Hell no it doesn’t need to be as popular as DS that would only make it worse the term “overrated” will be plastered on the series unironically everytime someone brings it up or says that it’s their favourite normalize gatekeeping some stuff.

Slow down my guy, it's just the 1st episode, we don't even know if this anime will flop later on with bad animation or something.

@Uruichi Attack on Titan is arguably one of the most popular anime of all time yet you will hardly hear anyone calling it's overrated or overhyped. I have seen more people calling it underrated or underhyped during final season lol. I think if the quality of the anime is good it wouldn't get unusual criticism.

@xZabuzax Mob Psycho level of weird. Both the anime are very similar.

@KWilke

well as some have stated above, its too sexual for the normies... keep in mind some mainstream shows like JJK and Demon Slayer some people watch with their parents which is why theyre so huge

i doubt people would do that with a series like this

Lol then you probably haven’t seen enough criticism of it on Reddit or twitter there’s definitely a good chunk of ppl who do not like AOT and think that it’s overrated did you not see how many aot fans did not like the manga ending? Isayama actually had to apologize to the fans during his visit in one of the NYC anime con or whatever it was lmao it’s absolutely ridiculous behaviour by the fans that it pissed me off.

it's characters and style might be a bit too zany and wild for the normals. However, ik there is a certain point in the story where the story absolutely locks in, so there is a a good chance it gets popular.

@Uruichi Those are manga readers who hates the ending. I am not talking about them. I am strictly talking about the anime fan's who watched the final season of AOT.

It's kinda hard to satisfy everyone. Manga readers really overreact way to much. When the final episode of the anime aired people had completely different reactions totally different compared to the manga readers.

Probably not on that same lvl but it can definitely come close. It has massive mainstream appeal and I've already seen the 1st episode getting a lot of eyeballs. Mainly depends on 2 factors:
a)2nd cour needs to come very soon after the 1st one ends.
b)Needs 1 mega episode like Demon slayer ep 19 or JJK ep 7 or Oshi no ko ep 1.
Everything else will be smooth sailing if these 2 criteria gets checked coz it's already getting a premium lvl adaptation.

I think the scene where the aliens try to rape Ayase may turn off a lot of viewers. I know in my experience my friends have a harder time picking up recommendations from me that have sexual content in the first episode. It's why getting anyone to watch Undead Unluck can be such a pain, despite the fact that 90% of the fan service is contained to the first few Episodes.

I seen a lot of people saying more like CSM and I agree, probably too weird (in a good way) for the average anime consumer. I don’t even mean that in a “my taste is better than yours” way, but Dan Da Dan is gloriously freakin weird and probably won’t be everyone’s cup of tea

Yes, most definetly. At least in Japan. Tomorrow we get the first day rankings of the latest volume, so we shoulf be able to see a jump up. It might not be to big yet, but if we see some backlog and a slightly higher placement in Shoseki and it will atleast grow quite a bit bigger.

I doubt it’s to weird for normies considering shows like Rick and Morty has gotten hella popular lately. Still don’t think it will gain that level of popularity tho

True. First episode and THAT scene should successfully filter out most tourists. And from what I've heard, more is yet to come. But unfortunately Those Grifters Who Deliberately Walk Into Place Full Of Things They Don't Like And Are Now Offended will stay, be loud and obnoxious.
Animation is really on par with JJK and looks amazing. I especially liked Ayase's roundhouse kick.

"this would be a such a badass anime, but theres too much fanserivce"/"the characters are too young" etc, blah blah blah. copy paste criticisms... STFU and fuck off.... but ofc THEY WON'T...

Yeah you’re right about people not being as harsh on western content.

And I haven’t watched all that much of Rick and Morty but I know in some episodes there can be some sexual scenes, they are usually just intended as part of jokes and not fan service though, so I suppose it’s not quite the same thing and people might look at it differently🤷

Not to gatekeep, but Demon Slayer and JJK work because they're very easy to digest for a wider audience. Dandadan has a dudes literal gold nuts as the core driving force of the story, that is not as easily marketable. I'd love it getting super popular, but I don't see it happening

it depends on the character development and how consistent the animation art itself is. after I read the manga, the MC has development but it's a bit slow. but the horror nuance is getting thicker, so the audience doesn't get bored because there are a lot of vibrations in the storyline. and I like the insert music that is presented.. very classy!

Who cares if it's popular or not. What do you actually gain from it? More fans and merchandise I guess? Does that really matters? Everyone always makes a big fuss about something being popular or not like it would completely change the quality of the product itself. As long as you enjoy it that is enough.

@SimonM6420 I suppose the popularity of it very much effects how many seasons it'll get, and likely the budget as well, so... there's that.

@sadoldman I agree with that but I'm taking a second season for granted honestly. I feel like there's already a lot of good word of mouth from people on socials and the anime is probably gonna do good, I feel like there doesn't need to be a JJK-level of fandom for it to get a second season. If there's that fandom, good for it I guess, if not it doesn't really matter to me.

It's just too weird imo. I thought Chainsaw man would be super popular in the US, and while it is still popular, I know a lot of people didn't like it because it was "weird". Dandadan is off the rails from the get go so I can see a lot of people not liking it for those reasons.

we should not compared this to the demon slayer or jjk because to gain that popularity you have to show some things that is new to people may be this anime can do may be not able we don't know now. so just wait and enjoy the anime not comparing them.

I love this series, but the first chapter of the manga almost made me drop it. The over the top sexualization of Momo and subsequent threat of sexual assault, and Okarun getting his dick and balls stolen by Turbo Granny, will be enough to prevent a lot of folks from checking it out. The anime dialed it up even further, and watching that first episode felt like a band aid I needed to rip off.

I've wanted to recommend it to people, but I always have to preface it by saying that they've gotta stomach that before they can get to the good parts. In my experience that makes it a non-starter, especially for the women in my life, like my wife or friends.

All that said, I really do love the series and hope it gets popular so I have more people to talk about it with, lol. If it wasn't for those elements in the first episode and the bikini armor girl from the most recent chapters, this would basically be a flawless series. I love how insane it is. It's such a good blend of genres and has amazing character development throughout too. I'm looking forward to seeing how this studio brings the manga to life.

@Haelent Bah. Life includes sexuality, abuse and crude jokes. I love the fact that the anime doubled down on this rather than homogenized it. If art isn't making you feel uncomfortable from time to time, you're doing it wrong.

Possible, but if I had to bet my left testicle I would say no xD idk it seems it will be on the level of popularity of something like Solo Leveling or Kaiju no 8, no more, maybe if this anime had its Gojo, I would see a greater chance for something more.

I don’t think so. It will be popular among otakus. But I don’t think it will be capable of reaching audience outside from that. Unlike Demon Slayer, people from any audience liked it.

it could, but I don't think it will. it has the same chaos as csm, and casual fans don't normally like that type of fighting. It's all about the powers and the calculated fights people really grasp on to.

I love DanDaDan I just don't think it will get the same attention as Normal or more basic shonen. It's more character driven aswell, casual fans don't tend to enjoy those as much.
