I scanned some pages on V-Jump released today.

Edit:
Someone on 2channel leaked a piece of information on the upcoming Shonen Jump.
He said that Freeza would appear in the first episode of Dragon Ball Kai.
And now, I got the scan confirms it. This image also says that the CD of "Dragon Soul" will be released in May.

That looks really cool! But....what is up with Goku's facial expression on Kintou'n? The redrawn artwork doesn't look so good there...

That probably was drawn by Naoyoshi Yamamuro, the one who drew covers of single DVD releases.
I hate his recent works. They're just terrible.

The faces are fine. It's the body proportions that're all messed up. Look how short Raditz looks.

Edit: OSHI- Post #2000.

Yay, Freeza in the first episode. It's probably from a flashback to Bardock stuff. Hopefully we hear "HO HOHOH OHOHO SUBARASHIIII!!!"

We have another comparison image there, and once again Toei is only showing us a scene where you lose nothing important (Literally Ground and Sky) in the cropping...
I wana see some scenes where important information is lost!! I wana see if we're really getting some extended frames, although I'm pretty sure now when you have a scene like that, they'll just crop it. A lot cheaper to remove some ground and sky or some ground and feet sometimes when it can be done as well as the few clips we've seen. But I wana see how they handle a Scene where you DON'T lose anything truly expendable during even a reframed crop...

Yeah, wasn't it pretty much already confirmed a good while back that they'd basically be doing a sort of recap on Dragon Ball, as well as what happened on Planet Vegeta? So Freeza being in the first episode was inevitable.

You must be new to sarcasm.

Hey, besides simply assuming the obvious did we have any confirmation that Tanaka, Watanabe, and Gouri were also doing Yajirobe, Pu'erh, and Great King Enma again?
well it lists them doubly as those characters now like it lists Nozawa as both of her roles. Again, obvious they were coming back for those roles too, just have it set in Stone (or a VJump page, same difference) now.

You must be new to the word "politeness". Sorry, but these posts, along with my repliy should be deleted, and you should be warned.

Really awesome promo there. I think it almost looks completely reanimated, but that's just me.

Great DBZ Abridged reference with the "nerd" thing. Made me laugh.

Proof that Toei is planning on using Dragonball to conquer the world:

EDIT: It turns out they were just using this image to illustrate how they manga has sold over 350,000,000 copies world-wide, and the anime has been broadcase in over 40 countries.

Or so they say...

Those are just promo images for the Jump issue, I think.

I'm speaking of the video from the con that was shown.
