Just make sure to watch it under the superior Bruce Faulconer's soundtrack and not the fucking shitty Japanese circus music.

I actually had watched some of the movies like Bio Brolly and Tree of Might in the past, (dont remember them so much now) but I thought there was a proper time to sprinkle them in while watching the show :)

DBZ movies pretty much run their own timeline; they're not included in the main series canon whatsoever.And it's the same for the abridged movies --- Common sense says it may not taste good, but it'll make a turd. ... Copied to Clipboard!

You can, but I've heard some wildly varying opinions on the quality of some of them
Don't go in to the 13 that came out before Battle of Gods expecting them to be in the main timeline or expecting them to all be masterpieces --- I am a super sandwich! http://www.last.fm/user/ToxicOrochi ... Copied to Clipboard!

The movies are all filler. Watch them for better animation quality and for the fights really. As for the main series, DBZ Kai works the best. Though look up the Goku and Piccolo driving episode.

The Steelcase editions are the best way to watch them. They have the least editing and are pretty watchable. I still need to replace my first couple of seasons with them.
The cropping on home releases is just garbage --- Warning: Sometimes biased http://i.imgur.com/V0x5fw8.jpg http://i.imgur.com/IOovUge.gif http://i.imgur.com/zw7bqPH.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

kai is great. they butchered the buu saga or at least it's still full of filler.
i been wanting to rewatch the series starting with dragon ball. i was gonna watch the uncut dbz for the first time since before kai. then rewatch super. it's gonna take me forever especially since i don't plan to binge watch it and just plan to watch here and there while trying to watch other stuff. hoping by time i do all that they at least announced the return of super or possibly a new movie but i think it's time for the anime to return depending on if they go back and show moro or if they just skip all that and pick up after super hero. --- This is a sig ...

TimeCrisis posted... Side question; I absolutely adore the OG DB series. Its not what you'd expect. The series actually started off as a gag manga. Its all fun and jokes until somebody dies and that's literally where shit turns around. You learn a lot about character history but its not at all necessary. Most of us got into Dragon Ball Z before we even knew about Dragon Ball and we all turned out find. Its definitely something you can go back and watch. ... Copied to Clipboard!

As for the movies, you can sorta watch it in a timeline... You can watch: Dead Zone is perfect for around the beginning. Maybe after Raditz. it fits perfectly there alongside World's Strongest and Tree of Might Lord Slug can be watched around there but its probably better until after you get to Namek. Cooler's Revenge and Return of Cooler happens after the Frieza saga Super Android 13 can be watched during or after the android saga. The Broly movies can be placed around Cell maybe? I think Broly movie 2 and 3 can be watched during or after the Buu saga..or maybe during the Tournament. Fusion Reborn can be last...probably seen whenever. Honestly, I'd watch the Other World Tournament episodes(they're filler) since it involves some of the characters there.) Wrath of the Dragon takes place after Kid Buu. The movies after that are all in Dragon Ball Super. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The Faulconer OST has a lot of really good moments, some even better than the original. The problem is the soundtrack is playing all the damn time in the Faulconer dub even in moments when no music would clearly be a better choice. Instead we get clown music to kill down time.

Leaked audio shows the main voice actors using homophobic slurs and tasteless jokes.I know nothing of this and was basing my comment solely on the content, having watched all of it recently. I don't support such things from simply having watched it. The frieza fight alone, if you compare the soundtracks, as subjective as taste can be, clearly has a more emotional and impactful feeling.

The music that plays when TrunksThis isn't bad. Just not clicking with me. But I'm happy to be convinced. I'd also like to hear some comparison tracks. Maybe it's more impactful if I'm watching the scene with the tracks. From what I've seen of both I did like Faulconer.

What's wrong with Kai's Buu saga?Kai had an excellent company called Q-TEC remaster through the Cell Saga. Buu was done much later and by Toei themselves. They sucked at it. It kept more filler content, ruining the quick pacing Odd color space They chopped the damn edges of the screen off and called it "wide screen presentation" Removing it from a cohesive set and just calling it "The Final Chapters" Not all DBZ filler is bad. It gives a sense of time and progression. If you think the OG cut meanders then Kai is too fast.

Its like with each release they fucked it up in a different way. I linked a video essay explaining it in post #5.
