Product Description
Goku must travel through the universe with his friends Pan and Trunks to find the dragon balls and gather them together before Earth is destroyed.
Amazon.com
Dragon Ball GT (1996), the third animated series based on Akira Toriyama's manga, takes place ten years after the final episode of Dragon Ball Z. Things have changed: Trunks is the president of the Capsule Corporation; Gohan has married Videl. Goku's old enemy Pilaf invades the Celestial Realm to seize the ultra-powerful Black Dragon Balls, but he messes up his wish and asks that Goku be reduced to a child. King Kai warns that the Black Dragon Balls, which have scattered among the stars, must be returned to Earth within a year or the planet will explode. Goku and Trunks set off to find them, accompanied by Pan, Gohan's obnoxious daughter. After fighting a number of underlings, the trio finally meets the main villain of the series: Baby, the last survivor of the Tuffle (originally Tsufrulian) race. A nasty creature with a head like a crescent moon, Baby can infiltrate the bodies of others and absorb their energy. He wants to acquire the power of the Saiyans and subjugate the galaxy. Quite a number of battles ensue, and Goku has to have his tail restored to give him the power to tackle Baby. The filmmakers undercut their efforts to create excitement by being silly. Buu and Uub reunite to form Majuub, but he fights by turning his foes into chocolate. The story also lacks originality: when Trunks is caught in a metal trap by General Rilldo, it's too obviously copied from Han Solo's emprisonment in the block of carbonite. Both Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z were boys' clubs: Goku and the Z-fighters trained together, fought common enemies and sought to become the strongest. Creating a major role for a girl in the series was a worthwhile idea, but the filmmakers make too Pan whiny and fussy to fit into the rough and tumble world. The weakest entry in the Dragon Ball saga, GT only ran for 64 episodes. (Rated TV PG, suitable for ages 8 and up: violence, violence against women, alcohol use, nudity) --Charles Solomon (1.

I must admit,I had my doubts going in to this show. I am a huge fan of Dragonball Z, having grown up with it, and had recently just finished watching the original Dragonball show. From reviews I read online of Dragonball GT though, I wasn't sure if this was going to be for me. People said it had plotholes, wasn't true to the original story, was slow and boring, etc.
But let me tell you, it isn't.
I actually quite enjoyed this season of Dragonball GT. It felt nostalgic, not only by placing Goku back into a child form, but also by finding the right balance between comedy and action, like Dragonball did. It was nice to see Trunks grown up as an adult who wasn't from the future, and it was also nice to see how Pan ended up, trying to follow in her Grandfathers footsteps. Giru was a little annoying at times though.
Overall, you get a nice introduction and foundation to what is a good show. While this box set is advertised as including the baby saga, it actually doesn't have the complete saga, with the last few episodes being in Season 2. You do however get to see SS4 Goku, who is pictured on the front cover, and I think he suits it nicely. I actually enjoyed this season more than the second one, so if you were like me and wondering whether or not to invest in this, take a chance on it, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Take the Grand Tour? May 6, 2010

Many people to my surprise hate GT(I personally love DBZ and Dragonball was awesome too. I personally love the series I felt like Pan, Goku, and Trunks searching for the dragonballs at the beginning of this series was a very nice nostalgic element to the series, getting ot see Goten, Trunks, Vegeta, Bulma, Gohan and the rest of the gang in their much older forms is pretty cool, especially if you've been following the series since you were a child, most fans grew up on the series, but newcomers can still enjoy this series (If you like GT, you'll love Dragonball and DBZ). This box set covers the Black Star and Baby sagas(though a few episodes of the Baby saga end up being on season 2). The Season one box set includes a booklet that gives you a brief summary on characters and episode descriptions, which is a very good tool for those who are new to the series or who want to come back later to watch their favorite episodes. The marathon feature is great for quicker viewing, they've got textless songs, andanese audio for those who want to see the series in its original form. The DVD includes 34 episodes on 5 discs, and although the first 15-16 episodes are entertaining, there's not as much fighting as hardcore DBZ fans are used to, but it quickly picks up as the Baby saga gets underway and continues onward from there. If you're a fan of the series, I recommend adding GT to your collection, and at the reasonable price 0f around $18, it's worrh it.
