That is an assumption that a lot of people are making. There has been no confirmation that all fillers will be removed. However, considering how the goal of this whole project is to be as true as possible to Toriyama's original work, it does seem logical that all fillers would have to be removed in order to allow for a more authentic and quicker paced experience. But condensing the series down into 100 episodes is a rumor at the moment and nothing more. To say that the original anime series had nearly two thirds of its content as filler as little too much of a stretch. I'd say that 150 to 200 episodes sounds reasonable. In any case, I am really looking forward to this new DragonBall experience just like everyone else.
