Dandadan

I've watched the first two episodes so far. The first one totally blew my mind! The second one wasn't as strong, but still good. If the anime stays this good until the end, it's easily gonna be one of the best of the year.

The visuals are amazing. I legit shouted when Ayase was walking down the hallway all upset-it was both super real and at the same time just hyper-exaggerated. The animation quality is off the charts: emotions, movements, everything is done so well. There's some clever perspective play, kind of like Return to Treasure Island, but done more subtly.

I don't know much about school life in Japan (never been there), but for some reason, I believe this is how it actually is. (Sorry if I'm wrong, Japanese friends, but you guys keep making anime like this, so what can I say?)

The characters are super vibrant. Ayase kind of reminds me of Eris from Mushoku Tensei (miss her a lot). She's just as wild and impulsive, but also kind and caring.

Ken Takakura reminds me of Zenitsu from Demon Slayer.. He's shy and lacks confidence. I'm curious to see how his character evolves by the end of the season-hoping for some growth, but who knows. And yeah, it's funny that he shares the same name as the legendary actor Ken Takakura.

The humor is solid, and there's a lot of it. Some of it's a bit edgy. I'm sure I missed some references, so if you catch any, feel free to share, even if they seem obvious to you!

Oh, and did you know that in Japan they use sea creatures as insults? I had no idea. But let's be real, "brainless shrimp" hits way harder than "stupid ram," right?

Being a manga reader first, I was quite skeptical at first, because I adored the writing and art-style of the manga, and I thought an anime adaptation for a manga this ambitious and genre bending would be watered down in both art and animation, especially when I saw the first looks (very skeptical of their being less details on characters) but all those worries soon dissolved away when I finally heard it's Science SARU doing it, not to mention their recent line-up Scott pilgrim, Devilman crybaby and keep your hands off Eizouken all match the zaniness and vibe of DandaDan, also studio founder Masaaki Yuasa is one of my favorite anime directors/animators of all time, worked on shows such as Ping pong, Tatami Galaxy and again Devilman.

Ever since the first episode drop, I've been anticipating the next week after week, as it does not pale comparison to the manga, sometimes even better. I was mainly worried because this was the first anime I read first, but now I know Dandadan not only cemented itself as a phenomenal manga but also a great anime.

I'll consider this an all-rounder anime, every aspect of this anime is on point like animation, character development, humour, everything.

I personally think that this anime stands out because of its unique blend of action, comedy, and supernatural elements. The way it connects the concepts of ghosts and aliens makes it truly different from other shows, giving it a fresh and original vibe. That's the main reason it's receiving so much love and appreciation from the audience.

The emotional moments really elevate the story and give more depth to the characters. The Acrobatic Silky Arc was definitely the highlight of this season.

At this moment, the intro song has become a popular meme - it's super catchy. The music production team has done a fantastic job overall.

Overall, I was unable to find any major flaws in this anime. Everything was on point, and I would definitely love to watch the second part of this season.

Dandadan kicks off with an absolute banger of an intro by Creepy Nuts that instantly grabs your attention and sets the tone for the wild ride ahead. The anime blends supernatural elements, action, and comedy in a way that feels fresh and unique, giving new-gen anime fans something truly exciting to look forward to The show wastes no time immersing you in its unpredictable and fast-paced story, revolving around eccentric characters dealing with bizarre situations involving aliens and ghosts. The animation quality is top-tier, with stunning visuals that capture the chaotic energy of each scene perfectly But what really stands out is the potential this anime has.

With its dynamic storytelling, memorable characters, and fantastic world-building, Dandadan has all the makings of a new anime classic. The balance between its heart-pounding action, humor, and heartfelt moments makes it an easy 10/10 for me If you're looking for a unique, adrenaline-pumping anime that breaks away from typical shonen tropes, this is definitely one to keep your eyes on.

Yes,it's not perfect,but I like it personally. Id like to give it a high record. The animation effect is very impressive and also interesting. The voice actors worked very hard and created a very comfortable experience for me. It can be seen that the production team has invested a lot of funds and efforts. I'm actually willing to give it a perfect score, but the anime is not yet finished,and there are many elements of guilty pleasures in the plot,i dont like it too much. But after all it's a quite interesting work,with comedy,romance,action,and little horror elements. If someone wants to watch but is still hesitating,I would advise you watch it as soon as possible.
