The legendary series will return to American television in the form of Dragon Ball Z Kai this May on NickToons!

It was announced at the 2010 Upfront Presentation Thursday morning in New York City that Dragon Ball Z Kai will premiere, English dubbed, on NickToons (a partner channel of Nickelodeon) May 2010.

Dragon Ball Z Kai follows the last descendants of an evil race of warriors, known as the Saiyans, on their collision course with Earth. Goku–the strongest fighter on the planet–is all that stands between humanity and extinction and must face the villainous Saiyan warlord.

In Dragon Ball Z Kai, the original the Dragon Ball Z story is retold to more closely follow creator Akira Toriyama’s original tale. A project personally overseen by Toriyama, Dragon Ball Z Kai has been re-edited and re-made using the latest in digital technology. The new series also features renewed soundtracks and a re-recording of the series by the same cast that made the from the original FUNimation dub of Dragon Ball Z a hit!

In the same month as the television premiere, FUNimation Entertainment will begin releasing the Dragon Ball Z Kai series on DVD and Blu-ray on May 18, 2010.

    Considering the success of Avatar The Last Airbender on the network and since it was a smash hit due to being an anime , Dragonball Kai could set a new paradigm where anime are put on Nick as well as Disney rather than CN.

  • Really

    Honestly, I’m gonna enjoy Dragon Ball on Nick since well you know, Toonami was canceled for god knows what reason. And also Cartoon Network isn’t really “Cartoon” Network anymore anyways.

    It is very interesting that Dragon Ball Z Kai will be airing on NickToons. Maybe now since Cartoon Network don’t want anything to do with anime, I guess Disney XD and NickToons will pick up more anime. I really hope so.

    I think it is good because they are having most the same voice actors come back. Think of the successes of Iron Man:Armored Adventures, El Tigre, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Fantastic Four World’s Greatest Heroes, Danny Phantom, and Wolverine and The X-Men. Just give it a try, I’m sure y’all like it. Anyways This will give the next generation a chance to know DBZ but in a faster pace. Also Nick toons is different from DisneyXD.

    i am a huge fan of DZ Universe and it will be interesting to watch DBZ in HD. i watched the show countless times in japanese, spanich and english and i think the english version sucks bc they say whatever they want and not follow the original dialogue. if they are gonna show it on nick they should translate everything correctly or if they did not do it so show in japanese with english sub

  • Ronoshie

    @MichaelVaggieri

    Yes, they cut the hell out of it. Most of the filler that wasn’t in the original anime will be cut. So much that the original anime had 291 episodes and DBZ Kai will have 100. So yeah, they’ve definitely cut…. and for the better in my opinion. I mean, I see no hurt in it. If you like the filler, it’ll still be there. It’s not gonna disappear just because DBZ Kai exists. I always liked the manga better anyway.

    And I personally think Nicktoons was probably the best channel to put it on since Disney and Cartoon Network have gone down the shitter.

    this is fucking gay
    i liked the cartoonnet work voices and lines better than this
    its like they picked up every fag they could find and got them to do the voices
    the only thing they did good is put back some of the original dragonball z sceans, but they also cut out every pause and add tones of gay sound affects

    @wtflolzlolz dragonball z kai is dragonball z digitaly remasterd and a few extra sceans

    I’m actually excited to see DBZ on tv again and in a new formatted version.DBZ Kai is dealing with blu ray type graphics for its dvd box set so I am siked as for on tv I am more keen on seing it on Nicktoons than Cartoon Network because CN has gone down hill and doesn’t give a rats ass about its quality of cartoons much anymore! Pretty soon they’ll probably take adult swim off and stick more cn real shit on it but more like the hills and nonsense like that! Im hoping for the best for cartoons and cartoon stations but disney is fucking this up big time at of all of them! Please funimation,bring your channel to direct tv and other companies for good! Same goes for the anime channel.Well as for Dragon Ball Series it’s cool to see Goku in action even if its revamped specialy with the awesome graphics the have put in Kai! ^_^
