![]() What are the old fans supposed to do now? Finish Kai and switch back to the old Z? Is that really an answer?Thus I say the Kai version has LESS story and deserves a lower score. Ok, that doesn’t sound like too much of a bad thing but they did prepare us to see the WHOLE story. Kai was supposed to cover ALL the Z series in a 100 episodes and it didn’t meaning, they lied to us. ![]() It is part of the original story as well. And it’s not like the manga ends in Cell and Buu is something extra in the anime version only. Going by this logic, I say the show would be better if it ended in Namek. I don’t care if some claim the Buu saga is bad and that the original should have stopped at Cell and thus Kai is better. And guess what, it lasted 97 and left out the last fourth of the story, which is the entire Buu saga. In the beginning they claimed that Kai would cover the entire show in just a 100 episodes. That doesn’t mean the dragging didn’t have its purpose the FIRST time.The thing that is in effect the MOST disappointing is none other than the actual cover per cent of the story. I too was using the fast forward button to get over the boring parts. Oh sure, that feeling only worked the first time and during the rerun of the show the slow pace would actually work against you because you already knew the outcome. ![]() Your frustration was so high that when the outcome came along after so many episodes, you were finally feeling like it all mattered. Some things take time to work and to be completely honest with you, the stretched battles and the constant pausing was what was making the original show so exciting. Some say just because it takes less time automatically means it’s better but I disagree. I mean if you take out 30 nice scenes along with 30 bad ones, it is still the same thing and it just takes less time to happen. You see, there are good fillers and there are bad fillers and Kai took out both, thus it is not really more enjoyable. In theory that is indeed positive but in practice it ain’t. As we all know, Kai was supposed to be a “better” version because it wouldn’t have filler scenes in it. STORY SECTION: DBZ: 5/10, DBKai: 4/10 (less than before and not better enjoyed) This is the part that gets most of the attention from me. There was a scandal around plagiarism and the copyrights demanded for the official releaces to be even more like the olded version. Too bad that eventually took out all the new songs and sold Kai with the old soundtrack. I can’t say if the new songs or the new dub were better I personally had no problem with the originals. SOUND SECTION: DBZ: 7/10, DBKai: 8/10 (more variety) The sound part is slightly better in overall for the simple reason there is more variety in the BGM. I care more about the artwork than the brightness and to its core it is still the same thing. I never had home cinema and even if I had I wouldn’t be watching such a show on it. I refuse to consider the animation better than the original and I don’t care if it looks better on home cinema or if the colors are brighter. This is how good it COULD have been but all we were offered is the exact same picnic basket but with a ribbon. It is the same old animation from the 90’s with its occasionally lazy drawings and cheesy visual effects. So ok, they also fixed some colors big deal. The hype was about Kai being with super new awesome visuals and yet it was the same old stuff with better resolution. ART SECTION: DBZ: 7/10, DBKai: 7/10 (same as before) I was really disappointed when I saw the so-called new version of the show. I have already made a review about DBZ where I mention everything I liked and not, so this review is only going to focus on the differences between those shows.
