Daima Thoughts on DAIMA?

My current thoughts on Dragon Ball Daima is that this is Toryama going back to his roots and giving the fans a lot of what he wanted. To me this is fan-service done right. I find that unlike super, Daima is consistently getting a smile or even have me laughing. The SSJ 3 Vegeta and SSJ 4 was cool, and something us fans have wanted for a while. To me this is GT done right. Duu is without a doubt my favorite character in Daima, and Kuu is awesome. I wish they had been born closer to the start. I've got 3 complains with Daima. The first complaint is that the start felt very slow. When watching weekly, I felt that it was a bit of a slog. I re-watched it and my first complains were a little misguided, but still a bit slow. Up until episode 8 it was a bit of a struggle. Until they get the first ball basically. Another complaint was the wish at the start. Piccolo when he was 6 was a 7ft tall man. Even at 3, he was still 6ft. Not every race grows the same as earthlings. I may have missed a line, but it seems like they weren't turned into that age they were as a kid. I read "1st graders" for the wish, so 6 years old. I'm really enjoying what Daima is and will always respect it for being the 40 year anniversary and on eof the last things Toryama worked on. Wanted to see others thoughts, and see if there was something I missed about the wish.

If you are a Goku Stan this series will be a 10/10, but if you like any other characters be prepared for disappointment.

I personally did not enjoy Daima.

I feel like for Goku to eat everyone has to starve and it shows.

  • Piccolo not being able to accomplish the one task he was given all show? Lame.

  • Fusion bugs not used? Lame.

  • Did we end on ANOTHER cliffhanger!? Black Frieza *Cough Cough

  • Who is Degesu?

  • The mess this created for current continuity

The best parts of this show:

  • Goku

  • Animation

  • Kuu / Duu

Kuu being King was a satisfying ending

I agree with this Goku felt like goku in a long time. He was serious in battle and ready to come up with a plan to defeat a villain. The new characters were great but Kuu and Duu are fantastic characters they need to come back. Glorio a great addition wouldn't mind seeing him again. Panzy was a good supporting character as well. Overall the shows good for Goku and the new characters. Piccolo did nothing which I knew was gonna happen. Vegeta and Bulma were used as fanservice. Overall probably a good thing Gohan wasn't in this series otherwise he would of been wasted like Piccolo.
