If the part about trimming down the episodes to aproximately 100 is true, then this might be the best thing to happen to Dragon Ball Z since they started making decent video games of the series.

I love the cast and the world of DBZ, but it's tendency to drag on and on means that it's never held up to repeat viewings (or in some cases, the first viewing). Though I'm apathetic about the redrawn backgrounds and 16:9 display, cutting out a lot of the extra fat and bringing it down to fewer, more concise episodes is something I've been hoping they'd do for a while now, and I'm glad to hear it's actually happening.

And, here's hoping, that if it does come stateside, they get a better voice cast than FUNimation's.
