I can understand some people not liking very much the pacing the original Dragon Ball Z due the excessive amount of filler episodes (I think some of those filler episodes were good, like the one where Goku and Piccolo get their drivers license) but I must confess the pacing of Dragon Ball Z Kai is a bit rushed at moments, diminishing the tension and dramatic impact of several parts of the story.
In addition to that, there is a certain level of censorship that tones down the violence of some scenes, in order to make the series more (modern) kid-friendly.
To get things worse, in my country the dub changed several of the voices, and the new choices were not as good as the original Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z counterparts: Fortunately, most of the original cast finally returns for the Majin Bu saga, which also has a better pacing, being way less rushed than all the previous sagas (which at moments feel like recaps)
For those who.can't stand fillers, this series probably is "better" than the "dated" original, but I think something is missing here, which is part of the charm of the classic Dragon Ball Z.
