What do u think about GT ?

Do you consider GT as Toriyama's work, just because he worked in it minorly, like DB Manga was?

Because I don't. I believe he only did it for the money, cuz i'm sure he secretly disliked GT as in the fact that he wanted his series to end where HE decided (in the manga).

So I consider GT a non-canon Dragon Ball series, an in-legitamate Dragon Ball series.
I consider Dragon Ball (with Z) as an individual to GT, and I don't consider GT at all in general DB facts.
I'm not saying GT is bad, it's a very good little ''extra'' series, but , as I keep saying, I don't consider it as a part of the DB line.

What do you guys think?

(oops just noticed that this topic is in Forum discussion instead of DBZ discussion, mistakes happen please don't sew me. . .)

Haha you're fine. I'm going to move this topic to the DBZ section now! ;)

~moved~

On topic: I'm actually not nearly as anti-GT as most people on this forum. I take it for what it is, and for me it is just an extension of the series that isn't necessarily amazing, nor accurate, but is still more content for us fans and it can be enjoyable to watch if you stop taking it so seriously.

So yep, I agree with you. I also perceive it as non-canon. I look at it almost as some sort of fan project actually lol.

It's "fun" or "trendy" to hate on GT, so you'll see a lot of people doing that who either have not seen the whole Japanese version, or who went in on the bandwagon and couldn't allow themselves to actually understand it.

I think it's just fine, although not as the first two parts of the series. I'll say it's more entertaining than Z at times, which can drag and be boring between big events.

I don't hate it I just think it's different. There is still a lot of similarities between it and Z imo. I try not to bash on it as much as others do. I try to find solutions to some problems in it by over thinking what could happen instead of it being a plot hole or consistency. But there is some things you just can't fix.

I feel if Goku walked around as an adult the whole time then that would of made things a lot better and more bearable but really that's kind of the main thing that throws me off. There's a lot of cool fights, action, attacks, and techniques in it that I enjoy, which I'm sure in Z if something really bad***** happens then more than likely it may be a filler and probably didn't appear in the manga. So why not have a "Z" show full of awesome stuff in it? Same concept just a bit different.

I thought the Japanese version had great music. The fighting was kind of slow and had too much Ki blast spamming.

I'm not a fan of the entire first saga, although everything from the Baby saga onwards is okay. Not that I've watched much of it.

I think it's decent, but nowhere near as good as the first 2 series. Oh and Goku vs that kid in the world tournament is one of my least favourite scenes in Dragon ball history, just what...

I genuinely hate it, and for far better reasons than the fact it's 'hip' to hate on it.

It's not my cup of tea.

It's ok for what it is, it brought some cool ideas (I.e. the tuffles, more androids and higher level super saiyans) but I agree that it should have been non canon, as it is kinda cheesy, I mean come one, pan? Trunks and goten to find the dragon balls instead of characters like piccolo, vegeta or gohan. Speaking of gohan you don't really see him actually fighting that much. Come to think of it only the "main" characters actually have decent fights. It's sad really how only kakarot gets the spotlight, but the only character that gets a huge push other than goku is pan. Pan wasn't even in dbz. Yeah, ok she was only in for one episode, as a baby so that doesn't really count. Speaking of that last episode of dbz, I think DBZ should have ended (or taken a pause) at kid buu's death. GT did a bad job with vegeta, really did he need help turning ssj4 nevernind the fact that he can't even turn ssj 3 . I felt that in GT they overpowered kakarot and vegeta seemed so weak in GT. it's not like vegeta to get help with machines to surpass kakarot. Plus he always trained 24/7 ! " you've interrupted my first day off of training a month" -- Vegeta, (movie thirteen, wrath of the dragon) and also I have one more problem with vegeta in GT. the moustache. GT was ok but not great. In my opinion it should have been non canon.

Its a fairly mediocre show at best. If its viewed as a seperate show, its decent. But as the sequel to its prequels, it never lives up to its hype.

Since Toriyama wasn't involved in the show as he did before, the character designs were mostly off-model.

The animation was sub-par. I can say that out of 64 episodes I've watched, only 10 looked somewhat "good". Seriously, what were they thinking?

The music in Jap was good, only thing comparable to Z.

The action/choreography were poor, the humor was juvenile, forced.

Pacing was bad (which'll make even die-hard fans squirm). It makes tha pacing of Buu Saga (largely considerered the slowest point of DBZ) as classic.

The plot/storyline was alternate between crap and mediocre as it was jadded by inconsistent pacing & plot-devices. Ex: Ep 17 was terrible, while ep 18 was worse, ep 19 was great.

To sum it up, GT did had the potential of being made an epic sequel, but as the soul & heart wasn't there, it became what it was.

The first 20-odd episodes bored me because they were trying to to re-enact dragon ball's adventure and it failed

the last 40-odd episodes were great, good fighting, the shenrons had a good concept(hated all dragons bar nova and omega)

Dragon Ball is BETTER then DBZ!

I rather watch a Yamcha full movie of 50 minutes failing than watching GT.

It's non canon and should be viewed as such. What they did to Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks, and Goten is just criminal.
