Dragon Ball Daima

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
