Dragon Ball Z’s Spinoff Daima Is Officially Available In English, And I Think Fans Should Be Watching For One Major Reason

by

2025 TV lineup is out, and while I’ve been eagerly anticipating “Dragon Ball Daima” since its 2024 premiere, here’s something that’s got me even more excited – fans of “Dragon Ball Z” and the franchise in general should definitely add it to their watch list. The English dubbed version of the spinoff series is finally available on Crunchyroll!

Even if it’s been a while since you last watched Goku and his crew, trust me, this one’s worth revisiting. There’s one particular aspect that makes this anime stand out and I believe it’s more than enough reason to tune in.

Immediately following its debut, I penned an appeal encouraging anime enthusiasts to check out “Dragon Ball Daima“. Subsequently, TopMob’s Phillip Sledge offered his perspectives too. Having seen a substantial portion of the original Japanese version with subtitles, I can now add another point as to why this series is exceptional. So, let’s delve into why every fan of the series who might be hesitating for some reason should definitely give it a watch.

Why Dragon Ball Daima Is A Must-Watch For DBZ Fans

I found myself drawn to the show Daima, as even at my advanced age, I retain a fondness for the iconic Z fighters from my childhood. Initially, I was hesitant about another spinoff featuring Goku transforming into a child, given my less than favorable experience with Dragon Ball GT. However, I persisted and eventually discovered an essential aspect that reeled me in completely.

In the year 2024, I found myself immersed in a vast amount of anime. Among them was the completion of DB Super, a series I had fallen behind on watching for quite some time. Despite my unwavering conviction that Goku could emerge victorious in a battle against Superman, what truly caught my attention was the minimalistic animation compared to contemporary anime. It seems this simplicity might be a deliberate choice, perhaps catering to fans accustomed to the art style of DBZ. However, it’s clear that anime has progressed significantly since the ’90s and moved far beyond its former aesthetic.

As a die-hard Dragon Ball fan, I’ve got to say that Daima truly feels like a groundbreaking leap into the 21st century for this iconic series. The animated fight sequences are simply breathtaking and demonstrate this evolution perfectly. What sets it apart is its innovative use of perspective, with shots like over-the-shoulder views of Goku during battle. It’s those subtle details you don’t appreciate until you see them, and now I can’t get enough! If you’re a visual enthusiast who yearns to witness what I consider the most visually stunning Dragon Ball installment yet, make sure to tune in!

How To Watch Dragon Ball Daima Dubbed On Streaming

You can stream “Dragon Ball Daima” through your Netflix subscription. However, the English dub of its first episode is only available on Crunchyroll right now. There’s a possibility that the dub will also become available on Netflix with a one-week delay, as has been the case for other anime releases, meaning it might be a week behind the weekly new episodes on Crunchyroll.

Personally speaking, if you’re eagerly anticipating the dubbed version of the Dragon Ball Z spinoff, I’d highly recommend subscribing to an anime-focused streaming platform as soon as it becomes available. Trust me on this, once you witness the delightful animation that this series boasts, you won’t regret your decision.

Every Friday at 11:45 a.m. Eastern Time, fresh episodes of “Dragon Ball Daima” can be streamed on Crunchyroll and Netflix. Although this series is set prior to “Super,” it already contains several thrilling revelations that fans should catch up on if they haven’t seen it yet.
