So I have been hearing a lot of poo poo about Xenoverse but I had no interest in it until I learned there there is strong evidence Pan will be in it. She is not in enough games.
Kinda regret getting Infinite World now...but ah well, this can tide me over until Xenoverse comes out in a few months.

I wonder if they can actually find her dub voice-actress, she hasn't been in anything in like ten years and also Funi was a bit merciless with recasting a lot of the voices for far more iconic roles than Pan's. Nobody even gave Stephanie Nadolny a phone call when they were doing Kai to let her know Gohan had been replaced. She has to learn of it from fans on the Internet.

I love that half the content was references to other horror films, especially the Insidious reference.

I have. I actually own the DVDs.

GT is...not very good, but it looks amazing. Love the designs and art style and even the haters seem to think the animation holds up well.

Plus it continues the fine Dragonball tradition of having great OPs.

I will admit this, Funi's dub score this time around did GT no favors. GT needs all the help it can get and, if anything, Funi's soundtrack only made things worse. The original Japanese music isn't bad.

Although I wish this song had actually been in the anime.

For balance, I think the art style and designs are complete garbage! I can't recall if the anime is any good, and I don't especially care to find out, so I'll take your word for it.

Most of the GT designs are loving awful looking designs straight out of the 90s especially Baby-Vegeta's forms and half of the Dark Dragons. Honestly, Baby's design apes from a superior character altogether, Majin Buu.

I've haven't actually watched Dragonball GT since I was like 12 but the Super Saiyan 4 designs are seriously the worst things in the Dragonball universe and I can't remember a single thing about any of the villains.

Completely agree, though there are people in this thread who apparently think it's awesome.

I tried to give GT a fair shake when it was first out in America, but I couldn't get into it because it looks so bad.

I don't give SS4 as much poo poo as I should probably because every other design is so loving awful that it's less offensive by comparison. I think the only good design in GT was Pan and she made up for it by being obnoxious.

NikkolasKing

SSJ4 is at least creative, which is more than anyone can say for SSJ2 and 3, the former of which is so lazy it would make Tite Kubo say "drat, try harder."

As for looking "incredibly 90s", perhaps that's because it came out then. Just like DB came out in the 80s and has a ton of very 80s designs. Neither fact bothers me at all or else I probably wouldn't watch old television shows.

I will agree though that Pan has my favorite design in the show.

No, the animation is garbage too, especially during fights. There's one point in the last fight where they repeated the exact same animation two or three times in a five minute span.

Reverting to Goku's old design and giving him makeup and red hair is about one of the least creative things in the show.

Plus while SS2 and 3 may not be creative, at least they followed a pattern that 4 just kind of ignored for some reason.

SSJ2's design also works in the sense that it wasn't really meant as another transformation at the time, it was just a perfected SSJ, having it look too different would be a little daft.

Your entire argument kind of falls apart when you said SSJ4 Goku had red hair.

I mean, come on, GT is bad enough on its own, you don't have to make up things.

That would be called "fur" because Saiyans are monkeys. Hair is that stuff on your head. Like, SSJ4 Gogeta has red hair.

I've never seen anyone say SSJ4 Goku had red hair. Probably because "red hair' makes you think Carrot Top, not SSJ4, which has black hair. And that's kind of extremely significant seeing as all other forms of SSJ have blond hair.

Also regarding Satan's response, it was a good episode. Let's face it, this thread is pretty much a unofficial Team Fourstar thread, we do talk about DBZA alot.

Now the only thing I can think of that Piccolo could do on Gast is Mafuba, but that was already done in the Tien/ZenBuu fight, so I feel like that's kind of been played out this round.

this was a pretty good episode but not quite as good as the other four. It's not really the fault of the teamfourstar, the fifth episode of hellsing ultimate is for the most part, a boring set up episode.

That and Hellsing Ultimate is already an abridged show, I mean some times they don't even change the jokes or characters from the show.

Never seen Hellsing ultimate, but I'll take your word for it. I wish they'd break their once per year rule to put out ep 6 early. :( This episode was decent, but it's definitely missing something without Alucard doing Alucard poo poo.

You won't see alucard in episode 6 either. Episode 6 is some Iscariot nonsense and then the attack on the estate. I don't think alucard actually makes his return until episode 7 or 8 in any real fashion.
