I think it's odd that they have SSJ4 Goku on both covers, since he shouldn't be in these discs, right? I think the covers for the other individual releashes always only had characters that were in that disc. I guess more spiffy-looking SSJ4 Goku artwork is always good, but it'd also be nice to have covers that focus on the other characters. Maybe later.

Nice....
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Yeah ssj4 goku isn't in the series until the end.
I finally bought a gamecube. To bad they don't make any games for it now.

I dunno bout the rest of you folks, but I think whoever is illustrating the new covers really needs to go back and look at the source material again. It just doesn't look all that good. And I'm speaking for everything recent that Toei has put out that features DB art. Everything is too round or too stubby or just too digital for my tastes.

How else were they gonna sell DBGT

Be grateful the filler in Dragon Ball doesn't suck like the 3rd arc of Rurouni Kenshin.

Those covers are crap. It looks like a FUNi release.

Yeah, bad covers. Though I had no intention of buying them anyway. Funi's release is good enough for GT.

They're pretty crap compared to the Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z covers. Then again, everything DBGT is crap compared to DB and DBZ

Not to be too mean, but damn, the ol' Pioneer and Ultimate Uncut covers were/are a helluva lot better than those first two. Not to mention the R2 covers the DB and DBZ singles had. It's bad enough the covers aren't creative and consistent (SSJ Z-era and SSJ4 Goku?), but sheesh...Those're pretty shitty in comparison to previous legit covers, IMHO. Oh well, maybe Toei simply wanted to rush the designs for fast releases. But still, damn, at least 4 dozen people on DA could do so much better. o_o;;

Whee, gaudy. Just like the DragonBox GT release, IMHO. I dunno why, but whereas the DragonBall and DBZ boxes had a classy look to them, the GT box look looked like a Times Square whore.
Oh, and the "different Gokus" thing was something they had on the DragonBox GT release too. Though, on that single volume it doesn't work as well.

More like episode 35. That's more the middle than the end.

Beautiful Artwork.
They should keep the DVD covers relevant to the episodes contained on the disc though.
Why are people doing this?!

I hope they make a screen saver for this set, like the ones they did for db and dbz.

Did anyone else notice that they gave Trunks his old "chibi" hairdo back?

Although not relevant to the episodes they contain; these are awesome covers imo. I have to admit, the covers look really americanized.

I like how Gokuu's nationality changes depending on what form he's in.

Nice looking, but very unfitting boxart.
