Z

Pissing away all of the good will it built...

"Great Flaming Dragon Balls! A Theatrical Experience!! Penguin Truth Enjoys A DBZ Dub!!!"

So, it's been announced that Dragon Ball Z Kai will air on Toonami sometime this year. I'm probably preaching to the choir here on my own blog, but here's a few things some people ought to be aware of.

Episode 105, "What’s the Matter, Piccolo?! An Unexpected Conclusion to the First Round"
 

*****SPOILERS*****

Episode 102, "The Dragon Team, All Assembled! Son Goku has Returned!!"
 

*****SPOILERS*****

Synopsis: Videl's ability to fly improves drastically after some practicing. Days pass and Goku's friends and family gather to meet him at the Tenkaichi Budoukai. When Goku appears before them, he's surprised to finally meet his youngest son, Goten, who looks identical to him. Trunks and Goten are both disappointed that they can only enter a children's division of the tournament. Goku and friends try to hold back when registering on the punch test machines, but have trouble. Vegeta doesn't bother, however, entirely destroying one.
 

 "I don't need this shit."

PART I: The Preamble
 

LIKE A G6, LIKE A G6, Toei's fucking up Kai like a G6. FUCKING ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC IN MAH HEARTWARMING SCENE. Nice.

Fuck yeah.

Three years ago, I caught whiff of a possible English dub for Dragon Ball Z Kai done in the frosty North, by the Sasquatch-breeding Canadians at Ocean Studios. For three years I have waited with bated breath, my eyes opening to the day with fresh hope that the dulcet tones of Doc Harris would course through my ears with "Stand by for Dragon Ball Z... Kai!", only to be struck each day with a sense of unrelenting defeat (moreso than usual). Eventually, I had no choice but to settle into a remarkably steady indifference, puncuated by the occasional glimmer of curiosity (and something somebody in the know told me).
