Dragon Ball Daima

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.

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.

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!

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).
