Has there been official word on exactly why GT ended?

Episode #40 was amazing, I loved everything about it (Piccolo's death is just... *cries*). It works as an ending too. But I'm glad we've had got 24 more episodes, even if the Super #17's Arc (except his design, it's sick, I love it) was mediocre.

I do wonder if they had the Goku Jr. special as a possible ending to GT in mind while making it (given the century time skip and all) until they got that extra 24 episode extension, given it was aired after the end of the Baby arc and just around the start of the Super #17 stuff.

At the very least, I assume the special had to have been written before they decided on the Evil Dragons storyline.

Could be, i'd figure it was in the works well before those 24 further episodes were ordered.

It's honestly kind of baffling that DBS still hasn't made a proper return on TV, what with the manga still being ongoing and Toei still making movies for it. One would think that continuing to make more TV episodes would be a no-brainer, especially now that there are two full story arcs in the manga, and two movies, that they could easily adapt.

We've heard a few different explanations and who knows which one is true tbh. I think one that made the most sense is that One Piece is in its final saga and ending in a few years so they wanted to focus on that. I preferred the movies so I wouldn't really miss the anime if it never came back. I can understand for fans who did like the anime that it's been a long wait though. At least it'll probably have better production the longer they wait and fewer projects at one time.

People were very toxic towards DBGT since the begining simply because of the fact that Toriyama was not the creator ( there was no manga).

At the begining people were nostalgic and even curious but the several plot holes and bad decisions eventually lower the ratings and got the show cancelled.

I personally love GT I like it even more than OG DB and even some DBZ sagas...
