Well, it is more explicit than expected, but nothing bad. I liked the relationship between Momo and Ken both have solid personalities. That ghosts and aliens are fucked. The animation quality was awesome, the action scenes were great.

Awesome first episode, hoping they do hook up at the end.

Behold of my awesomeness~

@deg I am well aware but that doesnt excuse anything. It does not mean you're supposed to join. A kid is still a kid. That's a disappointing response.

@honyax im sexualizing anime characters for decades now but im no rapist in real life just like how many violent video games and anime does not make fans automatically become violent too same for japan the crime rate is low there despite the sex culture they have

ALMOST... I rlly mean ALMOST dropped at the part where the girl was about to get her parts removed by the aliens

Thankfully she didn't but otaku-kun lost his by freaky turbo granny 😭

The ep was a bit weird but I guess thats what the vibe of the anime is: some action with a lil bit of weirdness

I guess i'll give it a 4/5 bc that scene i was talking about was just a bit too much for me when i played this in the family tv on a saturday morning

That was fun! Crazy animation, cool art, an interesting concept that mixes well-known tropes with fresh elements, and dynamic storytelling. It was a really entertaining first episode. And well, it was just the first episode. I wonder what more awaits in the next ones. I guess we will meet more characters than just Momo and Occult-kun. Both of them were okay, by the way. They can have different personalities but gave similar vibes of slight craziness, lol.

Some friends of mine recommended me checking out Dandadan anime, and I'm glad I gave it a try. I didn't know what to expect, aside from an action series with crazy stuff happening in it, so aside from my friends' non-spoiler recommendations, it's safe to say I approached this anime almost blindfold, haha. I will definitely continue watching. :)

Occult-kun mentioning that he's Ken Takakura at the end, just before the UFO exploded, was thee cherry on top. Epic name drop, perfect way to conclude an episode. :D

Also, both themes (opening and ending) were epic. Artsy visuals and catchy music. I liked them.

It was a dope introduction to an already intriguing and charming anime. Creepy Nuts of course delivered as well as the memes. The cross examination between the aliens and spirits was interesting too, a detail most will overlook. Overall 4.5/5 :)

Well that was certainly an eventful first episode. Seems to be one of those shows which are better if you just turn your brain off and don't expect realistic characters or a consistent plot. Might still be fun though.

Starting the episode with a small debate between someone who believes in the existence of living beings out there (such as aliens) and someone who believes in the existence of supernatural beings (such as ghosts). To prove their respective beliefs, they challenge each other to go to places that are considered haunted or places that are considered inhabited by aliens.

Momo Ayase believes in ghosts, so she goes to a place that is considered the "headquarter" of aliens. Meanwhile, Ken Takakura believes in aliens, so he goes to a "haunted" place. When visiting these places, each of them felt afraid even though it was not in accordance with what they believed. However, this fear needs to be overcome in order to prove their beliefs.

In two different places, they both encountered creatures that did not match their beliefs. First, Ken meets a mysterious figure that is quite scary, often referred to as Turbo Ghost, while Momo meets a group of aliens who call themselves Serpoian.

Of course, after seeing such a terrifying figure, Ken ran, but the result was that he was hit by the Turbo Ghost curse. After meeting a group of aliens, Momo was about to be raped by the aliens.

Suddenly, right before Momo was poked, her cellphone rang and Ken's figure emerged from the cellphone in the form of a Turbo Ghost curse. Ken, who was there, helped save Momo by fighting the aliens. Ken succeeded in overthrowing some of the Serpoians, but Ken was unable to finish the last one. Well, what was quite surprising was that Momo suddenly awakened her psychic powers.

Anyways, at the end we were shown that the name of the boy who was often bullied was Ken Takakura. You know what? His name is exactly the same as the idol, Momo's favorite, who is also named Ken Takakura.

Overall, this is an excellent opening episode. It has a banger soundtrack, interesting characters, a cool art style, and is well-paste, but yes it was a bit uncomfortable.

....HOW I ENDED UP WATCHING A 2024 ANIME?? IT'S VERY WEIRD FOR ME BUT I HAD TO WATCH DANDADAN BROS, IT LOOKS LIKE THE TYPE OF SHIT I LOVE IN ALL OF JAPANESE MEDIA SO I WAS THINKING " WHY DON'T YA SEE IT?" BECAUSE I'M VERY LAZY FOR WATCHING NEW ANIME BECUASE THE STORY ISN'T ENDED, AND IT GATEKEEPS ME THAT THE ANIME I WATCH DON'T HAVE A FINAL YET. BUT NOW, PEOPLE, ALL OF YOU MINA, I'M PART OF THIS HYPE WAVE, AND I CAN CONFIRM, NO... I DON'T HESITATE IN SAYING THAT WATCHING DANDADAN WAS ONE OF THE BEST DECISION I MADE IN THE ENTIRE YEAR. THANK YOU, SOCIAL PRESSURE!!!
