The new Dandadan anime is quite frankly.. PEAK?!

Video Review

What Stands Out About This Episode?

The Similarities w/ Another SHONEN!

If there is one anime that Dandadan reminds me of in recent memory, it is Mob Psycho. With the supernatural aspect and ‘trippy’ hallucinogenic art style, Dandadan replaces that humorous and “I would have never thought of that because I’m not insane” kind of creativty, wrapped up in a cohesive narrative with characters that already show some good depth—all within the very first episode. This anime captures the look and supernatural vibes that Mob Psycho left behind. But, on top of that, we get an intriguingly fresh scenario where the “romantic-comedy” element is added.

The Last Few Bastions of CRAZY IDEAS

Anime is one of the last few mediums where creativity knows no boundaries—where that fine line of maniacal ideas makes you question the sanity of the person who wrote it and whether or not we should be worried about them. Dandadan fully embraces this eccentricity with its romantic first encounter, leading the two main characters, Momo Ayase and Ken Takakura, to take a major leap and put themselves in incredible danger. All to prove that Ken’s belief in the occult and Momo’s belief in ghosts are, in fact, reality.

These IDEAS ARE DIABOLICAL!

This is where the diabolical nature of what Dandadan represents is at its peak. The comedic nature of the characters, the uncomfortable scenarios, the creepy designs of the characters are come at you wildly fast.

The main characters are odd and the connection between them seem to be one that shouldn’t manifest any romantic chemistry, but that’s where the narrative pits them into a DARK and DEEP situation to forever ingrain their experiences together. That’s absolutely the most normal part of this entire first episode. But, where it gets uncomfortably hilarious is that MOMO gets into a “300 bottles of lube situation” with some REAL ALIENS that want to “DIDDY HER..” for her uterus?! Because they want to procreate in another way that isn’t just cloning ten thousand alien Diddies?

How many layers of “WHAT THE F**K are there?!” Not only does the anime have insane ideas as that, the Alien Diddies have an equally insane character that wants YOU to TOUCH HER OPPAIS! It’s the ghost of a woman that is well beyond even her twilight years, into the abyss of super-duper post death menopause. However, it gets even worse as she wants regain her horny prime years to curse and to absolutely grasp.. clasp.. clamp.. Ken Takakura’s banana and use it as blackmail for Momo to I guess.. fight her? Because decrepit, old lewd women who refuses to allow even in death, to let rigor mortis set in and take their bodies into the underworld hate younger women?!

That’s a joke guys.. Don’t cancel me!

All in all, I would suggest that you guys go watch my video review of this episode because I’m totally not trying to self-promote. I just want you guys to watch “forced alien entry” and for you guys to watch a poor soul’s wiener be CLAMPED!
