Shows that feel likeDragon Ball GT (1996–1997)

Ten years have passed since Goku left his friends and family to hone his skills. But Goku soon finds himself helpless against the mystical power of the Dragon Balls and an accidental wish made by the devious Emperor Pilaf. The wish; that Goku once again become a child! Goku, together with Trunks, and his own granddaughter Pan, blast off into the outer reaches of space in search of the mysterious Black Star Dragon Balls. But these Dragon Balls have a fatal secret: if not collected within one year Earth will be destroyed.

If you loved Dragon Ball GT, the closest series we have are Stargate SG-1 (1997), Star Trek: Voyager (1995) and Stargate Atlantis (2004). All three share Dragon Ball GT's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Stargate Universe (2009).

The same two preoccupations: space travel, and space

The story of Stargate SG-1 begins about a year after the events of the feature film, when the United States government learns that an ancient alien device called the Stargate can access a network of such devices on a multitude of planets. SG-1 is an elite Air Force special operations team, one of more than two dozen teams from Earth who explore the galaxy and defend against alien threats such as the Goa'uld, Replicators, and the Ori.

Once there, the team not only find themselves unable to contact Earth, but their explorations unexpectedly reawaken the Ancients' deadly enemies, The Wraith, who hunger for this new prey.

Cerebral and dreamlike in the same breath

The difference: Trades the momentum of Dragon Ball GT for an angle of its own

The six-person crew of a derelict spaceship awakens from stasis in the farthest reaches of space. Their memories wiped clean, they have no recollection of who they are or how they got on board. The only clue to their identities is a cargo bay full of weaponry and a destination: a remote mining colony that is about to become a war zone. With no idea whose side they are on, they face a deadly decision. Will these amnesiacs turn their backs on history, or will their pasts catch up with them?

The same mix in both: momentum, then scale

The difference: Made in the 2020s, in a different era of the craft
