Dragon Ball filler is a mixed bag. The one off episodes are often really enjoyable character building stuff, but then there's trash like Garlic Junior. You also can't forget the pacing filler of random shots to wildlife running away while Goku and ___ stand and talk for five minutes.

Now that the Coolio avatar fad is over, why not listen to Saiyan's Paradise?

I don't follow DB close, but I just heard of this

What the fuck? Is this fanmade? I try googling, but there's so much bullshit in between I can't find any reliable sources to believe

bullshit. Hoshi is a youtube meme associated with any new animation for the series. That video is a Bardock OVA released last year, has nothing to do with a new series.
Some of those are so bad. I never noticed the bad animation days as a kid, but now... just terrible.

It's official but not a new series. Since 08 there's been 3 20-30 minute specials and that's one of them.

Goddamn.
What's happening here? Who are the people being named?
It's something that would irk me when watching the series, particularly given how big of a disparity there was in quality. Very interesting read especially providing more in depth information than a casual observer may know.

Different animators responsible for the art/animation in the episodes.
Fantastic. I always noticed this and its cool to get some more in depth, behind the scenes type info about it. Ive always been curious about this.

Thank you! Was driving me insane
You should also watch Yo! Son Goku and his friends return!
It's another DBZ special done in the past few years. It's pretty much canon, too, since it's a one-shot that doesn't contradict anything.

Wait, I thought people already know that anime episodes and scenes have been animated by different people.
If it wasn't for watching Naruto (I don't watch anime often and just started watching Naruto a year or two ago) I wouldn't have known about different artists managing certain episodes. I surely noticed, but I never understood why until I researched it.
I have to say, I really dislike it when it cuts to low quality animation after using the real nice ones. Like where Gohan first turns Super Saiyan 2 it has the quality animation for that episode, but the next episode goes back to the lower quality one during his transformation.
It'd certainly be nice if they did a remake with modern art advances and software with only the higher quality artists, but it'd be expensive I'm sure.

Old Fil-Eng dubs are pretty good.
One of the voice actors voices Jack Bauer
lmao @ the "cyan" comments, don't they know that's the proper pronunciation

Stills of the episode tell only half of the story, animation is also so much worse in the right side images.
In the other hand, there are also quite a few neat moments from time to time even in not the best looking episodes. In episode 284 for instance:
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Yeah that looks like crap, really my only complaint about Kai.
Well that and the ending was dumb.
The redone scenes look better later on though. They're placed in during a lot of action, you can tell they're new but the don't look horrible like that.

I didn't expect to see stuff like this in DBZ kai.
Dear god... Was this done in MSpaint? Otherwise I like the new edit.
Between this shit and the jumping between radically different animation teams mid episode, Kai is unwatchable for me.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Oh yeah that too.
In the beginning of the episode Piccolo looks great. Then after the eye catch he looks like he's from mid DB.

someone fandub'd the whole super saiyan bardock OVA.

Bardock and Freeza's VA are spot on , pretty impressive.

Edit: ^That's atrocious.
Haters to the left. Gohan was awesome.
Absolutely, Teen Gohan is my top.
My opinion of Kai can be summed up by spending 7-8 minutes watching the entirety of both of these videos.

Not bad, but to me personally, the original was done completely on another level. I liked some of quality in Kai, but Vegeta sounded a lot better during that segment.

It's like... who fucking talks like that?
Redone dub was the bestest part about Kai.

Agreed. Funi Dub has Vegeta sounding constipated, the Kai dub is definitely a step up, but Abridged Vegeta is best Vegeta.
I agree that specific line was off, it was only until a few episodes later where the Vegeta voice became perfect to me. (hence the Final Flash video) There are a few lines in the Frieza saga like that as well.
The Final Flash done in Kai doesn't really sound like Vegeta, just a random person muffling.
I also liked the old dialogue, but that's just me. I think the dialogue used in the original dub has more of an impact, while having a bit more charisma.

Android 19 sounds awful in both, couldn't they have tried to make him sound menacing? Both versions sound like a little kid, but at least the first one adds the robotic flang.
I hated when they switched from the pioneer voice actors to the crappy off the street local talent (happened when Goku started fighting the Ginyu Force). Vegeta sounded particularly bad because (on top of crappy acting) he was trying to mimic the "rasp" of the original ocean/pioneer voice actor.
I love the delivery of the "You wont escape my wrath" line. Vegeta never had the same flavor even though the new voice actor got better in subsequent redubs.

I remember junior high and a lot of people being turned off by Buu's idiotic voice. He already was childish and pushing the limit, the voice just made people less accepting of DBZ.
Is this from the remastered funimation? Because this sounds a lot better than that link Panda posted.

That animation article is nice.
I remember going back to watch Goku vs Piccolo for the first time right after coming off the Cell Games. The difference in animation quality between those 2 particular eras of the series was staggering, and it wasn't obvious until I watched them back to back like that.
