Dragon Ball GT 1996 DVD Cover

Dragon Ball GT (ドラゴンボールGT(ジーティー)) is the third television anime series based on Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga. Produced by Toei Animation, the series premiered in Japan on Fuji TV on February 2, 1996, immediately following the ending of Dragon Ball Z, spanning 64 episodes until its conclusion on November 19, 1997. Unlike the previous two shows, GT's plot is not directly based on anything from Toriyama's manga, although he did provide occasional input with various concepts and character designs.

Five years have passed since the end of Dragon Ball Z and Son Goku departed his friends and family to train Uub. Once Uub's instruction is resolved, Goku runs afoul of Emperor Pilaf and his cronies’ machinations with them breaking into Kami's Lookout in order to steal the Black Star Dragon Balls. These Dragon Balls were created long before Kami and Piccolo diffused and contain a dark secret; once a wish is made, the balls scatter all across the universe and if not returned to the planet where the wish was made within a year, said planet will explode. Goku catches Pilaf in the act and, in a panic, causes the villain to blurt out that if the former were a kid again, he’d be easy to defeat. Black Star Shenron interprets this outburst as a wish and subsequently turns Goku into a child. Once King Kai makes the new danger to Earth known to the Z-Fighters, Goku, alongside his granddaughter Pan and Trunks, now the president of Capsule Corporation, venture out into space to find the Black Star Dragon Balls and return them to the planet before a year is up. Out in space is where new allies and enemies await them including Giru, a robot from mechanical Planet M-2 who integrates the Dragon Radar into his system and is thus forced by Pan to accompany them on their journeys. Little do any of the Z-Fighters suspect that machinations rooted in the Saiyan Race's past are conspiring to bring even further danger to Earth, and doubly so concerning its own Dragon Balls. GT initially seeks a return to comedic elements that Dragon Ball was known for early in its run, but after its premiere, the ratings began to decline and and it was quickly retooled near the midpoint of its first story arc to be more action-oriented and serious akin to Dragon Ball Z.

The first English dub for GT was commissioned in 2002 after the Ocean Group had been contracted by AB Groupe to produce an alternative dub for European territories including the United Kingdom and Netherlands. With the success of Westwood Media's Vancouver, British Columbia-based dub of Z, Ocean was going to follow suit with this series and the original Dragon Ball. Their plans were revised early on as a cost-saving measure to move the voice production to Ocean's sister facility Blue Waters Studios in Calgary, Alberta. As this dub was made before Funimation had even finished airing their own English dub of Dragon Ball Z, the scripting for this "Blue Water dub" was far more faithful to the original Japanese language than seen up to that point. The footage used was sourced from the French dub and as such contains their censorship in addition to character name changes already mentioned in existing dubs, while newly introduced characters more often than not kept their original Japanese names intact or at very least had a more accurate equivalent. In addition, the Blue Water dub found its way on Canadian kid's network YTV in 2003 and finished broadcast in early 2005, airing alongside Blue Water's dub of the original Dragon Ball as well. There are no home releases for any of Westwood's dubs due to AB Groupe canceling the plans when their alternative dubs of the movies received negative reception due to poor voice direction.

For the American English dub by Crunchyroll (then Funimation Productions), the choice was made to skip the initial 15 episodes of GT and begin with their own first installment "A Grand Problem" which tells a condensed recap of such to catch up the audience on the new developments. Those episodes' low ratings in Japan got Funimation concerned that GT would tank in America if they didn't start out where the more action-heavy drama began, so they were left untranslated until after the remainder of the series had finished its run. The dub was handled by the familiar Texas-based voice cast and aired on Cartoon Network's Toonami block from November 7, 2003 to January 29, 2005 with the aforementioned "Lost Episodes" being broadcast from February 5, 2005 to April 16, 2005. However, the uncut equivalent of episode 16, "Giru’s Checkered Past" was never aired on Toonami and wouldn't be transmitted on American airwaves until February 22, 2012 courtesy of Nicktoons (which was also airing Dragon Ball Z Kai at the time). DVD releases were handled in-house by Funimation for both the initial run and the "Lost Episodes". Like with its predecessors, GT would receive its own remastering across two "green brick" DVD sets (released in December 9, 2008 and February 10, 2009 respectively) that contained a new English audio track with the original Japanese musical score in addition to the original track with Mark Menza's replacement music. Unlike Dragon Ball Z, none of the audio for GT was reworked or redubbed.
