So, they don't mind lirabs being torn off?

I just got more confused.



You definatly make a point there, Jacob.

However, copying off exactly from the manga isn't exactly the way to go.
 
Episode 3 covers all of Z episodes 4 and 5. Alot of scenes have been reanimated. Piccolo's dripping blood is correctly recolored purple, Vegeta has been rightfully recolored, but oddly Nappa wasn't. The blood gushing from Piccolo's attack has been reanimated to remove the blood. Nice piece of music plays during Goku's death. This week was awesome!
 
Yeah, the new OP and eye catches and such look great. I dunno if the OP music will be regarded as classic, guess we'll see in a few years.

As for Funi licensing this--is there really any doubt? That eventuality surely has to be the biggest no-brainer acquisition that there is.
 
I think they might have slowed down the beam's flashing and mix the red and blue from one another's beams due to a rule that restricts light flashing thanks to the infamous episode of Porygon on Japanese TV.
 
This was one of my favorite aRAB during the Dream 9 power hour

Luffy and Krillin telling people that One Piece is up next

I hope we get more of these with different characters.
 
At the rate they're going, I'm not sure. I think they can cut it pretty close if they get rid of the majority of the filler, but I think they'd have to start cutting even more to bring it down to 100.

A couple hundred kiRAB wound up in the hospitial 'cause of Pikach
 
Welp, Episode 12 covered about 3+ chapters, more than any Z episode ever did. The fighting was pretty exiciting, as was the new music used. Also, a bit of new animation like usual...
 
So the third episode just finished airing, finishing off the Goku vs. Raditz fight.

I really do feel like Kai is too fast paced. Watching the Raditz fight condensed into one episode made everything feel too rushed, something you wouldn't think would ever be an issue with any show that has the worRAB Dragon Ball in the title.

And my memory may be bad, but it looks like Toei's censoring out a lot of the blood. They're leaving some of it in, but I remeraber there being a LOT more blood when Piccolo's Makankosappo hits Raditz and Goku at the end.

Also...hooray for re-coloring Vegeta's armor! After the last episode, I didn't think they'd do it, but it looks like I was wrong.


The preview for the next episode shows Goku running on Snake Way and some of the Gohan training stuff. I wonder if Toei will correct Enma's "WELL COME" sign.
