- The DBZ TV series is receiving an extensive "refresh" for Japanese television airing

- This is a celebration of the 20th anniversary of DBZ

- While based on the original animation production, it is being updated with new technology

- This includes extending the frames for formatting on an HD 16:9 display (note: not cropping the image)

- The original Japanese cast is re-grouping to re-voice the show (where available, and unfortunately not including those that have passed on, such as Hirotaka Suzuoki [Tenshinhan])

- Sound effects are being updated

- Unlike the general show, the OPs and EDs are being completely redone
     
- While not in the above announcement, other reports are noting that the number of episodes is being reduced from 291 to approximately 100

- This begins 05 April 2009 @ 9 am
Source

discuss.

Eh. I'm dense.

I probably won't notice any important difference...

Youtube'll go nuts over this, tho. Dividing DBZ episodes into "old," "new," and "Yes, we give a [tornado fang], you codgers."

Wrong Dragon Ball, Subby. Unless you know something we don't, like DBZ live-action movie -_-

can you imagine? 8D
down to 100? so theyre gonna cut out all that excessive episode long screaming and powering up?
...But those are important plot points! D:

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

This. That episode was easily the funniest of the entire series.

DBK said to follow more closely the manga's pacing.

Which interests me.  Are you?

That sounds stupid.

I think it has a nice ring to it. Could have been worse. Like Dragon Ball X. Or Dragon Ball Xtreeeeeeeme.

Or Dragon Ball AF!  8D

But seriously the remake sounds like a good to me at least, just as long as the fights are shorter and don't extend to every eight episodes.
