I'm wanting to watch DBZ all way through but should I stick with Kai which is in good quality (720p) or original dub thats like (320 - 420p) ? What im trying to ask here is Kai worth watching?

One of my main concerns was that it was going to miss parts of the story out, but if what you're telling me is true about it's more faithful to the manga I think this is going to be the way forward for me. I just thought it was going to be a massive difference to the normal dub.

Probably because I grew up watching it and I love the voices. Also the music is great too.

You'd appreciate it I guess. I enjoyed the original though because I didn't know what filler was at the time and was a hardcore DBZ fan. But Kai is good, especially when it's in high def.

Firefox Favourite Manga One Piece	Kai has much improved dialogue script and pacing, and mostly the same voice actors. The original dub has it's nostalgia value, but I think Kai is much more well made. It preserves the spirit of the original Japanese series in a way the original English dub of DBZ didn't.

You think Coleen Clinkenbeard is good?! You enjoy the monotone Kuchiki music?! The filler, compared to others, ain't that bad.

Its simply a hollow gold cylinder. Nicely packaged, looks attractive, but its nothin if you figure out. For me, Kai = GT. No difference. I know this'll earn the irk of many Kai fans, but hey, I could state my views.

It's not like that ridiculous Mighty Morphin Power Rangers repackage where all they did was add silly little graphics throughout the show. With Kai, they improved just about everything. But, yes, you are entitled to your opinion. I'll say if you want something closer to Toriyama's story, then go with Kai. If you're just looking for entertainment and don't care if it deviates from the original story, you'll be fine with the dub.

The best one Favourite Manga They all suck	KAI, IMO, has it's high points in voice-acting and such and has a great OST, although there are low points as well (at some points, voices are dull, a few voices just don't work, and the Yamamoto score is soon replaced by Kikuchi...). KAI is also truer to the manga, but there are some things that are off in the dub, though it wouldn't matter too greatly for entertainment purposes. IIRC, they also leave in some filler too, but mostly just some filler scenes here and there that don't make any drastic changes to the plot. It's got pros and cons, but I'd say go for it.

I enjoyed Gohan's Kai voice a lot better than his original voice. No, I hated their music replacement, I enjoyed yammamoto's music a lot better. The original dub had so many uneccesary fillers that nobody cares about! Kai does a great job being more faithful to the manga. Just because you hate Kai doesnt mean everyone else does!

I personally enjoyed what i've seen of Kai so far, but at the same time the original is still special to me. Try both and see what you like perhaps - different people like different things!
