As the second season of Dragon Ball GT gets under way, Goku is still battling Baby, the last survivor of the Tuffle (originally Tsufrulian) race. It's a relief to the galaxy when Goku's Ultimate Kamehameha Blast sends Baby's ship into the sun. Once Baby's been dispatched, the filmmakers seem to lose their way. The Z Fighters evacuate all the residents of Earth to the Tuffle Planet before the Black Dragon Balls cause the Earth to explode, but the Namekian Dragon Balls restore the planet before anyone's had a chance to miss it. The remainder of the season plays like a "greatest hits" album. Dr. Gero, Frieza, Cell, and Android 17 from seasons 3, 4, and 5 of Dragon Ball Z reappear and are defeated again. Goku reverts to his little boy form, which makes him appear younger than his granddaughter Pan. It seems Goku and his friends have used the Dragon Balls too many times: all the good things they've wished for have been balanced by huge amounts of negative energy retained in the Balls, which crack, releasing the seven nasty Shadow Dragons. Goku and Pan fight them, first one by one, then as a fused super-dragon. Also included is A Hero's Legacy, which aired as a television special in 1997. Set 100 years after the conclusion of Dragon Ball GT, it stars Pan's grandson "Goku, Jr." as a wimpy little boy who's just discovering his Saiyan powers. The special may have been an attempt to revive the franchise yet again, but after more than 500 TV episodes and 13 features, Akira Toriyama's saga of the enchanted Dragon Balls finally concludes with Legacy.

 Season Two May 9, 2010
Brooke R. Plummer
GT destroyed the Dragonball legacy! The characters don't seem right and it's too different. I don't recommend it if you are a die hard DBZ fan, don't want to let you down.
GREAT!! May 7, 2010

Great Series, its the end of Dragon Ball Saga, but i'm thrilled how it ended.
And so it concludes. (Pt. 2 of 2) May 5, 2010

Throughout the years we have watched one of the most noble and pure hearted men grow from naïve child to fierce warrior. Now we reach the final season of Dragon Ball GT. After handling evil in many shapes and forms, Goku has to defeat his deadliest of all opponents, himself!
After the defeat of Baby and the jump to Super Saiyan 4, all Goku and the gang want to do is relax. Sorry guys you're not out of the woods just yet! Goku has to first take down a few old foes just to find out that the Dragon Balls which has relied upon to bring peace and good to the world have turned against him. Now the balls have broken and each one has released its own evil Shadow Dragon. Each one is stronger than the next and Goku doesn't even know if Super Saiyan 4 can take them down.
While this show has been dumped on by many loyal fans I have to say the ending of this show was quite impressive. Considering that there was only one more season to work with the writers really tried to cram it all in and tie up all the lose ends. Many events and characters from Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z play a role in these final few episodes so you will be pretty surprised how it is all incorporated together. I love the fact that after all the adventures that the Z gang has had over the years it was Goku himself that almost cost every one certain doom. In the end of all things Goku makes a Frodo like exit from the world realizing that he is too dangerous to be a part of this world and this time he meant it for good. I liked how the show was just given a strait up ending in Goku's exit and in the end the whole story was really put together quite nicely. I feel that GT is a very important series to watch especially since Dragon Ball Z really didn't seem to be the perfect ending, but GT definitely got it right and the in the end I was satisfied.
 Dragon Ball GT starts off slow but then the action gets awesome!!! March 31, 2010

Once we get away from Goku being a child the movie gets a lot better. I would have loved to have seen more Vegeta fights though. :-)
4 Stars in the Dragonball franchise, 5 stars in general March 18, 2010

If you're familiar with the Dragonball franchise, than you know what to expect. Dragonball GT usually gets a bum rap by fans of the franchise, but I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. While not as action-packed as Dragonball Z, and not as funny and slapstick as Dragonball, I felt it found a decent balance between the two, with some good fight scenes and some comedic moments.
This season starts off finishing off the Baby Saga. I found the story of this saga a little weak, but overall it provides alot of action, so it's a strong finish.
Next we have the Super 17 Saga, which is a great view for those who have been following the show, since they throw in alot of nostalgia, bringing back old villians and characters. This is, however, a very short saga, which is a shame because it had potential for alot more story and twists.
The third and final saga here is the Black Star Dragon saga. It seems alot of people find this saga the best out of all of Dragonball GT, but I actually found this a little weak. The story doesn't come together like it should, and there was so much potential for alot more intense action, that they didn't really capitalize on. The cover of this season showcases SS4 Gogeta, but we really only get an episode or two of him.
And lastly, thrown in with this season, is the only Dragonball GT movie they made, "A Heroes Legacy". I've read some reviews about this movie being boring and pointless, but I completely disagree. It's a little heart-warming story, that is very remeniscent of early Dragonball. It makes it feel like the series goes full circle, which I thought was a great way to end it.
Overall, if you're a fan of the previous shows, invest in this one, and you won't be dissapointed. The story has its plotholes, but the animation looks good and the three language tracks gives you alot of option for how you listen to it, depending on which track you're a fan of (I personally prefer English with American music). Although they are remaking Dragonball Z with the new Dragonball Kai, it looks like we're not going to be recieving anything new, so take assurance knowing that this is most likely the last season in the story of dragonball you can own, and that's something worth having.
