does dbgt get all kinds of hate i really like it. it's great. well. as great as db generally is (which is not that great). it's consistent is what i'm saying. not as good as the dragon ball portion of the manga of course. but i would say it's as good as anything z did just don't see what exactly it is that make a lot of fans of everything else db hate it so venomously.
Didn' t hate it, didn' t think it was awesome either. Trunks was weird though. How the hell did that snappy kid, whose short-tempered parents are Bulma and ****ing Vegeta, turn into such a sissy boy ? The guy even manages to forget he can turn supa sayan in a pinch. No seriously, what happened ?
yeah i hated what they did to trunks in gt. anyway, i really like the super 17, baby vegeta, and omega shenron arcs.
i always thought trunks was lame. even when he wasn't being lame he was still lame to me. in fact i may like him better in gt. though that's probably just part of what i like about the show: it has a smaller cast and focuses on those three characters for the most part. i didn't like that he wasn't there for the shenron arc. super 17 arc best arc. i had the whole thing on vhs at one point. miss those remember that part in the last episode of the super 17 arc where 18 rips part of her shirt and super 17 says wretch? when i was a kid i thought he said ***** and i thought her ripping her shirt was like the biggest deal ever. i was like oh my god my parents are going to kill me. i went so far as to hide the VHSs. harhar
Because when people say "GT stands for Goku Time" THEY AIN'T KIDDIN. Because Pan was seriously annoying and Trunks was relegated to a lame sidekick instead of being half as interesting as Terminator-esque Future Trunks (hey, not as annoying as Kid Trunks at least) Because there are a bunch of consistency issues, like why Gohan (the strongest solo character in DBZ) became such as worthless character, and Vegeta growing a mustache and getting a haircut. Because of the general stylistic attitude, specifically with BLACK DRAGON BALLS and SUPER SAIYAN 4 WITH BLACK HAIR AND FURRRR (although I did like that they incorporated the Oozaru aspect back into the Saiyan lore) Because of the sudden decision that the Dragon Balls don't like being used so much. Because unlike how Dragon Ball was Goku's journey to become a great warrior, and how much of Dragon Ball Z was Gohan's journey to embrace his fighting potential and stand up for himself, GT seems to lack a focus on any specific focus on a character developing. Because of dat ending. BUT some of the villains were pretty interesting (especially Super 17,) and some of the fights were pretty damn cool (Gogeta yo,) and I liked the idea of exploring various planets around outer space, and yeah.
I found the first 13 or so episodes and the ending to be the best parts of GT for me. Other than that, it was just really bland and a lot of the episodes' animation was lazily drawn, I felt like. And I definitely thought that SSJ4 was jumping the gun a bit (until they went all Super Saiyan God what with the new movie ugh lolol). But yeah, GT just didn't have the charm that the original and Z had. It's not the most horrible thing ever, but neither is it really high caliber.
I hated the soundtrack because Z's was amazing and GT's sucked ass (referring to Funi dub here, because that's what I watched). I also don't like the coloring.
y'all just a bunch of negative nancies >acting like there was any intelligent or thought provoking storytelling in db to being with. lol. its just insanely ripped guys punching stuff with no worthwhile exploration of characters ideas. and that's what we expect. i.e. y gotta judge gt so harshly.
Notice I didn't say that Dragon Ball Z wasn't like that. However, while it was mainly dudes punching other dudes really hard, it at least saw Gohan change from a crybaby who obeyed his mom and ran from fights into the greatest un-fused warrior in the series who avenges Android 16, kill Cell when his own father couldn't, and stand his ground against Super Buu with Gotenks and Piccolo absorbed. GT has a few good moments, like I thought fighting the dragons was pretty cool (though I disliked most of their designs, nitpicking o'course,) but DBZ is my preferred series because of the transformation we see Gohan go through and (to me) the more memorable moments and villains too.
I mean I didn't watch dbz I just read the manga so I wouldn't say dbz or gt is my preferred "series." Of the three periods db is by far my favorite. And there was just something about the aesthetic of gt that grabbed me. It was kinda... futuristic? In a way. idk. I just thought it was cool. Don't get me wrong I like dbz as well it just didn't have any standout aspects that db or dbgt did. And I'm not saying I love everything about all of them, it's been a long time since I've read or watched them so I can't say anything on them with total confidence.
