New Dragonball Series!?!
 


A new series of Dragonball (named ドラゴンボール改 Dragonball KAI) is to start on FujiTV on the 4th of April!

Very little is know about it atm, its all a bit hush hush, but since the kanji 改 means "revision" it seems they may be doing a bit of a remake.

Heres the teaser trailer.


Comments?

As much as I love DBZ and all, I don't understand the point of this? What kind of revision could the story have? Awhile ago they remastered every episode and released it on television, what else needs to be done?

I don't think it needs a remake, it's perfect just the way it was (is).

I just prefer it in English over it's Japanese dubbing, IMO they did a much better job.

I'll have to see what this "DB:Kai" is going to entail.

I'm a little curious, but not all that much.

Interesting comment, Kanji.

Personally I think its to combat the american LA movie since they ruined DB. They wanted to give the fans something awesome to look forward to instead of something to be embarassed about taking their girlfriend to see.

Yeah, I see your point there SHAD0W. I refuse to see that movie, looks like one of the biggest wastes of film and money I've seen in awhile.

Hopefully this "new" series that is going to be released will show people how the DB Universe is really supposed to be.

I'm sure you'll be keeping us posted.

We can only hope they don't make a mess of it too. Like, too much of a good thing, ya know?

DBZ was great, GT killed it. DBK can only go one way or the other.

Personally though, i liked the japanese verison more before I started speaking the language - i think it has more depth and feeling to it?

plus overly enthusiastic american accents do my head in - no offence to my american friends.

I never thought I'd see somebody who would be so excited over a remastered version of DBZ.

I've seen it remastered before, my friend has it downloaded...

I bet it's over 9000.

Hey, someone had to say it. :)

Hahahah good call.

From what I've gathered, it started out as a plan to simply remaster it. Higher quality video and sound. Then, someone said, "Hey, let's fix some of the funky dialogue." Then, someone else said, "While we're at it, let's take out this episode." And then it ended up as a new series.
