I'm a purist, and watching the Funimation version on the cartoon
network drives me insane. I began watching DBZ as they began the entire
series over. What bugged me was there was no blood compared to the
violence of the characters Ki-moves. An example, where were Radditz
guts from the Masenko blast Piccolo delivered? Also, in the earlier
episodes they could say kill, but all of a sudden they started "the
next, i can't say it, word" came up. I began to search the internet to
satisfy my curiosity and found movies that were dubbed but not edited
and I have been converted.
The Japanese versions have better drama, better music, and of course
Blood. I saw Nappa open a can of whoop-butt on the Earth special
forces. I found episodes further into the story too. I can't wait
until Goku fights Freeza. When he turns to a SSJ, the intensity of the
moment drew me in that I can't stop watching this episode. The
background music as he begins beating the heck out of Freeza, lingers in
my head every day. This will be a purchase when Funimation releases
this episode.
As I check more sites I'm teased because I hear the Cell saga is
better than the Freeza saga and who knows when we will ever see those
episodes. But I'm waiting for this go around on the new episodes after
the Ginyu Force, knowing full well that I am being forced to watch this
crap they are force feeding us. I can't believe some of the censoring
going on, on the Simpsons I hear them mention death, show nudity, and
the Itchy and Scratchy show segments are as violent as anything on DBZ.
So I'm forced to begin my quest for fansubs and anything that will
quench my desire to the Japanese un editted versions. Phooey on the
American versions I spit on their graves.
