All of the scenes that were being worked on so far are not being cropped...in fact, quite the reverse, they're being extended. The old format of the original footage is too small to fit the standard frame sizes used for anime nowadays. So all the artwork has to be extended outwards to fit the new frame sizes; this includes both the animation itself and the background art.
That's a huge undertaking.

So this means a lot of reworked art? Cause they can't be so little professional that they just extend the picture, or can they?

I might have missed it, but what is your soruce kei? I'm not saying it's false, but I saw you got stuff from jump before...
So how do you get those?
Do you work for them shonen jump? I thought about the same with the one piece spoilers comming out before the magazine.

The image put in the first post of this thread is from 2 channel, the biggest Japanese Internet forum. There are poeple leak some pieces of information on Weekly Jump being released in the next week in that site. Other scans are done by me, since I am a native Japanese and living in Japan.

In addition, the image I put this time is not from Weekly Jump. It's V Jump and already released.

I honestly have no idea how you would go about doing something like this.

I prefer The Time Traveller's logo, myself.

It is called to stretch image in order to fit 16:9. I just wanted to make totally sure this will not happen.

Edit:
Another page I haven't scanned yet says that they will carry Manga version of 2008 Special on V Jump. It's not drawn by Akira Toriyama.

Hellz yeah. Is the mangaka for the special anybody we'd know? Do they say who it is?

Oh yeah, I know they could do that, but I doubt that's it... That would look weird. Who knows, though? The other way is a ridiculous amount of work.

Mangaka is オオイシナホ (Ooishi Naho), who never drawn manga under this name.

Finally some confirmation.

For some reason, I'm reading "cut most of fillers" as "the driving episode is still here."

Because it had a more electric look? That was from all the extra black on their, and I thought EVERYTHING other than the obvious red and yellow stuff was meant to be blue.

Also, here's a PNG version of the logo for those who want to use it and don't want to bother working around that AWESOME scan kei17 posted.

It's not the one of those fancy coloured bunches of paper?

I actually got carlsen (Danish, German, Sweedish and norway manga puplisher) to ask Shueisha if they would puplish any book format thing about the special, and they said no... But...

And then, How do they keep getting the scans on those forums? Don't the jump puplichers care about it being leaked? or is it the puplishers who leaks it? (I mean, week after week, for years...)
And could you scan it for us?

Sweetness. I wish they'd clarify whether they're only speeding up the beginning of the Saiya-jin saga, or if they really are going to condense the entire show?

The tittle of Dragon Ball Z Story for Nintendo DS has also changed to "Dragon Ball Kai: Saiyajin Shuurai".

And here, the page about Manga of DBZ 2008 Special.
This will be released on March 21st.

Have I ever told you how awesome you are kei17?

JulieYBM · Post by **JulieYBM** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 2:00 pm

I'm.....going to need an avatar of that Vegeta with the scouter.

Awesomeness. For the next two years we'll be able to experience the thrill of weekly releases not seen since the actual broadcasting of the series in Japan.

Haha, I'm next to Vegeta! But seriously, what's with that B? What doe the kanji say on it?

And next to Majin Vegeta's smirk, that's got to be the best Vegeta art I've seen of him. I'd love a full body sheet of that, maybe as a poster.

So is this how future products will be now? with Kai in it's name? It feels to me like Toei is completely ridding the Z.
