Dragon Ball DAIMA‘s brand-new entry to the long-running and beloved franchise celebrates the 40th anniversary of Akira Toriyama’s 1984 original manga. Crunchyroll beckoned the new Dragon Ball era with the anime‘s premiere on Friday, October 11, 2024.
Toei Animation returned to produce the iconic series that has been a monumental part of most childhoods. With original story and character designs based on the creations of the late legendary manga creator, the ‘DAIMA’ iteration welcomes Otakus to the ‘Demon Realm.’
Once a running conspiracy shrinks Goku and his friends, they all become part of an adventure that lays the groundwork for introducing new characters like Gloria and Panzy in an unknown world.
Yoshitaka Yashima, the key animator of Dragon Ball Z: Cooler’s Revenge, helms the charge in the director’s chair for the new title alongside One Piece series director Aya Komaki. Yuko Kakihara manages the series composition and scenario, while Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru produces animation character designs. Dragon Ball DAIMA switches up the music scene by enlisting Grammy Award-winning artist Zedd as the composer for the opening theme song “Jaka Jaan,” performed by the singer-songwriting duo of CLIEVY and KEEN (C&K). The German music producer and DJ also produces the ending song “NAKAMA” with artist AI singing and writing the lyrics to the musical piece.
