DarkBuster22904 07/26/23 10:02:23 PM #13:	OG Dragonball is fantastic DBZ is, of course, iconic. Skip the Garlic Jr Saga, and the filler getting to Namek. DBGT is hot garbage. Cool ideas mired by God awful execution. And it's non canon, so it's worthless, too. Most of the movies are skipable. The only "essential" movies are Battle of Gods, Resurrection F, Dragonball Super: Broly (note: this is VERY different from the three DBZ broly movies), and Super Hero. Honorable mentions go to History of Trunks (which is fantastic), and Bardock: Father of Goku (which is also fantastic, but non canon, so non-essential) Super has problems, but a lot of good moments, too.

geno_16 07/26/23 10:32:48 PM #25:	The original DB is a fun series that's really easy to watch. DBZ is obviously it's most well known and iconic iteration, although objectively I do think a degree of nostalgia is required to enjoy a lot of it, especially the Buu Saga. Honestly I thought GT was okay for the first arc when it was kind of paying homage to the original, a light-hearted journey through the galaxy for the Dragonballs, but the rest was beyond awful. As soon as you see Baby, get the fuck out of there. Super had it's moments, frankly I enjoyed the Goku Black and Tournament of Power arcs for what they were, but it pales in comparison to DB and DBZ. Maybe it's just because it doesn't have the nostalgia factor. The movies are dumb non-canon affairs until the Super movies which are dumb canon affairs. <cite>geno_16 posted [p:975087741] in What Drago...

Dragonball GT you can skip over Super 17 Dragonball Super you can skip over anything to do with Monaka and the slime warriors.

Super_Slash 07/27/23 3:10:44 AM #29:	There are only a few movies worth watching, but a number of them directly contradict their own timeline. Example: movie 12 takes place during the Buu saga, but there's no point in that arc where it would make sense for that movie to happen (~~Vegeta is still dead in the film but discovers Goku can go SSJ3, yet in the series, he does not know of this until after he's revived. I think that's correct at least~~). It's still one of the best, though. If you just want canon stuff, watch the original DB (skip the fillers, animefillerlist.com has a comprehensive list), then watch DB Kai (the original Z is pretty terrible nowadays; not only is the pacing atrocious, but so is the dialogue), then Battle of Gods and Resurrection F and continue with Super from that point on. Really though, from what I've seen of GT, it is worth watching as well (I personally LOVE the Baby arc). At the very least, it's more visually pleasing than Super. <cite>Super_Slash posted [p:975090859] in What Drago...

As for DBZ, definitely watch Kai if you can. Better script and much more time efficient.

For starters there are actual stakes without moving goalpost gods around who could fix everything if they chose to, and Goku hasnt regressed to being a complete idiot. GT Goku is the most mature the character has ever been.And while GT has super wonky power scaling, Super is possibly even worse.Part of the problem with GT is that everyone saw it in English, which utterly stripped out much of its soul.</quote>From what I know of Super I agree with you. GT was great. I'd say it's the only non-canon DB material that you probably really should see.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Either way we dont need to get sidetracked into GT vs Super. I reiterate what I said. Watch what you want to, not what counts in terms of canon. If you can get something out of both, then both were worth watching. GT is further held back by its first arc is its weakest. You can safely watch episode 1 and then skip to the Sigma Force and General Rilldo.

Gobstoppers12 07/27/23 4:41:15 AM #37:	Liu_Kano posted... Should I bother with regular Dragonball Yes Liu_Kano posted... GT No. Liu_Kano posted... the standalone movies For the Z movies/specials, watch them if you want some short and sweet action scenes without much plot and absolutely no significance to the overall story line. Bardock: Father of Goku and History of Trunks are exceptions, since they're actually canon (mostly) and have some interesting backstory. Then, Battle of Gods is canon again, and so is Resurrection F. From there, you can skip the first two arcs of Super pretty easily and start with the Universe 6 Tournament arc. --- (He/Him) I write Naruto Fanfiction.

Enclave 07/27/23 4:44:54 AM #38:	DarkBuster22904 posted... Super has problems, but a lot of good moments, too. Skip the first two arcs, as they're just shitty retellings of Battle of God's and Resurrection F. Super is inconsistent. I do rather dislike how it became the Goku and Vegeta show but at least it seems how well Super Hero performed has convinced them that maybe people like seeing characters other than those 2 getting the spotlight sometimes. --- The commercial says that Church isn't for perfect people, I guess that's why I'm an atheist. <cite>Enclave posted [p:975091370] in What Drago...

Dalthine 07/27/23 6:34:04 AM #44:	Obviously any opinion on what's good or not is subjective. I will just add on to the pile of saying the original Dragonball was good and worth watching. It was something I found significantly more enjoyable than Z, and I went back and watched it after Z was done.

As said before, whether you want to watch it or not should have nothing to do with what is and isnt canon. Its meant to be enjoyed, not to score nerd points.
