Dragon Ball GT: Season Two (Includes A Hero's Legacy movie) Review

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.

Dragon Ball GT: Season One Review

Unlike most of the people giving this a bad rap, I actually own the product in question. This is not just some kid howling because they hate DBGT since it's not as OMFG H4RDC0R3!!!1ONE!!!... THREE MONTHS BEFORE IT'S EVEN ON SHELVES. Come on.
The box itself is the same as the DBZ sets, although it is a few millimeters longer vertically, so it doesn't sit flush with the DBZ sets on a shelf. The booklet inside has some character biographies and short episode summaries. There is no "About the Transfer" blurb on the back of the booklet as there was on the back of the DBZ set booklets.
The transfer on here is pretty much on par with the DBZ remasters. Not a lot of spots or scratches to be found. There isn't any evidence of compression here even though they squeezed 34 episodes on 5 discs instead of the usual 6, so I was impressed. You are unable to switch the visuals to the original Japanese, so you're stuck seeing the "comical" Funimation episode titles.
The standard audio track is the 5.1 English dub with original Japanese audio, and they remade the opening track. Instead of the horrid rap track they originally made, they had Vic Mignogna sing the original Japanese track in English. Even if you switch the audio track to the US broadcast version, you will still hear this remade track. The rap version is nowhere to be found. The Japanese track is in mono as always.
Extras (on the 5th disc) are pretty sparse, following the recent DBZ box sets. You can see clean opening and ending videos as well as some trailers for upcoming releases, although they are a little dated. The Dragonball Z trailer is for Season Seven, which released last month. You'd think they would use the most recent trailer for Season Eight instead.
The set includes episodes 1-34 (Black Star and the majority of the Baby sagas), so it encompasses all of the "Lost Episodes" that were originally released out of order. The next box set, featuring SS4 Gogeta on the front, will include the last half of the series as well as the special "A Hero's Legacy" to wrap up the series. No release date was shown on the trailer.
Equipment used: XBOX360 Elite connected via HDMI to a 37" JVC Genessa 1080P television.

After enduring trials that would have crushed any other soul, Goku is now faced with the most important journey of his life. The Dragon Balls have been scattered to the ends of creation! The universe is dense with danger and the Saiyan hero must plunge head first into the peril, for if the seven magic relics of Shenron are not gathered within a year s time, Earth will meet with final catastrophe. Alongside his friends, Pan and Trunks, Goku will struggle against the most formidable evils yet, be they savage beast with the power to crumble mountains, false gods intent on sacrificing those who believe, or cruel manipulators of science who seek to strip the good of all power. The countdown to oblivion has begun... And before the clock strikes eternal midnight, the most incredible menace to ever threaten existence will rise!Stills from Dragon Ball GT: Season One (Click for larger image)
