Dragon Ball GT- Does It Deserve Your Attention?

[Valerius Dover]

Wasn't GT's pre-existing dislike the basis behind the "You think you know GT" slogan?

[JackyBoi99]

Basically for the longest time people treated GT like the greatest thing since sliced bread without actually watching the series as people anticipated it's release in America.

Back in the day, I did not know a single person who spoke highly of dragon ball gt. All I heard was "Goku is a child, it's sooo bad" and "dragon ball gt is so horrible dude". It's refreshing to hear that people spoke highly of the show.

[Daimakku]

Well I don't like the show too much, but something I've always loved about GT is the music. It definitely has some of the best music in the entire series. The intro, the outros, the soundtrack.. it's all great.

[GeeRod]

When it was airing here where I live everyone, including me, thought GT was bad and boring. I don't know if I should try watch it now that I'm 10 years older. The whole Goku becoming a kid and doing EVERYTHING by his own just bothers me.
In the Z part at least we get Gohan killing Cell and some little things like, Ten Shin Han keeping Cell away from the Androids, Trunks killing Freeza and King Cold, Vegeta beating the crap out of Android 19.

I was one of them cause at the time i didn't know anything about manga and toriyama so i thought that whoever was behind Z would be making Gt and it would have the same jump in quality that z had from dragon ball

[Son Edo]

The story is enjoyable

[Low Tone G]

The review is good.... Absolutely, the GT show was not bad at all. Someones don't like that fact that Goku is everywhere, he is the greatest hero, no one can eclipse him in strength, durabilty and so on. But people, come on, who else would deserve it to be that top character? Gohan? Vegeta? Piccolo?..... I don't like that Black Star Dragon Ball saga, they could skip it, but the baby saga wasn't that awful. The Super 17 saga was totally unnecessary, and Goku should have been restored into his adult body after Baby saga. The Shadow Dragon saga was excelent though, and the END episode was brilliant, just like a character of Goku and anime like Dragon Ball should deserve it.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Yes, it does. While a few episodes are boring, and it has many inconsistencies & stupid character decisions, the majority of it was actually enjoyable to me, it had some very cool characters, and Super Saiyan 4 is awesome.

Dragon Ball GT is a Goku fanboys dream.

The original Dragon Ball is much more "Goku Time" than GT ever was.

[sangofe]

Sure, GT has some appealing things, but I can't agree the animation's good. It makes everyone look so damn weak and slow compared to Z and that just doesn't fit at all. Heck, it's even slower than parts of DB!

The diffence is that the original DB didn't have any other big charecters to use like Gt did

Vegeta,Piccolo,Gohan,F.Trunks and gotenks were all big charecters in Z especially Vegeta and for Gt to be made like they didn't exist is stupid to say the least

[DBZGTKOSDH]

The diffence is that the original DB didn't have any other big charecters to use like Gt did

It had Kuririn, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Chaozu, Yajirobe and Kame-sennin.

Another difference is that Goku in DB is Mr. Perfect. He is always the one to get miraculously stronger than everyone, and the only that wins every single fight, except if he is hungry, tired, or if it's the first fight with Taopaipai. In GT, Goku lost many times, and even needed help from others to defeat his enemies, and he also made stupid decisions like not transforming when he should.

Yamcha,Chaozu and Yajirobe are less important then bulma so they could have been taking out of the story and it would have had 0 affect on it

I agree that Krillin,Ten and Roshi were good charecters but they didn't leave the kind of impact on the story that Vegeta and Piccolo did for Z

[shinmaru]

For me it's DragonBall so yes it deserves my attention.

Well, the art is technically better than it's predecessors. There aren't nearly as many instances of warped proportions (giant hair with still body etc.), height inconsistencies, and characters having the wrong outfit or them having a different color scheme/general appearance for no reason. Not to mention the scenery has much more diversity.

The art may be "better" and consistent, but I sure don't like those loooooooong noses. What truly puts me off though, as like I said, the animation that makes everyone feel weak and slow.

[dbboxkaifan]

Yes it does, Dragon Ball GT while it tries to recreate the original arcs of Dragon Ball it just doesn't do much justice though that's not a biggie since it has a lot of comedy thrown in, plus Masako did an ace job as Goku and the score by Tokunaga is really nice (on some episodes they tend to reuse the same BGMs a little too much). Who doesn't remember Goku screaming at one of the Evil Dragons when he pretended to not hear him "I'm Goku! Son Goku! Goku!"?

I watched the GT Singles sometime ago and I noticed that aside from the compression the picture quality / animation looked really damn gorgeous at times. If Dragon Ball GT is remastered on Blu-ray in its original 4x3 AR and unfiltered then I might purchase it again.

Dragon Ball GT gets a lot of unfair hate but it's how some people feel about it.

[Vijay]

Haha! The story is PISS & its execution is shitty.

Wouldn't say Animation was even Average. Outta 64 episodes, only 9~10 episodes had the rich, High-quality look. Which is trash when compared to Z. Even during its weakest portion (stuffed with filler), Buu saga had minimum 4 to 5 episodes outta 10 which were done well.

As much as Baby & Super 17 was good, Shadow Dragon saga turned everything to steaming pile of shit. Green Toad, Pig & Duck as FUCKING Villains?!!! Are u kidding me? Not to mention Buu Arc rip-off. Fusion, Subsequent Defused entities fighting, GenkiDama as Finale.

GT's Hate is justified IMO. The Music is Cool, which brings nostalgic, which is cheap considering how it cashes-in on Z & even DB's appeal.

Well the show seems to have everyone job in front of Goku. Everyone got their asses kick in front of Super 17 and yet Goku fights him as a normal SSj pretty easy. Goku also kills every main bad guy in the show. With DBZ, Vegeta became good, Freeza died from Trunks and Cell died from Gohan. DBZ give other chances a chance to win besides Goku.

Looking at what came before it you can't really say it's unfair

The Majin Boo arc felt like something taken of Dragon Ball and remixed with elements of Dragon Ball Z so of the three arcs in Z (Saiyan, Cell, Boo) the Boo arc was certainly the least impressive (i.e, serious and emotional) but most comical of all (some weird animation it had here and there too).

So if Toei Animation had wanted to end the Z series by the Cell arc they could've and then for the rest it'd be named the sequel as "Dragon Ball Z2" (or X) or something as the content of the later arcs works quite well by itself.
