SynopsisGoku, the hero who destroyed the evil of Frieza, Cell, and Buu in DBZ, learns that an old foe, Emperor Pilaf from DB has captured the 7 magical Black Star Dragon Balls, which, at the cost of the planet the balls are on, can grant any wish. Pilaf wishes that Goku is a child, and Goku becomes a child. In order to save both the planet and restore Goku to adulthood, Goku must allience himself with Trunks and his grandaughter Pan to find all 7 Balls all over the universe. Over time, they encounter foes like Baby, Super 17, and the invinsible Shadow Dragons.
Taking place 10 years after the final Dragonball Z story, Pilaf finally manages to get all 7 dragonballs and makes a wish. Unfortunately for Pilaf, he gets flustered by the presence of Goku and wishes for Goku to be a child again so that Pilaf could "teach him a lesson." Pilaf gets his wish, and Goku is off on an interstellar trip to gather the 7 "Black Star Dragonballs" that can reverse the wish and return him to adulthood. (from ANN) |

Picking up where Dragonball Z left off, Dragonball GT is considered by many as a poor final chapter to the Dragonball franchise. In some cases, they are right, as this is the only series not based off of Toriyama's manga and said manga-ka also had little to do with the series. However, judging it solely on that is unfair, so I'll try to do my best at giving GT a proper review.
The one major thing that Dragonball GT suffers from is an identity crisis. It starts off as a primarily comedy anime with action as a secondary, something that worked very well for Dragonball and occasionally worked here as well. Unfortunately, the series received poor ratings, mainly because everyone wanted more action and less goofing off. At about Episode 17, the focus shifted from comedy to action, and that's also when the plot started to suffer. It's difficult to be original when one uses plot devices that have been seen in so many other anime, not to mention done better. And as well all know, with a lack of originality comes boredom. At least this series is "only" 64 episodes in length, so it's not as much of a chore to sit through as, say, Dragonball Z.
On an more positive note, the art and animation received a nice upgrade. Some of the character designs are a bit iffy, but it's still passable. The music is also rather good, especially the opening, DAN DAN Kokoro Hikareteku, and all four endings. I can safely say that I enjoy listening to all five songs on a regular basis. The fights are enjoyable more often than not, though once again, I've seen better...much better.
It may be far from perfect, but Dragonball GT at least makes an attempt to be entertaining. If you still want to watch, then by all means, go for it. Just don't expect too much, and enjoy the opening and endings as they come. read more

Dragonball GT is a so-called "sequel" to the ultra famous Dragonball series, but unlike its prequels GT just sucked. The animation made it look like Goku was a stick figure given plastic 6 packs or something. Same goes for Trunks.
The good and bad points about this anime:
GOOD: If you actually live through this entire series, you just proved yourself to have unlimited patience
BAD: If you actually watched all the episodes (like me), you better find a hobby or counseling, fast.
Honestly I only watched all that because of my love for Dragonball when I was very little, and as of that, I finished this anime when I was very little. And boy did it warp my fragile little mind.
I'm not going to go any farther, but I'll say that the story is like the same thing as Dragonball, but with more "evil" guys that make Hercule look like Cell. If you're curious about this anime, then watch it, but I warn you, many viewers are going to tear up their computers, curse themselves, and swear never to watch another anime again. Thats kamehameha for you. read more
