The Secrets of Dragon Ball Daima: What you need to know about this adaptation
Check it out:
Number of Episodes
The episode count is unknown, as not even the animators know the length. The series therefore does not feature varied art styles, the change from Z style to modern Toriyama occurs when they rejuvenate in episode 1, with the episode length being the standard 24 minutes.
About rejuvenating characters looking like GT
Although the concept of rejuvenating characters seems like something we remember from GT, it appears to be anything but. The series closely follows JRPGs that Toriyama has been involved in, such as Dragon Quest and Blue Dragon . Someone didn't reveal the other two main characters for some curious reason.
Directors and Character Designer of Dragon Ball Daima
Yoshitaka Yashima is the main director of the series, along with Aya Komaki. Yashima was a solo animator primarily at DBS, but provided many storyboards for the work that were very solid, making it his debut in the role. Nakatsuru is the series' character designer, but unlike recent works where he only provided designs, he will contribute by making corrections as well.
The art direction is by Takahashi Kurahashi, who you will recognize as the art director of Vegeta's brother's 2008 Special. We got a glimpse of some of its stunning sets in the trailer.
Color Design is by Rumiko Nagai who also did color work on DBS: Broly and Super Hero.
Anime animation supervisors
Some of the main animation supervisors include: Chikashi Kubota, Naohiro Shintani, Yuya Takahashi, Takeo Ide, and Miyako Tsuji. Practically a team of stars for a production strongly focused on artistic consistency. A team of stars for a production strongly focused on artistic consistency.
We can expect top Dragon Quest Dai professionals to appear as main animators. The emphasis is on raw combat and traditional weapons rather than ki blasts. Don't especially expect things like DBS transformations.
About the production of Daima
Production began in late 2021. Toei then created a pilot in early 2022 so that Toriyama and Shueisha could approve the project. Subsequently, the full team was recruited in April 2022. Finally, animation properly began in October of the same year, shortly after the completion of Dragon Quest: Dai.
The scope of the series grew during production, with many people's time being extended beyond their initial agreements. Its release format is no longer 100% certain, and the main DBS TV series is on the back burner for now.
Base inspiration for DB animation: Daima
While it's true that the series is aimed at a younger audience, there will still be dramatic moments. Production documents indicate Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer as sources of inspiration, although it is unclear in what sense.
Deep involvement from creator Akira Toriyama
They weren't kidding when they said this is the most Toriyama has ever been involved with. He and Shueisha went so far as to check the actual cuts of the animation to ensure it best matched his vision, not just script and design this time.
Choosing the name Dragon Ball Daima
The series had a last minute name change to Daima , the name considered would be Dragon Ball Magic, being updated recently, last week. However, this name always had “provisional” (仮; kari) i.e. Magic, written in it.
Remembering that all the secrets we highlighted in this article about the anime “Dragon Ball Daima” were from the user @AnimeAjay who promoted it in his thread on X (Twitter), being translated by the profile @CanalBudokai .
Synopsis:
Due to a conspiracy, Goku and his friends are turned into children. To make things right, they will leave for a new world! It's a great adventure with intense action in an unknown and mysterious world. But since Goku has to compensate for his small size, he uses his Nyoibo (Pole Power) to fight, something that hasn't been seen in a long time.
Finally, the Dragon Ball Super premiered in July 2015 and aired for 131 episodes until March 2018. Funimation and Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired, and Funimation released the series on streaming.
