American fans are typically fairly intellectual people, often young people in college or grown adults.
Though some anime fans don't realize it, the average Japanese viewer is not like an American fan. I heard this show was actually cancelled before it even finished its run, which is practically unheard of with anime (the only other instance I've heard of is the original Gundam's mid-series cancellation, and those 70's people didn't know a good thing when they saw it). This was created by the TV people, more specifically Toei Animation, because Toriyama wanted to give Dragonball a rest and move on with his career, but Toei wanted more green (or whatever color Japanese money is). This is because Akira Toriyama, past scribbling a few robot designs, had absolutely nothing to do with this show. Luckily for all you big-time Akira Toriyama fans, you have nothing to worry about, because this pathetic end to the Dragonball saga won't be tarnishing your favorite show's name. The only reason I even watched GT is because maybe I held some little flickering light of hope within me that this show would be more like the original Dragonball's comedic adventures.
