I should also mention that the music has undergone a bit of controversy. If you want a clearer-sounding DBZ in Japanese, this is good for that as well. On the Japanese side of things, the original Japanese cast, though there were some recastings due to actors either dying or not wanting to come back, rerecorded their dialogue as well, mostly because Toei junked the original audio masters some time after the show aired for some reason before they could really use them on future releases. It's a shame because I love DBZA & it's a shame that the audio couldn't be kept, but that's the business, I guess. The original audio for the scene was accidentally released on X-Finiti & subsequently released to the internet after a fan recorded it.
It's speculated it's because the people at Toei found out & forced the change in dialogue. When it finally aired & was released to home video, it was discovered that they were replaced with the original Z audio from the same scene last-minute. Prior to broadcast, it was teased that Team Four Star, of Dragon Ball Z Abridged fame, would be voicing the actors in the reenactment of the events. In The Final Chapters, the series' recut of the Buu Saga, there's a scene recapping the events of the Cell Games from the previous arc. Safe to say, if you're an English dub fan, the dubbing is phenomenal! There IS one thing I have to bring up though. The added benefit of this, other than improved acting, is that since FUNimation's a better dubbing company since 2003 when the Z dub finished airing, they have the resources to not only get better translations prior to dubbing but they also have access to better writers for their dub scripts! This means no mistranslations, other than the oddly-put line of dialogue, & some dubisms returning either out of keeping with pre-established terms from previous dubs, or some inconsistencies with attack names that were changed in earlier dubs from the original Japanese.
Yeah, they didn't simply reuse audio from Z, they rerecorded everything from the ground up. Minus some recastings (Kid Gohan, Kid Goku, Bulma, Frieza, & a lot of secondary & tertiary characters voiced by Chris Sabat in Z) because of actor/actress availability in the intervening years prior to 2009, all of the main voice actors returned to reprise their roles & they sound GREAT! Sean Schemmel especially, since he now gets Goku's character completely. Personally, I DO wish that they reanimated everything from the ground up, but I understand why they did it as they did. If you wanna get someone into the franchise, this is definitely the way. Still, it's much better than FUNimation's remasters, I'll tell ya that.

This series was properly remastered frame-by-frame in Japan for High Definition airings & releases in its original 4:3 aspect ratio, minus The Final Chapters, which was done by a different team several years after the first part finished airing.

Terrible color correction, terrible remastering all around, really, plus cropping the show to 16:9, leaving us who want to enjoy the show as it was produced out of luck unless we track down the Dragon Boxes, which are LONG out of print & expensive on sites like eBay. If you didn't know, Z has some of the most horrendous home releases I've ever seen. This is also the version of Z to get for excellent home releases. Some are simply trace jobs, while the others are completely new. Though there ARE a few redrawn scenes to replace damaged frames. It leads to a faster-paced storyline that's been streamlined a bit for many fans of Z. It has every piece of canon material from the manga, with some short filler either due to animation from the original Z being unable to be changed, or the staff leaving some in for whatever reason that could've been removed, but didn't. If you also prefer the manga, or just hate the majority of DBZ's slow-paced extra segments, or worthless filler episodes, This is the version to watch. Dragon Ball Z Kai is an excellent recut of the original Z for everyone who enjoys them some Dragon Ball, especially Z.
