Favorite thing about GT?
In light of all of the anti-GT threads popping up recently, I thought I'd make a pro-GT thread.
Personally, I loved the idea of their overuse of the Dragon Balls backfiring on them.

Re: Favorite thing about GT?
+ A lot of badass villains with cool designs (Rilldo, Omega Shenron, Ledgic etc) who outnumber the lame ones
+ SSJ4
+ It executed the "Hell escape" concept better than Fusion Reborn
+ The fights didn't drag on too long like in Z
+ Bebi's possession/infection ability was neat
+ More fitting end than Z

Re: Favorite thing about GT?
I liked all three of the Super Saiyan 4 designs (and Golden Oozaru), the main villains (Baby, Super #17, Yi Xing Long), Oob merging with Boo, the Ultimate Dragon Balls, Goku being a child again while keeping his adult form in SS4, and the mysterious ending.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Re: Favorite thing about GT?
I really like it too for these reasons:
- Tokunaga's amazing score
- Its swift pace
- Colorful worlds and great animation
- Love the character designs and the way everyone changed making it feel like they enjoy living on Earth (the saiyajins that is)
- Cool villains and flashy fights that didn't drag on for too long
- A sob-inducing ending full of nostalgia giving everything real closure

Ah, the Alpha and the Omega. As all life was created from Chaos...so shall it be DESTROYED!!!

Re: Favorite thing about GT?
- Cool villain desgins
- A good music score
- The SSj4 fight scenes in the Shadow Dragon arc and SSj4 Goku vs. Super 17 were very enjoyable

Re: Favorite thing about GT?
Basically:
- The soundtrack is godly and keeps up with KiKuchi.
- Best Opening and Endings
- Goku becoming a child again
- Goku need a tail again and turning Golden Oozaru/SSj4 for the first time
- Baby
- Piccolo's death and his last words to Gohan
- The ending

A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Re: Favorite thing about GT?
-Masterful soundtrack.
-No major pacing issues like the previous two shows.
-It redeems itself a bit with the final arc.
-Solid conclusion.
-SSJ4 is a pretty cool (albeit unorthodox) design.
That's pretty much it.

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.

Re: Favorite thing about GT?
I'm fond of the music in the show as well as the openings and endings, specifically this one
I've always been a fan of Android 17 so despite how poorly executed the Super 17 saga was it didn't stop me from getting a little excited at seeing him return and as a main villain no less. The design was kinda cool too.
I also enjoyed the appearance of SS4 Gogeta and especially his golden sparked aura.
The fire and ice dragons were a neat idea. Those episodes in particular are great to watch if only for the animation being above average quality for GT.
Oh and of course the finale is nice.

Re: Favorite thing about GT?
-Nice Ending
-SSJ4 looks cool.
-Omega/Syn Shenron looks cool.
-Concept of Shadow Dragons is good, imo. Not so much the negative energy thing, but the fact that they're directly associated with the dragon balls.
I literally hate everything else.

"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

Most of the Piccolo scenes. He was generally treated well by GT.

Re: Favorite thing about GT?
Well they did sort of treat him with dignity by not having him get infected by Bebi or anything (he could have been infected we just never saw) and by completing his transition from bad guy to good guy, but in the end he really contributed nothing of value to GT, he didn't fight nor did he mentor/train anyone and his sacrifice was ultimately in vain. He was just as important to GT as Tien, Yamcha, Krillin and all those other characters who simply went missing without a trace.Kamiccolo9 wrote:Most of the Piccolo scenes.

Re: Favorite thing about GT?
He had an excellent death scene, that last talk with Gohan, he was critical to getting Goku out of Hell in the Super 17 Arc, he had a badass moment where we find out that he has taken over the role as Guardian of Hell, and his last conversation with Goku is touching.Kakacarrottop wrote:Well they did sort of treat him with dignity by not having him get infected by Bebi or anything (he could have been infected we just never saw) and by completing his transition from bad guy to good guy, but in the end he really contributed nothing of value to GT, he didn't fight nor did he mentor/train anyone and his sacrifice was ultimately in vain.

You don't have to be all "punchy-punchy kicky-kicky bang bang pow" to be a good character.

Re: Favorite thing about GT?
The dramatic music and the animation, opening/endings. And the growing an outfit thing
Like the 80s Hulk when Transforming into an SSJ4. And SSJ4 vs. a pig that's the biggest let down
for me, and a signature that it's not traditional(Toriyama) Dragonball.

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.

-I personally like the updated character designs. I like the blue/yellow gi Goku wears, I like how they made Pan look, Trunks is, meh, Goten looks a lot better than his EoZ self, and Vegeta (barring that mustache) looks cool as well
-I also actually enjoy Mark Menza's BGM, pretty catchy at times
-I like the relationship between Goku and Pan, it's funny at times
-I like how they don't need to use SSJ every single fight every episode, until the Super 17 arc where every non SSJ4 is irrelevant
