Akira Toriyama’s coming back for a new Dragon Ball series
(www.theverge.com)
So GT Electric Boogaloo?
I remembering loving GT. I loved the pan storyline, and the ssj4 design is sick. Super has never hit as hard as GT did, but thats probably just me
GT was superior I dunno why people don't see that.
The GT ending hit hard and should be canon.
I couldnt follow super. Dropped it when Goku could beat a guy that could literally stop time by just going faster??
I’ve been watching dragon ball z since I was a kid. I never watched all of dragon ball, but I read the manga.
Dragon ball super was pretty good, too.
I may have missed a movie here or there, but I’m happy to see more dragon ball content.
Same. I still have on a hard drive old 320x240 mpg and avi clips from Japanese VHS's of DBZ/DBGT from back when we'd have to fucking import them in order to watch them, downloaded from KaZaA/Morpheus/Limewire back in the late 90's.
As long as Toriyama is involved in it, I'm down for more Dragon Ball until I die.
Edit: Fuck it, proof lmao
You didn't have to provide proof, but you did. Thank you, kind stranger.
'Tis the data hoarder way!
I’ve never seen GT. Is it worth it? I’m pretty sure toriyama was not involved with it.
If memory serves, Toriyama did provide character designs and the like, but yes he otherwise declined to participate.
Is it worth viewing? YMMV. In a post-DBZ world where it was 'You get GT or you get nothing cause the franchise already ended' it 100% sufficed, even if it wasn't as great as DB or DBZ. Now-a-days with it being 100% not canon, and us having Super, this new one coming, films, etc, it can be a bit more lackluster. If you love Dragon Ball because "sweet anime fights", you'd have zero problem with the show at all.
I remember the biggest issue people had with it (back when it came out when i was a teen) was that Goku was a kid again after a full series (and a bit) of being an adult, so the vibe was always a bit..off. Now with Muppet Z-Fighters™ here coming out (assuming it'll be good, of course) people may look back on GT a bit better, who knows.
Either way its like 3 seasons so it's not a long watch!
Dragon Ball canon is so crazy already. I basically just ignore it. I don’t care what’s canon or not. I just want cool fights. It sounds like this show is for me.
100% then. Has some great enemies, plus several returning ones you'll recognize.
I think most if not all of the old movies aren't canon anyway or in some form adapted into the show.
Yeah, I actually meant the dragon ball super movies. But dragon ball canon is all over the place, so I’m really just in it for goku doing the goku thing.
The two Super movies are I think canon, introducing Broly as well as another character that has been teased into the canonical world. I'm not following the manga though, so no idea where it could even go from here either, but I do hope they continue the series. Overall I think Super is the best Dragonball we've had so far. It's just been too short.
Wasn’t GT an attempt to do a “kid” version and it basically went over like a lead balloon? What do they think will be different with the formula this time and why do they think people want to see kid fights?
Gt did not involve Toriyama, and the presence of kid goku is not why it's bad
Also, Dragonball. It literally started with kids fighting? Son Goku, the child Saiyan? Grandpa Gohan? Remember?
Yea, but the context is different. Dragon ball is the journey of children into young adulthood. Daima is literally what GT did. I get it though. It's meant to look cute and fun and keep a decades old series alive. Super involved Toriyama and that was not good. Entertaining and better than GT, but not good.
The creator being involved means nothing in terms of quality. Just look at George Lucas and the Prequels.
I never watched past episode 1 of GT. Pure trash.
Muppet Babies Z
I'll wait for abridged.
Cat loves food, yeah yeah yeah yeah
