Main article: List of Dragon Ball GT episodes

Produced by Toei Animation, Dragon Ball GT premiered on Fuji TV on February 2, 1996, spanning 64 episodes until its conclusion on November 19, 1997.^[2] Unlike the other anime series in the Dragon Ball franchise, Dragon Ball GT is not based on the manga series written by Akira Toriyama. The series is divided into four "sagas" or story arcs.

Funimation Entertainment licensed the series for an English language Region 1 DVD release and broadcast in North America. Funimation's English dub of the series premiered on Cartoon Network on November 7, 2003. The television broadcast skipped the first 16 episodes of the series. Instead, Funimation created a composition episode entitled "A Grand Problem", which used scenes from the skipped episodes to summarize the story. The skipped episodes were later aired after the remaining episodes of the series had been broadcast.^[2] The dubbed episodes also aired in Canada on YTV, which divided the episodes into two seasons instead of sagas.^[3][4]
