Should I watch or buy DBGT

[Im insaneFromEarth]

If this has been asked on here before sorry. Ok, I've only seen maybe 5 episodes of GT, I think they where the so called lost episodes (which is bs) But what I want to know is, is Gt any good and should I buy or watch them? It's not that I hate the show since it's in the non cannon area. But It's part of the Dragonball franchies. I would love to know from people that have seen GT

I'd say watch it as a side-story. You'll notice problems with it, but you'd probably enjoy it if you gave it a shot.

I know Super makes Gt "non cannon" unless something big happens, but that's cool. So as a side story its good? also what problems does it have?

Yeah, just a little thing that you can enjoy as non-canon, unless you count it as an alternate timeline.

Problems mostly come from them discovering key elements to the plot without any explanation as to how. Of course, I've only seen the dubbed version so far, but based on the hate, I doubt the Japanese is much different. But it has some good ideas, it's just that most of them are executed poorly. It might give you some fanfiction ideas, at least.

[Soppa Saia People]

Yeah. You can get the full series for 24 bucks, it's decent, nothing amazing.
BTW, the dub is actual pretty good.

[Steven Bloodriver]

All what a fellow fan can promise you is that Dragon Ball GT is oh-so-much better than Dragon Ball Super so far in terms of anime, manga, and games.

P.S. Which could have been avoided if Japan had decided to secretly clone Akira Toriyama (while he was still young) after the end of the original Dragon Ball Z series.

[Boo Machine]

I don't feel like DBGT is as bad as people would make it out to be.

I never cared how stupid it got, Dragonball anything can get pretty stupid, but my gripe was that it was boring to sit through a lot of the time. But when it gets decent it's a fun ride and it had cool ideas i wish they would have done more with. Also has it's fair share of memorable moments.

I say buy it. You can get the entire series+ the movie cheap. I got mine from walmart for 30 bucks.

I doubt the Japanese is much different.

It's actually pretty different. Music, script, etc. The whole tone of the series is changed in the dub for me tbh.

Answering the original question: Yeah, I'd give GT a try. It's pretty good for what it is and the ending sequence is phenomenal. By far, the best ending to episode to any DB series in my opinion. It's plot was good for what it was and it tried some new things that I found genuinely enjoyment in.

Just please, for heaven's sake, do not watch the Funi dub. It's horrendous in my opinion. The garbage wanna-be hardcore rap music, some of the name changes, voices, it's mostly just complete trash. If you do give it a try, watch the original by all means.

Or, at the very least, watch the the Funi dub with the original score. Or, you could watch, what I consider to be, the slightly better Blue Water dub.

[Jinzoningen MULE]

Even if you don't care for it, it's worth having. DBGT is an interesting point in DB history, what Dragon Ball became when Toriyama is totally removed from the story.

[Jinzoningen MULE]

If I were to give a 15 second review. I'd say that it looks great. It tries to re-create the comedy aspect, but fails. It brings interesting concepts to the table, but gets boring when viewed for any length of time, mostly due to an uneven pace throughout.

[theoriginalbilis]

If you can access and watch Hulu, I'd recommend watching it that way before you decide to buy it. The entirety of GT TV (Japanese with Eng. subtitles.)

The series is inconsistent in terms of quality, but there's lots of good and bad in there. So YMMV. I do think GT worth watching for it's significance to the franchise overall.

[Black Hawk]

As someone who was fortunate enough to get to watch each episode of GT as it aired for the first time on Fuji TV back in '96, I personally love GT (more-so than any other adaptation of the anime) and would recommend purchasing the complete series box set, but there's certainly a lot of bias and nostalgia in my opinion as GT was my first exposure to the Dragon Ball anime. Take that how you will.

I've heard that as well, that it's in a timeline with the first 13 movies.
That it could, also the set is around $40 so it's not bad at all, I might try it out and see, I know I need to buy the Blue bricks again.

So it would be best to watch a few episodes at a time?

Ya you can tell when he's not around for something with Dragonball. I might try it, I;ve heard it had a few really good things in it.

Really a rap song? is that in the green brick version?

It makes a few nods to the movies, but it's actually in the same timeline as the show. No, the rap isn't on the Green Bricks.

Funi's GT Dub is actually okay, but I still prefer the Japanese track.

nods to the movies? cool, Well some has said the Funi dub is awful they also say that about Z. Is the music differnt with the Japanses one? and good no rap lol

[Bansho64]

Really a rap song? is that in the green brick version?

Yes, it's on the Green Bricks. The replacement score I mean. I don't think the actual "Step Into The Grand Tour" is in there though but the replacement score is. You can choose which soundtrack you want on them. It's like the Z Season Sets. Here are the options that are on there.
-Eng Dub + Replacement Score
-Eng Dub + Original Score
-Original Japanese audio
The Mark Menza replacement score for GT is almost always the same beat recycled one after another.
It's probably the worst replacement score I've ever heard in any anime. Yes, even 4Kids' atrocious attempt at One Piece.

If you have money and are willing to spend them, buy it if only for colection purposes. In terms of viewing, I'd say give it a shot. I went in it with low expectations and I can't say I was disappointed. I get the hate for it, but it can be a little overblown at times. The series is beautiful and tries a new artistic style and color palette that works for the most part, the story ideas are great and original and even though the execution is lacking, it's worth to actually see these concepts on the screen. However, the show does drag quite a bit, especially during the first two arcs. I've found myself on the verge of skipping some episodes due to how boring they were, but managed to pull trough and there are great moments spread troughout so it's worth keeping with it in the end. The music is great and the voice work is top notch, however some of the characterizations can be kinda annoying at times in spite of that. All in all, while I can't call the show good by any means, it's good points warrant it a watch, so you can form your own opinion.

All of that is in regard to the Japanese version, don't know about the dub, but from what I've seen on YT I'd avoid it, as it's not a good representation of the show.

What I meant is that Hulu only streams GT in Japanese with subtitles. No dub unless you buy the DVDs or stream it from FUNimation's own site.
