JaxBlade's Fortress

Well thank you for that and I’m fine 

And yes its true I’m really not all that fond of Dragonball Z Kai

“Oh no what a shock” haha 

Now I know a few people sometimes get on me like, “Dude its the exact same thing without filler and padding” and No. it. is. Not.

I will say this about DBZ kai though, the voice ACTING was far superior to Z as the VAs have been doing this for years now and have mastered those characters but besides that here’s why I prefer the Original Z. I’m going by Funimation Dub just to make it easier. No japanese or Ocean this time haha but lets get to it

Remember this is all my opinion

1) They Changed Bulma and Kid Gohan/Goku’s Voice Actresses.

Now Kai changed a lot of voice actors, some for the better, some for worse but these 2 especially I just could not get behind. Now I have absolutely nothing against Monica Rial and Colleen Clinkenbeard, each of them have characters they voice that I love like for Monica, Stocking, Mirajane Strauss, and Tomoko from Watamote Love it. For Colleen, Friggin Erza Scarlett, Riza Hawkeye, and MONKEY D. LUFFY. They are both Awesome talented VAs but no one tops Tiffany Volmer and Stephanie Naldony in their respected roles. Tiffany brought this sexiness and intelligence to Bulma

 that I feel no one has matched and Stephanie Naldony brought this AMAZING childlike innocence to kid goku

and Badass fury as Gohan

Also i just remembered they Changed my fav DBZ females voice, Android 18. Before she had this sexy soothe kinda deep voice and then they changed her.

Bad choices in my opinion and took me out of the show. Though I will say I think they did a Fantastic job with Frieza. Also for some of the characters, like Future Trunks and Cell, the actors seemed to be overacting for those parts instead of being cool and collected. Like compare Future Trunks killing the androids and you’ll see what I mean. And there were no lines like this. This is Goku’s BEASTLIEST LINE!!

And the kai version was pretty meh to be honest

2) Their Background music and choice of OST especially for epic scenes FUCKIN SUCKED!

Now this one of those things where people hop on and say “What you dont like the japanese DBZ cause it had that type of music”

and I go no I friggin love the Japanese DBZ for it is and I see it and respect it.

To me The Japanese version of DBZ gave the series this cool kung fu series vibe.But the American one by Funi with Bruce Faulconer gave the show this Action Super Hero series vibe.

I’d watch both of those before Kai again to be honest. for example Compare Vegetas SSJ transformation in Kaihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER4YsXjFFAY

to Vegetas SSJ transformation in Zhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdjBeJUFxN4

I got chills the first time I saw Vegeta do that in Z and I can still remember where I was, What Age I was and what I was doing.

Kai had 2 awesome songs, Friezas theme and Chou Super Dragon Soul but they didnt even use that for when Goku transformed to SS and thats an iconic moment in not only the series but ANIME history

So such a waste of a badass track. All their other background music was basically trumpets and uninteresting to me and did not fit the mood of the scene. For example this scene in Z inspired me when I was being Bullied as a fat kid to keep moving forward. The music, the voice acting everything was Sublime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ7JlqmbcXM

but the Kai version of that scene didn’t do a damn thing for me

3) Their Friggin Edits 

They did so many edits to blood and color that it irked me. Sometimes a character would be bleeding from the mouth and it look like they were drooling. I’m talking about Uncut Kai, not nicktoons Kai. And I was like this really doesn’t look all that polished up to be honest so I’m not feeling it.

4) I honestly think TFS is a much better version of DBZ kai

I mean think about it. Its DBZ shortened without padding and filler, just filled with comedy and you’re getting the story still. They’re near 50 eps and already at the Cell saga and doing a great job. I’d watch that any day. Though I do like the fact Kai cut out all the Bullshit especially in the frieza saga.

Honestly not really, I used to listen to a lot of EFN and Brony Breakdown and while I’m still good friends with people from both of them I just don’t really listen/watch em anymore. Its not their quality, not at all, its just I’m not really into pony stuff anymore. I don’t play any pony games cause they are just games I enjoy remade with pony characters and even when I was super into MLP that alway made me go mehh I can just play the real thing. I used to read fanfics in 2011 but not at all anymore. I do read the MLP comics though, just like I read the Avatar the last airbender comics. They both are pretty good and I suggest them.

The only thing Pony related I can say I really look forward to is the Mentally Advanced Abridged series by FimFlamFilosophy and Rainbow Dash Presents.

The dialogue in that show is so well written and the interpretations of the characters really crack me up. Honestly it reminds me of Home movies and Bob’s burgers since the characters can be rather relatable, eccentric, but relatable lol.

So yeah I do love that but everything else not so much ^_^
