Dragon Ball GT... most everyone seems to hate it. I've seen GT rated below 5, I've heard people saying they don't consider GT part of the series and is a disgrace and all that hate. Those people (which are probably the majority of you reading this who have seen GT so don't get pissed) don't take it for what it is. GT is not perfect, not even close. But it doesn't suck more than a vacuum...
Story- I hear and read all the time about how "awful" the story is. Ok I admit, if the whole show was like the after Goku turns into a ... kid but before the fight on Planet M-2 I would have trashed this show. But, it's not at all! The fight on M-2 really took everything up a couple of notches, the idea was so cool and of course the infamous Baby villain was introduced. Everything starts to fall into place for the Baby and Goku fight and c'mon... SS4 is one of the coolest transformations in the whole series, even if you knew it was coming. The Super 17 saga was very dark and powerful. It was short lived but it needed the DBZ aspect to come back and give GT some more life and add a good intro to the Black Dragon saga. I get very confused when people say "I don't like this saga". I don't mind your opinion but you gotta give a reason... Some of the dragons were lame but the last fight was one of the best in DragonBall, DBZ and DBGT because of the power of Omega Shenron, the "thing" that happens with Goku and Vegeta (for those of you that don't know I wont spoil) and just the magnitude of the fight was epic. So what are the bad parts of the story??? Pacing in the beginning was an issue. It was slow and boring to start off and that's a big turn off for people and then they are ready to bash on all the bad that comes next and if they do that, they overlook the good. Also there's a character problem but let's wait till I get there.
Art- This is weird but the art in the Baby arc and Super 17 arc was worse than the art of DBZ. Then it seemed like it changed a little for the final arc but it wasn't spectacular. I don't get bothered with bad art because I am in it for the story but I have to admit, seeing that an anime's prequel had better art than it did bothered the hell outta me. If you are someone that hates average or older looking art work than take caution.
Sound- I enjoyed the sound... it didn't copy all of DBZ's tracks (Thank GOD!) and I thought the opening is brilliant. The Dub is ok, I do not like kid goku and when he transforms and Sean Schemmel's voice comes back it's like heaven. Sound is really hard to judge.. I don't think I've ever watched something with bad sound and I hope I never do haha. But it was average no complaints accept for some annoying Dub voices.
Character- UGH! I am sure I am not alone on this. If I had two big problems on the show that I could rant about is 1.) why is Pan the most annoying character ever put on a screen... and 2.) why is it that no one accept for Goku and Vegeta can put up a fight? Everyone who was strong in DBZ is suddenly weak? Confusing nonetheless. The only reason I am not putting this lower is because of Goku, Vegeta, Uub, and the villains of the story.
So, DBGT. Everyone loves to hate it. If you're someone who has watched DB and DBZ but you fear GT because of the reviews take it from me. If you try and compare GT to the first two you are going to want to never watch it again, there isn't really a comparison. Take GT for what it is. It's a not so serious mood of some cool fights and new transformations. The ending is very heart felt and can make some tear up, if they got one thing right the ending of GT was as perfect as ever. Even the last movies was amazing and heart felt. Don't hate GT until you find both the good and bad. Give it the credit it deserves, it's not the biggest screw up of anime, it's just a decent final chapter to everyone's favorite hero Goku. Don't hate GT plz, give GT some love!
