    A unique take on unique stories

    It is an anime with a very characteristic identity of its own, which even feels apart from the manga (on which the show is based). They offer a particular value to some moments by adding scenes that are not originally there and this is what gives it a different essence, but close to the plot of spirits - mystery - aliens. I have to confess that, even though I have already read the manga, there are still emotional moments capable of bringing tears to my eyes within the hilarious situations that the protagonists live. The origin stories of spirits are certainly one of my weak points. Thank you for reading my review.

    This anime is going to be a big hit

    The Dan Da Dan movie is a visual feast, delivering an exhilarating experience from start to finish. One of the most striking aspects of the film is its art style. The animation is stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp lines that perfectly capture the chaotic energy of the story. Each frame feels alive, and the character designs are particularly standout, bringing to life the quirky and unique personalities from the manga.

    The film moves at an incredibly fast pace, but it never feels rushed. Whether it's the intense fight scenes or the more personal, character-driven moments, everything flows seamlessly. The action sequences are a huge highlight, showcasing dynamic choreography and creative use of powers. Each fight feels grand and thrilling, keeping you on the edge of your seat, while still maintaining emotional weight through the characters' interactions and development.

    What's even more impressive is how well the movie integrates the three episodes it covers. They feel tightly connected, with no awkward transitions or disjointed pacing. The story is cohesive, making it easy to stay immersed in the world. Overall, Dan Da Dan delivers an electrifying mix of high-speed action, stunning visuals, and heartfelt moments that will leave both fans of the series and newcomers wanting more.

    MIND-BENDING GOODNESS.

    With incredible voice acting, music, sound effects, and absolutely mind-blowing art, DANDADAN was an incredible adaptation of the manga.

    I've been a fan of the manga for a while now, and it's still pretty new, but I that I shouldn't sleep on it. I was a huge fan and loved it so much, I thought it couldn't get any better. But it did.

    DANDADAN: FIRST ENCOUNTER brought dandadan to life in ways that I never thought possible, and it blew my mind. The animation was some of the best i've EVER seen on an anime, the style was silly and heartfelt at the same time, and the characters had absolutely larger-then-life personalities, and I just couldn't help but love each one of them and feel immersed in the world.

    In all, DANDADAN is silly, sad, action-packed and romantic- what else could you ask for?

    The show is geting better and better

    At first it started chaotic with this Anime, maybe a bit of a cliché, but the last episode, episode 7 just went nuts, with the visuals with the story telling, the characters. It is one of the best episodes of Anime this year definitely, and one of the better ones in general. It checks all the boxes. The team has done a extremley good job. The visuals are like a movie, fluid and in some moments in the retrospective shots, you fortget that it is a anime you are wathcung and not a movie. The charactera, even for a such short screen time are so well portraid and you feel so involvede with them. The movies and shows that are now writen, and maid by Hollywood, and the streaming services, could learn a lot from this show. Extremely well done, congrats!
