- 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

Hell yes.
-
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."
-

How about half of the episodes gone?
-
I hope it's based on the movie.
-
Wrong Dragon Ball, Subby. Unless you know something we don't, like DBZ live-action movie -_-
-
I hope it's based on the 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:

You do know that most of those episodes were fillers, right?

QFFT, nothing else needs to be said.

I'm gonna murder someone if they cut the driver's license episode.

it was a joke.

Don't be fooled; they're still on Namek for 75 episodes. :P

This. That episode was easily the funniest of the entire series.
-
I'm going to raise the shields and prepare for a shitstorm on this one.
-
100 episodes...
...I shall wait till' the first episode, then I'll see from there if I want to watch the next 99 episodes of DRAGON BALL ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

That sounds stupid.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-03-02/toei-confirms-dragon-ball-kai-is-edited-to-follow-manga
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.
-
DRAGON BAAAAALL EEEEEKKKKSSSS!!!!
-
Doragon Bouru Ekkusu (Ekkusuturiimu)!!
-
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.

Beautiful! O^O

That's a nice way to start an anniversary of a show that's been for awhile now, good start. Let's see if they can clean out any pontentail errors they had in the origional series..

So, will the intro look better than the actual episodes?

Immensely! From what I understand, it's basically a re-release of DBZ, but they cut out a lot of the filler.
-
Is it bad that I cheered when I saw Farmer with Shotgun? That pretty much validated the whole show for me.
Also, it seems the actual episodes are just the originals touched up to look better (animation was cleaned up, destroyed cels redrawn, grain removed, etc.) I admit I was expecting a redrawn series similar to how the opening was, but I can't say I'm disappointed.
Also, I loved the little summary of Bardock and DB at the start of the episode.
-

Well same here, that's my definition of "remake".
But now that I think about it, it's good the way it is. Anime nowadays doesn't seem as appealing as it once used to be. Many animes seem far too clean to me. Older stuff IS grainy and dirtier... but it has a charm to it. I liked that.
-
Well, at least a certain character with a split personality disorder makes a comback, Launch, but could be for eye candy.. >.>
And it could be STM, but then it might be a series re-write. Time to cut the crap outta that fur, folks!
-
So I just wantched the opening of DBK and my God, the nostalgia rush. XD
Something that the opening really showed me though is that the first arc of the series was the best in terms of details with the fighting animations. I was rewatching some of the older DBZ episodes & movies recently and noted it, but never really came to a conclusion until I saw this.
Also, farmer with shotgun... XD
-

What can the farmer defend his property? his rake? That's gotta be funny. I bet Launch gets edited into the episodes, because she was lacking even though she was a major character, to please the fanboys.
-

The rush is bigger when you notice how they reference the old intro in the new intro, it was freaking sweet.
-
Even the ED is full of nostalgia, oh my! This is gonna be a good re-watch.
-
You know, watching this makes me really wish that the DBZ: BT3 game had playable online matches, or that they make a DBZ: BT4 with playable online matches.
That, and I so love the Kaioken Attack.
-
I guess you'd class BT3's current online system as largely unplayable? =P
-
Pretty much, unless it's improved from the last time I attempted it! XD
-

Hell yes, that'll sure as hell make it more watchable.
-
But that means less constipation.

Guess they were given a diet of prune juice this time 8D
-
Interesting... that new opening is pretty sweet.
The concept of Dragonball Z without the rampant filler and plot stalling that makes it so notorious is definitely an interesting one.
-
Older stuff IS grainy and dirtier... but it has a charm to it. I liked that.
I know what you mean.
"all because its newer doesnt mean its better."
the older grainy stuff has I dunno... a feeling of more depth to it, if you know what i mean.
-
It is going to be difficult to imagine Dragonball Z with 100 episodes to be honest but I will watch the remake. Now onto Sailor Moon! 8D
-
I'm half and half on this one, I've always wanted to see a better version of DBZ and this suffices.
Also 100 episodes, I really liked some of the filler episodes, I guess I'll just have to wait and see how good it is.
Though I can always just watch the older episodes, it's not like they're going away. =P
The intro did kick ass.
Reminded me of the Budokai game openings!
-
after reading this (http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Filler).
100 episodes doesn't seem so farfetched 8D
-
I just hope the filler where Goku and Piccolo learn to drive does NOT get cut out. That single episode made most of the series for me. XD
-

I agree as well. That episode is priceless!
"EAT MY DUST, PICCOLO!"
"WAS THAT A CHALLENGE??"

Didn't we already promise to murder whoever decided to cut it if that happened just one page ago? It still deserves to be repeated though =P

That episode is so [tornado fang]ing awesome this deserves to be mentioned on each page of this thread.
I still haven't found the goddamn episode number to try to get it somewhere though. :P

Talk about luck, it's the post that opens the third page. XD

Before the next episode comes, I must type, "99 Episode left in DRAGON, BALL, KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIII!"

Ah, the memories! I think I have it on tape, still one of the best fillers out there.
-

"I'd better bring my pea-shooter." I get a kick out of videos where people cut different scenes together to make it look as if the farmer defeats major villains from the series with only his shotgun. "Get off my property..." Bonus points if they end with the farmer fanning himself with his hat, "Hoo-eee..."
-
Haha, it's actaully pretty sad how we have to wait for all episodes to be released like this. I've never really been around when an extremely long anime's been aired. Kai is supposedly shorter than the original but still pretty long, I take it.
How long will it take before it's done airing?

If you count the movies (yea, I can remember the Broly Trilogy, Cooler Saga (Revenge and Meta), Tree of Might, Android 18, etc), then yea, it would take long to finish aring it.
-

Give or take about 2 years at least.
-
I'd say a good 25 months or so, if my calculations are correct (given Golden Week once a year and all that).
-
can't complain about that~
-
HEY GUYS SO WHAT'S UP WITH THIS ANIME? It looks like shitty rip-off of Naruto. And the animation is BAAAAD. Tough, I am kind of interested.
Who was that guy who destroyed that planet where was this Goku look-alike? you guys seem to know a lot, even tough it's the first time this animoo is airing. Does it have a manga, or something?
-
Yeah there is a Manga, but it sucks. The main character is a little boy who isn't even blonde. And he has a tail.
Pffft how dumb is that?

ITT The entire legacy of Dragonball was [tornado fang]'d up even before they made the Live Action movie. Blame the majority of the fanbase.
I'd like to see some scans.

[parasitic bomb], what does that even have to do with Dragonball Kai? It must be some shitty spin-off series or something.
Also, I think that guy who destroyed the planet will be the final boss. I mean, HE DESTROYED A [tornado fang]ing PLANET! This guy must be the final enemy that Goku will defeat. I mean, there can't be anyone stronger than that guy, isn't it?
-
Which guy?! A large majority of the DBZ characters can destroy planets and even galaxies.
-
...
Fail.

By popular vote would be Broly or Buu.

Except that my post was directed at the one right before it, and by extension, yours now.

Yeah, that's the final boss. All the guys after him are just bonus bosses; they're not as strong. I mean, they came up with this bug guy named Cell, and I think they beat him in like 1 episode while they were training to fight the Creepy Twins.

You sure you're not confusing this with Black Lagoon or something? :P

Looks like fillers are not the only thing getting edited...
-
Wut.
How the crap does getting shot through the stomache only leave a little brusing?
Kai lost some points for me, and I haven't seen it yet.
-
Watched ep.3
ya know, despite of those two things being edited (and maybe that hilarious blood circle of Piccolo's purple blood), it was still very entertaining, and I remember this fight taking an average 2 episodes. Not bad.
-
What? They are editing the blood and other nice things?
TEN POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!

I remember Freeza being sliced in half (arms and lower body), I think "Kai"'s going to "fix" that, or just trying to be like GT and stuff, moreso like Bleach and Naruto (you know, some animu are litterally trying to water down the gore and blood in thier beloved series).
Anyway, how's the OST so far?
