I thought this was terribly interesting.

* 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

I think this is the only anime in existence where cutting out 191 episodes of filler actually would work. No more staring contests, screaming, endless flashbacks, etc.
 
That's great news, WPM. Thanks for sharing. :3

I agree: the cut downs would be great for the reasons you've listed. xD It'll make some of the episodes feel more full, for sure. Though, I'll miss watching them scream at each other and wishing they'd just fight. :p
 
Yeah, I heard about this recently, it's quite an exciting thought!

I'm a huge Dragon Ball fan, so I know I'll be watching. =D
 
No!!! Why would they do that?! It was a good thing it was gone! I really hate it! Its too corny. If they made it more serious, instead of "Oh im sorry i failed the world cause, my stupid Klameha thing or whatever didnt work."
 
Full Moon how is DBZ corny? I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S CORNY!... POKEMON!, DBZ IS AWESOME! DON'T DISS IT!
 
Oh my god. I cannot tell you how many times I've watched an episode of DBZ and had them just.... TALK TO EACH OTHER for 15 minutes... and then the fighting actually starts (but usually it doesn't) and then after 10 seconds of that, you hear that telltale music at the end of the episode... argh.

Cool to see they're fixing it up.
 
Meh, it was a good idea to shorten the episodes. The battles last too long, and the endless talking irritates me.
Also, when the battle starts, the episode ends because of those endless talking or such.
 
I'm all for them clipping the episodes as they were way too filler heavy (I'm not a fan of the original non-comic episodes they created either). I just hope they don't clip the fights as those were the best part.
 
I'm going to miss the old ones. Yes they were terribly boring, but they were classic 10-second fights. Like that gogeta ss4vs. omega shenron. I just can't imagine those gone
 
Awsome, some new DBZ. First the movie, now the re-airing of the series. Too much. (In a good way!)
I, personally, have always liked the way the battle and talk scenes run. It makes it that much more interesting. Can't wait to see my boy Vegeta again.
 
I thought the Frieza battle ran too long. How many episodes was it?
 
And thus, the reairing of the non filler DBZ anime will once again reign supreme over anyother anime now airing in Japan. Long live DBZ!!!
Can't wait till we get them in English stateside and on Blu-ray disc!!!

The Super Saiyan vs Frieza part was over 20 episodes.

Click to expand...

We pretty much have that though.

Remastered and Uncut Box Sets. Japan didn't have it until now though.
