g0lbez posted:Kai has better animation, a better script, the voice actor's are all very familiar and comfortable with their roles, there's no wAcKy anime hijinks filler and Faulconer (as much as I love some of his tracks) isn't making GBS threads on every scene 24/7. Why do people still recommend anything else Saiyaman Arc is better in the original dub. Kai dub isn't as good.

hot take: there's a million versions of dragon ball around at this point, just watch/read whatever version you enjoy

DBZ is borderline unwatchable just for the sheer amount of time it takes for anything to happen. A big a fan as I am of the Faulconer score nothing warrants the 106 hours it would take to watch the whole thing, especially when you consider how much of it is people making prolonged shocked grunts for fifteen seconds at a time and flashbacks to things which happened four episodes ago

Yeah you can like whatever you like but recommending the old Z to someone just watching it is a terrible idea.

I've rewatched the entirety of dragon ball all the way through Z a couple years back. It's fine to watch.

Controversial opinion - if you read the manga you don’t necessarily need to watch the anime. The manga is paced a lot better and Toriyama is very good at drawing action. I believe Super takes the manga as canon, too. That being said I grew up with the manga rather than the anime so maybe I’m biased (they got the volumes at my library, and I borrowed them all because I was a massively nerdy kid.)

if you want the true OG DBZ experience then you need to go back and watch from the very beginning again every 15th episode you reach

For at least 10 years to boot and you have to do it when Goku lands on Namek.

Everybody will find their version of dragonball that works best for them. I'm generally a manga purist but my version of the show is uncut Japanese, skip filler (except for the driving episode). Some people like the dubs. Some people like Kai. If you're new to it just try something different if something isn't clicking with you. There's enough variation out there that you'll find a version you like best if you enjoy the content. I hope we get the rest of the full color manga in the US eventually. Would really love to read that.

Agree 100% with all of this with the caveat that the Latin American voices are pretty awesome too. I love Granny Goku. It’s jarring at first, but now I really love her performance, Adult Gohan notwithstanding. I also really enjoy the original soundtrack they defaulted to for Kai. Those trumpets.

IIRC the Tuffle backstory only exists in the Z anime as well, which is what GT is building off of with Baby and so forth.

Yeah they mentioned he was a tuffle in a magazine or something. It never really came up and U2 clearly doesn't have Saiyans so I dunno why he is, but he is.

# ? Aug 3, 2018 18:42 |

U2 was just the non-canon area, with a Tuffle, General Rilldo and Hatchiyack, plus an anime-design Yardrat (Toriyama's Online design was very different). I'm surprised we didn't get any hairy Saiyans from it, but those seemingly exist in U6 and 7 only. Also movie villain gets a lot of shilling is nothing new. Broly does is even less. This kind of article is hardly surprising.

Well yeah of course you can watch whichever dbz version you find most enjoyable but the discussion was on which one is the best to recommend to a newcomer and there's really just too much filler in the original series to commit that many hours to. So I mean unless anime filler is your thing (which if it is then fair enough) I just wouldn't recommend the original dub to anybody who hasn't seen the show before
|
# ? Aug 3, 2018 23:45 |

Yeah The original DBZ is very nostalgia based you kind of need that to enjoy it. I still enjoy watching old DBZ sometimes but new fans will hate it.

pretty sure super references some filler that got cut out of kai, so it has nothing to do with what's canon. like the old show more if you want, I don't care, but the voice acting and pacing are objectively better in kai. it's a better show

The original Z was always a super flawed show. This isn’t a new or hot take. I mean flawed outside of Toryiamas writing which no show is gonna fix outside rewrites. You can like something and admit it has issues.
