Dragon Ball GT: Gokuu Gaiden! Yuuki no Akashi wa Suushinchuu

As someone who didn't enjoy GT, I enjoyed this. If I were in charge of the GT project I would have done something similar to this.

This anime has a "Dragon Ball" feel to it as instead of having an extremely strong protagonist we have a child who goes on an adventure. (Just like in Dragon Ball). I found the main character to be quite likable as he reminded me of Goku, with how caring he is.

The color pallet gives the show a nice bright look, just like what you would see in GT. Which of course fits this show really well as this adventure isn't ... as serious as the Dragon Ball Z series was.

Goku.JR has the same voice actor as Goku and Gohan as kids(in the english dub). Which I honestly don't get, but I like the voice any way as I am quite used to it.

I mostly like a lot of things Dragon ball related in general but I do feel A Hero's Legacy is sort of a forgotten relative within the franchise.

I actually think this was a pretty good special that had some good aspects about it like it's story about this Goku looking child who is the grandson of Pan. Pan obtained a illness and Goku Jr has to find out about the Dragon Balls being something he remembers knowing about from his grandmother Pan. We don't know his Father/Mother all we know is that he is part of the Son Family.

I like Goku Jr a lot, He ... is a timid and shy child who doesn't want to fight most of the time and was picked on and bullied by those his age and mostly wanted no trouble.

But keep in mind that Goku Jr hardly has any Saiyan genes, and that he hasn't trained much but he still has Saiyan blood in his DNA that lies a Saiyan trait is deep within him like any other Saiyan even if he is mostly a novice when it comes to battle but that's why I found him relatable.

He starts learning things the hard way even for a small child. The special is mostly about trying to overcome personal obstacles at heart While trying to uncover a spark of bravery to live up to his Saiyan ancestor such as Son Goku as well as rising above past events, not just a typical underdog story but finding a sense of connection during tough periods of time which you see from Goku jr along with unlikely company in Puck who is another good character in this.

The villains are mostly forgetful but they do harken back to some traditional enemies we had in the past of dragon ball which in turn benefits Goku Jr's first outing into unknown horizons. Some parts are left ambiguous for the viewers while watching this since this takes place far into the future of Dragon ball GT.

The artwork is really nice and the soundtrack is great.

The Ending of this is also a really good one as well that honestly makes watching this worth it.

Just when you thought GT was the worst possible Dragon Ball animation ever produced, they hit you with the TV special. I would class this with the Star Wars holiday special, in its total lack of merit and besmirchment upon its parent franchise. This 45 minute charade contains almost no fighting, and the only commonalities with any Dragon Ball you've ever experienced are limited to character likenesses and child anatomy presented for humor. While not its only trespass, the greatest of its sins is its sinister deception of the audience, leading them to believe this will bear some semblance to the Dragon Ball they know ... and love. Close behind is the fact that it presents us with an unlikable main character who is just as terrible at the end of the story as he is at the beginning.

Watch this if you want to see a wimpy character, undeservingly inhabiting the visage of Goku cause all sorts of terrible things and never change for the better.
