@TechnoSyndrome: Geez, that fucking sucks. There's so many ways to watch the original releases of classic shows nowadays and arguably one of the most important ones is just left in the dust. I just took a look at some of the BR remasters they did for original Z and it looks and sounds horrible.

For what it's worth, I really liked the job they did with Kai up until TFC. Some of the redrawn stuff is a bit lame and the new music (for the first few arcs) is kinda bad, but they kept the proper aspect ratio and had good quality audio. New one just completely bungles it by cropping it to 16:9. I wonder what was the reasoning behind it. I know they changed the production to in-house but someone has to have called the shot at some point.

@miceman64: Is there really no modern way to watch original, Japanese audio DBZ? That's really lame.

Looking at the Blu Ray versions of The Final Chapters, I might bite the bullet and just go back to original DBZ for the Buu saga. I can deal with the editing because I'm really not that attached to the filler, but the 16:9 cropping and the weird green filter seems a little too much, especially the former.

Stopping on the second to last saga of the series is absolutely killing me. It feels almost like the guys dont realize that the next episode literally picked up the next week, it wasnt some long break that they came back to. It's just the stupid way they released Kai that makes it seem that way

Or maybe, just maybe, they want to take a break because they feel like it?

Wait, does Vegeta really say he won't ever fight again in the English dub? That's not at all what he actually says. Pretty much the opposite, in fact.

He says that in the Japanese dub though. I just watched that episode yesterday and that really jumped out to me as well.

Funny that Dan mentions Gregory when they mentioned the narrator thanking Goku, because in the Japanese Kai dub the narrator is basically King Kai.

Fuck yeah my favorite PS2 game.

One of the bosses here (the one that has the other god hand or something? Can't remember the specifics. It's a guy that forces you to learn how to use the dodge system) is probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to beat in a videogame.

Yerba is the plant, Mate is how it's prepared.

If it's cold and you're also from paraguay it's called Terere (pronounced tedede)

I dated someone from paraguay for a few years so i know a weird amount about yerba. the gourd is called a guampa. the straw is called a bombilla. terere is especially dope if you chuck a lemon in the Termo (literally just what they call thermoses)

Paraguay is big on mate! I'll add to your comments that tereré is (from my understanding) usually served cold while regular mate is drunk hot.

I'm from Argentina, we also drink a ton of mate. It's more of a communal thing were everyone in a group shares the same gourd. My girlfriend is Canadian and she gave me some very confused looks when I accepted a serving from a random person on the tour bus we were in. It's so natural that you don't generally think much more when that sort of thing happens.

I'm now living in Canada, and real yerba is soooooooo hard to get here and so expensive, too. I hesitate to call the canned stuff mate at all, it's really nothing like the real stuff. It's more like cold "mate cocido" (our name for the teabag version of the drink), which is kind of bleh in my opinion.

There seem to be some heavy source issues in the video in some of the Yatagarasu segments. Audio and video skips and stuff.
