Discussion specifically regarding the "refreshed" TV version of DBZ created in Japan for its 20th anniversary, including individual threads for each episode.

Of course, they have the money, mind you. They have it in spades. But they're misers.
This. I would love to see Kai get better animation as it currently just decent (excluding the MS paint sections). But it's never going to happen/
Toei shocks the entire Kanzenshuu website. Boo Arc Kai is taking long before Boo Arc was re-animated.
Ultimate Tenkaichi reanimated a few scenes.

Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.
I said Boo ARC not just 2 scenes(Why the hell wasn't Vegeta Suicide and Goku SSJ3 not animated >_>). But seriously. That would be shocker of the year. Especially if it's only over-seas

Oh sorry. I don't know maybe they thought those moments weren't a big deal.

But Gohan's arrival is more of a big deal than Vegeta and SSJ3 Goku. About to make a topic about this shit

I would think Vegeta's biggest moment in the saga should have been animated. I think it's more important than Gohan's arrival. Gohan's power up was done though.
