Is Dragon Ball GT Still Worth Watching?
With a new Dragon Ball Super movie currently doing big business at the box office, it’s hard to believe there was an extended period of time when there was no new Dragon Ball anime in production. The original series Dragon Ball premiered on February 26, 1986, and became an overnight hit, laying the groundwork for many shounen anime tropes that are still being used to this day. On April 26, 1989, that series got a sequel called Dragon Ball Z, which became an even bigger hit and has gone on to be considered one of the greatest action cartoons of all time!
That series came to an end on January 31, 1996, just several months before the series would premiere on American TV stations on September 13, 1996. Dragon Ball Super is the official sequel to Dragon Ball Z and takes place before (and later after) the events of the final episode of Dragon Ball Z (there is even some case to be made that Dragon Ball Super is retconning the events at the end of the previous series). But did you know that this isn’t the first time a sequel to Dragon Ball Z was made? That there was another anime that continued the adventures of Goku in 1996, and that series is still widely available for fans to see? The question you may have is what is this series and is it worth watching?
