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 read more

Oh boy, I'm stepping into unholy ground here!
This review will be going into just about every plot hole, very F up, just about everything that is terrible and wrong in DBGT that I can find or remember.

*Just so you know, I am a GIGANTIC DBZ FANBOY, and I do know DBZ isn't "perfect" and yes this review is nothing but a whinny nit-picking troll intended bash fest, so if you hate reading about hate or if you are not familiar with the majority of dragonball and most of the stuff that accurs before GT cause this review will spoil most of the "plot" of GT, 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 read more

I am a huge fan of dragon ball, and thought that dragon ball z was decent. But in all honesty I did not like Dragon ball GT. I tried to watch this anime, and got to about where Goku defeated baby then stopped, and I will tell you why.

there are several reasons why I didn't like this anime and here they are.

1. repetition. There was nothing unique about this anime in the slightest. I even recall one episode where they dressed trunks up like a girl to save this village, it was the EXACT same episode from dragon ball where Goku was dressed read more

People need to know, DBGT was created for advertising purposes in the mid 90s. Don't take it too seriously.

DB and DBZ where based on the mange, they had finished, along with the manga.
After the series ended, a new range of games in Japan where due to come out, his is the reason why this mediocre-at-best series was released, in order to keep the franchise frest in people's minds.

Breifing over...


DBGT focuses a lot on Goku's granddaughter Pan, a vaccant, needy teenager who freeloads on Trunks' spaceship as he prepares to go into search in serach of the dragonballs, universewide, with Goku.

The reason behind this read more

It sucks, period.
It has lots of plot-holes, and full of contradictions. Apparently, old-man Krillin is the strongest...
But lets get to the key points on why it sucks:

Story: Very poor. In the beginning, they attempted to recreate the feeling that the original Dragonball had, but they ultimately failed. In later parts of the story, they tried to recreate the Vegeta Saga, and later the Android Saga, but they have failed to keep me entertained. Overall, the story was full of disappointment. Instead of seeing other characters beating the enemies, Goku ends up doing so, which gets kind of repetitive.

Intro
In my personal opinion, I must comment that this is more following a fan fiction. It's meant to be an anime in it's own, but I beleive it's been dragged out too far, and if you didn't enjoy Dragonball Z, DONT CONSIDER GT!

Story
Okay, the story, dragged out from Z, Goku remains the strongest, more enemes that can't be killed, oh look here comes...SUPER SAIYAN 4! What a guess...I'm sure EVERYONE knew this was coming, it's not even a spoiler...especially if you google dragonball GT images. Super Saiyan 4 not strng enough to beat ultimate enemies forms...guess what happens? (Not SSJ 5, but's it's fairly obvious read more

The creator of the original story, Akira Toriyama, had just finished his Dragon Ball Z series. He decided to stop there, as the series was already way longer than it should. But the producers, seeing how famous it were, decided to continue the show on their own. Dragon Ball GT was the result, which dropped the extreme battles and returned to a more adventure/mystery element.

ART SECTION [Up in quality, down in action]

General Artwork 2/2: The world became scarier but is still quite wacky with little sense but also with extreme originality and humor. Makes a fine JRPG world. It definitely isn’t detailed or realistic but read more

Well were to start, GT is the sequel to the near to perfect Dragon Ball Z, and it fails on a whole new level, really it does. The first saga 'Black-Star Dragonball Saga' will probably put most people to sleep. Prepare yourself for Pan, the one reason i probably won't watch the series again. The next saga isn't much more interesting than the first, but it was an improvement. Well here's where GT starts to get a little better, the enemy in the next saga is likable and the saga itself is short and sweet. The last saga is the best IMO, it's the only read more

I've turned pretty sour on the Dragonball franchise after 12 years; Super saiyans, balls, androids, spirit bombs. I've grown a distaste for pretty much of this to the point that all I like from this series is Krillin and Piccolo, which makes Dragonball GT even more annoying since they're not in it, but I'll get to that. GT is, simply put, a gigantic insult to anyone who loved Z.
First off, I don't consider this a direct sequel or even a spin-off, it's a what-if made fan-fiction conceived by the unimpressive writing staff who worked under Toriyama. This proves just how flimsy the DBZ plot read more

Well, it's pretty hard to write a review about DBGT. Despite what everyone says about the anime, like the fact that it wasn't related to Akira's manga, I can't just say that I didn't enjoy watching it.

Story changed its main line suddently, but the "essence" didn't fade, in my opinion. The fighting theme still remained, as well as many other values, like hope and family. Strong bosses and great battles are also featured in it.

Of course, it can't be compared to DB and doesn't even get close to DBZ, but I laughed, I cried, I believed...

Since I watched it as kid (like DB and read more

---Dcm18's quick reviews---

Story: 7 (Starts really bad but later on turns out ok)
Art: 3 (Very poor, worse than it's prequel)
Sound: 8 (The music during the fights got a significant upgrade, more upbeat)
Character: 5 (Every good character gets worse...and pan is annoying as hell)
Enjoyment: 7 (Not much but watchable)

Overall: 6.0 (Fair ending to a great franchise, maybe this one shoul've never been done...)

Well, Most people write they did not like the series.
Hm, I have a different opinion.
The beginning episodes where a little poor, but later it became more enjoyable, especailly the 4th Sayan level.
Generally it's not so bad I think.
If you have watched Z version, you should watch it too, I think.
It's not the best, but quite OK.

story: they just needed some reason for it to keep going

art: same as earlier, might be slightly more dark/gritty, i dont know

sound: its like dbz

character: they had some different aliens, but most of them fought the same. i also would have rather had other people get stronger and not just goku/vegeta

enjoyment: it was alright cause it was just adventures going on to get the ballz. i did find some of the 'negative dragon' things cool.

overall, i would say that any expectations i had for this show after watching dragonball Z has been crushed to the ground.

due to Z's original creator, Akira Toriyama, absence from this series the storyline line as well as the type of villains were reused with different names but the main goals and abilities of each one was the same.

the first saga villain wanted to rule the universe, freeza from Z
the second saga villain was a parasite, cell from Z
the last saga villain was pure evil, buu from Z

the main character goku also suddenly goes from super hero to zero with him being reverted back to read more

The story is very good and entertaining & funny. In a few last episodes I feel kind of bored. But overall the story is not dissapointing and entertaining.

Th character & art are awesome. Everyone knows that Akira Toriyama is a good character designer.
