Look decent in my opinion.

Better than the last ones, at least. Though is it some kind of unspoken rule that Goku must be on every cover? I would've liked a re-drawing of when Bebi Vegeta was sliding Gohan's (or was it Goten?) face along a wall. I dunno why, but that scene always sticks out to me.

Spiffy! I've always like Baby-Vegeta's design.

Some-what a step up from the previous covers. That Ssj 3 chibi Goku still haunts me in my sleep.

They're ok, but none of the GT covers so far have really impressed me.

I'd always wished Bebi would've possessed someone other than Vegeta though; I feel like there wasn't enough Vegeta in general in GT. When he finally does show up as a main character the series suddenly ends.

I agree. I will, every now and then, have a mini Dragon Ball marathon. While I'm watching, the thought of Vegeta can wreck my mood, and turn me off completely. That said, when I have my mini DBZ marathons, Vegeta plays a central role in my interest, and I couldn't imagine watching it without him. Then we arrive at GT ( I can't really say that I have any mini marathons for it...). When I watch GT, I feel as if Vegeta should be around, but he isn't. Essentially, when I think of Dragon Ball, I think of a series with tournaments, a Red Ribbon Army, and at an extreme level, Piccolo. As for DBZ, I think...Vegeta. I don't like the idea of having Vegeta's role be a cross between a supporting and major character. Either have him, or don't. I think that's one of the reasons that, I personally, don't care much for GT.

As for the cover art, I don't really mind it. It isn't the best that I've seen, but it is...colorful?

It always seems awkward to me when you have a character on a box who appears untouched, next to a character who is all beaten up. The blood especially gets to me. These covers have odd placement, on top of an odd poses to have Goku in especially. Maybe it's just a marketing thing. Maybe the hope is that you'll assume the included episodes contain action sequences, and therefore decide to buy them. Maybe someone just plain thought these covers looked good. I'm probably overlooking things a bit, and it is just a matter of personal opinion.

To sum things up, Vegeta looks fine on the covers, while all 4 choices for Goku, in terms of placement, pose, and form, just seem like blemishes on otherwise great covers.

It was Gohan Baby sliding Vegeta, actually.

Shows just how much I was paying attention during the series

Seems like the bad guys come off much better in these character designs.

Toei got really lazy when making these GT covers.

Cover 5 looks pretty good.
