I think we're stuck with this one the whole way through, which is fine by me since I totally dig it. Head Cha La was great, but "dokkan dokkan" is pretty damn enjoyable in its own right as well.

Agreed, the current OP and ED is a pleasant surprise.

To be honest though, I think it'd be best to leave it at the Frieza Saga and call it a day. I was never a big fan of the Androids, Cell, and Buu arcs.

Cell is no Frieza or Vegeta in terms of antagonistic presence. Vegeta's character was completely neutered, going from killer badass to grumpy, second-rate tag along. There's no sense of that grand interplanetary adventure found on Namek, or the campy "invaders from space" fun from the Vegeta Saga. I also didn't like Trunks or any of the Androids. I think it was from this point that the series began to feel derivative, as if it were dragging along just to milk the franchise. Maybe Kai could do a better job with it, but as it stands, I don't think I'd be in for round 2, even despite Gohan's awesomeness.

Cell's fear showed us how much he didn't care to throw his pride away just to survive. Now I'm not saying that Cell wasn't prideful but he wasn't ashamed of throwing that away if it meant living. This was something different, at least for me, plus the wit and sarcasm sealed the deal But I do agree that the journey to Gohan's SS2 transformation was rather lackluster but if they were to keep going, I wouldn't mind watching it, if only for Cell and Gohan.

I don't see why Toei would stop at the Freeza saga, to be honest. Kai's ratings have been very strong, and anything Dragon Ball related is very well received in Japan for that matter.

I don't see why they would either, but I personally hope they do.

Edit: I just looked at the link and the episode count is the estimated 100 number, not 50. Even then, that's still just a rumor.

I really don't why you're trying to make a thing of this, but you sound as if we're conducting scientific research here. I already know the information is not guaranteed to be accurate, I blatantly mentioned it, and I've also stated that I don't care. I'm fine with going on their rumor, despite the possibility of it being false.
If I actually cared enough, then yes, I'd go by official statements from Toei or investigate MAL's claims further. But again, it's over the episode count for DB Kai, and this is all very silly and inconsequential.

Hence, my disclaimer. And that means we've just come full circle. Oh, the evil things you do.
Right. So, as an attempt to steer this ship back on course...Ginyu Force! Episode 28! Huzzahs all around!

In fact Toriyama has never shyed away from down right humiliating his villains, I guess he wanted them to be as ruthless and cocky as much as possible to make their defeat more pleasing (My guess anyway) Villains now a days, at least from what I've seen and read, are treated far more kindly, most get to keep some sort of dignity . |

Indeed. I'm very excited to hear what their voices will be like, since they've been assigned an all-new voice cast. I'm also certain that Kenji Yamamoto has quite a few new pieces of music reserved to go with their arrival and the whole subsequent Freeza fight. From now on, this is truly where the Freeza arc is at its best.

By the way, I like future Trunk much much more than that kid Trunk...Trunk is the only one who kills all the big names like Frizea, 17, 18, and cell!!! He kills all those bad guys and he is the only saiyan who never plays game with those bad guys...I like his professional attitude

you mean at the end of the cell arc?? if you mean it's at the end of the buu's arc, then we have the endless debate of mystic gohan vs goku SSJ3 Plus, the ending of the buu's saga is 10 years after the battle between goku and kid buu... unfortunately gohan has once again become a nerd at that time (he even wears glasses )...
