Best of DBGT

~~AquaParade~~ · 11-28-2007, 05:02 PM

Pretty much everyone I talk to says they hate Dragon Ball Gt, but the thing I love about dragon ball z is that characters, so I'm willing to test out their entertainment value in a different setting. Can anyone tell me the best episodes of dragon ball gt? I'm curious to see the best of what it has to offer. Thanks!

By the way, did anyone actually like the series?

From what I've seen of it, I liked it more than DBZ. Sadly, I haven't seen enough to be able to recommend you any episodes.

have fun...

hahah, well whether or not you guys enjoy it, I'm hoping someone who hates it can reccomend the episode they could stand the most

About the only thing I liked in regards to DBGT is the Goku Jr movie. That was pretty good. It was set about 100 years after the events in DBGT and is about Goku's great-great grandson, Goku Jr. It's never mentioned where his parents are but he lives with his grandmother, Pan.

The one after the Goku Jr special is pretty good.

So do I. I come back into this thread, expecting to be entertained and find that he made only a single small comment. Disappointment etches my handsome face.

This show must be bad

*Mecha Cow* · 11-29-2007, 04:38 PM

It is. DBZ wasn't exactly the pinnacle of storytelling, but DBGT seemed to be written by a bunch of 10-year olds who made everything up as they went. It was just tired, uninspired and unnecessary.

~~AquaParade~~ · 11-29-2007, 05:31 PM

Maybe watching it will make me appreciate DBZ more

. I've always enjoyed the characters, but cant stand the pacing.

*Kendamu* · 11-29-2007, 07:42 PM

The best part...? The last episode. I didn't like DBGT, but the last episode was pretty good, actually.

*ZariusTwo* · 11-29-2007, 11:50 PM

GT had potential, but even it's best arc (Super Android 17) has some nonsensical stuff in it that was so...typically Japanese. DBZ prided itself on being more of a western anime (though DB had that sense too), but GT was absolutley japanese and it dealt with familiar characters in ridiculous ways. It was clear Toriyama didnt give a s*it by that point.

Toriyama officially ended the series with the Buu saga. He was not involved at all with GT

A show animated in Japan which aired exclusively in Japan throughout its entire original TV run and was based on a Japanese manga which itself was based on a Chinese story and incorporated elements of Asian culture. Yeah, can't get more "western" than that...

*ZariusTwo* · 11-30-2007, 03:03 AM

Cleatly you didnt understand my point.

Did I say "it WAS american", did I SAY it was a fricking "Western/Western anime?" no, I said it was an anime that had more western influences in it than the folk tale it used as a template. Aisan influences? Plenty in equal amount, doesnt mean it's not more western.

Japan doesnt have to always emulate their own style for animes, and havent in the past nor will they stop anytime soon.

I thought you were better than this

Why yes, yes you did. Ignoring that, though, it seems you missed my point as well: how ridiculous it is to stereotype what's "Japanese" and what's not. I thought you were better than this.

Well of course there are more western influences in DBZ than in Journey to the West considering the fact that DB/DBZ is a modern manga/anime and JttW is an ancient Chinese story. But there is nothing about DBGT that makes it any more or less western than DB or DBZ.

What exactly defines this so-called "Japanese style"? If Japanese animation so frequently deviates from it, then it isn't all that "Japanese" to begin with, is it?
