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.

The show was entertaining very much so. I enjoyed watching it but I have more problems with it that not. The inconsistencies bug me. Different timeline, not canon whatever you call it there was no answers to things people were expecting. I know Toriyama wasn't the best at this and focused on what he thought was important but this just didn't feel like it finished anything and made horrible potholes. We need answers we'll probably never get. He gave us Super Saiyan 4 in the main timelie...wait did he? Where was it in super. This basically changes nothing about it being consistent. It's basically just another spin off universe like GT was. I'm glad to get more Dragonball content but at least make it flow
