Welcome to the Fantasy Zone
This Zone is dedicated to the lesser known elements of anime hosted by the cast of Victory Script.
What weapon is the best?
Who will win in this Death Battle?
Is this costume practical?
You name it, it's all covered here in the Fantasy Zone!
Welcome to another installment of Really That Bad? Where I attempt to defend a notoriously hated piece of anime or character, this time it's Dragonball GT.
Dragonball GT already had a tough act to follow in DBZ so were already on the back foot; common criticisms aimed at the show including turning Goku back into a child, largely mediocre villains, dumb stories and the fact that Pan is the anime equivalent of Scrappy Doo.
There is much to rag on, especially when much of the cast is reduced to the same level as Mr Satan barely doing anything and getting killed very easily.
But five reasons why I disagree with it being terrible.
1. It's a by product of the Buu Saga ending with a sequel hook and that saga dragged far worst than any of GT.
2. Super Saiyan 4 is legitimately awesome looking.
3. The Shenron Saga actually shows the consequences of the characters abuse of the Dragonballs.
4. Pan is hardly the most annoying character in the series
5. The ending felt final. Goku calling it done felt like the end of an era.
Well until Dragonball Super happened but that wasn't because of GT. Super actually happened because of the live action Dragonball Evolution flop. Toriyama was so disgusted by the live action film that he came out of retirement to do Super.
Also remember GT was never declared Canon as it was decided that GT along with the film series from Z are alternative timelines.
So overall Dragonball GT, not great but hardly the worst thing the franchise has produced.
End
