ❤

It's because it's basically was traced lol. According to Wikipedia, the majority of the series' sketched and cels were discarded after the final DBZ episode, so for Kai they reanimated by tracing still frames of existing footage

True ❤😂😂😂

The NickToons edit of Kai does have Vegeta say "It's over 9000!". It's only the uncensored Kai DVDS and Blu-rays that Vegeta says "It's over 8000!"

@@theassortedhobbyist That's right, I got that mixed up. Duh me!!

No offense but his arc had nothing to do with Z at all his arc only continued after what happened to him in the first movie that’s it

@@Code1Lyoko I know, it was still a fun watch. Besides, Garlic Jr is one of those forgotten foes.

@@Code1Lyoko It was a good filler though. I really enjoyed it. I even enjoyed the filler were Goku and P learn to drive 😂

you are the first person ive ever seen who likes garlic jr

If you're referring to the old DVD Singles (and or the Ultimate Uncut Edition), you're best bet is probably just Ebay and sites like that. You're just going to have to search for them. If you mean that you just want a DVD that has the Faulconer score, it's much cheaper to just get the Funimation Remastered Box Set.

True ❤

where’d you watch kai

@@leonardoalvarado6848 They showed it on TV.

Those are the normal colors.

@@trashboat5388 There are some redrawn scenes and some of the characters looked misplaced.

thanks for spiler hate ya

@@erdal2356 DBZ came out in 1989 and you're on a video about DBZ.... You don't get to be mad for spoilers, it's your own damn fault.

@@jaded9436We are on a video to decide whether we should watch Dbz or Kai and not a DBZ review so its pretty evident that there a people here who haven’t watched the show yet 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Lol you can literally download the entire DVD you don't need to buy

I have both the original Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Z Kai season sets on DVD. But I choose the original Dragon Ball Z anime, because of nostalgic memories of watching the show on Toonami on Cartoon Network as a kid back then. Now as a adult, I can enjoy Dragon Ball Z Kai as well, because that has more faithfully to the Japanese manga rather than having filler in between the main sagas.

I can't stand nostalgia losers who can't see past poor and good art

True ❤

Kai is the better dub

Yea kai does have better dub but i prefer Z still its missing to many cool episodes imo like garlic jr saga , kai also changes to 16:9 half way through so thats anoyying and i love the american OST bruce falconer music grew up with it

Falcouner score was so awful.

Faulconer score was so awesome.

Its 20 years?

Yeah same setup for me too and same reasoning for getting Kai lol

The Kai fans keep talking them down.

Kai is wet fart juice

Falcouner had some of the cringiest scores an anime show ever had.

@marcoparada6652 I won't defend the whole Falcouner score. A lot of tracks ran from forgettable to pointless noise, but he had some damn good tracks, too. The Super Saiyan theme, Cells Theme, Hell's Bells and Final Flash for Vegeta, Gohan's theme, and Goku's Sacrifice were all memorable tracks.

​@@grimlockprime1972*KAI* Has A Better & Accurate Dub.

It is different for me. I watch Z for the Saiyan arc alone because of the fillers that provide character development, and a better build up of the Saiyan invasion. I then view Kai for the rest of the series.

@@Victory-in-YAHUSHA I can understand that. When I watch the Saiyan saga last I would stop Kai and put a few of the filler episodes on in between

@@Victory-in-YAHUSHA Majin Vegeta's speech to Goku was more impactful in Z than Kai in my opinion

@@VGLounge Cool

If I'm being honest I would recommend someone watch the first saga in Z, watch everything up to when they actually get to namek in Kai, watch The Ginyu Force saga in Z again, watch the Frieza saga in either Z or kai, same with the Android saga. The cell games Saga too me feels like it needs to be watched in Z, Same with the Buu saga.

I had watched Dragon Ball Z over 20 years as well. Nostalgia at its finest for us '90s kids.

No it didn't those leaked voice clips were funny.

@@trashboat5388 and I don't even think that was from the behind the scenes from Kai. They were using falconer music when Yamcha was getting gangbanged. LOL

if you are talking about the funimation leaks... those happened before kai was even a thing... and they still have the same va regardless

What will you watch now z or kai?

@@Ftedits208 i prefer Z over kai because kai miss alot of episodes and i love dbz so much the more episodes the better theres some really cool filler like the entire garlic jr saga is missing on kai , also kai suddently changes the aspect ratio to 16:9 half way through very anoyying and i love bruce falconers music for me its Z all the way
