All Purpose Dragon Ball Thread

Oh also @StrymULTRA I asked Firestorm to be allowed to comment on the thread. See you there no doubt.

I don't have much of a strong opinion on Daima, to be honest. There's elements of it that I like and elements that I didn't like, but overall I wouldn't say that I was a big fan of Daima.

Still, I can see the perspective of those who did enjoy Daima for what it was and I don't want to take that away from them.
 
There really is no anime worse than DBH, look, i'm not even a hater of the verse
It's one thing to not like Heroes, I can completely understand that. But to say that there's nothing worse than Heroes when there's plenty of anime with genuine disgusting, disturbing, and or horrific elements to it is just completely bullshit.

I'm talking about the DB franchise, DBH isn't very good and it seems like the manga is better, that was a bad adaptation of the manga.

Makes sense, though the way you worded it made it sound like you were talking about anime as a whole and not just Dragon Ball.

Still it's cool, but I'd recommend being careful with how you word your comments to prevent mistakes like that from being made.
 
The things I'd give GT over Daima is the ending (It's legit the best ending in the series canon or otherwise, ignoring the lame ass Goku Jr shit I just pretend that's like a special episode or whatever instead of the true ending), I think the design for SS4 is better and like two thirds of the Baby Saga are written a bit better than some of Daimas best writing.

For Super... I can't think of anything. I could use the movies but that kinda feels like cheating and I wanna try and think of something I'd give the DBS anime over Daima.

Don't ever watch the anime of Grisaia no Kajitsu then.
At least Dragon Ball Heroes isn’t a snoozefest where nothing happens, unlike boringaima
I mean, It is sometimes.
In Diama the final battle was ass, not even animation can carry 🤢
Sure.
I mean, after rewatching the whole fight does feel very weird.

The whole fight is pointless, because is against a a character that can regenerate so the entire episodes that takes place that are they just puching Gomah is stupid. Is later revealead that the third eye have a weakness, which probally should been known for the very start, because make the entire fight before be a waste.

And everyone already knows how the fight ended. With a joke. Which in my opinion, could been have more meat. As It stands, the joke looks unintentionally stupid.

Like, Majin Kuu goes convenitelly behind Gomah Head, and start mashing his Head with a book. But is drawn way too smooth to sell the joke, It looks weird.
Where in the **** was Gohan? None of the characters had any relevance to the plot 💀

Gohan would't change anything in the plot lol
You see what they did with Picollo?
except that, i don't factor the animation very much if most of the series is not at the level
That seems alright.
Disliking Daima is fine and all but putting it below GT and Super is kinda crazy
I put Daima bellow Super. I think a bunch people do too, is really not that crazy.
Baby saga and original SSJ4 is above anything in Daima
Ehhh, I can only agree with SSJ4.
The Baby Saga is very painfull.
 
For Super... I can't think of anything. I could use the movies but that kinda feels like cheating and I wanna try and think of something I'd give the DBS anime over Daima.
You know what? I'm going to say something controversial, something very controversial: Dragon Ball Super's writing, especially involving the slice of life scenes, is genuinely solid and I think that it's better than Daima's writing.

Personally don't agree with it's writing overall being better than Daima, but those slice of lifes scenes? Yeah they're peak.

The last episode was by far the worst, it was pretty much "we gave you SSJ4, now fu** off".

Actually the episode where Goku was jobing against random soldiers who can't even fly for a whole episode might be the worst
 
Copying thing from GT don't make It worse trought. Only If It copied and made It worse.
Everyone IS a child, they go to explore the universe (or another world)and there IS SSJ4...Who IS just another transformation
Is not Canon to Super.

If It contradicts things that happened there, It would't matter.

Like, It does contradicts the original manga homever.
Yeah but you know
 
Thematically, Daima is pretty strong. It just has some pacing and continuity issues.

Are those issues enough to make it bad? No, that's silly imo. Most of the criticism I hear for the story that isn't about those two things are people just throwing random sht at a wall and saying it's bad without really explaining how or why, which is pretty standard for DB fans lol.

But the show took its time when it shouldn't have, and obviously left some glaring holes with continuity, (plus Arinsu was a let down), but otherwise Daima is pretty solid after a rewatch.
 
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder but using taste works too I suppose.

I still believe Daima is pretty much a Dragon Quest/Warrior story but with Dragon Ball characters (that hasn't changed for me). Still, I don't know if I even liked or dislike it tbh, maybe rewatching from the beginning (dubbed this time) will solidify my opinions.
