Dragonball KAI in america

So, apparently not only will this air on Nicktoons, it will also be airing on The CW4Kids (which will be renamed Toonzai in the fall).

when is it going to start on TV?

It starts on Nicktoons on May 24th.

No problemo, I aim to please.

I saw an episode of it from Japan and i enjoyed it. I will set my DVR for it to give it a try

I just picked up part 1 (eps 1 - 13)at best buy.

Tonight @ 8 (EST) first two episodes. Or maybe just the first episode twice? Probably the previous. I'm just not getting info on the episode. Thinking of watching it.

DVR Has been set.

I feel sorry for any parents who's kid loves this show and goes out to buy the DVD only then to realize Master Roshi asks for Bulma's "goodies" and pretends to grab her breasts...also they'll likely notice he's not drinking foaming Milk.

And what's with Nicktoons changing the opening? and having what sounds like Jarrod Norrell singing a chopped version of what Sean Schemmel did.
For those who don't remember him

James Ian Corlett, voice of Goku during the early DBZ sagas, also voiced Megaman in his tv show. Thought that was neat. (May have already knew that, but forgot. )

I haven't watched the DVD yet, but I did catch (some of) the premiere on Nicktoons. Anyway, on TV the version of the opening sounded like Vic Mignogna.

It was.

^I thought so. I hadn't bothered to check though. Thanks.

Dislike the opener and closer. Kinda hokey.

Tomorrow's finally some goodness, with the Saiyans finally landing. Everyone in that city is going to die. Heh.

I'm really liking Kai. I've watched a few of the episodes on TV. I still haven't watched the season 1 part 1 set I got. I will soon.

I am curious though: why were some of the parts recast? Are the actors who originally did the voices no longer with FUNimation, or is there another reason?

I caught a few episodes yesterday. I was expecting it to be horribly butchered - as most anime that air in the states tend to be (prime example: Naruto).

I was pleasantly surprised. I mean, there's stil cheesy edited dialogue (Darn you jerk!), but people actually friggin' die. Awesome. I remember when the original aried, and even at ten years old I was like "I'm gonna send you to another dimension?" "What the hell is this bullcrap?" Now granted, there's still virtually no blood - to be expected, can't make it too graphic, godforbid you should show that people tend to bleed when their arms get cut off, but like I said, they actually don't prance around the issue that people are getting killed.

well if you get the DVD you will get to see the blood

Well i got the first box set. looking forward to seeing it. I also got Season 9 of the regular series for $19.98 and i will sell the individual DVDs that i have and get about the same amount of money back. or at least it worked with the other sets i bought

I HATED all the "I'm going to send you to another dimension" stuff in the original dub. I didn't get into DBZ until after the show had ended its original run in the states. The first saga I saw was the Kid Buu saga. I saw the rest of the series out of order as well. The original dub of the Saiyan and Namek sagas were the last things I saw and man am I glad that was the case. If they had been the first I saw I never would have watched the rest of the series.

I can't believe they are already to the Namek stuff. Man did they cut the fat.

Was it just me or did Frieza's voice sound different?

^ A good few of the voices are different. I think they may have redubbed slightly because of omissions. Don't like Bulma's new voice.

Yeah, it was, and frankly I don't really care for the new voice. So far it's my least favorite new voice.
