After Goku is made a kid again by the Black Star Dragon Balls, he goes on a journey to get back to his old self. It pains me to give this show one star… but I must be honest! Let me start by saying that Dragon Ball Z has had a major impact on my life. I grew up watching it, and years later as an adult keep coming back to it as such a classic, wonderful series. Admittedly, I never really got into Dragon Ball, but GT draws far more from Z (or at least tries to..).<br/><br/>In any case, here are some words that capture my reaction to GT: frustration, disappointment, nausea, betrayal. Plain and simple, GT is an insult to Z. If we fed the two series' into a machine which could objectively compare quality, I have no doubt Z would be atop a peak, and GT in a valley (or should I say gutter..).<br/><br/>For years after falling in love with DBZ, I longed to watch GT. I saw glimpses of it, Super Saiyajin 4 Goku / Vegeta / Gogeta? How could a DBZ fan not be intrigued? And so it began.<br/><br/>First few episodes: *optimism* Okay, this is pretty interesting, let's see where things go…<br/><br/>The next 40 episodes: *nervousness* This is just early filler right? They must have been working on the main course during this fluff! I must not abandon my beloved DB friends…<br/><br/>Final 20 or so episodes: *agony* WHEN WILL IT END!? NO, there has to be redemption somewhere here… I've come so far… PLEASE…<br/><br/>Ultimately, I just felt drained and utterly betrayed… my faith that I ever even enjoyed DBZ to begin with was shaken. And now I am cursed to remember the nightmare that is GT alongside a truly great creation.<br/><br/>If you're a hardcore fan, thinking "How bad could it be?" I'm begging you, RESIST! Don't fall into the same trap I and so many others have… cherish DBZ (or even DB), and if you feel like you won't be able to hold out forever, at least wait for Dragon Ball Online and maybe that will give you the fix you're looking for.. If you like both Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Gt, then you rill really like Dragon Ball GT as it combines the both of both series. This series was animated by Toei and did have some input from Akira Toriyama san, but fans still love it. <br/><br/>I give Dragon Ball GT a 10/10
