(I am not the creator of the recut. I just reupload it here from https://nyaa.net/view/832044)

A complete re-edit of the original Dragon Ball series, with as much of the filler removed as possible. Closely mirrors the original manga/comics, and is a great companion piece to Dragon Ball (Z) Kai.

Due to the nature of the editing process, episode lengths (and file sizes) vary. I tried to keep the episodes around 24 minutes or so, but it was really a matter of finding a good ending point for each episode. For that reason, some episodes run for about 18 minutes while others can go for as long as 32 minutes. I tried not to go much longer than 30 minutes, but sometimes it couldn't be helped.

Total Amount of Footage Cut:
[ul]
[li]Disregarding the OP and ED themes, eyecatchers, title cards, and NEPs, that leaves each episode BEFORE EDITING at about 20 minutes and 26 seconds of actual show time.*[/li]
[li]Multiply that number by 153 episodes total, and you're left with 52 hours, 6 minutes and 18 seconds.[/li]
[li]My recut of the show (again disregarding OP, ED, eyecatchers, title cards, and NEPs) comes out to about 29 hours, 5 minutes and 3 seconds[/li]
[li]That leaves us with a grand total of 23 hours, 1 minute and 15 seconds worth of actual show footage cut, all of which was filler in one way or another.[/li]
[/ul]

* You'll notice that I still included the recaps in that estimate which isn't completely fair, but the reason I did so is because some episodes towards the beginning didn't really have recaps, and I didn't always cut them anyway (it wasn't until sometime during the RRA arc that I finally decided to cut the recaps entirely). For those reasons, it would have been difficult for me to calculate. Even so, that added recap time would probably only result in about a 2 or 3 hour difference, tops.
