I was fortunate enough to catch the debut of Dragon Ball Daima and thought I should write a short, spoiler free review for those who still haven't watched it.

From a visual standpoint this is the best a TV show centered around Dragon Ball has ever looked (excluding movies like DBS Broly of course). Chief animation supervisor of this episode, Chikashi Kubota, who formerly worked on Space Dandy, OPM and Mob Psycho really respects the franchise and that is shown from the get go. I believe he animates most of the early battle animation between some of the main characters and I loved the minimalistic shading, idiosyncratic animation style and beautiful impact frames. Ken Otsuka and Miyako Tsuji also come in for some impactful moments here and there. Those were the three main animators I was able to pick out from style alone, but I am sure I missed a lot too. There ARE SOME 3D CGI parts here and there, but they are very minimal and not distracting at all. It is still mostly a 2D production unlike Super Hero the movie.

Naoyuki wada , the director of cinematography went all out to keep the aesthetic consistent with the setting, you have no trouble telling the realms apart through their visual signature. The script is simple and sets up future episodes without too much difficulty, there are a lot of good slice of life moments and the voice acting (I have only heard the japanese one so far) was really good. Specially most of the new characters sport fantastic voice acting and couple that with the amazing , expressive character animation, its a solid combo.

I think this is a truly fitting way to pay tribute to Akira Toriyama, truly the best production a Dragon Ball TV series has ever had.

Dragon Ball Daima started like it feels like a missed opportunity in an otherwise legendary franchise. While Dragon Ball as a whole is known for its engaging plots and intense action, this spin-off fails to deliver the same level of excitement in the first half.

The pacing is incredibly slow, with episodes that seem to drag on without significant developments. Waiting an entire week for an episode only to find nothing of importance happening is frustrating.

Then it becomes Dragon Ball again at the end.

Though they should explain how this includes in the existing story.

Instead of investing in a side project like Daima, the creators should focus on continuing the main storyline (Dragon Ball Super), which still has so much potential to explore.

Overall, Daima lacks the depth and momentum that we expect from the series, leaving us disappointed and longing for more meaningful content in the first half, then becomes better.

Can't wait for the real official Dragon Ball story to continue on anime (Moro) and manga (Black Freezer).

With the release of sparking zero and daima, these felt like 2002 all over again with Budokai and DBZ airing on cartoon network. While I won't say much, all I could say is that this is a love letter by the creator before he passed away and anybody who adores dragon ball should give it a watch. From the artstyle to the story, finally being able to see the manga artstyle be replicated in anime with goku's manga outfit FINALLY being drawn is a dream come true for someone who loves to see deep-cuts related to the manga being drawn. The sound quality and music all reflect this as well and I'm really glad with the relevations we've seen so far.

This month is a real holiday for any Dragon Ball fan. The incredibly successful release of Sprking Zero and the release of a new chapter in the history of Dragon Ball in the form of Dragon Ball Daima. After the first episode, we can say that the art style is incredibly beautiful and detailed, which greatly contrasts with the release of Super, new colorful and interesting characters that are interesting to watch and very curious to know what development they will receive. We are presented with a whole new world of this universe, many small details that complement the lore of the universe are mentioned in passing. Thanks to Akira Toriyama for all his work, which inspired and inspires many people.

Dragon Ball Daima has arrived, and it's nothing short of a spectacular addition to the beloved franchise! From the moment I hit play, I was completely immersed in the vibrant world that Akira Toriyama has crafted. Here are a few reasons why I believe it deserves a perfect 10/10.

1. Fresh Storyline: Daima introduces a compelling narrative that takes bold risks while staying true to the essence of Dragon Ball. The premise of characters transforming into children adds a unique twist, sparking both humor and adventure. It's refreshing to see familiar faces navigate challenges in their new forms, all while delivering a heartfelt message about growth and resilience.

2. Stunning Animation: The animation quality is top-notch! The vibrant colors, fluid action sequences, and attention to detail breathe new life into the series. Every battle scene is a visual treat, showcasing the power of modern animation techniques. It feels like an epic cinematic experience, and the character designs maintain that classic Dragon Ball charm.

3. Character Development: Daima gives ample room for character exploration. Watching Goku, Vegeta, and the rest of the Z Fighters adapt to their new circumstances is both entertaining and touching. The series delves deeper into their personalities, reminding us why we fell in love with them in the first place.

4. Nostalgia Meets Innovation: The show expertly balances nostalgia with new elements, appealing to both long-time fans and newcomers. References to classic moments and characters are woven seamlessly throughout the storyline, ensuring that fans of all generations will find something to enjoy.

5. Humor and Heart: True to Dragon Ball form, Daima is packed with humor. The comedic moments are perfectly timed, providing much-needed levity amidst the action. Yet, it doesn't shy away from emotional depth, exploring themes of friendship, sacrifice, and determination.

Conclusion: Dragon Ball Daima is a triumphant return to the franchise that captivates from start to finish. It's a masterful blend of action, humor, and heartfelt storytelling that both honors the legacy of Dragon Ball and charts new territory. For anyone seeking an exciting and entertaining adventure, look no further-this series is a 10/10 gem that should not be missed!

After Goku and his friends defend the Earth from destruction from Majin Buu, they enjoy a much-deserved celebration. While celebrating Trunk's birthday, something odd happens, and they all are transformed into children. Goku and King Kai must travel to the Demon Realm to find the new king and the Earth Dragon Balls to turn themselves back.

This movie combines a recap and the first two episodes. The recap is helpful for anyone who may not have been up to date with the series or needs a refresher on where this one begins. The first two episodes start this part of the series slowly and could be more exciting. There is no real reason to spend money on seeing this in theaters; it is better to wait for the season to air and binge-watch it to get the full DBZ effect.

This new Dragon Ball series takes place after the defeat of Kid Buu and before Dragon Ball Super when the new King of the demons decides to wish the Z Fighters back into kids again so they won't ever pose a threat to his reign in the Demon Realm.

Story The story is good but basic but good it's like an extra season of DBZ picking up at the end of that show and giving us one more adventure thats so far closer in tone to the original Dragon Ball.

Voice acting The voice acting is really good nobody does bad here and the older actors voices are still on point.

Animation This is easily the best looking show in the franchise and makes me excited for when Super returns that it will feature this level of animation.

Overall So far this is a good but not great show those who want big epic fights will be dissatisfied this isn't another DBZ or even a DBS type series. This series feels like a better remake of the GT concept concept that featured Goku becoming a kid again but in this everyone is turned into a kid again making it more fun. This show so far is closer in tone to the original Dragon Ball but with a little bit of that DBS flavor talking about alternate universes and such. I'm not a huge fan of the turning everyone back into kids concept didn't like it in GT either when it was just Goku but it is done well here and the new characters we get are interesting and well written like having Supreme Kai have a brother who serves the Demon King. Overall this is a good but not great show that will be a fun addition to the franchise and please fans until Super returns.

One of the best anime game experiences, the what-if twists add a new feel to the story and doesn't make it repetitive, huge roster and exhilarating fights. Couldn't have asked for a better title. In short a love letter to the fans of Dragon Ball Sparking Zero really immerses me into the Dragon Ball universe. I can completely relate to the characters. Each one has its own little quirks and while they may play similarly, they all feel distinct in their own way. The various 'What-If' scenarios are super cool and it's really fun to imagine them playing out in your own mind. I am incredibly happy with this purchase and wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone-both long-time Budokai Tenkaichi fans and newcomers alike. Join us all in diving into the world of Toriyama!

To summarize : Dragon Ball Daima has a terrible plot, but great animations.

The plot of Daima has inconsistencies with Dragon Ball Super and also with Dragon Ball GT, some episodes are boring, the story is often slow and goes nowhere. There is a lot of fighting but often the enemies are either uninteresting or poorly written. The plot then develops in a very predictable way and without any surprises, so much so that it is boring. The characters wrapped up have bad dialogue. Many episodes are really for kindergarten children.

The animations are the only decent thing about Dragon Ball Daima; the fights are well animated and choreographed. Many special effects.

Dragon Ball Daima had the potential to be an exciting addition to the Dragon Ball franchise, but unfortunately it turns out to be a disappointment in many ways.

It has many problems, one of the main ones being its excessive similarity to many ideas from Dragon Ball GT. Many of the ideas and concepts seem to have been taken directly from GT, without offering anything new or original. This gives the feeling of a derivative work, lacking its own identity.

Another obvious flaw is the presence of some episodes that do not contribute to the development of the main plot. These episodes often feel banal and repetitive, with a weak and predictable plot. As a result, the narrative proceeds slowly and the viewer finds himself having to endure long sequences of insignificant events.

Another flaw is that some new characters have a really poor characterization, really reduced to the essential minimum; there are anime much less known than Dragon Ball Daima but that have characters much better characterized than the new characters of Dragon Ball Daima.

The quality of the animations is high. Some moments are well done.

Ok, Dragon ball overall is amazing. We have come to love these long screaming, superpowered, hair changing powerhouse aliens. It has become a bit of a trope though. Screaming for episodes has become a meme in itself and we lost the fun adventure that the original dragon ball series brought us.

Dragon ball daima gives us this back!

Yes the characters have been nerfed. Flying is limited too, but this way we get our favourite anime characters going on an actual quest through strange new lands and meeting amazing new people.

We get to see the loveable kid goku again back to his roots, lost and curious about all these new things he gets to see.

The animation and the voice acting is top tier too.

I would highly recommend this for anyone that loved the original series. If someone has only seen Z or Super it may seem lacking in all the flashiness but we are getting an amazing story and it looks like it might be going into deep lore with the namekians and demons.

We lost the legend that is Toriyama, but you can see his soul has been put into this work of art and it's an amazing legacy to leave behind.

An anime that started off very well, but lost weight or credibility as the episodes went on. I emphasize everything related to the continuity of the story and those loose ends left at the end. At that point, the anime has both very positive things and other very poorly executed negative ones, especially in small pieces of information added to the Dragon Ball lore.

Even so, Daima, with just 20 episodes, gives fans of the franchise a good taste depending on the context, the lore, transformations, and new characters. Thus, a fun, entertaining, and possibly epic experience for many. The Dragon Ball fanbase should have a good experience.

Among its most positive points, I must highlight that great animation; the dedication and effort from Toei Animation are evident. Comparing it to Dragon Ball Super, the results speak for themselves. The entire soundtrack section should also be mentioned; the scores, the opening, and the ending are great. The color palette, the sequence of movements, the line work, and other technical aspects are well executed. The character design is quite decent, the author's essence is captured in every scene.

Dragon Ball Daima started with a spectacular first episode, being quite enjoyable after so many years and considering that this was the last work of the great Akira Toriyama. The mangaka provided a great gift for all his fans with many details seen in the episodes, but left many with various questions; we'll have to wait to see how they resolve all of that.

In its negative points, we find the addition of a few subplots that don't contribute much to the story, lengthening the episodes and, at times, ruining legendary details from past sagas. There are many unexpected twists that lack a solid argument, but this is Dragon Ball and it can be "understood" in a way. In the end, it was all because a wizard did it, and yes, there's a lot of weight in that.

The most visually attractive, detailed, and beautiful transformations lose a lot of importance, but it all depends on your experience. We have memorable characters, others who are all talk, others who are completely broken, and then there are those who don't add much at all.

Dragon Ball Daima, from my perspective, started off excellent and gradually declined. Even so, it is entertaining and deserves a chance. It could have been a great saga, but it has details that divide opinions.

After 7 episodes, Dragon Ball Daima is nothing short of great! And for those who love classic DB, it's a breath of fresh air after the underwhelming and lackluster Dragon Ball Super. Unlike Super, where the creative direction often felt just like the fanfic it is, and where the only good episodes were the fan service ones, Daima radiates Akira Toriyama's unmistakable touch. From the silly humor to the unique designs of characters and environments, it's clear that the series was helmed by the master himself. It's clear from the very start he was way more involved in this project than in Super and GT.

The art style is a joy btw, brimming with Toriyama's iconic charm and creativity, reminiscent of his work on the original Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump, Dragon Quest... just beautiful.

As for those dismissing the series as "too childish," it's hard not to think they might be die-hard Dragon Ball Super fans who lack a deeper understanding of Akira's original work. If you've never experienced the brilliance of classic Dragon Ball or Toriyama's earlier creations, you may miss the beauty of what Daima offers. But since you like Super so much, you will be good with any generic shonen - just don't despise Daima because the just ok Super was left behind for this one.

For true fans of the series and lovers of Toriyama's genius, Dragon Ball Daima is a triumphant return to the heart of what made this franchise a global phenomenon. Don't let the naysayers fool you-this is Dragon Ball at its best.

"Dragon Ball Daima" is a fictional anime series that would have been a thrilling addition to the Dragon Ball franchise. Taking place a year after the defeat of Kid Buu in Dragon Ball Z, and serving as a prequel to Dragon Ball Super, "Daima" would have sent Goku and his friends on a wild adventure into the mysterious Demon Realm.

This hypothetical show would have captured the spirit of classic Dragon Ball with its signature blend of humor, action, and heartwarming character interactions. Imagine Goku and his friends, inexplicably shrunk and thrust into this bizarre new world, facing off against grotesque demons, navigating treacherous landscapes, and encountering unexpected allies.

The animation would have been top-notch, of course, with vibrant colors, fluid fight choreography, and beautifully rendered character designs. The humor would have been classic Dragon Ball, with Goku's innocent misinterpretations and the quirky antics of the supporting cast providing plenty of laughs.

However, even in this fictional scenario, there's room for critical analysis. While the animation would likely be stunning, some fight scenes might feel repetitive to long-time Dragon Ball fans, given the franchise's history of epic battles. Additionally, the pacing might feel uneven at times, with some episodes focusing heavily on exploration and world-building while others might rush through important plot points.

Personally, I'd have loved to see an episode where Goku encounters a particularly mischievous demon who constantly tries to trick him, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings.

Despite these minor potential drawbacks, "Dragon Ball Daima" would have been a welcome addition to the Dragon Ball universe. It would have introduced unique characters and concepts, explored the themes of friendship and perseverance in new and exciting ways, and provided a nostalgic return to the franchise's roots with updated visuals and fresh storytelling.

This hypothetical show would have resonated with both longtime fans and newcomers, offering a thrilling adventure for all who love the world of Dragon Ball.

Having the essence over the very first Dragonball series Toriyama rebooted the franchise in the best way possible. He did not start it all over again , on the contrary he managed to continue the story in a genius way. And one more thing, this goku is so , so enjoyable to watch. Technically the picture is flawless, the details are very very good and at the last we have the chance to see something that does not have CGI that does not have a very complicated script is yet it is so good to watch. It is right now the best anime you can watch. We thought DB was dead. Well Master Akira prooved us all wrong.

I have seen so far 13 episodes of this anime called Dragon Ball Daima, after the disappointing Dragon Ball Super (an inadequate anime) for now this Daima holds itself to a better standard than both the disappointing Dragon Ball Super and the very bad Dragon Ball GT, however it is not a high level anime, it is barely sufficient, it does not shine as a narrative, it does not shine as character characterization, it does not shine in almost anything. It is an average product but nothing more, there are hundreds of anime that are similar if not superior to Dragon Ball Daima Dragon Ball Daima is therefore a just sufficient anime, it is not a first-rate anime, is a bit boring, a lot of recycled ideas, not very original.
