4.0 out of 5 stars The end of the Dragon Ball franchise, and a great season set, May 22, 2009

This review is from: Dragon Ball GT: Season Two (Includes A Hero's Legacy) (DVD)

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.

After a long and intense battle, Goku and company finally manage to do away with the Tuffle threat brought on by the evil Baby. Everything seems to be back to normal finally, but of course, things don't stay that way long in the Dragon Ball Universe.

Two evil scientists meet up in hell and create a clone of Android 17, who fuses with the Android 17 on Earth - creating Super 17, a deadly new Android opponent threatening the safety of the world. As if things weren't already bad enough, old foes are escaping from Hell and roaming the Earth!

And then, things only get worse. Overuse of the Dragon Balls has resulted in them cracking, and releasing evil dragons our heroes must now do battle with. Seven dragons, each deadlier than the last. Will our heroes survie this, the ultimate decisive battle for Earth's safety?

The A Hero's Legacy movie, set 100 years after Dragon Ball GT, is included as well, following the exploits of Pan's grandson, Goku Jr.

The DVD set is divided amongst five discs, and contains the second half of Dragon Ball GT, plus the Hero's Legacy special. 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.

If you're familiar with the Dragonball franchise, than you know what to expect. Dragonball GT usually gets a bum rap by fans of the franchise, but I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. While not as action-packed as Dragonball Z, and not as funny and slapstick as Dragonball, I felt it found a decent balance between the two, with some good fight scenes and some comedic moments.

This season starts off finishing off the Baby Saga. I found the story of this saga a little weak, but overall it provides alot of action, so it's a strong finish.
Next we have the Super 17 Saga, which is a great view for those who have been following the show, since they throw in alot of nostalgia, bringing back old villians and characters. This is, however, a very short saga, which is a shame because it had potential for alot more story and twists.
The third and final saga here is the Black Star Dragon saga. It seems alot of people find this saga the best out of all of Dragonball GT, but I actually found this a little weak. The story doesn't come together like it should, and there was so much potential for alot more intense action, that they didn't really capitalize on. The cover of this season showcases SS4 Gogeta, but we really only get an episode or two of him.
And lastly, thrown in with this season, is the only Dragonball GT movie they made, "A Heroes Legacy". I've read some reviews about this movie being boring and pointless, but I completely disagree. It's a little heart-warming story, that is very remeniscent of early Dragonball. It makes it feel like the series goes full circle, which I thought was a great way to end it.

Overall, if you're a fan of the previous shows, invest in this one, and you won't be dissapointed. The story has its plotholes, but the animation looks good and the three language tracks gives you alot of option for how you listen to it, depending on which track you're a fan of (I personally prefer English with American music). Although they are remaking Dragonball Z with the new Dragonball Kai, it looks like we're not going to be recieving anything new, so take assurance knowing that this is most likely the last season in the story of dragonball you can own, and that's something worth having.

Length:: 2:53 Mins

All good things must come to an end. The Dragon Ball GT name has been thrown in the mud ever since its release. Some fans really enjoy it and some just down right hated the entire concept. I for one found the series to be right in middle. It wasn't as great as DB or DBZ but it was still a series I could handle. You can tell from the very first episode that the magic is gone. The creator of the series really had little to do with the evolution of GT. That being said, it's probably a big factor as to why the series didn't do so well.
When the show initially aired in the US they skipped about 16 episodes which were later released and titled as "The Lost Episodes". That probably created some confusion among the masses.
If you've never seen Dragon Ball episode in your entire life, this is not the season to start with. If you start here you won't be lost. But considering what an affordable price it is, it's definitely worth picking up. The set includes the final remaining episodes and one OAV episode or a movie as the box set labels. I don't consider it to be a movie or an OAV as the animation was horrible. It seemed like a regular episode to me.
