It tries, but I don't think it succeeds generally. To be fair, it's been ages since I've watched any of GT so my perspective might be skewed on it. Dragonball is the only bit of the shows that I consider actually good though. DBZ is pretty enjoyable for nostalgia's sake for me. GT I just remember finding pretty dull of the episodes I had seen. I'll still probably sit down and watch all of GT someday just to say I did since I've only probably seen like 20 episodes or less.
