I enjoyed both GT and Super. Both had their ups and downs, but GT had a bit more problems than Super. The Black Star Dragon Ball arc was very long and drawn out, and it felt like it was just them doing random stuff up until Dr. Myuu showed up. The Baby arc, however, is very, very good, the story was good, Baby was a great villain, and SSJ4 is incredible. The Shadow Dragon arc had an excellent concept, but was executed rather poorly. The story telling in GT was a bit on the lacking side as well, though not enough to decrease my enjoyment of it.

I think the biggest problem of GT (for me at least) was that all of GT is just "the Goku show", which is a big problem. He's the only one who does anything. Trunks is only releveant for the first arc, and even then he hardly does anything, and Pan is literally just there. Yeah Vegeta comes in and becomes SSJ4, but thats at the end of the last arc. I think if GT focused more on other characters instead of just Goku like Super does (not saying Super wasnt a Goku & Vegeta fest, but it focused on much more than GT did), it would have been much better. And lets not talk about the Super 17 arc.

Super had problems too. BoG and Res F didnt need to have their own arcs, and they were both awful. The story telling wasnt too bad, but it wasnt too good either (although it was certainly better than GT's), and the pacing felt very rushed in some areas, however this was mostly in BoG and Res F, which we've arleady established those arcs suck. However, the U6 arc, Trunks arc, and Tounament of Power, were all good. The U6 arc is where DBS got good, and it set the pace for the rest of Super. ToP was easily the wakest of the three, but its animation and pure action was easily the best. The Trunks arc was excellent; good story, great action, great villain; easily the best of Super (even if the ending was god awful) and Black is a fantastic villain, one of if not the best in all of DB imo. The animation of Super is very good, and had so many great moment in animation, especially in the ToP and Black arc (although Res F and BoG are clearly lacking, along with the filler arcs). And with the Broly movie - undoubtedly being the best animated media in all of DB history - right around the corner, Super will likely get much much better.

All in all, despite their faults, I looked passed their problems and enjoyed both series for what they were. But in my opinion I found Super to be better than GT.
