An all-new series, “Dragon Ball DAIMA”.The newest trailer focused on small lively Goku has revealed! #dragonball_DAIMA #dragonballOriginal work, Story & Char...
I was a bit skeptical myself, but the chief animation supervisors for this series include Chikashi Kubota, Naohiro Shintani, Yuya Takahashi, Takeo lde, and Miyako Tsuji. A powerhouse of some of the best people that worked on Super. It’s impossible not to be excited when they’re involved so heavily in this project.
That’s a low bar imo. I watched all of the Super anime and it was mostly okay with a sprinkle of a cool scene every like… 20 episodes. Of the entire universal tournament arc, only the finales of Goku vs Kefla and Goku/Frieza vs Jiren were hype for me. Vegito vs Zamasu was cool too, but the rest of that fight was botched (a spirit sword? jfc). I’m in the minority probably, but I won’t watch the Super anime again when it continues; I’m sticking to the manga.
The people I mentioned were likely some of the ones who worked on those scenes you thought were cool. Yuya Takahashi in particular was loved among fans for his style that heavily mirrored Yamamuro’s Buu saga style. Shintani was the one who came up with the designs for the recent Broly movie. If anything, this show will at least look competent, as long as the animators aren’t rushed like during Super’s production.
Can’t say I know what to expect from the story and writing, though.
Good to know on the animation front and thanks for the info. I don’t think good animation can save what’s become glaringly soulless production in the anime, but again, I’m trying to be open-minded and I’ll be glad to watch if I hear Daima’s good. Let’s hope Daima has some more heart put into it so it reaches the levels of quality as the Super manga.
