Technically, isn't the entire series being "redrawn?" I mean looking at that one YouTube clip, it looks like each frame is being redrawn for DBKai with some slight movements of the camera accordingly and some bits added to the sides.
Nobody ever said every frame was getting redrawn.
Funny thing about that is, why would they re-draw the in-between animation in HD while just cropping and upscaling the rest? Wouldn't that make everything that's moving look beautiful while everything that was still look blurry?

It makes sense that if they're re-drawing the in-between stuff (like in the video on the Kai tidbits page) that they'd also be re-drawing the rest.

Thank you very much!!

Here are all of the character cards from the Kai website. Are Gohan, Goku, Piccolo and Vegeta the only new designs?

Oh ya, I think it's pretty funny that they call "Chi-Chi" "titi" in the URL for her card. :lol:

Wow, those character cards look awful, what with mixed new and old images, the drastic difference in style between them, and some characters' whole bodies aren't shown while some are.

I'm getting really amped for this and really want to get a good look at Dragon Soul, gotta remember to look up when 9 AM in Japan is here...

I took a screenshot from the latest Kai promo video of the same frame (or at least within one or two frames) of the screenshot Fuji provided us with. Here's Hujio's Dragon Box/Kai promo image comparison and the same screenshot from the latest released footage:

You can see from Goku's hands that my screenshot is one or two frames early, but it does show that Gohan was not, and will not be, where he is in the Fuji TV image; so Hujio's theory seems to be completely correct!

What time was it airing again? I live on the East Coast of the US, and someone sent me a program that should be better than keyhole tv was.

Which program was it?

Dragonball Kai should start Saturday at 8PM EST.

Speaking of KeyHole TV, is anyone else not getting Fuji TV through it?

Actually, I don't see Fuji TV anymore either... wonder what happened, it's always been there when the time comes to watch One Piece...

Yeah, every time as of late it has been M.I.A... I hope that either A.) They restore the channel in time for Dragonball Kai, or B.) I find a better program to watch.

A buddy at school told me of a "better" program that he uses to watch some Gundam anime, and that he ditched Keyhole in favor of it, but I can't recall it's name.

KeyHole's listing changes once in a while, but usuall goes back to normal after a little bit, but Fuji TV has been missing for a couple of days now... what is that program you mentioned Velasa?

TVAnts has much better quality than Keyhole TV, both visually and audibly. You can download it at http://tvants.en.softonic.com/download and copy-paste this link (tvants://list.tvants.com/tvants/?k=b8169561515263ca67a79bd632ed8816) into your browser to access Fuji TV. It may take a while, but it works. I recommend doing it five minutes beforehand. Dragon Ball Kai airs at 8 PM EST on Saturday night . 9 AM Sunday morning in Japan, I believe.

I feel all helpful now. <3

That is one nice logo. X3


Also, if they were to fuse, I fear Luku's appetite would be insatiable. :shock:


I'm gonna be at work Saturday night too; so...yah, I'll find other ways to see it. ^^; Its not like the only way is through Keyhole.

Chances are I just told you.

God damn it, I keep hitting Preview instead of Submit.
