When to watch GT Special?

[SSJGAffleck]

Now, I am not looking for people to be like "GT sucks" or "Never! HAHAHA" I am genuinely curious of when people watch this special. I know it aired during the series, after the Baby arc, but I always watched it after the end of GT, but now think maybe that might taint the ending. What's your opinion and when do watch it?

After you complete watchin GT.

Cuz you'd know what happens @ end of GT & the special is an extension of it's ending.

It aired between GT episodes 41 and 42, and that's where it should go. It's between arcs, so there's no break in flow, and it sets up for the events of episode 64 (the flash-forward in 64 takes place after the special), and it means episode 64 is the last thing you watch, so that perfect ending is allowed to sit on its own.

Yeah, this was my thought. I am currenty showing my girlfriend all of Dragon Ball(we just finished the second Tenkaichi Budokai) and was just planning ahead because that special is one of my favourite bits of DB, but I also didn't want to hurt the ending. Now to deal with Super...

I was going to say watch it after, but your point about 64 being the last thing you see makes a lot of sense, so I agree it should be watched after episode 40 or 41.

TBH I'd watch GT first, then take a break, then try Super after.

GT is the much more natural follow-on after DB and Z, so it makes sense to watch the original 508 episodes before watching Super.

I watch the final episode of GT up to the time skip, watch the special, then the epilogue of the final episode.

I thought of that but am worried about hurting the pacing of the episode as I find it is paced very well.

You'll be better off showing her other anime instead, as Super will be more or less a poor rehash of what she will have already seen.

Just watch it after GT's 40th or 41st episode.

I get that but I find the satisfying feeling of GT's epilogue works better as an ending than the GT special. It leaves me feeling good and upbeat.
