S5E2 - DRAGON BALL GT Review Part 2: Super 17 & Shadow Dragon Sagas (Eps. 41-64)

S5E2 - DRAGON BALL GT Review Part 2: Super 17 & Shadow Dragon Sagas (Eps. 41-64)

Our Grand Tour continues with the second half of Dragon Ball GT, which marked the end of the 18-year ‘Toriyama Block’ on Fuji TV, and the end of new Dragon Ball stories on TV until Dragon Ball Super nearly 20 years later. The first few episodes here cover the ‘Super Android 17’ Arc, which is probably the very worst bit of Dragon Ball ever created, but the ‘Shadow Dragons’ Saga has always had more mixed reception, including some vocal defenders. What do Sean and Jonathan make of it? Well, we aren’t so hot on that one either, despite some good ideas and individual strong moments throughout. Still, diagnosing what ails Dragon Ball GT continues to make for a fascinating and fun conversation.

Enjoy, and come back next week as we return to the dawn of anime with one of the great works by Japan’s ‘God of Manga,’ Tezuka Osamu, and the 1969 series Dororo!
