Sure, why not? And hell, what do we lose for believing it if it's not true? Not much, really. There's established cred there, and now they have to lie or be really wrong once to lose it. =p

I'll laugh my ass off if part of this process involves cropping.

I'd like to see how people would react. I would laugh my ass off if they had no problem with it.

Acceptance or not, I'd still laugh my ass off.

Redrawing some scenes? Huh, sounds like something expected from Star Wars, but not any of the three DB series. I mean, re-making lasers so they look more realistic in live action is one thing, but re-making ki blasts for an animated show...? I really don't see a point.

Don't get me wrong, though. Somewhat excited if this is actually true.

So you're not under a contract or similar type of agreement forbidding the leak of such "important" information?

Putting a digitally redrawn scene to a cel anime?
Who does such a rubbish thing..

Edit: They should solve this first

By "re-draw" I take it you mean to animate it from scratch?, unless you're talking about re-doing the existing drawings for HD, like Futurama did for Bender's big score.

I'm sure Toei will be nice to us and release whatever new material they come up with on some sort of home viewing source, I'm just wondering how long it will take them... since it took them over a decade to release the Dragon Boxes and the Individual Discs aren't even all out yet.

And I'm not very knowledgeable as to how Toei usual handles their music these days, but from what I've heard I wouldn't be surprised if all new BGM was added to the series as well.

Like I'd say on 4Chan...

Sauce?

I'm not even going to get my hopes up until there is a credible source for this.

Gravity goes well with a lot of stuff, try that.

Right

Now that I think about it, how would this even work? They're reanimating 'scenes'? As in, some scenes are not going to be changed? How weird would that look? If they do anything, they'll probably just reanimate the entire series, or maybe a couple of fan favourite episodes.

I could see them adding "reanimated scenes" as a DVD special feature or something, but for re-broadcast on TV? No way.

I was sure I typed "gravy".

Y'know, cause it's a sauce.

OK, well I personally do not believe any of this to be true-HOWEVER, mixing traditional cel and modern digital animation has been done before to great success with the Zeta Gundam movies a few years back. And with the success of the new special I would not put it past Toei try and think up some more ways to saturate the market with new dragonball animation. But this seems very spotty. I can't imagine them going to the trouble of putting in SOME new animation in the midst of old cell animation-especially if they would be making something that switched from full screen to widescreen every other episode.

I would say that we are more likely to see movie remakes of the different arcs before we would see anything like this. Mostly because "this" sounds like a waste of time and money for Toei.

I'm going to vote no on this rumor, but I think it probably might stem from rumblings inside Toei that they are thinking of putting out some sort of new DB animation.

And the argument that we would be hearing this on other sites doesn't debunk this 100% either. Remember, news has to START somewhere, why not daizex?

But yeah. I say no.

I think it's just weird that they are 'planning' this already while the single releases are still ongoing. Maybe we are just getting Blu ray releases of DBOX with just a few touch ups, like where the cells fails to give a clean picture at 1080P.

Meh that was not really badly drawn, just a microscophic point of view of the Z audience watching from afar.

I have seen much worse in Naruto and these microscophic effects which either zoom in or out of a frame in an awkward angleto make it weird are much more commen in Naruto then the Dragonball series and look really freaky too look at... some like em and some dont x3

Well, Naruto is done by Studio Pierrot...which, in my opinion, isn't as good as Toei. Blue Dragon feels really "clunky" to me. I couldn't get past the first few episodes.

It could work. I was watching GTO the other day and noticed some scenes had been redrawn, the coloring was slightly "fresher", but it still fit
