| This anime just keeps getting good. I love the fight sequence with the CGI. The pacing is going. Can't wait until next episode to meet the rest of Dai's crew. |
 |
| Too childish for my taste, looks like it could be a great kids show though. |
 |
| Good second episode, I liked it. The fight in CGI didn’t look bad, that’s nice. |
 |
| Another simply solid episode. Maybe I'll finally keep watching a long-running anime weekly for once! |
 |
| This episode felt bland in terms of charm and content, but the animation wasnt too bad. Drawings feel cheap but the action in this episode had animation that definitely improved the enjoyment more for me. Still dig the OP weirdly enough. |
| Quite nice, the classic vibe makes this a lot of fun. Leona is cute. CG fight was surprisingly decent. |
 |
| maou and yuusha tropes again!?!? 4/5. |
 |
| Damn the CG fight scene looking clean.... |
 |
| I did enjoy the episode, but it felt so rushed... the bad guy is teleported directly into the Killing Machine, the princess' ritual was done in like 20 seconds... weird. The animation is still above my expectations, though. |
| Man I fucking love this, I feel like i'm a kid again. And lolz dai just ultra instinct for the pussy but can't do jack shit for his little friend when they kidnapped him ROFL |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Not loving it but i'm just glad to be experiencing Dai no Daiboken again, can't wait to see Aban next episode. |
| Damn another episode with rock solid production. The fight animation was seriously so well done. Plot was kinda childish again but still enjoyable nonetheless. Also Leona's a nice girl. |
 |
| Not only were Hulu's subs fixed this episode, it also showed a lot more potential than the first imo, and I know it'll prob be a good time. Sorta reminds me of the early seasons of Adventure Time + battle shounen. Dai and Leona are really cute together too. The only thing is that I think the fight would've flowed better as fully 2d, but whatevs. Also wondering if the mech has any importance to the worldbuilding or not, but I guess we'll see. Looking forward to more! |
 |
| The cgi is good but switching from traditional animation to cg in that way was pretty meh. Hope to see something more interesting next time, I like the art style and I don't want it to be too average or standard story wise |
My candies:     Bonus:   |
| Very good episode, I really the old school feeling Yay the princess was saved The CGI fights felt a bit laggy tho |
 |
| This anime is a story of a conventional hero, which is really rare these days. Dai is the chosen one. In this episode, there is a short 3D battle scene, which is quite well made. |

| Second episode, uh... is it just me, or does the pacing feel way faster (in a bad way) than it did in the 1991 anime? I know that for now, I'm effectively watching a revision of same anime that I just finished, but things feel like they're moving along waaayyy too quickly. Oh well, maybe the parts of this anime that are different (I mean, look at the episode count difference, there are gonna be new parts) are gonna be paced less like the opposite of a directors cut. Both Popp's and Avan's seiyu sound great, almost indistinguishable from their 1991 counterparts. Still just an above average episode, again, not as good as the equivalent episode from the 1991 anime. |

The pace will be 60 pages = 1 episode. The 90's was slower and had a lot of filler and ambiance scenes. We were shocked too when we saw this new pacing but after episode 25 ( and new stuff) you will understand it's a normal pacing. |

I often go back and forth between watching a lot of old and new anime (Though I usually stick with old stuff), and it just surprises me how much more comfortable I am with the pacing in older anime. I'm still pretty hopeful that I'll like this anime, given how much I loved the older adaptation. |

| Man that flip flop between the CG and 2D was so cool. |
