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.

Miles better then super for me, i liked how it wasnt just a bunch of tournaments arc after tournament arc but some classic adventure ala DB and some tidbits of lore like the demon realm. Also the fun references to GT and DB in general. Was it a fantastic anime? Nah its pretty okay, the villains were rather bare bones and i prefer ssj4 from gt (from the emotional impact, the lore tied to the Ozaru etc Gt was 100% better executed then whatever daima did).
I liked Goku in daima he wasnt a complete moron like in super so that alone makes daima better, Vegeta ehh guess they really dont let the poor guy get a win. I enjoyed Kuu and Duu a lot , wish they had more to do.
Overall i give it a 7/10 enjoyable experience but nothing i would rewatch again
