Funi has Dragonball Kai (Confirmed)

I kinda like the "Z" in the title. Doesn't get one's hopes up that it's a brand new series instead of a revised edition of Z.

Like Jacob says, Kyle still visits Texas and recorRAB for FUNi all the time, so I doubt he won't return. Dameon Clarke replacing him as Teen Gohan wouldn't make sense in the least, since Travis Willingham replaced him as Cell. Dameon Clarke is busy in LA with his live action career, and it appears he's not doing anything at FUNi anymore, since he was also replaced by J. Michael Tatum as Scar for FMA Brotherhood.

AHAHAHAHA!
Epic news!
And I was actually on the verge of buying the DBox.
*sigh of relief*
I'm glad this is coming and soon, but I'm surprised so soon...

Didn't they already try the redubbing thing with DBZ: Uncut? Wasn't that all just one big joke?

[Marc P]

Well, this series is being released on DVD too...and eight on one disc is pushing it, espicially with subs and likely two audio tracks.

Guess it makes sense that they added "Z" to the name, since DBZ is the more well known brand in America compared to just DB. I'm still waiting for FUNi to license the JUMP special, though.

Yes, FUNi shouldn't sell something that everybody wanted of their flagship franchise.

Wow, that Z is so awkwardly placed. JTP won't be happy....

Congrats FUNi. This will be the first Dragon Ball related thing I buy since Vol. 9 and 10 of DBGT.

Aside from the hardcore fans that will buy both the Kai and DBZ boxsets, I like many other people are conflicted on what to buy.

On one hand the DBZ Dragonbox's are the ultimate release of the series. Yet at the same time, all of DBZ's bad pacing issues, bad fillers, and drawn out episodes hamper it.

Then we have Kai. It fixes all of DBZ's pacing problems, gets rid of (most) of the filler, and will likely have a better dub to boot. Yet the negatives is it removes the blood, (Goku's death during Radditz looks awful in Kai), the Japanese soundtrack isn't as good as Z, and since it removes the training filler, you miss seeing the good guys actually train and get stronger.

I am conflicted, and I am not a hardcore enough fan to want to buy both. Do I get Kai, or do I get DBZ? What are YOU going to do?

A new dub is the only real reason people here are excited. If it prints money, SPEND MONEY on the dub, Funi.

It's a serious trollwreck if there isn't a new dub.

Nice to see Dragon Ball Kai getting a release here. Still going to buy the DBox as I do treat Kai and Z as different titles.
