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

[Paulina Paulino]

I want to give my quick 2 cents about DBKai.

Though, I still personally think I still don't see whats the big deal is, but...

One is I love how they remove all the filers and unnecessary scenes. Pretty much skipping the boring stuff to straight to the fun. The color is ok. And, I got pretty much used to the OP/ED themes (But CHA-LA-HEAD-CHA-LA will always be the best)
And the JP dub. Yeah-Yeah-Yeah, always good, blah-blah-blah.


Though, I did found some parts to...Well, killed it for me.

I think in episode 16 were Vegeta went onto his rampage with Gohan. Some of the new animation killed it for me. I mean, it didn't felt right. I think the original animation work was the best.

And the new OST. Don't like it. Which, I find it odd ppl complain that FUNi OST was trying to sound cool; I personally think this new OST JP made sound more like they are trying to hard to make it cool then FUNi OST. I say just keep the original JP OST then making new ones.

But in all, yeah. I'll give it 7.5/10.

While I don't quite care for much of how the score is used here, there are certainly some good pieces. However, the breakneck pace of Kai sort of seems to be taxing Yamamoto's score.

Yamamoto's been doing DragonBall for years now. While I wish the Kikuchi score was being used, this is still a pretty good musical score.

I'm not saying its the worst OST ever, but it really didn't felt right. Didn't feel “Old-school” to me.

[Chew Gunstarᵀᴹ Gum!]

I'd agree with that.


Also, if you have nothing to discuss of the Saiyan arc, can we move this to the Planet Namek arc thread (check my signiture)?

Well, like I said, I said I want to leave my 2 cents.
