Dragon Ball Daima: Streaming Performance Discussion Thread

[Dragon Ball Ireland]

I didn't want TV ratings and performances in the streaming charts to be conflated so decided to make a separate thread.

Over the last week or so I noticed Twitter/X users in various countries noting how well Dragon Ball Daima has been doing on the streaming services where its been released so far.

Here's a few examples:

India : #1 in kid's shows and #4 overall on Netflix (as of October 23, 2024)

UK : #2 in kid's shows on Netflix (dated October 27, 2024)

Latin America : #1 in 15 countries on HBO Max (on October 27, 2024), namely Belize, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Salvador, Uruguay and Venezuela

Feel free to share any other reports about Daima doing well on any streaming platform.

It seems to me like Hong Kong is only getting the show streaming on Viu TV. It has not appeared on Netflix in the region. But it's free with ads (unless you're getting the paid service) so nothing to complain about.

How does Netflix count it's viewing performance?
Does watching 10 seconds count?
Or watching half the episode and then turning it off?

So why shouldn't they keep introducing new forms when they always break the internet when they do it?

If I was a producer or share-holder or whatever I'd tell the writers to make SSJ5 canon because people clearly consume this stuff.

The fandom shouldn't complain just because they've found a winning strategy.
