This is a celebration of the 20th anniversary of DBZ

While based on the original animation production, it is being updated with new technology
*
This includes extending the frames for formatting on an HD 16:9 display (note: not cropping the image)
*
The original Japanese cast is re-grouping to re-voice the show (where available, and unfortunately not including those that have passed on, such as Hirotaka Suzuoki [Tenshinhan])
*
Sound effects are being updated
*
Unlike the general show, the OPs and EDs are being completely redone
*
While not in the above announcement, other reports are noting that the number of episodes is being reduced from 291 to approximately 100

I'm actually very excited about this. I've been a fan since I was a kid. No more 3 episode long screaming battles, or filler of any kind. It's going to be awesome!
