Serious question: Who is Daima supposed to appeal to? Besides the unfortunately high amount of Dragon Ball fans that’ll watch anything official.
It’s supposed to be a return to Dragon Ball’s adventure aspect, but there’s no actual worldbuilding and the adventures are boring, it's not made for OG DB fans. They fly, they stall for time or lose their ship in a completely avoidable way and then they lore dump like a Wiki page while they walk around until a beast or some thugs or those fodder soldiers show up. That wasn’t what the original Dragon Ball was like at all.
It's also not made for DBZ fans who just watch this show for the fights. Outside of E8, Daima has no engaging fight scenes like that. They’ve all just been on-model with middling to slightly above average choreography. Not to mention Daima has one of the lamest final battles I've ever seen. SSJ4 is one of the most pointless transformations that accomplishes nothing at the end of the day when Gomah loses to Kuu in Mario-style. Also, Toriyama made SSJ4's worse, design wise and plot wise. GT had the decency to build it up so it would pay off later and SSJ4 actually beat the big bad in its intro. It's not made for DBGT fans either.
The Demon Realm also isn’t interesting at all. 3 was just a desert with a couple of villages, the only thing 2 had was a giant and a really annoying kraken and 1 is literally a castle and that’s it. I would not want to see it again in any other series or movie. I don’t even want the areas as maps in the video games.
I think the only thing I can give it is that the new cast of characters they’ve introduced isn’t completely terrible. But apart from Kuu and Duu, I don’t think I want to see anyone else ever again. They're not engaging, apart from Hibys they're not that funny, and there’s no good writing to them. They’re just there.
