I feel like the filler is part of the experience and nostalgia, honestly.

Yes. It's better than the original version in every way.

The only way it's inferior is if you actually enjoy all the filler.

Does it have the Gohan and the Robot in the cave episode?

No?

Does it have Piccolo and Goku learning how to drive?

No?

I don't think any further explanation is necessary.

In terms of pacing, yes.

However, they cut out so much material that watching the episodes feels a lot more jarring. Animation and art quality in DBZ varied from episode to episode. Kai combines multiple episodes into one, so you see animation and art styles change throughout a single episode. This can be very disorienting.

Honestly, if you want a true to the manga version of DBZ, just read the manga ffs

Meh, I dunno. I haven't watched DBZ in well over ten years. Maybe I don't want to see the filler anymore.

Yes, it is better. Filler was the worst aspect of the show.

I don't know but the recent episodes of kai (Buu saga) feels like it's going at a snail pace where barely anything happens per episode

Which is part of the filler. The original DBZ was about 290 episodes, and by cutting out all the filler, they trimmed it down to 160. So unless you like literally 45% of the entire show being filler, Kai is absolutely better.

I remember reading that the DBZ Kai: Final Chapters (Buu Saga) wasn't done that well and still left a lot of filler in.

So for that part I'd say just watch the original, since atleast you get Faulconer's soundtrack with it...

Maybe it's because Kai is what made me a fan of Dragon Ball, but the episodes didn't feel jarring to me and I didn't notice changes in artstyle either. I didn't even know that it combined episodes together until I read your post

I was going to watch it dubbed regardless. It's one of the only anime that has become so intrinsically linked with its English voice track that it's impossible to go back (and Goku being voiced by a woman in Japanese past his childhood is annoying too...).
