Dragonball Kai: Dragonball Z HD Remaster vs TV Comparison

this is gonna be soo awesome

The best thing about this is that there will be no fillers. Meaning there will no longer be long dragged out moments.

8D

Just to clear things up and let every single person know right now.

DRAONBALL KAI IS NOT GOING TO LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THIS. ITS JUST A PROMO. DRAGONBALL KAI IS GOING TO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THAT DBZ SPECIAL THAT CAME BACK OUT IN NOVEMBER 2008. I DONT KNOW WHY IN THE HELL PPL KEEP POSTING THESE COMPARISON PAGES NO OFFENSE BUT IM GLAD YOU GUYS WAS CURIOUS ENOUGH TO DO IT JUST TO MAKE SURE THOUGH.

The dragon ball kai is going to be great but they could have made the whole dragon ball z series in ultimate uncut box sets.This is still good well its better then nothing i would watch this remake and not be dissapointed.

I LOL AT THE FACT THE FUNIMATION WOULD LICENSE THIS AND RE-RELEASE LIKE ALWAYS DBZ DVD's

They should do a GTO Kai instead though.

otaku is the worst anime ever out of all the japannese anime dragonball z is the best and probly the most known so go fuck your self or go wach pokemon you stupid faggot!

Some things no one has mentioned:

THE THEME SONG IS DIFFERENT

THE MUSIC IS DIFFERENT

THE VOICES ARE DIFFERENT

This is serious crap. Why would they do this? There is a stupid rhythm guitar during EVERY scene, like you can't watch people talking without music in the background. it's more like the lame american version. Once again, dumb japs doing whatever americans do whether it's better or WORSE.

I guess they figure the REAL remaster is the DRAGONBOX set. Now they can screw it up for the younger generation who don't know any better.

It's like all those old people who are tricked into buy those yellow sunglasses because they're called HD VISION. "oh it's HD so it must be better"

lame.

you shut do the continue of dragon ball gt is no point to do dragon ball kai becouse we all now what going to hapenn

Hmm, Possibly the standard DBZ footage in the comparison looks so crappy because it seems to be hosted on a very low quality video hosting site. Lawlz, Buy the DBZ Funimation Remaster, It looks just as nice as DBk with all the traditional footage WOOWOO.

pozdrawiamm i polecam

all you haters are bull shitting everyone here, the only reason you're saying that there were better animes is because of the time period
your mother was shouting at you to go to bed cause you wanted to watch the DB/Z/GT marathon going on(and that applies to all ages), so now you're complaining that it drags on for too long
you fucking love it and would love to take a giant golden monkey penis/take Bulma or Pan on the table and have you way every six ways to sunday

I am sort of disappointed that it isn't a new series or anything. I grew up with this stuff. I love DBZ and think it's one of the best anime's ever produced. Those who are hating on Pokemon could only wish to come up with a marketing ploy so genius, even though it has gotten pretty bad itself. I wish they would just do something new with the DBZ characters. I want new story. I respect the attempt at a live movie, but we all knew it was going to suck. The should have gotten the bros who did the matrix. Even though the second two movies weren't all that, the last scene of the last movie is very DBZ esque and shows that it can be done. When will Hollywood learn?

And...this was needed why? The money used to create this could have been used for something meaningful.

Seriously though, who really, other than some really rabid fanboys CARES about DBZ now...and now we have to see it...AGAIN?

Having watched the first episode, it seems like they re-outlined the cels on top of the backgrounds for definition purposes, and have done zero to the backgrounds.

Also, damn, you have a lot of flame wars/arguing on your site. Anytime I read an article there are extensive threads of bickering...

i don't know where your getting your information from but there is no cropping in the 100 eps of dbz that will make up dragonball kai. you get all the extra on the sides that you get with the remastered version as well as the extra on the top from the original. basically what is being done is they are cutting out all the filler making the show move faster, thank the gods for that no garlic jr. anyways they are shortening z and making the picture quality better. though i wish they would redraw the entire show all 291 eps the way they do the opening, intermissions, and ending that would be so freaking amazing and then it would once again take it's place at the top as the best anime ever, though it has been there all along for many of us.

I have only read the Dragon Ball manga and when it ended I wasn't intrested in giving Z a chance because of it's episode length and the chance that It would ruin my expectations. However, now when they will do a rerun I probably will give it a go.

Is Z equal to the manga or better?

This HD version is going to suck so bad compared to the live action movie.

For a twenty year old show, it looks pretty damn good. I might watch a few episodes despite disling DBZ. Oh but the new logo looks atrocious.

It looks like the HD remasters that have been coming out on dvd, 20% more on the sides while loosing about the same from the tops.

When I got to tour the TOEI studios that were actually doing the re-mastering they let me draw on some 'cels' (the original cel artwork is gone, and they're drawing over the published footage.

I noticed the difficulty of having to draw new material at the top and the bottom of the frames - while the immediate need is to add to the sides.

Here's a video of how it's done [http://ghostlightning.wordpress.com/2009/02/07/dbz-in-hd/] (well, not exactly).

Dont get why this is a big deal. They already released remastered widescreen versions with 5.1 sound in North America with the newest boxsets (orange boxed ones, like $25-30 each). Did they never bother doing it in Japan?

Looks pretty good

I don't really get the line: Going out soon.
Becouse I already have 001 - end of the Cell Series in Wide Screen HD.
