There's plenty wrong with GT. But I will agree its ending is much more satisfying. Since it actually feels like a conclusion, not to mention the montage.
Hold on, hold on. Let me fix it. I realized I left something out myself.

"Nothing Wrong liking GT. The ending is far superior than Z's."

There! Seriously, the only thing I liked about GT was the end. I pretty much hated most of the series.

I personally like GT. Sure, a lot of things didn't make much sense, however I like how they combined the adventure aspect of Dragon Ball and the fighting/ powering up from Dragon Ball Z together. The dub was also pretty respectable long before Kai's dub came out.

Let's stop posting about GT and let's just wait for people to post pictures and clips. :wink: :wink:

Yes, I would like to see disc art. Although I just ordered Box 7 today with Priority, so maybe I should keep it a surprise for myself.

I'm still psyched for the GT preview, but for some reason it feels out of place since it's on the Z film and not the GT film, which FUNimation has no access to.
Also, I'm curious as to what the Dragon Book will contain. Pictures of that would be nice as well.
So mondo lame.

I wouldn't hold out for me posting screen caps or clips. I don't have the time or patience.

I'm right at Boo absorbing Gohan. My first two discs had some glitches so I missed a bit and will have to have RightStuf send me a replacement. >_< Well, at least I can watch Vegetto kick the stuffing out of Majin Boo!

The preview is exactly where it is supposed to be (well, aside from being after the ending). There's no other place for it to be placed.

The Vegetto fight gets boring after about 2 episodes. Seriously, how can you drag out a one-sided fight for soooo long?!

We've seen Gogeta used in a couple of game openings and such because, like Gotenks, he can be formed without any real consequence to the characters. Vegetto practically never gets used for new animation (though he is in the new Heroes commercial to fight Gohan Buu) because he's supposed to be a permanent character once fused. So I think the real question should be, why didn't they drag it out longer... I want some more Vegetto. lol

My Dragon Box 7 shipped on Friday, along with Dragon Ball Viz BIG Volume 5. I hope I get them soon, I can't wait to finish up the Z series once again! :)

Since when do openings try to apply logic? Ultimate Blast's has child Super Saiyan 2 Gohan next to Super Saiyan 3 Gokuu! :P

But that does remind me, I want some more modern Vegetto animation!

Got volume seven today to complete the set. The ordering of the discs are consistent to the sixth box. I don't know when I'll get to watching this set since I've still yet to begun watching the fourth.

Thanks for the images Chibi Gohan.

I love the image of SSJ Goku on the cover of the Dragon Book.

That looks great, though it's too bad the artwork seen on the 2nd Japanese book wasn't used like how the 1st was used on Volume Three:

Kind of a weird feeling. Now that this is over with we're stuck playing the waiting game since, for most of us, we're not completely satisfied with just the 291 Z episodes. And FUNi's coyness on the matter is likely to continue for a little while longer, at least.

I know that after Volume 2 there was little reason to review the subsequent releases since "yup, all the same" would suffice. But given that we're finally through it, I'd love to see a final Daizex treatment of the 7 volumes as a whole. The last two years have been interesting to say the least. And a new article/review would tide us over while we wait for any future announcements.

Wow, just noticed that all the disc art seen in this one matches the original, aside from Pan missing on the last disc and they fixed the Kid/Super Boo order.

Wow, well I can't wait to get mine in! It'll be a little bit, but wow! I will say that I am somewhat disappointed with the Dragonbook. Yes the picture of SSJ Goku is awesome, but it would have been way better if it had been the R2 Dragonbook 2 cover. They did that with DBox 3, so I was hoping that would happen. Also, since I am pretty OCD, the disc order drives me up the wall! I don't know why in the world they just went and reversed the disc order like that, I mean come on! It wouldn't be that big of a deal, except for that the actual disc numbers are branded right under the disc, so you can't correct the order! This is pretty much like putting all of the discs in the season sets from right to left. It's just really annoying!
