I'm doing a rewatch (in Japanese with English subtitles this time) and the first episode mostly consisted of Goku looking for Gohan in the forest then trying to rescue him. I can see why Funimation edited all that shit out and got right to the action. I mean gee golly, anime sure did take its time back then with the pacing. No way that'd fly today in the 1-cour 12 episode anime world.

I was trying to watch an episode a night but I forgot to last night. Maybe I'll watch two tonight.

Just watch Kai. It removes most of the bullshit and therefore follows the manga a lot more closely.

Not funny.

It's actually in my top 10 of anime but the first episode is sooooooooo bad.

This. I understand disagreeing with the soundtrack and voice acting changes, but Kai is so much easier to watch than the original DBZ.

How so though?

Also I think I'm going to watch two episodes tonight to make up for missing last night.

Just for a new experience. I've already seen the Z dub (my preferred way of viewing). Honestly the show feels so different. It feels like an old kung fu movie or something.

For me the Japanese music is so iconic it's really hard to watch the dub regardless of voice acting quality (which I don't actually think is very good, but some people hate Japanese Goku).
