It has higher rating it mean it's good. Also it has very significant gap .
Not particularly, no. And again, you keep calling on people to provide evidence. Are you exempt from this scrutiny yourself?

GT aired on primetime TV so naturally it would have higher ratings and even then it did very poorly for it's timeslot.
What is your proof for this? citation, if you don't have i ignore it and consider it as fake or false.
Funny you ask me this when you can just look it up on the Kanzenshuu database.

GT had the average ratings of only 14.6%... that's drastically worse than even some of the lowest-rated episodes of DB and DBZ (which were the most popular anime/manga when it was fresh).
Super is fresh but is significantly worse than GT surely.

It's in the DB wikipedia so it's common sense to check it. At least i stating proof than state something random. That's quite rude to state something random without proof.

A Wiki is not a valid source (this wiki in particular), as I could go in there right now and change all the ratings to zero. An actual source, please, as long as you're demanding them from others.

At least it's much more valid than stating random. That's rude honestly.
DB wiki also has better proof reading than rabid fans imagination it's trustworthy enough for this kind of datas .

These are things both shows have in common yet the responses from fans are the polar opposite :

Gt has a different art style : "It sucks because it doesn't look like Z".
Super has a different art style : "it's the way animation is today so it's acceptable"

Gt has slow fights : "It sucks because the fights aren't as fast paced as Z's"
Super has slow fights : "It's a weekly series so it's to be expected"

Gt doesn't utilizing the other characters : "it sucks because it's only about Goku"
Super doesn't utilize the other characters : "Oh well I'll enjoy it regardless"

Gt starts out with a lighthearted/gag tone : "It sucks because it's going back to the early days of DB"
Super starts out with a lighthearted/gag tone : It makes sense for it to go back to it's roots"

Gt rehashes plot points : "They ran out of ideas"
Super rehashes entire stories : "not everyone got to see them so it makes sense"

How do you think the responses would be if Toriyama wrote Gt instead of Super ?

The Dragon Ball wiki is a hack site that is notorious for being inaccurate and not providing sources, with administration that actively fights against improvement.

And I'm hardly a "rabid fan."

I'm pretty sure that GT's ratings are higher because people watch less TV now. As for my thoughts on Super, I think it's great. I like the comedic moments so far. The music is kind of a let down though, but it's still far above the Buu Kai score which was shit.
Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.

Super wins out for not having the BS Saga and Pan or her obnoxious sidekick Giru (though Chi-Chi and Mr. Boo rival them in awfulness in Super but they don't appear nearly as often).

Toriyama isn't actually involved with the remakes, though. It's 99% Toei.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Where did you get this from ? and even if it's true they're still based on his stories so that makes him involved by default.

The Dragon Ball wiki is a hack site that is notorious for being inaccurate and not providing sources, with administration that actively fights against improvement.
It's stated as fuji tv rating. At least you can start checking and googling.
You have the number the air date the source of the claim (you can start looking or verified it) unlike random statement that effortly try to avoid at all cost giving citation. That's quite rude, childish and degrading the discussion.

It's not my job to prove your argument for you. If you are making a point, take the effort to back it up. And I was not the one originally making any kind of point at all; DBZAUTEwhatever was. You just seem to have a double standard when it comes to providing evidence for claims.

According to your data (which appears to use kanzenshuu as its source), GT's highest rated episode was 19.6%. During this same time, the highest rated anime in Japan (Chibi Maruko Chan) averaged ratings of 39.9%.

Currently, the highest rated animated show in japan is (Sazae-san) is at the top with 14.2%.

Two takeaways from this:

1) DBGT was no where close in ratings to the highest rated anime show during its highest rated episode.
2) Traditional TV viewership in Japan is down drastically, to a point where comparing the data sets is meaningless. You'd need to look at DVR recording rates, comment video site ratings (FC2, Himawari, etc.) to get any accurate data on anime popularity in Japan.

GT is probably even more "fanfiction level," tbh.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

It's even worse. There is fanfiction out there that when they're actually original for once, can execute its original concept properly.

I don't like your assumption because it will not proof anything. In the end GT has proven its famous and bring fortune for toei too for almost 2 decade unlike super. So GT is much better .super has not proven anything yet . Though i don't care anymore.

Videl never went "super saiyan," and all the things you are saying about Super can apply to GT as well. Trying to find proof that GT was better is impossible because it's all opinion based.
