Dragon Ball GT: The Worst of the Best or the Best of the Worst?
The nostalgia effect in Dragon Ball GT, for me, is extremely positive. It has always been something memorable, mainly because I remember very well watching the final fight of the anime and seeing the SSJ4 transformation for the first time. These memories are etched in my mind as good recollections, even more so because my first contact with any Dragon Ball-related item was precisely with a Baby Vegeta action figure. That's why I confidently affirm that, for many fans, the nostalgia factor directly influences the experience with the work; it makes everything more fun and makes the overall assessment less harsh. It was no different for me: if it weren't for this nostalgic attachment, my rating would certainly be lower.

Screw what the haters say i liked it. Being a little kid online as a dragon ball fan from like 2013-2015. DB GT always got shit on. I decided to give it a watch myself this year and I thoroughly enjoyed it, the beginning is very lighthearted adventure oriented, The Baby arc was peak (definitely my favorite part of GT), Super 17 felt random but was still good, and The Shadow Dragon arc was really good although the fight with omega shenron tended to drag on. All in all, I think if you like DBZ, DB GT is worth watching. I enjoyed it.

Oh boy, Dragon Ball GT is one of the most touchy subjects in the online Dragon Ball community. I still remember when it was super cool to universally hate on GT for basically everything it did to "ruin" Dragon Ball Z.
Nowadays, with Dragon Ball Super, there's a very vocal crowd—let’s call them a vocal minority—that heavily defends GT and at the very least claims it’s better than Super.
On a personal level, I’ve never really hated GT. Admittedly, before I knew it wasn’t canon, there were things I liked about it, but something always felt off—even from the beginning.
The elephant in the room is that making Goku a kid again for the whole series was a terrible idea. It might have worked for one arc, maybe up until the end of the Baby Saga, but for the entire 60+ episodes? I get that the wri…

First of all, I thought Dragon Ball GT is a good anime when I was a kid but when I rewatched the show, it is so bad. Especially that spoiled-brat character named Pan who is shouldn't be the one to take the lead. If Goten did ride that spaceship, hopefully the story will be different and more cooler than this, no cap.
Anyway, in the beginning Dragon Ball GT attempted to recreate the feeling that the original Dragon Ball had, but they ultimately failed. In later parts of the story, they tried to recreate the Vegeta Saga and 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.

Dragon Ball GT is an anime that will divide fans; I recommend it especially for those who watched Goku's adventures since childhood. Those who only watched Z might be disappointed.
Dragon Ball GT tries to bring back the nostalgia from the time when Goku was a child, introducing classic elements such as adventures in search of the Dragon Balls, a group, new places, and of course, the child Goku. The child Goku is already a disappointment because you would think that when Goku becomes a child, he becomes weaker, but he still transforms into SSJ without any problem, which is unrealistic.
I liked Trunks' personality, but I didn't like his outfit, which looks like that of a rich playboy. His outfit from the end of Z would have been better.
Goku maintains the same personality, with obvious di…

Dragon Ball Gt the 3rd db Series that came out some time after dbz
>Plot: (6/10)
-The first arc is a space jurney to find the dragon balls or rip earth oh and goku is now a child so in order to save the earth child goku, sakura of dragon ball (pan) and trunks (not future trunks) hop into a spaceship and head out on a jurney to find the dragon balls, after that we got 3 other arcs wich as ideas 2 of them could have been great but the execution wasn't good enough.
-The 2nd arc has some great fights an iconic transformation and suprisingly great storytelling
-The 3rd arc exists for the sake of it
-The 4th arc has great fights, a repeat of the 1st arc but without space and a better execution overall with a couple great villains and fights
>Animation/Fights: (7/10)

GT is not exactly impressive... but also not the absolute worst anime to ever exist, which is probably what you heard about it if you were a Dragon Ball fan in the early 2000s. It's been a goal of mine for a while to finally go back and watch it all the way through as an adult, form as unbiased an opinion of it as possible.
Long story short, GT was a tale with a lot of good ideas but poor execution.
The universe has an established afterlife where people retain their memories, consciousness, and the ability to continue to grow stronger. So the idea of all the past villains breaking out of hell, stronger than ever, to fight heroes who've gotten older and stagnated a bit in an era of peace? That could be a really great storyline. (It's generally a good thing when writers are able to manip…

Reseña en Español & English.
-------------------------------------------
Horrible beginning, the best ending.
Dragon Ball GT, the official sequel to the original Dragon Ball Z anime is, in a nutshell, terrible.
Full of inconsistencies, conveniences, repetitive scenes, poorly placed songs that kill the mood.
And even with that, the last arc of the evil dragons is one of the best of DB because it compiles the essence of the original story, the ridiculousness and fun along with the drama and other feelings.
6 out of 10 is an approximate value for what this series conveys. It's okay, it has good moments apart, lots of bad, boring, soporific and somniferous ones, but it holds its own with the last arc.

I'm only choosing to write this review because of how much I despised this series. It was easily one of the worst anime I've seen to date. I watched it a few years ago in the hopes that it was better than people said it was, and I almost immediately found out it was even worse. It took me over 3 months to watch it when I would have finished it in a week. It was a slog the whole way through, with almost no redeeming qualities. It tried to recreate the original series but lacks all of the charm, humor, and enjoyable fights. Most of the events could have easily been left out, as a good 50% of the series felt like filler. It left a nasty blemish on an otherwise enjoyable franchise.

This review is written as a long time fan of the franchise that watched Dragon Ball since the beginning. And considering it is a continuation of an existing franchise, it won't be possible for me to evaluate it based on its own.
I will use Japanese Terms mainly because I watched it mainly in Japanese. Whenver I know the English Terms, I will use them.
Story
Dragon Ball GT is a sequel to the original Anime Adaptation of Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga and thus the third series following Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.
An old enemy of the Main Character Son Goku discovered the existence of another set of Dragon Balls in the Heavenly Realm also called the Lookout.
These Dragon Balls have been sealed away for reasons not even the eldery Prince Pilaf knows. By accident he wishes from the new Drag…

This is the first time I have written a review.
I normally don't care for reviews.
But as someone who grew up watching Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, I have to do this.
I have to bring justice.
Dragon Ball GT is not only WAY OVERHATED, it is a way way better sequel than that dumpster fire that is Dragon Ball Super, which I might write a review for if I get pissed enough.
Why I like DBGT way more than DBS?
Because DBGT is a passion project.
DBS is a cash-grab. And it is fucking obvious.
This is not a series that can be enjoyed as a standalone. As in, if one hasn't watched DB AND (not or) DBZ, chances are, they are not gonna understand DBGT. This series is mainly a nostalgia ride, that wants its audience to experience all the charms of DB and DBZ one last time, all over again.

This is my personal opinion, so when reading, please, do not get personal.
Some of the qualities that DB (DB, DBZ and, as a more or less full-fledged successor to DB - DBGT) differ from Naruto and similar shonens are:
1. The absence of unnecessary chatter.
This is a huge plus for me personally. Tired of listening to this endless stream of words, in which there is more water than in a student's diploma. Heh, ironic, isn't it?
2. Characters and their motivation.
One of the main components of any work is its characters and their motivation.
The motivation of opponents should not be told to them, but shown by his actions, along the way, if necessary, clarifying the details. What makes it brighter and more alive.
A prime example is Frieza. What is his motivation? Obviously - the desire to a…

Good afternoon!
I am writing this review so that no one in their right mind should watch this parody of Dragon Ball.
Story.
The plot is ridiculous. As I understand it, Toei Animation tried to link the first two seasons and create something mixed between them, but their work failed miserably. The "Dragonball with Black Stars" and "Super 17" arcs are rubbish. The rest are a little better, although all arcs contain a number of plot holes and inconsistencies so much that it is impossible to watch with the brain turned on, as everything looks like some kind of circus.
Animation.
The drawing is worse than it was in the first season. Everything looks faded, which is why the perception of the picture is almost at zero. Thank you at least for maintaining the style of drawing that is characteristi…

When I first started Dragon Ball GT I had hopes that it wouldn't be as bad as people said it was. I was just coming off the back of DBZ and Super and I actually thought Super was much better than I had been led to believe, so with that in mind, I kept my mind open when it came to taking in Dragon Ball GT.
What I witnessed in the first 17 episodes of the show was by far the WORST Dragon Ball content I ever had to sit through. There were moments, specifically involving the para-para brothers, where I was worried this would lower my opinion of the entire franchise. As I mentioned in my DBZ review, I think it's a masterpiece. This however, is far from it.
However the show has one saving grace, one thing, character, that stops it from being complete trash unworthy of being seen by the human…

Dragon ball GT, unlike other Dragon balls, one of its main focuses is to make you feel emotional about what happens, and for me it worked.
A lot of people didn't like Dragon Ball GT because of the fact that Goku was back to being a kid, like he was in the classic, the fact that many characters were destroyed, like Vegeta, and the presence of some annoying characters like Pan.
A positive point in my opinion is that the villains are very striking and have their story very well explained, and parts of their sagas are very nice to watch.

Unpopular opinion, but i love DBGT. Now i understand that the majority do hate GT, i don´t and i will explain why. I first started with DB, then i moved unto DBZ and then finally DBGT. As far as i can see, most people who hate DBGT have never even watched the OG DB. Why is this important? Because DBGT has the same kind of adventure feel like OG DB has, but with fights resembling DBZ so one might say that DBGT is a hybrid between DB and DBZ. Which is probably why most DBZ fans do not like it. Now the arcs aren´t perfect and not executed well, but i think they are still pretty good. The ending was very good and left me satisfied. Yes GT is no longer canon, but i do not consider DBZ and DBS canon either because i don´t like them and they are very different from the OG DB. ( Yes i know DB mang…

This has got to be my all time favorite Dragon Ball anime. It's just so damn good! The best of both worlds, a merging of the original Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. Truly this is the perfect finale to the series.
I loved this show so much as a kid and even more as an adult, and when I first found out that there were people who attack and hate on this show, I was so shocked and confused. There are so many people who haven't even watched GT and they think they hate it just because its popular to hate. And they go a step beyond to try to knock it out of the Dragon Ball universe by dubbing it as "non-Canon" which is ridiculous because this is the sequel to the End of Z similar to how Z is the sequel to the End of DB. It would be silly for a DB fan to say Z isn't canon.
People are too afraid…

I hadn't watched anything dragon ball related until this year and i marathoned every dragon ball series. the only breaks I took were when watching some annoying fillers in the original dragon ball and the constant breaks I had to take while watching this show.
The best way to describe this anime is with the title of episode 6:"Like Pulling Teeth" it hurts seeing how they take the characters, world and ideas from the previous stories and just ruin them while desperately trying to recapture what the original and z did.
I remember a friend telling me that there was some good things near the end but it honestly feels like taking out the sprinkles from a poop ice-cream. they still taste like poop because of where they come from.
if you want to know if you should watch it to enjoy a show? the…

Toriyama had gotten so fed up with the franchise, he only made the character designs and left Toei to make whatever plot they could think of. The result was a mediocre show many came to hate as non-canon, since Toriyama, the genius of good storytelling, did not write a bunch of bullshit for somehow making the show any less terrible that it had already become. It’s kind of hypocritical on part of the fans to call it awful when most of them kept making fan fiction and fan art out of GT, regardless of not being canon. All it mattered was getting more damn Dragonball goddammit, so let’s stop complaining about something most eventually accepted as an excuse for writing and drawing. Toyotaro included.
The beginning of GT was somewhat promising, as it had to do with looking for the dragonballs a…

This is part of Dragon Ball, the most popular anime in the world, so the production of this anime is exceptional, many people deny this for not been canon, the art and music design is awesome, sadly the story became mediocre with terrible antagonists.
This Goku is a beautiful return to the original Dragon Ball, Trunks, Pan and Giru are a great and funny team, and i am more happy with that Dragon Bal than the super muscular fights of balls of energy in the same ways over and over.
The artwork and landscapes are some of my favorites in the whole industry, i prefer GT way more than super but the story is the skeleton and sadly, is funny but nothing memorable.
Still it is highly recommended to give it a try, a cusp in the classic animation style (before everything goes digital).
