This reduced visible damage to the original animation. As most of the series' sketches and animation cels had been discarded since the final episode of Dragon Ball Z in 1996, new frames were produced by digitally tracing over still frames from existing footage and filling them with softer colors. Kai features remastered high definition picture, sound, and special effects as well as a re-recorded voice track by most of the original cast. A follow-up series, which adapts the remaining story arcs from the original manga, was aired in Japan from April 6, 2014, to June 28, 2015. Produced by Toei Animation, the series was originally broadcast in Japan on Fuji TV from Ap to March 27, 2011.
