American fans are typically fairly intellectual people, often young people in college or grown adults.
Though some anime fans don't realize it, the average Japanese viewer is not like an American fan. I heard this show was actually cancelled before it even finished its run, which is practically unheard of with anime (the only other instance I've heard of is the original Gundam's mid-series cancellation, and those 70's people didn't know a good thing when they saw it). This was created by the TV people, more specifically Toei Animation, because Toriyama wanted to give Dragonball a rest and move on with his career, but Toei wanted more green (or whatever color Japanese money is). This is because Akira Toriyama, past scribbling a few robot designs, had absolutely nothing to do with this show.
Luckily for all you big-time Akira Toriyama fans, you have nothing to worry about, because this pathetic end to the Dragonball saga won't be tarnishing your favorite show's name. The only reason I even watched GT is because maybe I held some little flickering light of hope within me that this show would be more like the original Dragonball's comedic adventures. I have been planning to tackle Z first of course, but seeing as materials for GT are easier to find I may do that first.I liked Dragonball. I believe that Animax(or some station in Japan)still airs episodes of Dragon Ball GT with it’s original stereo audio(the first few episodes were in mono the rest in stereo)synced to Dragon Box footage and I believe there is a bootleg Mandiran release of the series that uses master sent to TV stations with high quality mono audio. If anyone has ANY episodes that I don’t have or knows where I can go/who I can contact to find something PLEASE let me know. I know there was a Japanese release called the “Big Box” in the late 90’s that included the original master audio for 2 episodes later in the series but have been unable to find a copy.
I already have the audio for episode 153 of Dragon Ball and episodes 1-17 and 95 of DBZ. Now this is the tricky part: I insist on using the original Japanese broadcast audio but it is rather hard to find, especially for all of the series.
I also have the uncut Funimation audio with the original Kikuchi score and plan to get the uncut dub with the Faulconer score as well. I will be using these programs to color correct the footage and put the next episode previews in their proper place before the credits. For video editing I have Virtualdub, Avidemux and Premiere Pro. I will make sure that they are the best encodes they can be to preserve quality(no I WILL NOT be scrubbing the image. I have the high quality rips and iso’s of the R2 Dragon Box sets which I will be using for the footage.
