| LuckyTrouble said: If you only plan on starting DBZ from scratch, I strongly suggest watching Kai. Some people crap on it because it isn't their nostalgic, super drawn out version of the show, but it is cut down in all the best ways to make it feel less horribly long at various points. The one thing that might throw you off though is that they did have to get new voice actors for some characters, and they may sound more than a touch off compared to the originals. Thankfully, characters like Goku and Vegeta have the same voices they always have, and Kai will let you skip that awkward phase where Goku's voice actor was trying to get the voice down. If you want to watch from Dragon Ball forward, well, Dragon Ball is good as it is. I enjoyed it when I decided to watch Dragon Ball from the start all of the way through the loathed GT a year or two ago. |
I started watching the series from DBZ. Actually, that means I've only seen DBZ.
I remember reading that Kai cut off stuff to make it so that Goku doesn't spend as many days in the "Serpent Road" and in his way to Namekusei. I think I would rather watch the orginal series because I don't like the idea of missing footage. But then Kai is HD, so there's that to consider.
I have no particular attachment to the voice overs as I saw these series mainly with Spanish and English voice overs. I remember Japanese VO for Goku though, he has a high-pitched voice, I recall a woman gave his character voice in the orginal version.
I would like to start from the Dragon Ball series indeed.
