I'd previously endeavored to write a blog while reading through the original manga, but it didn't really pan out with how busy I was and trying to tackle it one volume at a time. I thought that taking GT one episode at a time would be much more practical, and a more interesting exercise because I'm not really sure how I'll react to it this time around. I will say this much though: I don't expect that I'll like GT by the end of this.
But I'm mostly just looking forward to examining GT and talking about what has gone down, getting into what aspects of it I do or don't like, what I may have liked to have seen done and what I've heard a lot of other people would have liked to see from the series. If nothing else, it will certainly be an experience.
I decided to post my blog here to share my thoughts and opinions, see how others felt and hopefully start a discussion. I've taken some inspiration from GafferTape's Dragon Ball Dissection series, so I figured it was appropriate to post here.
Here's my post about the first episode. Any feedback on formatting and style is appreciated, but I'm also curious about what people think of the episode - particularly about Oob's treatment, and the decision to turn Goku into a child. Did you like both of these things the way GT handled them? Would you have preferred to see them done differently, or not at all?
PS. You can ignore the posts from 2013-14. That was when I first created this blog and never actually delivered on my plans.
I'm off to a better start with one entry actually covered before I throw this out there!
