So the first Episode of Kai aired over the weekend.

I'm a fan of the new intro/outro music, and the new background music is pretty top notch too. I'll need more time to make a better judgement on the voice actors, but the Son family are fine so far.

Not sure about the new faster apce, for most of the series, it is really needed to cut down on useless (to the plot, or character development) filler, as well as overlong stare-downs, but there were times that I felt they cut too much, and the tension/dramatic buildup was lost, changing the entire feel of a scene.

New intro outro and eye catcher animation was good, I'm not the biggest fan of the new style of art used in these animations but it's (mostly) of good quality. Some of the newly drawn segments look worse than the original versions, but overall the brighter colour palette is a nice change for the series.

It's good to see Dragonball again, even in a truncated and touched up version, but I do wonder if it would have been better for Toei to re-animate the whole series. Guess only time will tell.

Now I need to find time to watch the new Full Metal Alchemist anime...
