Possibility of anime reboot with new seiyu...

[MasenkoHA]

but I saw a lot of people saying that they prefer Schemmel's voice over hers as Goku.

And their opinions really don’t matter so.....

How very elitist of you...

It’s not elitist in the slightest but whatever you need to tell yourself.

The topic isn't about rebooting Toriyama's manga, but remaking the anime. Think of HunterXHunter's 2011 anime reboot compared to its 1999 version.

Didn’t they already try and fail spectacularly with that in DB Kai?

Kai's not really a remake. It's just a recut with new music and the dialog re-recorded. It's as much of a remake as the 1996 Funi syndicated dub of Dragon Ball Z was.

I also wouldn't say it failed spectacularly. It clearly proved there was enough interest in Dragon Ball still for Battle of Gods and eventually Resurrection F and Super. I think people use the fact that it was "cancelled" as some excuse but from the beginning it was announced that the plan was to do 100 episodes so they were pretty much always set on just adapting Saiyan-Cell arcs and then later decided to do Boo for international audiences before using a truncated version for Japanese broadcast when another show (Toriko?) failed.

That's not to say Dragon Ball Kai was good or worthwhile or warrants existence or didn't have problems. But it didn't "fail spectacularly"

You're right about Kai not being a failure, as it was always in the top 10 viewed anime each week. It however didn't move any merchandise or video games, which resulted in it being cut short. It being planned as a 100 episodes from the start was just a rumor, and more of fans' hopes rather than a reality.

No it was announced before a single episode aired in Japan that it would be around 100 episodes

I’m sure lackluster toy sales cemented that it wasn’t going to get more episodes (until it did anyways) but the plan was always around 100 episodes.

It was announced before a single episode aired in Japan that it would be around 100 episodes.

"While not in the above announcement, other (unsourced) reports are noting that the number of episodes is being reduced from 291 to approximately 100".

100 episodes wasn't in the announcements, nor were the reports linked to any reliable source.
