Dragon Ball Daima

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).

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.

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.

Dragon Ball Daima anime made between 2024 and early 2025, is an anime in my opinion full of defects some even quite gross. Let's say that Toei could have put more effort especially at the level of consistency of plot and story development which in some places besides being simple and childish, it seems to be written by people who are not more than 10 years old, really in some places the plot of Dragon Ball Daima seems to be written by children, it is so simple and trivial that you can't believe it. I expected more, also because I didn't like Dragon Ball Super, that is a pretty bad anime.

There is nothing else to say.
