I 100% think that Bio-Broly was the best of the 3, but in what way do you hold the second movie in higher regard than the first?

But I don't like the GT ending. I don't think it's a perfect fitting ending for Dragonball like so many have said. IMO Dragonball should just have an open ending, that implies there are many more adventures for Goku to have. Goku dying for good is just...kind of a buzzkill.
I disagree on GT ending. It was good indeed, never liked how Z and the original manga had ended, it felt like "Oh okay Goku is going to train Oob, can't wait for the next chapter/episode" while GT felt like a final conclusion without perspectives of continuation.

Future Trunks's arc ending wasn't that bad (but it could'v been better)

dragon ball has better soundtrack than dragon ball z

we gotta power > cha la head cha la (don't get me wrong i like them both)

ssj 3 is a much better transformation than ssjb

Monaka should've been the strongest fighter in U7 instead of being a joke

I really liked Kai's Kikuchi placement. There were occasional tonal misplacements (although they were just that, occasional). It was a bit repetitious, I'll concede, but it took advantage of a lot of great tracks earlier on that Z didn't have the opportunity to. The audio quality itself is also great.

I agree. Him being revealed to be a weakling is the biggest let down in the Champa arc for me.

The moment he was first mentioned, I expected him to be a great character that can bring a lot to the table.

I like it the fact that Monaka is a weakling.

I think Big Green Paragus is better than Funimation Paragus.

Agreed. I actually think TFS Paragus sounds closer to his Big Green voice than his Funi voice.

I don't find Pan in GT to be that annoying.

When I watched the series as a kid in English I found her horribly annoying in everything she did and said. Now as I'm watching it in Japanese I don't find her annoying at all. I wonder if it's an age thing or a dub thing.

Giru on the other hand still needs to not exist in any language or capacity

I love Giru which I suppose is unpopular. I thought he'd be the Great Gazoo of the series, but he's not. He's funny and oddly endearing.

For example, after tasting Pan's baking
Giru: Excessive salt content
Pan smacks him
Giru: Excessive violent content

I've heard this a lot, pan being very annoying in GT. I personally don't find her annoying. But to be honest I've only seen like 10-15 complete episodes of GT. Some in LatAm Spanish and some in Japanese. And neither of those two voices are annoying to me. I do find her English voice to be a bit annoying, the voice itself. Something that gets my attention is that most of the comments of her being annoying I've seen come from English speaking fans. So I guess it could be a English dub thing. I really haven't seen complains about Pan from Latin American fans. I have to admit that I don't really interact with Latin American fans that much other than on the YouTube comment section. Sadly, there really isn't an equivalent of Kanzenshuu for Latin America.

Am I the only one who loves the fact that GT made Goku into a kid again?

I didn't love it, but didn't hate it either. I am taken aback by the amount of hate that turning him into a kid gets. He isn't even turned into a kid. His body is that of a kid, but his mind is the same.

I wonder what would happen if Giru peeped at Pan.

I wouldn't have minded it so much if GT actually did something with it other than to shamelessly piggyback on nostalgia for OG Dragon Ball.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

I swear he did at one point... Or was that Trunks/Random-side-character?

but don't you think that the show lacks a strong main character beside Goku and Vegeta ? , especially since monaka's personality is unique .
