    Old but new story

    Good series whose style reminded me a lot of the first season of Dragon Ball with which shares both strengths and weaknesses in many ways.

    With the levels of power it remains much more contained than Dragon Ball even if at some point at the end something a bit like in the Naruto series gets out of hand.

    Apart from this the series is the faithful repetition of the manga so there are no surprises or substantial changes. The characters are well made and are not stereotyped even if they refer to archetypes of the genre.

    It is a series done well, certainly does not shine for originality but considering that the manga from which it is based is from the 80s it can be said that it has withstood the passage of time in an excellent way.

    Popp was the heart & soul of the series, the MVP. A beautiful anime with great pacing and fight scenes.

    Apparently its a remake of the classic run which i was unaware of before. But i do familiar with this franchise as i grew up playing their roleplay games. I adore the amazing world building aspect in this anime, just like in the game. Tons of characters development.

    Great animation quality with great attention to details and popping colors, which was bright and exciting to watch. With the amazing scores and audio quality, it sets up a perfect adventurous mood for the viewers. It was so fun.

    The storyline was quite generic, something we've seen adopted repeatedly by several animes. The twists were too predictable, unfortunately. The pacing was great - fast but not too much. The opening and ending songs were okay, some were memorable.

    Love the characters potrayal and their design. Emotionally approachable and memorable. Perfect for cosplaying. The voice castings were terrific for most of them. The action scenes were amazing to watch.

    Few side notes, Maam have the same writting as for sakura from the naruto series. Dai reminds me of Gohan from the dragon ball series. Most of the magic spell name were hilarious. Perfect for binge watching, wont burn you out. Highly recommended.

    Good anime and story

    Dragon quest the adventure of Dai is an excellent story and manga, no doubt. Strong characters, plot, and quite entertaining. It is early to judge this re-make of the original anime. But watching 6 episodes so far, I feel this new version lacks the dark atmosphere that surrounded evil characters in the 1991 version. The battle between Avan and Hadlar, for example, felt darker and more serious in 1991 than 2020. I found the music in 1991 so far superior, which adds to the 1991 version. The new version (until first 6 episodes) is a bit rushed as well; several parts which gave momentum to plot are skipped. That is not to say the new version is bad; animation is still superior to 1991. Also, the rush is probably to catch up quickly with where the manga originally stopped. I hope they pace down at that point and include more of the details which made the story great.

    dai no daibouken is an underated anime of 2020 -2021

    Most people who rated this anime in myanimelist, is giving a low rate because there is not enough gore, sex , and enough blood, CG animation

    they totally forgot about condition of anime as of now, during covid times, and the fact that this show is for kids in japan..

    and they give rate based on their own judgement, without considering these facts..

    but I'm glad people in imdb give it a high rate, around 8, and it deserves it

    I don't need to say anything about this anime.. because u already know how good this anime is from people above me... LMAO and yes, it deserved it..

    have fun watching it!

    Visually beautiful with an enthralling story.

    There are no dips in quality for this series, story wise and in animation. One of the fight scenes is so well animated, its hard for me to say I have seen better, its only downfall is part of the fight scene had cgi in it, but asides from that, I blows deku vs overhaul and any jujitsu kaisen fight out of the water in terms of quality and beauty of animation.
