DVD Reviews of Dragon Ball GT: Season One
DVD Review: Dragon Ball GT gets the season set treatment
Summary: 4 Stars
Dragon Ball Z was the one greatest anime series ever created. With its action-packed universe and compelling storylines, Akira Toriyama's magnum opus had never failed to please. It was succeeded by Dragon Ball GT - a series created by Toei Animation, with only minor involvement from Toriyama. Unlike the first two series, GT has been met with a mixed reception.
Several years have passed since the end of Dragon Ball Z. Goku has left home for Kami's Lookout, and has been training Uub, the boy he met at the end of DBZ at a World Martial Arts Tournament. Unfortunately, things quickly go downhill for the Dragon Ball crew. Emperor Pilaf, Goku's oldest nemesis, has accidentally turned Goku back into a child using an older set of Dragon Balls. They have scattered across the universe, and if they aren't returned to their planet of origin, the Earth will be destroyed in a year! Goku (now a child again), his granddaughter Pan, and Trunks set off on a galactic adventure to recover them. After numerous adventures, they meet up with Baby, a mutant creation made by a race the Saiyans once wiped out. Our heroes may be in over their heads this time, as Baby is one of the strongest villains they will ever face.
The DVD set is divided amongst five discs, and contains the first half of Dragon Ball GT. The picture has been subjected to digital noise reduction, and the set includes a booklet of character profiles and episode listings.
Obviously, if you're new to the Dragon Ball franchise, you'll want to start with the earlier series, but if you're already a fan and have seen everything prior, checking out GT may be worth your time. Just don't compare the series to Z. It's not even in the same league, largely due to Toriyama's lack of involvement. Still, the series is nowhere near as bad as everyone says.
One of my personal favorite features of the set is the Marathon feature. FUNimation includes a feature in these sets that allows you to view all of the episodes on each disc from start to end with no interruptions from intros/outros/recaps/etc. This is an extremely handy feature I wish more TV shows on DVD had.
Like the Z season sets, this one has been given some digital noise reduction, though the picture isn't massively improved over the older individual DVD releases, if at all. Fortunately, unlike the Z sets, GT has NOT been cropped!
Sound quality is similar to the earlier sets. English audio quality is fantastic, but the dub is still translated poorly and the voice cast is hit and miss. On the other hand, the Japanese audio quality is poor, showing its age, but it does feature a well-translated subtitle track from Steven J. Simmons that lets you experience the series as originally intended.
Additionally, like the earlier sets, you have the option of watching the English voice cast played against the original Japanese audio.
And unlike the Z sets, the GT ones actually have the next episode previews intact!
No special features are included here unless you count the trailers and the same textless opening/closing sequence all other sets like this have had. On the good side, the set does include a booklet similar to the earlier sets, with character profiles and an episode guide, making it handy to go right where you need to go on the DVDs.
It's another good season set for the Dragon Ball franchise, enough said. GT isn't my favorite series, but worth watching at least once. If you're a fan of the franchise and don't already have these episodes, you can get them all here for one low price. Issues with the series itself aside, this is a great set, and a good value, especially compared to the older DVD releases.
Highly recommended to any fan of Dragon Ball GT.
