  • Dragon Ball has some great TV Specials and today I am going to watch The History of Trunks and Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy.
    Dragon Ball Heroes has been calling my name lately and I've been ignoring it for as long as I can. In this review of the specials I look at the story and the inconsistencies with each one.
    Will I like a Dragon Ball GT Story? STAY TUNED!

      No. But perhaps that special is.

      Since it doesn't follow any manga arc structure the pacing is shit and the fights suck
      But it's not nearly as bad as people say

      It's okay. I loved ssj4 and the return of saiyans actually relying on a ''primal'' state other than just a blonde/golden warrior of anger ( i love super saiyans tho)

      It has good aspects and themes but overall has too many parts of wasted potential and annoying parts which honestly hurts it more than super because it’s an end point. It might’ve been the timing that gave it a retroactively bad rep but also possible burn out.

      @MultiTarded This youtube video isn't film though, it's digital. No film reels were involved here. Film and movie are synonyms, "movie" literally meaning moving pictures and "film" referring to the rolls of film on reels from which those moving pictures are projected. Playing in theaters doesn't have anything to do with the classification, there are made-for-t.v. movies after all.

    • @MattManDX1
      @MattManDX1 5 років тому +2

      @MultiTarded Wartime propaganda commercials wouldn't be film either since they're commercials, just like how an advertisement for a The Lord of the Rings wouldn't be called a movie. "Movie" is just a slang term for motion picture and "Film" is just a slang term for the same thing but referencing the material used to store the pictures. Oh and if it's not daytime then the phrase would be "good evening".

      @Brandon I genuinely don't see what's so bad about the Black Star Saga. It's always been my favorite, is arguably one of the most memorable aspects about GT ( or at least as much as the other Saga's). I get it has its flaws, everything does, but from an objective point of view, it serves it's purpose in the story pretty darn well.

    I always loved the Goku Jr special. It was such a good story. I literally felt sad and depressed since it was literally the end of Dragon Ball. This shit had me all emotional lol. Old anime can really hit you in the gut man. More than these new anime.
    EDIT:
    Let me clarify some things a bit because I think my original comment portray's the wrong message here. I never have and never will say that new anime sucks as I mostly watch new anime anyway. A ton of new anime can seriously punch you in the gut and pull at your heart strings when its done right and a lot of em do indeed get it right like Clannad, A Lull in The Sea, Hero Academia, Anohana for example. New anime is awesome. I'm currently waiting on Demon Slayer movie to come out lol. I hope we get a season 2 and I can't wait for Attack On Titan S4!
    I don't watch much older anime tbh but I feel like when I do, they tend to get me right in the feels a bit more than new anime sometimes. I think its a combination of the visual style, lighting and that sad violin orchestra music I suppose. I dunno lol. Hope that cleared things up.

Don't get me wrong i love cooler and Turles even though both don't really have a story or even much character espically turles until xenoverse 2 that is. This is kinda why i'd like another special that isn't hinged on the fact that it has to be for the kids or has to be so happy go lucky. Even if that isn't very possible.

    Easy. Just look at the character's of the Androids. They were always going on about how bored they are, and Trunks was amusing and weak enough to be left alive for a bit longer, especially with Gohan's death. They probably should have made that a bit more obvious though.

If they really wanted to leave him alive, they would've just left him there lying unconscious instead of going out of their way to deliver a killing blow (with tons of dramatic emphasis no less).

    I was first introduced to Trunks' backstory by the Japanese manga, so when I read an anime-comic book (a manga book made of captures of the show) it felt strange that Trunks didn't have his SS form before the death of Gohan (he has it in the manga). But it works pretty well and does'nt affect the overall narrative so I guess I was too picky back then.

I am among them that think Dragon Ball GT is actually good, not amazing, but not as terrible as people say. This one shows what Dragon Ball should be all about. Think about it, the best stories are where the focus is on getting the Dragon Balls, and it falters when it focuses on only fights.
    If they release a new Dragon Ball where Goku is not the main, heck where none of the classic characters appears, I'll be 100% over that thing. Scratch the z warriors, scratch the Saiyans and scratch the epic larger than life fights. Just focus on someone trying to get the Dragon Balls to get a wish granted, making friends, enemies and having adventures. That's what a Dragon Ball tale is.

    12:12 "Why has no one talked about this" Age, my friend. Also the fact that most people that watch anime nowadays stray away from anything related to dbz. Especially people that have only started watching it. I know Dbz is widely popular around the globe, but i somehow still don't feel like it gets the love it deserves. This may sound like bs coming from a fanboy but i really feel like it isn't.

    If Goku Jr. didn’t turn super saiyan, that movie would have been perfect

      It was worse than "tingling feeling" or something from Kefla's transformation in DBS.

      ? It’s a representation of the cathartic moment of Goku Jr. finally being able to live up to his predecessor’s courage and strength, signifying that this journey has made Goku Jr. a better person. What’s wrong with that?

    The Hero's Legacy is probably the best thing about GT by far. Made my cry hard, even now I shed a few tears when you mentioned the ending of it.

    I've never seen this full version of the GT special and I know death is definitely not a new concept for Dragonball, but wow Puck just straight up died. I know he was Goku Jr.s bully at first but he ended up going with him on his journey after gaining respect for his courage and determination. Not to mention he attempted to save Goku Jr. and ended up falling in himself. The series has had darker moments than this but seeing that honestly I'm kinda speechless
