The Dragon Ball Daimi anime will end on February 28, just four months after its launch.
The event should have been a monumental celebration for the 40th anniversary of the launch of the Dragon Ball brand that became a great disappointment for many Japanese fans. On social networks and specialized forums, the comments constantly appear and most agreed on one thing: “Dragon Ball GT is definitely better than Dragon Ball Daimi”.
Since the last episode was published, forums have been filled with criticism and comparison. “There are only 20 episodes? Even the battles in Dragon Ball Z last longer,” a fan joked. While others think that the story seems unnecessary for such a short story: “It feels like they try to extend the plot of 10 episodes into 20 episodes. dynamic. “
And of course, if talking about comparison, Dragon Ball GT is the mouth of many people: “Is GT bad? Oh, compared to Dragon Ball Daimi, it is a work of art”. A fan criticized: “At least GT gave us Super Saiyan 4, and Daimi left us something? Nothing.”
One of the most important points in the new story is the main villain Gomah but disappointed: “He does not cause anything, doesn't even seem to be a real threat.”
There are also complaints about the lack of tension in Daimi's battles: “In Z, we have Frieza, Cell, Majin Buu … Here, the enemy even seems not wanting to fight seriously. There is no danger “.
With the departure of author Akira Toriyama in March 2024, many people wonder if it has anything to do with the end of the series: “Toriyama has left and TOEI decided to remove everything?” . But fans remember that the film was completed before the author died: “From the beginning they said there were 20 episodes. It was not they cut it, it was just too short.”
Another common complaint is that the characters never return to their mature shape. “In GT, at least Goku has returned to normal size with Super Saiyan 4 state. There is nothing here,” one said.
With the end of the Dragon Ball Daimi series, some believe that it is time to end this brand:
“The situation is worse. Super has its own moments, but this movie is no longer like Dragon Ball.”
