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…

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…

Best show I've ever seen in my life, characters are astounding, Goku is clearly the strongest being in all of anime its no comp with anyone he fights, sorry 🥴. Story is immaculate and perfect in every way, by the way no one can beat Goku Son. GT is so under appreciated, I love how many episodes it takes to end a fight it never gets stale and vegeta's leather pants are a great fit for the character and make the experience of him on screen even better. (Whole lotta red... more like whole lotta skips am I right) Goku turning into a child is genius in every way people obviously just can't comprehend it. Rachel and Ross are a perfect fit for each other I don't understand why people would say they shouldn't get married. (I'm biracial btw)

I never understood all the hate GT got, I always liked this show and after seeing Super I appreciate it even more. Being filler doesn't automatically make a show bad.
GT doesn't just repeat arcs with little twists to make you think it's original like Super does, like Trunks coming from the future or a martial arts tournament, GT is creative and doesn't try to copy anything. Plus it has strong and interesting villains! Baby who can take over everyones bodies and Omega Shenron who absorbs the dragon balls to gain power.
Also the transformations are wayyyy more unique, not just recoloring Super Saiyan to blue. Super Saiyan 4 is an entirely new transformation and it's completely shown how it happens in an intense situation.
GT is full of great moments that I''ll always remember. I think thi…

It's good ending with great story! The characters are outstanding to me! I am first time to write the review about this. Dragon Ball GT is quite good anime and have joy ending...I want to learn more about Son Goku or Kakarrot. It's magnificently scenes of battle!!!
One thing, I can only tell you is secret! You have to watch if you want to know what happens in 5 years after Goku trained Uub/Oob whose became his mentor Goku. And I can feel that I am in bit of sad because it does have good ending!
It's good number of episodes and great story from 1-64. I know it is not much to say because I cannot gives more spoiler. But my overall of rating is 9.5.

Dragon Ball GT. What can I say about it? Have you ever experienced something that is so perfect and beyond your wildest dreams that it almost seems not real? Well that's this show. GT is easily the best series to carry the Dragon Ball name, easily surpassing the original Dragon Ball and Z in both character development, plot, fight scenes, animation and comedy.
The overall story line of the show is that a wish has been made on the black star dragon balls, which are a set of dragon balls that will destroy Earth in a years time once a wish has been made on them. It's up to Goku, Trunks and Goku's granddaughter Pan to scour the universe in search of the scattered dragon balls in order to return them to Earth and stop the planet from blowing up. While that's just the initial plot of the first…

It's pretty bad.
Battles are boring, transformations are boring, old villains are boring, space adventures are boring, comedy is unfunny, ki blasts are poorly animated (you can't feel the impact), animations constantly gets reused, story progression is linear and uninteresting, ending is fappish (though somewhat fitting) and the villains are pretty bad.
But... It's got interesting ideas, a few decent moments and some acceptable character designs. The Baby Arc was alright, though it could have been far more interesting.
I don't care about the battle powers being out of whack and I don't really care about plotholes, the show just kind of sucked.

Ok so before I start getting down to the nitty gritty of this show I will admit I am quite fond of the dragon ball franchise so i am being a bit biased in my review but anyway here we go
Story: well it's much the same as in the other dragon ball series but this one is particularly slow and drab in my opinion, most people drop out from watching it 10 episodes in but trust me it's well worth it for the Middle/end. All in all its nothing special
Sound: I REALLY liked the soundtrack and the beat behind the fights it really brings out the enjoyment from watching it as a viewer.
Art:it looked and felt kinda darker and I liked it, just a tad better than Z
Character:well I think they're all good yes *sigh even pan :P
Enjoyment: As I said at the start im a bit biased when it comes to this show s…

Dragon Ball GT... most everyone seems to hate it. I've seen GT rated below 5, I've heard people saying they don't consider GT part of the series and is a disgrace and all that hate. Those people (which are probably the majority of you reading this who have seen GT so don't get pissed) don't take it for what it is. GT is not perfect, not even close. But it doesn't suck more than a vacuum...
Story- I hear and read all the time about how "awful" the story is. Ok I admit, if the whole show was like the after Goku turns into a kid but before the fight on Planet M-2 I would have trashed this show. But, it's not at all! The fight on M-2 really took everything up a couple of notches, the idea was so cool and of course the infamous Baby villain was introduced. Everything starts to fall into place…

Dragonball GT; Generation! I can definetly say without boasting that this show totally; surpassed its predicesor; Z. It was a great ending for Goku's story and totally exceeded my expectations.
Not only was everything about this show better then Z, but the risks in this series were even higher, far higher then I'd ever expected. Not only were the risks were bigger, but GT was actually dark. As I said in my Yu Yu Hakusho review; while Z did have it's dark moments, GT's dark moments were even darker. You had better villians then some of ones in Z, we got to see some old villians, and the Shadow Dragons were just badas. Well, not all of them, but they were badass.
There's really nothing for me to say anymore about this show since it takes place a few years after Z, but it was very enjoyab…

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 DBZ), all those critics looked weird and I gave it a shot. It wasn't bad, I loved Pan, and seeing her relationship with Goku growing through the episodes is just amazing.
I don't care for what other people may say,…

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.

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, then go ahead and click unhelpful *
STORY: Sequels, well they usually give justice to the original, or remind you that the original is as good as it gets.

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 adventure is... Goku has been turned into a child by old Dragonball villian Pilaf, the dragonballs are scattered throughout the universe for some reason I can't remember, t…

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 "evi…

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 al…

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.
