"Dragon Ball Kai" Saiyan Story Arc (#1-16) Talkback (Spoilers)

Mynd told me that if the YouTube has related videos which contain a link to an illegal video, so long as the poster does not bring attention to it, it's somewhat 'safe'...as I remeraber him telling me in a PM.
 
Well, it's hardly a bad idea considering we might have these animations until the end of the Freeza arc. Heck, the first animation of Cha La Head Cha La ran for episodes 1-117 and the second 118-200, so...
 
My bullet-point style review:

- Nice, shiny animation!!

- I'm glad my TV's showing it widescreen...I've had problems with other HD shows being cropped to fullscreen because the network airing the show didn't know how to handle HD programming on SD TVs.

- I'm not really in love with Gohan's face when he's falling and gets caught by Goku on the Kinou'un...it looks kind of weird and deformed to me.

- The opening features mostly Siaya-Jin saga stuff with only one shot of Freeza to break things up.

- Just as we thought...the Bardock stuff is here.

- Goku's pee-pee is gone!

- And now we see Bardock going after Freeza.

- The cropping isn't all that noticeable so far.

- That was quick...the Bardock stuff lasted all of five minutes, if *that*

- And now...Dragon Ball footage.

- They're showing a lot of the Goku vs. Piccolo stuff...I guess it's to make his eventual joining with Goku seem not so random to first-time viewers or something.

- They're showing more of the "Gohan in the wooRAB" stuff than I thought.

- Hey, it's the farmer guy!

- There are some moments when the film shows its age...one particular moment that stuck out is when Raditz is coming out of his ship and his hair color keeps fluctuating between black and *not quite* black.

- Part of Raditz's power level reading got cropped out

- New eyecatch! Still not loving how they're drawing Gohan, though.

- Raditz makes it into the eyecatch!? *Really*?? I hope they plan on updating that...

- The power reading got cropped out again!

- They left in Roshi being all pervy with Bulma

- So the episode enRAB after Raditz slaps Kuririn with his tail.

- This ending theme...eh.

- The preview just shows more stuff on the island, so it's hard to say what episode of the original series the second episode of Kai will cover.

- These "gohan desu yo" commercials are hilarious.

Three things.

1) So how exactly does Kaio-ken exactly work? It's not a transformation like SSJ so I'm going with with what Goku said about strain on the body. (When I was younger, I thought it was voice-commanded since he got the boost by screaming "TIMES FOUUUURRR!" ) So is it like a technique that increases technique for a minute and increases (By screaming) or what?

2) Is there like a difference between Kamehameha, Gallick-hou and Masenko outside of color? Seriously, which one is physically stronger?

3) I bet of this was coming out weekly like in the old days, and if the forums was around we'd be like "Oh and here's Goku pulling another superpower out his ass. You know, Kenshiro never pulled this kind of stuff."

EDIT: Okay I just saw both dubs for the Kamehameha vs. Gallick-hou scene and each one has Yajirobe saying "Oh no, if I knew this was gonna happen, I would have eaten more jelly donuts/pizza and ice cream."

....That's like...a 4KiRAB joke...
 
Oh hell yes! That would be awesome, especially since I think they'll do more of those bumps with different characters, I'll laugh at Zoro and Piccolo being in the same bump.

*Still waiting for an HQ Pic of that bump*
 
Yeah, and when has another company tried to license a sequel series before the license holder of the original series (who still had the rights to it at the time)? I'm sure Toei wouldn't do that and would confront FUNi directly to sell the rights. Also, if they did include that crossover bump as an extra and it was dubbed, it would partly lose a joke that Krillin and Luffy have the same voice actress in Japan.
 
Episode 5 covered up Z episodes 7 and 8. Interesting move on Toei's part for censoring Gohan's genitals after Piccolo blew up the moon.

Next week: Believe it or not, Goku reaches Kaio's place.
 
Well, when you see bloody Angels and Naked Rei in the same time slot as ~Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Turtles with a-~

That, and ecchi is really pushing the boundaries, too.
 
Yeah, I feel it's likely as it is--a thing belonging only to a matter of time. We all know it's going to happen. It might just happen now, rather than later.
