Despite the controversial and sometimes more negative opinions fans have on this show, I'll always love it, even the black star dragon ball saga. I found it to be a lot of fun overall and lets not forget how it gave us SSJ4, which is one of my favourite transformations in the entire series. So I'll always be grateful for all the good this series has done. Great video as usual

[@bri-manhunter2654]

GT by far has the best musical score, hands down!

[@johnbob5137]

Watching it on toonami back in the day was lit for me I fully enjoyed the series...I remember a few people here n there on forums saying that GT sucked then all of a sudden u see it on yt and then that was it every one all of a sudden hated it

[@50shadesofmatthewsmith17]

​@macktruck8331 yeah thats what's confusing me, I'm kind of a new fan, went a bit backwards, so I've watched super and I'm like 120 odd episodes into Z (trunks has just cut mecha-frieza in half) is GT Canon? Like something I need to watch? I've heard it's like an alt universe, but obviously pilaf and stuff are kids in super again, then Pan is a baby somewhere in super, which is set further from the buu saga right?

Hercule standing up to Great Ape Baby while every other Saiyan is down knowing he has no chance just to try to protect his granddaughter was the highlight of the whole GT for me. He wasn't a hero because of circumstances, Hercule deserves to be known as the world's bravest man.

Baby will always be one of my favorite anime villains. His design as Baby Vegeta just looks so cool

[@kanardy]

@bigzoinks93 Nothing specific really, it's just a strange juxtaposition of zany behavior/antics and serious moments that I just thought felt strange coming from watching DB and DBZ. But don't let that stop you from watching it yourself I still recommend it to any DragonBall fan 😉

Back when GT aired I started watching it but dropped a bit into Baby's arch because I never really got invested in GT as a whole. I remained curious about some of the stuff there but never went back to watching it, and I'm loving this video as it has great cuts and a good synthesis of the story. I'm more invested in this than I remeber being in GT back then xD Thank you for this and congrats on the great work.

I remember when I first seen it in the early 2000s on the Syfy channel it aired at 4:00am so I couldn't watch all of it because I had school but I remember being blown away because I was watching DBZ on Toonami in the afternoon after school homework.

[@CaineOs]

​@@jz1612 In NZ to watch DBZ, we shared a television network with Australia called SKY. There was a channel called Cartoon Network, that eventually became shared with Nickelodeon that aired during the day. DBZ was aired in the Toonami slot, but at 1am, so I used to book the show through the sky UHF decoder unit and set the VCR to record at a specified time slop. Ild then dub it over to another tape to take the ad breaks out but noticed loss in quality as I used Long Play. I dont think GT aired here? DBS definitely did.
