*BlueBlur flies in on his nimbus cloud to disclose tediously specific info on the two series and which one is flat-out better to sit through

Okay. Kai definately has better image quality and is much better to look at than the original version. ONLY THE IMAGE QUALITY. Animations and everything else is the exact same. It also has much better voice acting and sound effect quality. The script has also been changed to resmble the manga more closely. All filler has been cut out so this is the best choice if you basicly just want to see the manga on a tv screen. But you know what sucks? Nothing after the Cell Games Saga. It ends when Cell dies. So you'll be missing out on some gooey pink enemy that blasts the shit outta everything in sight.

If you enjoyed the filler episodes of Goku getting a drivers liscence, then get the original series. The fillers in this series arent the usual filler in other anime where it takes the main story on a permanent detour and the characters do nothing but boring crap. No. The filler here actually entertains you. They actually bring out the characters personality through extended fight scenes and speeches, but mostly the former. There are several scenes where characters really bring out their character through filler which isnt present in Kai or the manga. The script is different from the manga, which is one reason that a reboot like Kai was necessary, but by no means is it boring. It's amazing. Vegeta, Goku, Frieza and other characters get to say some pretty awesome stuff. You also get to hear the Funimation audio tracks in the background which fits the scenes well (unless you hate guitar riffs. yeah you'll be getting a lot of that). And you get the Buu saga as well! Yay!


I've watched both versions 3 times over so you're pretty much getting this from a DBZ expert. Of you get Kai just get it uncut. Hope I helped!
