theres like 300 episodes. condensing it is going to make it awesome.

inuyasha could use a remake like this cause i swear theres only like 52 episodes of material. and the Band of 7 filler arc was better than any arc in the show.

the manga went longer. I forgot the ending of it though

Have you read the Shonan Junai Gumi manga? It's about Onizuka when he was younger. That shit is hilarious

In response to Reply # 32


  

          

Shonan Junai-gumi (released 1990-1996)
deals with the Oni-Baku (Demon Explosion) duo, consisting of Eikichi Onizuka and Ryuji Danma, and their quest to lose their virginity and reach maturity. They are widely feared bōsōzoku, and are known for their tenacity and viciousness in a fight. However, this lifestyle does not exactly endear them to the opposite gender, so they decide to change their ways. However, this is easier said than done. As the story unfolds, we meet the Oni-Baku's wide range of friends and foes, and the crazy situations they all get into. The story is initially a gag manga, but more serious issues present themselves as it continues, eventually striking a balance similar to that of GTO (which this manga predates).

Bad Company(1996)
one volume prequel to Shonan Junai Gumi which was followed by the better known series Great Teacher Onizuka
Bad Company is made up of two parts, each dedicated in part to how Onizuka and Ryuuji meet and get their motorcycles.


and then you have GTO

Toei JUST released Dragonball on DVD a year and a half ago in sets called "Dragonboxes" Box 1 was the entire Dragonball show, 2 was DBZ, and 3 was GT. Those were way better than the latest Season sets that Funimation released

http://daizex.com/misc_stuff/dragonball_kai_vjump.jpg

"The opening stuff is the standard fare we have come to expect from the earlier announcements (like "Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the Start of Dragon Ball Z's Broadcast!" and "The Son Goku Legend, Once More!! And its name is... DRAGON BALL KAI"). However, the interesting material appears under the header "The four points that make up the world of "Kai"!":

The story will be developed speedily!
"Kai" starts from the invasion of the Saiyans. This version will be re-edited to hew more closely to Akira Toriyama's original story, so the story's development will progress all the faster!

The opening and ending songs will be completely renewed!!
The opening and ending songs will together be made anew! Furthermore, in "Kai", the background music will be newly recorded. Let's enjoy "Kai", where even the music has been powered up!!

Through digital processing, the image will be made vibrant!!
All the grime, damage and noise remaining on the "Z" film will be removed! In HD, the image will be even clearer. We've carefully made the ultra-powerful "Kai" world even more impressive!

An all-star voice cast will record the lines anew!!
The original main cast, centered around Masako Nozawa as Son Goku, will reunite, yo. They'll breathe life into the characters again, to support their appeal!! "

all charged up, maybe they can cut it down a bit?

That was always the biggest annoyance I had with the show, how fucking long it took everything to develop. I like the idea of trimming it to the essentials

the anime had a TON of filler which gained it all the jokes people have for it

but damn. Masako "Gokuu" Nozawa went from being a "also-ran" voice actress (she played the equivalent to Voltron's "Pidge" in GoLion among some other roles)...to straight up EATIN' off Kakarott and friends for almost 25 years. Damn.

Wonder who will play Tenshinhan, his voice actor passed away in '06 (big up Hajime Saito, Starscream and Bright freakin' Noa).

I'm hoping that with the new special doing so well (People had to wait days to watch it on Jumpland.com because so many people around the world were watching and downloading it), the new movie, and with this new version, that maybe a new series could be on the horizon like it's been rumored

In response to Reply # 25


  

          

it actually ethered DBGT, ITDO -- since it seemed more true to "Dragon Ball" life than that series (which is a glorified fanfiction...or a full-length series of "filler episodes").

Vegeta's brother was funny as hell. They had fighting, but they remembered the thing that made Dragon Ball what it is -- it's funny as hell.

26. "RE: Wonder how and what's gonna get cut"
In response to Reply # 23


  

          

Yeah if they cut the filler the show could easily be 100 episodes. Of course I wouldn't be mad if they cut everything after the Cell Saga.

Fun is the new gritty

DragonBall Kai Details Posted by: Hujio
Saturday, February 21st, 2009 @ 11:58 AM CST


After leaking the Jump Anime Tour Special character sheets and breaking the news of a DragonBall Z "refresh," I think we can trust our inside man Wasted Wisher. Since the announcement of the "refresh," there has been some speculation as to what exactly DragonBall Kai will be like. So, here are a few things Wasted Wisher has told us will be in the upcoming first episode:

* A brief look at the last moments of Bardock and Planet Vegeta.
* An overview of DragonBall, from Goku's younger years up until his triumph over Piccolo at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai.
* The all-too-brief and yet still somewhat triumphant return of "FARMER WITH A SHOTGUN!"
* Goku's winky has disappeared! That's right, no more Goku frontal nudity. But don't worry, they won't do anything so blatant as to digitize tighty-whiteys on him.

Hopefully some more details will surface as we get closer to April 5th, but at least now we have a little better idea of what's coming our way.

38. "MORE info"
In response to Reply # 0

On March 20th, Fuji TV and Toei Animation held a preview of DragonBall Kai as part of the Tokyo International Anime Fair. Saeki Kenji, of "Game Watch", was in attendance and has posted up a nice run-down of the event.


http://www.kanzentai.com/uploads/dbk/fuji_01.jpg


Some of our favorite seiyuu were in attendance, including Tanaka Mayumi (Krillin), Nozawa Masako (Son Goku), and Furukawa Toshio (Piccolo), shown from left to right in the back row. Also in attendence was Tanimoto Takayoshi, the vocalist for DragonBall Kai's new opening and ending themes. Fans, dressed up as Piccolo and Goku, even got the opportunity to get up on stage, saying "they got goosebumps hearing the seiyuu's voices in person". And although Toriyama wasn't there in person, he did make an official statement in his typical non-committal way.

I wonder how the DragonBall anime will be improved in 2009? I'm looking forward to it!
- Toriyama Akira

The seiyuu eventually talked about their record sessions for DragonBall Kai, and here's a little of what they had to say:

* "This was a performance that swallowed up my life; I remember being stressed when we first started recording." - Tanaka Mayumi
* "I'm now a fan of this series myself." - Furukawa Toshio
* Though it's been 13 years since they last recorded, "It doesn't feel like it's been that long." - Nozawa Masako
* "The tempo is very fast, so Goku is already dead by episode 2." - Tanaka Mayumi


Tanaka-san's last statement seems a little strange, considering that the DragonBall Kai episode titles revealed in V-Jump suggest that Goku doesn't die until episode 3 or 4. We're assuming this is simply a mistake on Tanaka's part, but we'll give her pass on this one, since she's now probably very busy recording both Krillin and Luffy (One Piece). If it turns out she's right, it'll make things quite interesting, as the series will be progressing at a much faster rate than anyone had anticipated.

As a special bonus, Toei gave a presentation on the remastering process used for the new series, including a comparison between their own DVD releases (on the left) and their HD remastering of DragonBall Kai (on the right). We're not exactly sure what all they talked about, or for that matter how much detail they went into, but I would have loved to been there to ask some questions... or at least have been a fly on the wall. Here's that same shot of Goku just before he transforms into a Super Saiya-jin, as taken from episode 95 of the "Dragon Box Z Vol. 1". The screen shot itself has just been re-sized, with no color correction.

You'll notice that HD frame has been extended to the right, so it now shows Goku's shirt. I'm assuming the shot has been re-framed, but it's hard to tell exactly how much has been cut from the top. If anything, it confirms they'll at least being going up to Goku's Super Saiya-jin transformation, though, we pretty much already knew that.

Cutting down to 100 eps would solve a lot of my issues with the series.

Does this combine both Dragonball AND Dragonball Z together? Or just the latter?
