Dragon Ball Z Kai's Japanese Cast Records New Episodes

Voice actress Mayumi Tanaka reported on her blog on Monday that she is recording more dialogue for Dragon Ball Z Kai. However, she noted that the anime will no longer air in Japan, even though it will continue overseas.

Dragon Ball Z Kai (known as just Dragon Ball Kai in Japan) condenses the 1989-1996 Dragon Ball Z anime series to more closely follow Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga. The series features digital high-definition remastering, a re-recorded soundtrack, and select scenes updated with new effects or re-animated footage.

Tanaka revealed in her Monday post that she and the other cast members were recording the scene in Tenka'ichi Budōkai where Goten and Trunks sneak into the adults section by standing one on top of the other. Tanaka has played Kuririn (Krillin) in the original Dragon Ball anime, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball Kai.

Dragon Ball Z Kai ended its television run in Japan in March of 2011, and Toriko took over its timeslot. Funimation released the series on Blu-ray Disc and DVD in North America. The American channel Nicktoons completed the first run of Funimation's English release this year, and the series is also airing now on Saban Brands and The CW's Vortexx (formerly Toonzai) programming block on Saturdays.

Wasteful meat

I just hope ARMS could do this series justice, really wouldn't be funny if they waste the source material and turn the damn thing into Gulkeeva fodder that they usually do.

The all-star seiyuu cast and the fact the trailer only flaunts Maou's tits makes me pretty hopeful of the outcome

Wasteful meat

Sacrilege!

Wasteful meat

If ragns saw this reply, he'd probably ban you on the spot! O_o

Anyway, I approve of a spice and wolf 2.0 with succubus... er i mean demon lord (´￢`)

I stopped watching stuff since like late spring I think? I watched the end of fate zero. What are some of the good shows I missed from the summer season and this fall's?

Depends on what you like. Name the last 5 anime you really enjoyed.

Depends on what you like. Name the last 5 anime you really enjoyed.

I usually approach the new seasons by watching or attempting to watch the first few episodes of every show. So I guess a list would've been better. It looks like I've got to watch the newest Gundam Unicorn, Fate Zero was great, I still have Chihayafuru on the HDD, Ozma was looking promising I saw a few episodes so far, and I've still got Mouretsu Pirates but I can't remember if I got tired of it. So a wide spread. It looks like I've got a bunch of first episodes of I'm guessing the summer season? Zetman, Space Brothers, Sengoku etc.. Oh holy crap Lupin so there's that.

It seems I've replaced anime from then on with nothing but hentai. Jesus christ 76+ video files.

[Zilong]

Sakamichi no Apollon was great

[Cantih]

For summer
There's S2 of Moyashimon if you liked that, Binbougami-ga is an alright comedy, and Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashta is.. odd, but some liked it.
For oppai action, Hagure Yuusha no Estetica is a standout, Dakara Boku wa H ga Dekinai is okish but it got a second season, Campione is kind of plain.
Also some people were losing their shit over Natsuyuki Rendezvous.

The show of the season was pretty much Sword Art Online. I'd say Oda Nobuna no Yabou is also worthwhile.

(There was also second seasons of Dog Days, Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon, and Yuru Yuri. Pursue if you liked S1, don't if you didn't.)
Muv Luv is a trainwreck, so watch that if you want some Blood-C and Guilty Crown action.


Fall so far:
Shin Sekai Yori is the show to watch.
Sword Art is continuing, but those of us that have glanced at the LN know that's it's downhill from here (though all the episodes so far are fine).
There's also the second season of Jormungand, if you liked Black Lagoon, fucking watch Jormungand.

Also decent is Psycho-Pass and Robotics;Notes (both noitaminA) and Zetsuen no Tempest.
K is not quite as good, but it's fucking beautiful. Magi is also beautiful, you might like it, or might not (Aladdin grates on me).
Girls und Panzer is ok, better than Upotte.

I can't speak on Chuunibyou since I can't watch it.
Btooom! is... predictable (violence! violence against women! GRITTYNESS!) but if deathmatch genre stuff is your thing.
Ixion Saga DT is average and stupid with a bit of smartness about it, you can start watching it and might not be able to stop. (tama)
If you like Fruits Basket you might like Kamisama Hajimemashita, but it's not quite as good.
On the oppai front, To Love-Ru Darkness and I think Sakurasou no Pet no Kanojo are your options this season.
There's also JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, but I think it's turned out to be a bomb?
(Also on returning shows is Medaka Box, Initial D, Bakuman, and some kind of alt/reboot for Setokai no Ichizon, and Hayate no Gotoku)

Hmm, wait, Aoi Sekai no Chuushin de started late, I need to go have a look at that.

[JigglyJam]

okay cool I also found lists of the three seasons i missed out on. noticed a second rinne no lagrange for summer.

[Pharaun]

There's also JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, but I think it's turned out to be a bomb?

The fuck? Jojo's is freaking awesome, the first episode was a little slow because it was trying for character/story development over fightan' but it was still solid. Ever since then it's been ramping up the insanity to typical Jojo levels. If you've read the manga you know to expect from this show, and I feel it's been a very good adaptation. I can't wait for them to get to part 2.

I haven't really seen any talk about Robotics;Notes, and I'm quite liking it. It doesn't have the whathefuckery/hooooooooooolyshit factor of Steins;Gate, but it's still good.

[Silenka]

Shows to watch for Fall are definitely Chuunibyou and Shin sekai yori.
Tonari no kaibutsu kun if you like slice of life/romance, it's the most well done romance show I've seen since Kimi ni Todoke.
Little Busters if you like Key (Clannad, Air etc, but I feel like this one's more a cross between Angel Beats and Kannon)

I couldn't stand Oda Nobuna no Yabou because of the retarded tsundere male slave boobie dynamic, which is too bad cause I was looking forward to it because I love Japanese history. None of the summer shows were really that good iirc. Joshiraku was probably the only summer anime that I thought was worth a damn and I didn't even watch more than two episodes... Funny stuff though.

Gintama is running again, however... with a bit of new material, but also some reruns so they don't catch up to the manga.

Robotics note is kind of interesting in its own way (wtf is with the guy wearing a mask!) also Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo is turning to be more of a dramatic love story then the ecchi comedy thing it started as, its not too bad I guess O_o
