I think you should at least watch it once. Keep an open mind and be mindful that this is following anime continuity, not the manga's. So if that bothers you, then you'll have a problem with GT from the get go. Stick through it though all the way to the end and make sure you watch A Hero's Legacy. Also, watch GT in Japanese. The English Dub is garbage.

Putting aside the fact this thread is pretty old, that's a fair assessment.

Although, some people can't watch subbed in Japanese; for those people, the only option is to watch dubbed.
In cases like these, the best thing to do is to get the "Season" DVDs, and watch with the Japanese music option. The dub changes are still really bad, and the narration will sound really out of place, but you'll be able to watch it in something vaguely resembling how it's supposed to be.

I'd love to recommend the Blue Water dub instead, but of course, it was never released. :L
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

I'd say watch it in Japanese. Both English dubs are bad.

If you want to collect all things Dragonball, then sure. However, if your not all that interested, then I'd say just stream it.

My only issue with GT is Pan ,Uub, and Bulla being wasted. Other than that, I love everything about GT. And this is coming from someone who's only ever watched the dub of that show. I don't think the Dub is as bad as most people say it is. (And yes I even like the Rap opening). So overall, yes I would recommend GT.

Really, it's your choice. I'll watch GT at some stage, possibly if I catch up in Super and get bored, but for now it's not a priority.

I see that some are stating that GT is better than super. I personally disagree.

While I think Super is better, GT is at least good enough to watch. Even if you don't consider it canon like most people now, it will at least explain things about some of the things you see in the games. Such as why SS4 Goku has a tail while SS4 Vegeta doesn't and why that matters.

For instance, in the Xenoverse GT DLC, you have Great Ape Baby fighting SS4 Vegeta and SS4 Gogeta. That is Impossible to have happen in the story context that is given and as such, makes no sense. Watching GT explains why.

It's decent really, and at $25, it's worth picking up.

Though I'll warn you, if you have sensitive ears, Pan's voice can get... grating. Also, yeah, Bulla is indeed younger than Pan, despite how the two appear.
