What is the difference between Dragon Ball Kai and Dragon Ball Z

Dragon Ball Z, the anime, was making new episodes at the same time the manga was being created. So, the anime had to have filler episodes with just talking, more fighting, more charging, more struggling, nothing really happened because they made new episodes quicker than the manga.

They recently redid the show called Dragon Ball Z Kai, which is the same show except that they just took out the filler episodes. They used the same animation but redid the voices with the same voice actors (for the most part).

If you want to get into the Dragon Ball series, I recommend the redone version, Dragon Ball Z Kai.
