Koby Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Toei Animation has confirmed that this spring's Dragon Ball Kai re-airing of its Dragon Ball Z anime will be edited to more closely follow Akira Toriyama's original manga. The Dragon Ball Z anime series originally ran from April 1989 to January 1996 in Japan. However, since Toriyama was still serializing his manga at the same time in shorter weekly installments, the Dragon Ball Z anime expanded its story by inserting additional content. The new Dragon Ball Kai remastering will be an "Akira Toriyama original cut edition" that will quicken the story presentation and adhere more with the manga's story.The anime footage will be enhanced with the latest digital technology. This includes a new full-HD remastering from the film reels of the original run, renewed soundtracks and sound effects, and new dialogue recordings with most of the original cast. The re-airing will launch in Japan on April 5.There will be an on-stage event, "CoFesta Presents The World of Dragon Ball Strikes Back!" at the Tokyo International Anime Fair at the Tokyo Big Sight convention center on March 20. The guests will include the original voice of the main characters Son Goku and Gohan, Masako Nozawa. The event will also reveal the new opening theme song and its as-yet-unannounced singer.James Wong and 20th Century Fox's live-action film adaptation will open in Japan on March 13, and will then open in America on April 8. Viz Media published the original manga, while Funimation had commissioned a remastering of the Dragon Ball Z anime series for its recent DVD box set releases.

Koby Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 The North American anime distributor Funimation has announced the English dubbing cast of the Dragon Ball Z Kai anime series at the Katsucon event in Maryland on Sunday. Dragon Ball Z Kai's main cast will be the same as in Funimation's original English dub of Dragon Ball Z, except for four new cast members:Gohan: Colleen ClinkenbeardBulma: Monica RialNarrator: Doc MorganChiaotzu and Puar: Brina PalenciaFunimation confirmed that it will ship the first part of the series on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on May 18. Navarre Corporation, Funimation's parent company, had revealed the Dragon Ball Z Kai license earlier this month during its Q3 2010 earnings conference call.The Dragon Ball Kai television series condenses the 1989-1996 Dragon Ball Z anime series to more closely follow Akira Toriyama's original Dragon Ball manga. In addition to a digital high-definition remastering and a re-recorded soundtrack, Dragon Ball Kai also enhances selected scenes with new effects or re-animated footage. Due to the years that have passed since the broadcast of Dragon Ball Z, some of the Japanese cast members have also been replaced in Dragon Ball Kai's re-recorded dubbing.

Koby Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I heard this a couple weeks back, forgot to post it here. =P Thanks cloud1414. Good to see it being aired on TV. C-W has decided to cap and release the TV airings so I might upload them here. Although the first box-set is due out May 18th.. so I might just stick to the DVD releases as it looks like they will stay around the same episodes as the TV releases will be.

† cloud1414 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 yeah, ill probably do the dvds or a torrent. i dont want to be disappointed with it being on nick and it being edited. since its so much better uncut. it would of been better on adult swim my opinion XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I dunno... I'm not a big fan of Adult Swim only putting Anime on late night / early morning schedules and only showing Saturday night and early Sunday morning.And some people claim it's not Adult Swims fault.. but they still keep taking stuff off their schedule, not finishing it, or putting it back on re-runs. Like Naruto, it never finished there as far as I know.. but all episodes were dubbed. Moribito took nearly a complete year before they aired past episode 10, etc..

star25 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I have been a Dragonball fan for a long time. I am looking forward to seeing Dragon Ball Z Kai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I hope this does well and helps boost anime for the US. A revival of sorts, Nick isn't the Disney channel so if they do edit some parts out, which they probably will, it won't be too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
