Hmm...they really went downhill with these GT covers.
Trans rights, now!

Kanzentai's updated their site to also include the fourth GT cover art as well.
I also agree that these GT covers in general aren't as hot as the DB and DBZ ones. What's wrong with having art that actually coincides with the episodes being covered? At the least I would have liked re-drawings of those screenshots during the opening or ending with Goku, Trunks and Pan exploring some unknown planet.
The fourth cover art is alright, but the third one...

. It looks like they drew SSJ3 Goku forgetting that he was supposed to be in his kid form.

Oh, totally missed that. Bebi looks like one of those Garfield plushies you stick to your car window.

Lmao these covers are hilarious. Atleast #1, 2, and 4 are illustrated fairly nicely. This cover is definitely really embarassing. I think the 4th cover is the only one so far, that serves any connection to the episodes it contains.
Big thumbs down.

Both SSJ and SSJ3 Goku look too old.
Like he's more of a "teen" Goku instead of a kid.

The whole cover (and the other singles) is incredibly poor (Goku doesn't even look right).

Its GT folks. I expected less.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Well, that's the only character that matters in GT.

I like the fourth cover since it's got more than Goku and something from the ACTUAL EPISODES!!

Here are some larger images of the covers. That SSJ3 Goku just creeps the hell out of me. I can't remember, but weren't there any other characters in GT?

Pretty terrible. I expected better, despite it being GT. It won't stop me from picking them up, though. I'll just keep them spine out so I don't have to look at the covers

I wasn't too fond of the Dragon Ball R2 covers... But, this is just kinda sad.
For once, FUNi packaged a part of Dragon Ball better than the Japanese release.
Cover art #3 will haunt me until I die. That is all.

Good Lord, these covers suck. And this isn't even Funimation!

Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!
Fan of Dragon Ball Z and various other Anime since '98! ^^

Just look at him. He looks like he's about to walk out of the image and rape you.
