Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the show, Pan does take up a lot of the screen time, but her character is a direct descendant of Bulma from the original series (despite family tree relations), with the role of 'growing up' given to Goku in DragonBall and Gohan in DragonBall Z. The series also introduces the character of Pan - who showed a lot of potential at the end of DragonBall Z. The series utilises it's license to the fullest - resurrecting Emporer Pilaf from the original series (noticeably absent from DragonBall Z), and recreating the importance of the DragonBalls (who were generally merely aesthetic in DragonBall Z). Reducing Goku to a child was a sensible move, as it allowed fans of the original who drifted during Z's adult-Goku to become interested in the series with the character they knew and loved again. Everyone is a winner here, even if their favourite style is not featured as much as in their favourite of the two original series. What this series does - and very successfully, it's worth noting - is consistently merge the comedic DragonBall with the action-laden DragonBall Z. In later episodes, an all new fourth party is also added - Gil, a robot who swallowed the Dragon Radar from the original series - unfortunately, he generally slows things down, but at least there has been innovation, which is commendable. The second is probably more noticeable - reducing the regular cast list to only 3 only two of which were favourites from DragonBall Z. The first step it takes is noticeable - reducing Goku back to the state of a child. But looking past the complaints, and regarding it as a series in it's own right, DragonBall GT is very fine. DragonBall GT is also disregarded by many fans, as the series original creator did not work on this series other than having the job of character consultant. Both shows worked fine in their individual styles, but did feel slightly contrasting next to each other.
The first DragonBall was a very comedic show that centered around Goku growing up as a child, while DragonBall Z introduced many new characters, evolved the existing ones and took itself a lot more seriously. Many people complain about the lack of characters who get things to do, the lack of favourite characters from the first two series, and the mix of styles from the first two series. There are many complaints against DragonBall GT.
