Ajay confirmed the movie retellings will only be 6 episodes each, so I'm fine with it.

Your favorite anime, Dragon Ball Super, is also getting a (kind of) remake later this year. I'm so happy for you. :mrgreen:

Really? That's amazing if true. Also, is Crunchyroll going to redub this remaster like with Kai? Is Japan redubbing it?

Remaster seems more accurate than remaking. They’re just giving it the Kai treatment

Remake of... Specifically Battle of Gods?? The arc that already has a beautifully done movie?

But they show SS3 Goku fighting Beerus on King Kai's planet and not SS4 Goku, so I'm like what's the point?

Iyoku right now saying they redid all the cuts. An "ENHANCED edition" per Iyoku. Also there is a certain story aspect that was left out of the original version but will be included this time. Interesting...

Why?
It makes sense.
Old Super looks like shit at the start. And they want new fans caught up before Super 2 comes back. It makes sense commercially to do this.
Is it important to get fans caught up? On a series that most people started at the halfway point? I guess the target audience for this might be "People who watched Dragon Ball Z but never saw Dragon Ball Super" but in that case are we going to redo all of it and then the original will be discarded?

So instead of the current convoluted watch order of "Watch Battle of Gods, then Resurrection F, then the rest of Super, then Broly movie, then Super Hero" or just "Watch Dragon Ball Super, then Broly movie, then Super Hero" we may be working toward the slightly more convoluted "Watch DBS Beerus, DBS Golden Freeza, DBS U6, DBS Goku Black, DBS Tournament of Power, DBS Broly, DBS Galactic Patrol, DBS Granolah, DBS Super Hero, etc."

Or is this supposed to be like a one off? Like how there's those One Piece OVAs like "Episode of Skypeia" or whatnot.

If it is a remake of the full series I'm curious to see what they do with the later arcs, especially Tournament of Power. We didn't need to spend like 10 episodes on Goku going to each fighter and saying "Will you join the tournament?" I have a feeling that arc can be trimmed down to something which is surprisingly short.

Either way I will watch and hopefully there are some cool fight scenes to come out of it. I'm interested to see what the new story element is.

Nope. Thank fuck. We don't need a 3rd.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

Would there be a point in a redub? I feel like the only reason Kai was redubbed in Japan is because Toei wanted it in stereo and that wasn’t an option with Z. Seems totally unnecessary for Super Kai.

Toei just remembered that they have the keys to Dragon Ball :o :lol:

It was only a matter of time. It makes sense to revisit those old arcs and do them justice. Although I'm a little apprehensive about the possibility of a remake of Fukkatso no F.
Just sit here and waste your precious time. When you want to do something, don't do it right away. Don't do it when you can. Read my posts instead. It's the only way to live a life without regrets.

All of it, starting with 6 episodes for BOG and 6 for RF.

The first thing you said, I think they def want to rebrand Super, and make a "Super: arc name" for each arc, it would be weird if it was just a one off

It'll only be 6 episodes, so we can let it slide.

Why do you say remaster instead of remake? It looks like they are reanimating it? I didn't see if they're keeping the old voices or not but if it's all new animation then that's a remake, no?

I never thought I would say this, but I'm actually hyped and optimistic about Super, a show that I have thought for the longest time was more often than not wasted potential. Iyoko and everyone involved delivered far better than I thought they ever could. DRAGON BALL IS BACK!!!.

I suppose they will record new voices for any new scenes that will be added to this remaster.

In Kai's case, everything had to be re-recorded because Toei had long since thrown away the multitrack voice recordings and couldn't use the already mixed audio from Z.

Most of it will be retraced and re-framed, so it's not a ground up remake. With that said, there will be some new scenes here and there. It's basically Kai on steroids.

Mistarefusion gets to review a FOURTH version of Battle of Gods. :lol:

Super is finally being treated with the respect that a sequel for Dragon Ball deserves. No more jumping back and fourth from movies, anime, and manga, we are finally getting one consistent version from start to finish.

I can imagione this Battle of Gods remake on par with the One Piece Fishman Island arc where the animation got touched up and cut to be more lean.

They are not reanimating it at all, it's an enhanced edition of the old tv show, like what Toei did with Fishman Island.
The shots and angles are 1 to 1 with the Super ones, just better drawn. It's like a DB Super KAI.
