By mid-2005, all three originally syndicated TV series had been released, although out of chronological order, which marked the first time that any of these properties were available on a home video format in Japan.

	Following the success and popularity of the ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' TV series, Toei Animation decided to extend the franchise beyond just the scope of the original manga. The new series was titled ''Dragon Ball GT'', with "GT" being short for "Grand Touring". This new anime original series picked up right where the previous series had left off, and was initially slated to expand Akira Toriyama's "Dragon World" into the far reaches of the ''Dragon Ball'' universe, with Goku as a child once again. Taking over the ''Dragon Ball Z'' time slot at 7:00PM every Wednesday on Fuji TV, the first episode of ''Dragon Ball GT'' aired on '''07 February 1996'''.

			{{quotation\|The TV anime people wanted to continue for just a little bit more, but I [just couldn't do] any more than that... And so, I left the ''Dragon Ball'' anime completely up to the anime staff, story and all. That was ''Dragon Ball GT''.<br />

	Beyond creating the title and logo of the series, providing designs for the main characters, and drawing a few promotional illustrations, original manga author Akira Toriyama had very little involvement with the series. The main staff of the series also experienced some significant changes, with the majority leaving to pursue other endeavors. Veteran animator [[Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru]] entirely took over the role of character designer and [[Akihito Tokunaga]] was brought on as the series' new musical composer. Numerous new producers were also brought on board from both Toei Animation and Fuji TV to help determine the series' plot and development.
