yeah except dragon ball kai was a re-edit of dragon ball, not a ground up remake. considering the state of the industry, the fact that oda is probably still at least another 5 years from finishing the manga, and the fact that the anime is also still ongoing i really wish they'd done something original. this is like if kai started in 1994, except worse because at least dragon ball never dragged its shit out as long as one piece. or if naruto kai started at the start of the great shinobi war

it's one piece, it'll almost certainly be good. but one piece already exists. if you want a good version of the east blue arc (which i'm sure is all this wit anime is going to cover before taking at least a year long break) read the manga! i don't need to see luffy fight arlong in modern sakuga
