I know some people prefer or simply like GT but if we want to compare which "did it better" let's see facts lol
Supreme authority of the interwebz wikipedia says:
In contrast to Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT received mixed to negative reviews. IGN called it "downright repellent," mentioning that the material and characters had lost their novelty and fun. They also criticized the GT character designs of Vegeta and a few other characters as being "goofy".[27] Anime News Network (ANN) also gave negative comments about the anime, mentioning that the fights from the series were "a very simple childish exercise" and that many other anime were superior. The series' plot was also criticized for giving a formula that was already used in its predecessors.[28] Although, it did call it "a fun ride when not taken very seriously."[29] THEM Anime Reviews criticized the humor and characters stating, "the humor is forced, juvenile, and stupid, the characters are trite, and the villains are ugly, power-hungry monsters with no personality whatsoever". They, however, gave some praise to the animation and music stating, "At least Toei went to the trouble of bringing up the animation, and especially the music, up a notch. Some of the backgrounds can actually be quite detailed, and the animation is definitely leagues above Dragon Ball Z."[30]
Dragon Ball Super received positive reviews from fans and critics. First impressions of the series' debut episode were mostly positive with the quality of animation being praised the most.[59] Richard Eisenbeis of Kotaku praised the series' title sequence and said "My middle-school self is so happy right now, you guys."[60] Jamieson Cox of The Verge also praised the title sequence and said that "Dragon Ball Super's intro will have you begging for its North American release". Cox was also surprised that, considering how popular the franchise is, the series did not launch internationally at the same time. He called it "a move that wouldn't be unprecedented" giving Sailor Moon Crystal as an example.[61] Lucas Siegel of Comicbook.com praised the debut episode for its "laid back plotline" and animation style and said that the debut was "very much put out as a "slice of life" episode". Siegel also noted that the premiere episode was more of a "where are they now" introduction to the series that will eventually help build anticipation for "where will they be."[62]
However, the fifth episode received harsh criticism from Japanese and Western audiences due to its poor animation style compared to the previous four episodes.[63][64] Dragon Ball Kai and Resurrection 'F' producer Norihiro Hayashida felt that the criticism was overblown. He said that people were criticizing the entire series based on a few bad sequences that were done by new animators. He went on to explain a quality decline in the anime industry that he believes is the result of studios cutting time given for post-production and not allowing for reviews of the final product.[65] Toei Animation improved the animation for episode five's Blu-ray and DVD release.[66]
The twenty-fourth episode of the series also received harsh criticism from both Japanese and western audiences due to its poor animation style, which continued throughout several episodes compared to its previous episodes. However, the Champa Arc was praised for improving its animation. Episode 39 of the series was critically acclaimed for its improved animation and praised fighting sequences. Attack of the Fanboy reported that "Dragon Ball Super" episode 39 may be the best installment of the series to date.[67] Goku and Hit's fight "starts off explosively from the get-go."[68] The Future Trunks Arc also received generally positive reviews from fans and critics alike, with IGN's Shawn Saris acclaiming Episode 66, stating that, "Episode 66 of Dragon Ball Super has a few missteps but ultimately leads to a great final battle with Zamasu."[69]
The fifth arc of the anime, the "Universe Survival Arc," has garnered the most positive reception, of all the arcs. Particular praise have been given towards many of the action sequences, and improvement in animation quality and design. Several episodes such as 109/110 and 116 have been cited as some of the series's best episodes;[70][71] WatchMojo.com even listed the fight between Goku and Jiren in episodes 109/110 as the best anime fight of 2017.[72] However, ComicVerse was harsher stating the animation was inconsistent, plot elements from previous series were retconned, some new characters lacked originality, and the lack of consistency between power level citing for example how Android 17 could easily spar against Goku who has obtained god-like powers in previous story arcs.[73]
All four volumes of Dragon Ball Super's manga adaptation have charted on Oricon's weekly list of the best-selling manga; volumes one and two sold 29,995 and 56,947 copies in their debut weeks respectively.[74][75] Volume three was the fourth best-selling for its week with 92,114 copies sold,[76] and volume four was fourth its week with 150,889.[77] According to Nielsen BookScan, the English version of volume one was the second best-selling graphic novel of May 2017,[78] the ninth of June,[79] the fourteenth of July,[80] and the eighteenth of August.[81]
The show's penultimate episode and the finale were live streamed in several cities in Mexico, El Salvador, Ecuador, and Nicaragua for free in public venues.[82][83]
Cheers lol
At least more development than anything we see in Super.
