Hey, everyone! Thanks for all the love and support as we jump into this new series! WOW, this video got a lot more attention than we were expecting and for that we're super grateful and excited. There have been many opinions expressed about our choice to do Kai and I, Taylor, figured I'd respond to a couple of them. While reading this, please keep in mind it is all a matter of preference. None of this is intended to offend or upset anyone. First off, we both work full time jobs- 9-5 on a weekly basis. This means that we are recording our reactions to these on a limited schedule along with the other series that we are doing on our channel (Kaiju no. 8, Oshi no Ko, SSI, Demon Slayer, etc). This means that we are limited in our time and want to make sure that we're reacting to things we truly want to see. I grew up with Dragon Ball Z myself, owning the entire 26 volume manga and have read through it more times than I can count. I love the story, characters, have drawn a bunch of them and eventually went back to OG Dragon Ball and followed it through Super. (Yes- I started with Z before experiencing DB.) My first experience was with the Manga, though, not the anime. Which is a stark contrast to how a lot of people commenting seem to have been introduced. In fact, as a result of the differences from manga to anime, I found the anime to be not as exciting as reading it because I almost felt like I was imagining it better in my head than actually watching the anime. Thus, my preference for Kai. In considering how I wanted to introduce Karlii to DBZ, I decided on Kai for a couple key reasons: 1. Karlii is an anime voice actress! She loves listening to dubs in order to hear what other people are doing and how she can improve in her own work. I wanted her to be able to experience, in my opinion, the best dubbing that was put out for DBZ. The VA's themselves have stated that they think Kai is the best representation of their work. 2. Faithfulness to Manga - As many have stated, nostalgia is one hell of a drug and the way you were introduced to something greatly impacts the way that you feel about it. The manga itself was more than enough to hook me and, due to Kai's faithfulness to the manga, I want Karlii to become as hooked as I am. I want to show her DB Super in the future share excitement about any new anime or movies with me! I truly believe that Kai's storytelling, faithfulness to the source material and commitment to quality dubbing is the closest she will get to experiencing the manga without reading it. 3. Music - The Faulconer team (not Bruce himself) did a tremendous job with setting the tone in original Z for the US based audience. The localization of this music meant that many kids growing up got to experience the show with the incredible work the team did. This however, is a localized version and, again, not as important to the source material in my opinion as the dubbing is. So, even though there are some epic moments with Faulconer team's version during the fights, Kikuchi is legendary. Due to Kai using Kikuchi's soundtrack ever since the Yamamoto controversy, I again went with Kai. 4. Chris Ayres - Chris Ayres gave Karlii her first roles as a voice actor so there is a special place for him in both of our hearts. I want her to experience HIS Frieza which can only be done through Kai. If you, as an outside viewer do not want to come along for this journey with us, that is OK. I completely understand and respect that as everyone has their preferences and we dont all have to agree. However, commenting rude things beneath our videos will not entice us to watch the original. Being rude to others who express their preferences does not reflect positively on the DB community. Goku wouldn't support that and we don't either. Thank you for your continued support. We're just getting started. Taylor
Might wanna put a "Kai" at the end of that "Dragon Ball Z", that way folks know what they're in for. I remember being disappointed seeing people react to "Fullmetal Alchemist" only to find it wasn't the 2003 series, but the 2009 one, Brotherhood.
Firstly dont listen to anyone yelling that one series is Better than the other cause they both have their merits, and not everyone has the time to watch 30 episodes of people standing in the middle of a barren wasteland staring at eachother while the camera catches it all from 9 different angles, However the one thing Kai Lacks is the intense Musical Score that adds so much to certain scenes, if I might suggest, theres a few key moments in the series that youl recognize once you see them, you could look at the original scene to see how it feels with that musical score, not the entire episode just the specific scene on youtube, cause theyre really honestly that good.
@@tobygarton9494 It’s ok if you don’t like it but even the cast members themselves admit it’s way better. It’s ok to have preferences and nostalgia but don’t confuse it for fact
I truly dont understand how people can think the og dbz is better than kai, they started recording the voices for the characters in the middle of the series instead of from episode 1 and had to go back and dub it, in the middle of the second arc goku sounds weird asf because they just started doing it basically, Even the voice actors admit they hit their primes with dbz kai, the animation is better and more modern, the story is more refined and not 2 episodes of transformations. No filler, No long shots of everyone on the battle field
I've been wanting a reason to finally read/watch dragon ball (Z) as a newly fully formed adult weeb. This is exactly what I needed. I hope it holds up to the nostalgic feelings and memories I have...It's been over 20 years afterall. Consider me subscribed
To be fair, a large percentage of Western fans( myself included) did the exact same thing and still love it. The fun part about fiction is that you can always go back and read/watch the stuff you missed.
@@DarkestAndBlackest that's always felt broken as hell to me thinking like that. You completely ruin buildups and key moments by spoiling yourself with knowledge of later material.
Kai is the better version i dont give a single fuck what people say, they are blinded by nostalgia, Do not let them pressure you into switching, Kai is better paced, better voice acted, better directed with no padding
Nah OG is the best hands down. Idk why people keep saying it's "nostalgia" when there's younger fans who didn't grow up with Toonami that like the OG dragon ball z better than kai so that nostalgia claim is out the window totally. All you have to do is go on youtube reactions to find that out. There are certain things great about Kai & there are certain things not so great. Kai is missing the filler & the filler in dbz always gave you deep character development, slice of life moments & having those extra episodes makes you understand the characters personalities well. You feel intimate because of those filler episodes which is heaven for super fans like myself. Bruce Faulconers music is also untouchable but hey people can do what they want. That's why there's so many different kinds of groups of dbz fans.
i mean if they want to react to the movies of dbz it wouldn't be that smart to wacth kai bc the voice acting is way diffrent also dbz kai is very rushed wich is worse actually.. like its just afew small Dialogue differences.. the quality ain't not that much better.. the only reason to watch DBz kai is actually that it's way shorter then Dbz and that it doesn't have filler episode.. my suggest would be to watch normal Dbz and just skipping the filler episodes even tho afew of them are actually funny.
There is many ways to watch Dragon Ball and everyone will tell you that the other way is wrong, heck, a lot of fans don't even watch the show. You guys should just watch what you enjoy and starting with Kai is how I started it!
Goku gets a lot of misplaced disrespect from the fans when it comes to being a father. He's a great father, in general, but he's especially a great Saiyan dad. He's naturally more of a true Saiyan than even Vegeta as he doesn't try to live up to an ideal and instead lives according to who he actually is.
Goku could destroy the mountain but it wouldn't be such a good idea. If he punched it, the entire mountain would collapse on top of Gohan. If he blasted the mountain, Gohan has a high chance of getting vaporized too.
I like that you chose "Kai" cuz it's far better don't let them convince you otherwise.. Also make sure to watch "Db Super" after this .. Let the journey begin
@@T_K_Ohhh I mean since she started with Kai it has to be Super cuz it keeps the flow and that flow is also important for your subscribers ' jus saying 😅
"You know some characters and things in it but knowing how the story comes together is the most important" Also them: skip the OG and start with Z 😂😅 (No hate at all, i found it funny tho)
The majority of Dragon Ball fans in the west started out with Dragon Ball Z, so I definitely don't think there's anything wrong with doing that, even if it would be preferable to start with OG DB.
Actually I havent! Not to my recollection at least. I have met and worked with John Swasey and Chuck Huber but that’s it! I know of the other actors but that’s about it.
Hahaha, I loooove these comments. Let them stew. Our video is doing incredible as a result. My industry friends are laughing along with us. Thanks for the support! -K
@@YungandRekless5453 times? theres multiple english Dubs Funimation wasnt even the first to Dub they took over from Ocean, even Kai has multiple Dubs like a 4Kids dub
@@MeelogMalterion There's Funimations first dub after they picked up after the Ocean Dub. Then there's the redub they did for the dvd box sets. And finally, there's Kai which was more faithful to the original anime and manga. And there is no 4kids dub. Kai was censored for Nicktoons, and then they reused it for 4kids.
Back in my day only Z was available and the original was dubbed later so we had no choice but to watch Z first. Now the whole thing is dubbed properly and people keep skipping the original episodes and just watching Z. 🤨 It irritates me.
I’ll stay along for the ride no matter what version you guys watch. Eventhough I liked DBZ with the Bruce faulconer ost, I much prefer DBZ Kai because it’s actually faithful to the source material and the pacing is much better. Regardless it’s better for you guys to watch whatever version you guys want.
@@T_K_Ohhhlook up yamamoto project and see what you can do, long story short the composer was plagiarizing tracks and got caught so the music you hear now is kinda poorly put together from the original japanese dbz, and it’s not 1:1, so basically the right way to watch Kai is with the yamamoto revival project
For dragon ball z you should listen to the American soundtrack it's awesome n there is another show before it called dragon ball 153 episodes introducing us everyone who wasn't introduced in Z
Dang I would totally tune in for this if it was original DBZ with Faulconer ost. Tbh I think majority of ppl that watch reactions to dbz are looking for the nostalgia factor from when it first aired. You can always skip fillers so I don’t see why that’s a problem. Idk just my 2 cents, hopefully ya come across my algorithm again if you switch but good luck regardless!
If u watch dragon ball first it will make you care about and understand many of the characters in Z much, much better especially Goku. Skipping it would be doing a tremendous disservice to yourself.
For me,Goku are not ready to get married.....it just his relationship with Chichi kind of like being forced....plus I don't like her for certain reason......
The entire world except the US watches and and knows the show from the original dragon ball, and US audience is like no it's from Z, no that's why people have stupid takes on characters because they do not know shit and the characters as well, they should by staring from the original dragon ball anime.
@@agentmars1542 original Z portrays goku as some superman figure when that’s not how akira wrote him at all i’d rather them go through the story the way the manga was written
To be transparent there is no huge difference in dubs just a mis calculation here or there every 80 episodes but the 291 original dub it stays on script but it they would throw lines in on a original quiet moments or improvise on lines…but not so much it took away or added anything from the story
@@T_K_Ohhh Isn't that literally the same thing with kai though? Thought they changed some of the lines not the pacing. I don't think your gonna enjoy dragon ball if your gripe is the pacing regardless of which one you watch tbh lol
@@theoreomixer9107 We’ll have to seeeee! My gripe with the show when I was a kid was all the time spent having stare offs. That’s why the title is “making my gf watch DBZ”! It’s Taylor’s idea! I’m just along for the ride -K
@@theoreomixer9107u kidding? The pacing in dbz kai is close to twice the speed having over 130 episodes less than og dbz with more convincing dialogues and a logical script that stays true to each character and plotline.
You don't like Kai because of nostalgia. I grew up on the og and Kai is definitely better for new watchers. Stop gate keeping and let people watch how they want.
I've seen a lot of DBZ reactions and I've never seen such toxic OG purist comments. I don't know which sort of algorithm gods you guys pissed off to send these people your way, but on behalf of the majority of DBZ fans, who are all mostly sane, we're sorry.
@@Reninthebenz I don't see all that many "toxic" comments here, but it certainly is a bit disappointing to see people in this day and age skip the first six sagas. That was a major problem throughout the late 90s and early 2000s when it came to how the dub was handling things
That’s what my discord/twitter has been saying. I went to public school in Houston, I’m not bothered. I’m enjoying it and they’re boosting our video 😇 -K
This. So many other reaction channels started with Kai and OG DBZ and didn't even do OG Dragon Ball until after Super. They've pretty much all left the original series for last. Not a single one of those channels had all of these comments telling them off for not starting with OG DB or for watching Kai. I'm baffled.
It's unfortunate that you chose not to watch the original series. It isn't the same without the Faulconer soundtrack. Kai is just bad. I don't think you'll get half as many views as other channels that react to the original series.
Hey, thanks for your input! All these comments advising the same thing have really boosted our video in the algorithm- this is actually our top viewed long form as a result! Good thing we are doing this for us and what makes us happy instead of for views! Appreciate all the support and love we get 🖤-K
This sucks. DBZ Kai is lame and censored. Kid Gohan's voice is annoying. It also has probably the worst background music. Original DBZ American dub with Faulconer productions music is the best english version of DBZ. Music is just too good. Just look at all the other DBZ reaction channels. They react to the orginal DBZ American dub and they get more views. Kai version doesn't get much views compared to the original.
@@andrelima6241 Kai has better dub for Frieza saga ngl. But the music is lame throughout. Everything else DBZ is better. I started with DBZ just a few years ago and didn't have any problems understanding the show. Even newer audience can watch it if they don't mind fillers. There are a lot of good fillers that Kai cut.
@@TheRealRahstar bro dbz kai is miles ahead of og dbz in terms of dialogues and having a logical script that portrays a more accurate rendering of akira toriyamas vision. Kai is way more enjoyable to adults than og dbz. I swear i share the same grudge with gohans voice and lack of bruce faulconer ost. But apart from that and a few iconic dialogues (like some of majin vegitas dialogues) literally frame by frame i think kai version is the best. So lets not let our nostalgia delude us from the brilliant work went behind kai.
@@daivamme9848 Not Nostalgia for me. I just started watching DBZ 5 years ago. I've seen both and apart from the Freiza saga and other few better dialogue choices in the other arcs there isn't anything better to say for Kai. Voice acting is good in DBZ once the Cell saga starts. Annoying new voices of kid Gohan and Bulma and lack of Faulconer ost makes not wanna re-watch Kai ever again. Also honestly DBZ original dub except for the Frieza saga there isn't a huge different from the original like a lot of people are making it out to be. It is not like they are changing the story or anything.
@@TheRealRahstar ive heard akira toriyama was way more involved in the kai version release than he was for dbz. This is why kai has more convincing dialogues that are truer to their characters than in dbz. Wym its the same after freiza saga? I dare you to watch the majin buu saga or kai side by side with z and compare. Youll find kai script is way better with superior voice acting too. Just think about it? Dont you think the voice actors would do a better job with a decade of experience and after having plenty of time for understanding the story better in kai?
Actually goku can still blow up a mountain even here In og dragon ball roshi blew up a mountain and even the moon and goku is much stronger So even rn at the start of Z he could punch through a mountain

If you’re referring to the human knees; They’re mine! -K
Liars this isn't DBZ it's DBZ Kai, The new voice actors aren't as good as the original! You watta watch Dragon Ball Z Remastered!
Cap, kai definitely has better voice acting
Never ever go into acting, please. You obviously are deaf to say that.
kai si closer to akira's original vision and has way less filler and better pacing
But original Z is MUCH better 💀 the filler isn't even that bad
@@agentmars1542 original Z portrays goku as some superman figure when that’s not how akira wrote him at all i’d rather them go through the story the way the manga was written
glad you're watching Kai
Please switch to the original thsi kai is just not doing it for me
Kai is Peak and better than the OG
@@danjoshdp6257 lol whatever you say
WAIT Battle of the gods in theaters? in the uk it went straight to Netflix
It came to theaters for the anniversary! It was sooooo fun -K
For the love of god, stop skipping Dragon Ball!
To be transparent there is no huge difference in dubs just a mis calculation here or there every 80 episodes but the 291 original dub it stays on script but it they would throw lines in on a original quiet moments or improvise on lines…but not so much it took away or added anything from the story
The supersayian transformation feels just alot different in the original and kai is not that great
Not watching the original dbz is actually kinda sad
DBZ with faulconer would be a great choice
your gf will love dragon ballz
Not kai watch the original
When I have 3 years to dedicate myself to watching slow pans of character faces for 10 mins per episode, I’ll watch the original 😵 -K
@@T_K_Ohhh Isn't that literally the same thing with kai though? Thought they changed some of the lines not the pacing.
I don't think your gonna enjoy dragon ball if your gripe is the pacing regardless of which one you watch tbh lol
@@theoreomixer9107 We’ll have to seeeee! My gripe with the show when I was a kid was all the time spent having stare offs. That’s why the title is “making my gf watch DBZ”! It’s Taylor’s idea! I’m just along for the ride -K
@@theoreomixer9107u kidding? The pacing in dbz kai is close to twice the speed having over 130 episodes less than og dbz with more convincing dialogues and a logical script that stays true to each character and plotline.
You don't like Kai because of nostalgia. I grew up on the og and Kai is definitely better for new watchers. Stop gate keeping and let people watch how they want.
Why don't you start with the OG Dragon Baill anime???????????
Don’t wanna 🤷♀️
I've seen a lot of DBZ reactions and I've never seen such toxic OG purist comments. I don't know which sort of algorithm gods you guys pissed off to send these people your way, but on behalf of the majority of DBZ fans, who are all mostly sane, we're sorry.
@@Reninthebenz I don't see all that many "toxic" comments here, but it certainly is a bit disappointing to see people in this day and age skip the first six sagas. That was a major problem throughout the late 90s and early 2000s when it came to how the dub was handling things
That’s what my discord/twitter has been saying. I went to public school in Houston, I’m not bothered. I’m enjoying it and they’re boosting our video 😇 -K
@@T_K_Ohhh lol
This. So many other reaction channels started with Kai and OG DBZ and didn't even do OG Dragon Ball until after Super. They've pretty much all left the original series for last. Not a single one of those channels had all of these comments telling them off for not starting with OG DB or for watching Kai. I'm baffled.
@vicmorgana5516 Whenever I've come across them I certainly have asked where the original is. They literally skipped the first six sagas.
I don't necessarily hate Kai... but Gohan's voice alone kinda ruins it.
Heaaaard. Coleen is suuuuch a talented voice actor and she does a goood job making Gohan an annoying little snot nosed brat!
Why not the first season?
DBZ is better
Only dbz Japanese is has 291 episode and the English dub has 271
Do you know why there’s less in the dub?
Dont switch to the original z dub. it's highly inconsistent to the manga kai is the better dub
That’s what Taylor was saying! He read the manga! -K
oh yes the original with the bruce faulconer tracks starting at episode 68 will smack nostalgia.
Whatever you do, please…do not watch Kai
Oh, we’re watching it. We’re all over Kai. Can’t get enough of it. 😘😘😘 -K
@@T_K_Ohhh inshallah God have mercy on you.
@@lolkaverrare you actually braindead?
Where’s og db?
@@xenocarr. that’s what a lot of people want to know it seems! Maybe we will go back and watch OG DB! -K
Nah this is why i didnt watch the DBZ Kai I'll stick with the OG Dragon Ball
It's unfortunate that you chose not to watch the original series. It isn't the same without the Faulconer soundtrack. Kai is just bad. I don't think you'll get half as many views as other channels that react to the original series.
Hey, thanks for your input! All these comments advising the same thing have really boosted our video in the algorithm- this is actually our top viewed long form as a result! Good thing we are doing this for us and what makes us happy instead of for views! Appreciate all the support and love we get 🖤-K
Yes please watch oh dragon ball b4 watching this. It’s like starting a show at season 4
Lmao bro skipped a whole season.
More like six seasons
This sucks.
DBZ Kai is lame and censored. Kid Gohan's voice is annoying.
It also has probably the worst background music.
Original DBZ American dub with Faulconer productions music is the best english version of DBZ. Music is just too good.
Just look at all the other DBZ reaction channels. They react to the orginal DBZ American dub and they get more views.
Kai version doesn't get much views compared to the original.
Ive watched dragon ball z and kai many times and honestly kai is just better for newer audiences
@@andrelima6241 Kai has better dub for Frieza saga ngl. But the music is lame throughout.
Everything else DBZ is better.
I started with DBZ just a few years ago and didn't have any problems understanding the show.
Even newer audience can watch it if they don't mind fillers.
There are a lot of good fillers that Kai cut.
@@TheRealRahstar bro dbz kai is miles ahead of og dbz in terms of dialogues and having a logical script that portrays a more accurate rendering of akira toriyamas vision. Kai is way more enjoyable to adults than og dbz.
I swear i share the same grudge with gohans voice and lack of bruce faulconer ost. But apart from that and a few iconic dialogues (like some of majin vegitas dialogues) literally frame by frame i think kai version is the best. So lets not let our nostalgia delude us from the brilliant work went behind kai.
@@daivamme9848 Not Nostalgia for me.
I just started watching DBZ 5 years ago.
I've seen both and apart from the Freiza saga and other few better dialogue choices in the other arcs there isn't anything better to say for Kai.
Voice acting is good in DBZ once the Cell saga starts.
Annoying new voices of kid Gohan and Bulma and lack of Faulconer ost makes not wanna re-watch Kai ever again.
Also honestly DBZ original dub except for the Frieza saga there isn't a huge different from the original like a lot of people are making it out to be.
It is not like they are changing the story or anything.
@@TheRealRahstar ive heard akira toriyama was way more involved in the kai version release than he was for dbz. This is why kai has more convincing dialogues that are truer to their characters than in dbz.
Wym its the same after freiza saga? I dare you to watch the majin buu saga or kai side by side with z and compare. Youll find kai script is way better with superior voice acting too. Just think about it? Dont you think the voice actors would do a better job with a decade of experience and after having plenty of time for understanding the story better in kai?
... you're starting seven sagas in?
Original DBZ is much better than Kai
In japanese yes
Not in English
I was totally down till you sais kai, i absolutely hate kai.
I was just thinking about wanting to see new reactions...
Here we go 🙂
(Updated afterwards)
I was excited for this but it's Kai 🫤.
yay kai the better version
Actually goku can still blow up a mountain even here
In og dragon ball roshi blew up a mountain and even the moon and goku is much stronger
So even rn at the start of Z he could punch through a mountain
