Started this anime back in 2020 just because I wanted to see a show doing its fights well implementing both magic and sword-fighting THE RIGHT WAY (will not elaborate on this)
and 2 years later I'm invested in it for entirely new and different reasons while the main motive was being kept at a super high quality throughout
-
Great premise, great story, great characters, great villains, great power progression, great power system, a fair bit of comedy, lighthearted and wholesome moments, a good share of amazing and inspirational moments, moments that really made you think, super high stakes, incredible struggles, the importance of friendships, relationships and bonds
...
in general and how (with a little bit of actual magic) those can actually help you push through the toughest situations.

Overall this series is just fucking fantastic
Only things that could have been better would be the OP and ED but whatever; those don't matter as much as the anime itself. It's like the cherry on top if they're bangers too. However my rating shouldn't be influenced by something like that. Also the visuals and lyrics do be doing a bit of foreshadowing and shit and the deeper in you are the more you'll understand what's happening which is awesome.

Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken (2020)
or
Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai
is a wonderful example of a "modern" shounen done absolutely fucking right. It's exactly as its title says. It tells the story of Dai's adventure. A story with a beginning and an ending and a development throughout.
Simple stuff really
but the way it's executed is what makes it SO damn good.
-
So my score is definitely 10/10. For sure.
-
The sheer length and time investment (watching it weekly since the start) definitely helped me raise the rating. If it was a typical 12-episode or even 25-episode anime I don't think I'd be this invested in it or "obsessed" with it as much as I am right now.
