What would things be like without GT?

Do you honestly think we would have been better without it? Personally I enjoy it a lot. And even if you don't, it's still a very important part in terms of history.

Well, there would be less complaining fans, less games to play in the games and people will wondering about SSJ 4 and not SSJ 5, I say it would be pretty good in my option.

EDIT: WOHOO! Finally, my 100th post!

Well I'll admit I'm sorta glad I have something to follow up with instead of:

Goku left his friends and family to train some hopeless scrawny kid.

right....

I would've never seen much Japanese DB or played any of the games...

(Fansubbed GT was some of the first Japanese-language anime I ever saw, and Final Bout was the first DB game I ever played.)

Plus, Toei would've never made more merchandise to make us spend our moeny on...

There would be no Dan-Dan.

My GT bashing days are over...

Well I could have not been so disappointed. When I heard there was a new series coming out called GT I was really exited until they put it at bad times and it wasn't really the best series.

We'd just find something else to be the whipping boy of Dragonball( movie 4, perhaps?).

Movie 4 is the fusion of Street Fighter and DragonBall Z. Everyone makes it like that movie is so unoriginal. PLEASE, go back and watch the other ones and see how "unique" they are.

I feel as though I've heard that somewhere.

Subject at hand: Well, I have mixed feelings. I don't care for GT, but I love having that many more random uncreative characters to beat up on in Budokai 3, and I love using the Ssj4 Transformation in momenets of desperation too.

I've said it before, GT had some great idea's and concepts, but the execution was terrible. Seems like only the last episode somewhat got it alright.

Mmmm... no. We're better off with it. The DragonBall story just wouldn't be the same without GT. Sure, it had its plotholes and suckily executed stories, but it was still charming and cool, in its own way.

...Plus, it gave us...

SSj4, biznatches.

Kaboom.. your avatar...you've transformed..! For all of the GT bashers out there, think of it this way: GT makes the earlier series look better. =P

More Dragonball is always better. Did I enjoy GT as much as the first two series'? No... but I enjoyed it more than just about every other anime out there, so GT is still very important to me! I love DBGT.

That's a difficult question for me to answer...I probably complain about it more than even your average Dragonball fan, but would the series really be better off without it?

For all it did wrong, it did give us the villian Baby (who is one of my over all favorites), the Golden Ape transformation, the adventures of an older than DBZ Pan, Bra, the neurotic robot Gill, and some fantastic fight scenes.

SSJ4 Goku vs. Baby and SSJ4 Goku vs. Yi Xing Long especially recaptured that epic battle feeling from Dragonball Z. If you completly ignored the lame stuff it's pretty enjoyable.

So I guess I've already decided, if I had the choice I would keep GT. Even better, if I had the choice I would completly remake GT and have everything actually make some damn sense.

Agreed on the awesomeness of the SSJ4 Goku design, and without GT there would be no SSJ4 Goku theme: "Hero of Heroes", my favourite DB-related music track, even if it originates from the video game Final Bout.

As for the rest of GT, as I said about anime filler in another thread, for better or worst, it adds to the overall DB Mythology, and something would be missing from it if you were to suddenly to take GT away from it.

Yeah, Goku leaving his friends and family to some unknown dimension with the Dragon is much better.

But seriously, I like Dragon Ball GT. Some bits were a bit slow, but I think I like Dragon Ball too much to care.

I'll get back to work on my FanFiction once the holidays are over. Promise! And I won't let it interfere with the dub project, either...

Without GT, the fandom wouldn't be as moronic and Bra wouldn't be one of my favorite characters...well, maybe she would, but I wouldn't like her as much.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna agree with you there. I don't like GT near as much as DB or Z (only seen a few episodes though), but Dragonball anything is still my favorite anime. However warped the characters.

That song is seriously awesome.

Without GT I don't know how I'd feel about the ending of Z...

On one hand, nobody was dead in the end of Z, but in GT Piccolo stayed dead and other characters got shafted/forgotten... But I'm glad GT was created because I did like the character designs and that ending was a whole lot more epic!

That's GT's greatest offense if you ask me. XD Rampant Uran Utang body hair, go!

A bit like in DBZ then..:S
If I could have a proper feel good ending to Z (One where Goku does not ditch his family/doesn't finish the tournament off) in replacement of GT, I would.
