DBGT's existence
Would you prefer it if GT just didn't exist? Don't get me wrong, Ssj4 is cool and all, but is all the garbage for a few good things worth it?

Re: DBGT's existence
Honestly, as bad as GT is, I like it enough to be happy that it exists. Where the manga leaves off, without the future hints we have since gotten via things like DBO, is kind of a poor ending IMO. I like open-endings to some things, but Dragon Ball is not one of those where it works for me. GT, poorly executed as the ride to get there was, is a good way to get to a slightly more proper ending.
Besides, it gave a place to vent hate for years before it was surpassed by a certain live-action version.

Re: DBGT's existence
I'm glad it exists because it's more Dragon Ball. Even if Toriyama didn't write it and the series is crap compared to Z, I do appreciate it's existence to a certain extent.
If nothing else it definitely made the Dragon Ball video games more interesting. Freakin' Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, thank you Toei!

Re: DBGT's existence
I think I would more accepting of it if it were to have come out MUCH later, as to better signify that it is an expansion of the Dragonball plot and universe, instead of just being a direct sequel (which technically it isn't, but it PRETTY MUCH is).

Re: DBGT's existence
I guess I owe it to the series to give it a fair chance in uncut Japanese, but I am just so dissatisfied with the product that the cons far outweigh the pros for me. Can't say I even enjoy SS4's design. Too cartoony for me.
Re: DBGT's existence
Despite his poor execution ( with good ideas ) and Goku be a child on the entire series, I'm glad it exists but I always have some regret when I see the mistakes or this might be better than that, etc.
Super Saiya-jin 4 ( despite his strength errors ) is the pinnacle for me in DB GT.

Re: DBGT's existence
I'm glad it gave a "ending" to Db instead of the cliffhangers style endings we have. But I say that it did not exist I wouldn't been so hyped for anything pre gt. Ysgafr I wad glad it was made. BoG I was hype since Toriyama wad there not just Toei. So Gt made me more hype for things. As I can scale Db material now based on Gt

Re: DBGT's existence
I think we would have been fine without GT. Maybe Toei should have done two more movies instead after DBZ or have it rest in peace for years to come.

Re: DBGT's existence
I think if they did a GT Kai it could be better, shorten it.
With that in mind, they should have a new intro of Goku sleeping after a big meal.
He then should start dreaming, this is where GT Kai takes place.
In the end of GT Kai Goku wakes up, and trains with Uub.
The End.

Re: DBGT's existence
I'm glad it existed. It continued the story, gave us SSJ4, and a amazing ending with material to continue off of. Id gladly watch the story of Goku and Vegeta Jr. New characters, enemies, plenty of stuff to work with.

Re: DBGT's existence
It's already 64 episodes with pretty decent pacing. Honestly, GT has the best pacing of the 3 series.Zeroplus wrote:I think if they did a GT Kai it could be better, shorten it.

No GT means no "Blue Velvet" theme!

Re: DBGT's existence
This is true I love the opening song for GT. Sounds like Dragon Ball.

Re: DBGT's existence
Without DBGT's existence, our only glimpses at a "post-DB setting" would be that short cameo in Neko Majin Z (and DB Online more recently). In such a scenario, maybe the video games would have seen more appearances of Uub, Kid Pan, Uub Saga Goten, all the Uub Saga costumes, etc.
Re: DBGT's existence
I don't deny its very existence. I just wish it had been better.
Re: DBGT's existence
Would you say it has a better pacing than Kai? I agree that GT has good pacing but isn't that probably because it wasn't produced trailing a manga counterpart like the other series' were, they had to make sure they were going at a pace that didn't catch up to the manga.TheMightyOzaru wrote:It's already 64 episodes with pretty decent pacing.

Re: DBGT's existence
Personally, I'm indifferent about it's existence. I love the music, some of the characters and character designs (Super Saiyan 4), and some of the storylines we got from GT, but I do agree that GT has its flaws (e.g., the poor execution of good ideas like MDSTSSJ said). The flaws don't really bother me enough to wish GT never existed.

Re: DBGT's existence
Think on the plus side, without GT what would Dragonball fans argue over? They'd lose half of their topics.

Re: DBGT's existence
Yes, because it added more video game characters and made people think that the franchise wasn't dead. Its existence was a net positive for me.

Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.
