Welcome to Anime & Manga Stack Exchange

Anime and Manga is a question and answer site for enthusiastic anime and manga fans. It's built and run by you as part of the Stack Exchange network of Q&A sites. With your help, we're working together to build a library of detailed answers to every question about anime and manga.

We're a little bit different from other sites. Here's how:

Ask questions, get answers, no distractions

This site is all about getting answers. It's not a discussion forum. There's no chit-chat.

Just questions...

...and answers.

Good answers are voted up and rise to the top.

The best answers show up first so that they are always easy to find.

The person who asked can mark one answer as "accepted".

Accepting doesn't mean it's the best answer, it just means that it worked for the person who asked.

How involved was Akira Toriyama in the production of Dragon Ball GT?

I always had this doubt about whether Dragon Ball GT was an official, canonical sequel of Dragon Ball Z or not. I know that Akira Toriyama helped in the development, but did he write any of it?

Dragon Ball GT was produced by Toei Animation, one of the anime companies used to produce Dragon Ball Z.

Akira Toriyama did not write any of the episodes though, that's true. They're all fillers.

Dragon Ball GT was produced by the same companies as Dragon Ball Z, so technically it can be considered a sequel.

However, there is one 'but': this is more of an OVA than an adaption of the manga; in fact, Dragon Ball GT was never a manga. So in anime terms: yes, Dragon Ball GT is the official sequel, but not in manga terms.

Get answers to practical, detailed questions

Focus on questions about an actual problem you have faced. Include details about what you have tried and exactly what you are trying to do.

Ask about...

Plot, character, or setting explanations
The historical or societal context of an anime or manga
Franchise/series reading or viewing order
Anime and manga production
Tropes, terminology and other general anime- and manga-related information.

If you find that the tag for the particular series you want to ask about does not exist, simply ask your question with the "retag" tag and another user with the appropriate privilege will retag your question accordingly.

Not all questions work well in our format. Avoid questions that are primarily opinion-based, or that are likely to generate discussion rather than answers.

Questions that need improvement may be closed until someone fixes them.

Don't ask about...

Identification questions: I can't remember the name of this anime/manga
– You're welcome to use our main chat room to ask identification questions.
Anything not directly related to anime and manga: What's up with that weird emblem on Japanese mailboxes?
Questions calling for out-of-universe lists: What are all the anime that feature X? What are all the manga by Y? See also: Good List vs. Bad List.
Reading or watching recommendations. I'm looking for an anime/manga like Z.
– You're welcome to use our main chat room to ask about/for recommendations.
Questions requesting illegal or copyrighted information: Where can I watch anime X online? Where can I download chapters of manga Y?
Questions on making your own anime or manga, which require specific expertise outside the scope of this community.
Questions about unannounced/speculative future events regarding anime or manga production: Will manga X get an anime adaptation? Are they going to make another season of anime Y?

Tags make it easy to find interesting questions

All questions are tagged with their subject areas. Each can have up to 5 tags, since a question might be related to several subjects.

Click any tag to see a list of questions with that tag, or go to the tag list to browse for topics that interest you.

The US version from FUNimation is actually different for some reason. They removed the first 16 episodes and replaced them with their own exclusive ones. - Rapptz Dec 13, 2012 at 20:20
