Understanding Viewer Sentiments on Dragon Ball Daima: Survey Insights
Part 3 of the survey results on Dragon Ball Daima reveals fascinating insights into how fans perceive various elements of the series. In this section, we will explore the responses of 1,182 participants regarding ten specific sentiment statements. These statements were designed to gauge viewers’ opinions on various aspects of Daima, such as animation quality, voice acting, music, and overall excitement for the show.
Animation Quality: A Universal Appreciation
The first statement examined was about the animation quality of Daima. An overwhelming 98.05% of respondents, or 1,159 viewers, expressed agreement that the animation was good. This finding signifies that nearly all participants found the visual aspect of the series engaging and enjoyable. The animation was described as smooth, colorful, and technically impressive, particularly during action sequences and character transformations.
Many fans took to the optional comment section to express their delight. One viewer noted, “Daima’s animation standard was the highest it’s ever been,” while another mentioned, “The animation and technical quality were impeccable.” However, a small minority, only 23 individuals, disagreed with this sentiment. These dissenters included animation aficionados and professionals who pointed out inconsistencies and some missing transitions in certain scenes. Some felt that the character designs lacked detail, likening them to toys made for children.
Voice Acting: A Positive Reception Across Languages
The next sentiment statement focused on voice acting. A notable 97.5% of participants agreed that Daima’s voice acting was good in the language they watched. Given that many viewers opted for the Japanese version with subtitles, the high level of agreement indicates that the quality of voice acting has significantly improved over the years. This is particularly interesting when compared to earlier iterations of the Dragon Ball franchise, where the dubbed versions often fell short of the original Japanese performances.
The evolution of international dubbing studios has led to better quality voice acting, with many fans noting that the new cast members for the series delivered commendable performances. One viewer remarked, “The voice acting, especially by a bunch of new cast members, was great.” However, there was one critique regarding the English dub, where a viewer described the delivery as feeling “artificially generated.” Overall, the sentiment surrounding voice acting in Daima was overwhelmingly positive, regardless of the version viewers chose.
Music and Sound Effects: Mixed Reactions
When it came to the music and sound effects in Daima, 86.04% of respondents agreed that they were good. Fans particularly enjoyed the opening theme, "Jakka Jann," and to a lesser extent, the ending theme, "Nakama." Many expressed that they found themselves humming along while watching, with some even continuing to listen to the soundtrack outside of the show.
Despite this, there was a noticeable drop in agreement compared to the animation and voice acting statements. Some viewers expressed disappointment, feeling that the music did not resonate with the spirit of the Dragon Ball series. Comments like, “The music didn’t feel like Dragon Ball,” and “It was poorly placed in each episode,” were common among those who were less satisfied. One viewer even lamented, “I can’t recall any track or hum any tune apart from Jaka Jaan,” suggesting that the overall soundtrack failed to leave a lasting impression.
While some fans appreciated the battle themes, others noted that they became repetitive over time. The general consensus seems to be that while the music was serviceable, it didn’t quite reach the heights of past Dragon Ball soundtracks, leaving many feeling that it was "just fine" but not memorable.
Pre-Premiere Excitement: High Anticipation
Prior to its premiere, Dragon Ball Daima generated considerable excitement among fans. An impressive 82.99% of participants indicated they were excited to watch the series before it aired. This level of enthusiasm is noteworthy, especially considering the limited marketing efforts prior to the premiere. Many fans expressed their eagerness to explore the Demon Realm, a new aspect of the Dragon Ball universe.
However, not everyone felt this excitement. A total of 201 respondents indicated they were not initially excited but changed their minds after watching the series. This shift in perception underscores the potential for the series to capture viewers’ attention and imagination after they began watching.
Overall Success of Daima: A Divided Opinion
Finally, the survey examined how viewers felt about the overall success of Daima. Approximately 75.80% of respondents agreed that the series was successful, while 286 participants did not share this sentiment. This marked the first sentiment statement that fell below the 80% threshold, indicating a more divided opinion among fans.
Many viewers praised Daima for its nostalgic elements, humor, and the lighthearted tone that is characteristic of the Dragon Ball series. Comments highlighted the charm of Akira Toriyama’s writing, with one viewer stating, “Daima truly felt like Toriyama picked right back up where he left off in 1995.” However, there were also critiques regarding the series’ pacing and depth, with some fans feeling it lacked the development they anticipated.
One particularly vocal viewer expressed strong dissatisfaction, listing numerous flaws and concluding that the series was a “pathetic waste of time.” In contrast, other fans noted that Daima had been in development for six years, which raised their expectations for a more polished and fleshed-out narrative.
Conclusion of Part 3
This section of the survey provides valuable insights into the audience’s sentiments regarding Dragon Ball Daima. From animation quality to voice acting and overall success, the responses illustrate a complex and nuanced view of the series.

For fans and newcomers alike, Daima represents not just a continuation of a beloved series but also an opportunity to engage with familiar characters in new and exciting ways.
