| Looking at the last two episodes, I disagree. I couldn't have predicted the crazy stuff that was happening and neither could you^^ What do you expect from an Anime? To Cover the whole spectrum of entertainment, in 12 Episodes? There are things it's good at. There are things it focuses on. And that's fine :) You didn't feel sad about the sex-worker story. Well. That's too bad. Doesn't mean it wasn't pretty unique, tho. There's a difference between you beeing underwhelmed and the story beeing generic, you know^^ |

Sandro8604 said: Started watching anime after a break of 1 year. Stumbled upon this. Thought would be cool. But again that generic under confident otaku Male Character & popular bully type Female Characters. And then Sex jokes, whacky plot that are becoming repetitive & tiresome fast. But still loved the animation, character designs & sound design so kept watching. Recent netflix episode was again that classic shounen villain with a short and sad backstory of a sex worker. Didn't feel anything sad about it but it's me Ig. Know that can always choose not to watch it but genuinely interested in knowing how many ppl feel the same as me. Animation & Fight Scenes are Top Tier though. Judging before more arcs can be adapted is just nonsensical. The flow of the manga changes all the time, and for what it’s worth, I think what we have now in the anime is already doing well with not being generic. This is actually the first sad backstory we’ve gotten and we’re halfway through the season, so I’m not sure what you mean by predictable as if this has happened previously already. To add, I feel like the bizarre nature of the premise for the anime would make it the opposite of what you’re saying. If you think this is generic, I shudder to think of what you think about the isekai genre. |
| Calling Dandadan predictable is insane. |
| Stories in general feel repetitive when you've seen and read enough. It's never always about the story. The sex worker mother tragedy isn't something new, but the camera work, soundtrack and overall direction of the backstory was immaculate. Appreciating those elements isn't everyone's cup of tea, but that's the answer to your issue. The film medium in general has a history of over a hundred years. No story is ever fully original in our time. Yet, filmmakers find ways to present the product in unique ways that moves the audience. That's what the episode did for me, personally. |
| Dandadan is anything but predictable calling it predictable is crazy to say, sure the characters back stories are going to be predictable because everything has been done to show characters in a tragic way and emotional way in tv shows and movies. But the story is anything but predictable |

Calling Dandadan predictable is insane.
| @ZXEAN but it isn't? I've seen so many comments about how crazy the anime is, and maybe the manga is crazy, but for now there's nothing in the anime that isn't in other series. Apart from the attempted rape in the first episode, the rest follows typical leads. Mc has superpowers, they fight monsters, someone has a sad backstory, there are sexual jokes, etc. You could even guess this yokai's past when she started freaking out about a kid and then we saw the money on the table. Such motifs almost always end the same way. The execution was good, but it was rather predictable. |

| @Jollyne7 Jollyne7 said: That's was way to obvious. That the yokai have sad past that why she is acting that way. They hinted it multiple times. You could even guess this yokai's past when she started freaking out about a kid and then we saw the money on the table But can you guess how this story will end or what's gonna happen in next arc ? In that sence It's kinda unpredictable. Dandadan doesn't follow your regular shounen formula where the MC want to defend the ultimate bad guy or become the strongest just like Chainsaw man. |
| It's much less generic and predictable than most other anime. |
| Really? That's so cool for you, man. Nice |
 |
| err its too early for you to call it that but as a manga reader it has a repetitive formula no doubt |
| Predictable? Generic? Well it does have a formula that it follows but even anime like One piece does too that doesn't mean it's bad. And low on confident male character is not that often these days if you look at famous shonen anime rn. Did you expect some True Detective typa shit from a shonen anime which hasn't even aired completely? So honestly do us all a favor drop this anime rn. |

| Funny enough i didn't feel sad whenever demons from kimetsu gets a flashback. Yet, when it comes to dandadan i felt sad. I can't quite explain it. But the spirits in dandadan comes from a place of lingering regret. And it captures the feeling of powerlessness quite well in this episode. Clinging onto something precious and not letting go of it. A recurring theme in dandadan that i quite liked. Idk man if you feel it's generic or predictable there are only two explanations : 1) You binged too much anime at once 2) You set your expectations on the wrong thing. Now if you liked the fight scene i think you should stay on this anime. Because i doubt it will ever run short of it. |

| Thread is proof that it's so easy to rattle the shonen crowd |
| Dandadan is the least predictable Anime from the season. I think being popular is the most likely reason its disliked. |

| I know this is a troll post, trying to provoke people, but this time I’ll take the bait, I have been enjoying this anime Perfect example of anime bias due to “surface level similarities syndrome”, which automatically shuts off your brain from thinking and prevents you from seeing anything else unique to the anime. - Eisegesis (what you are doing), reads into the text what the interpreter wishes to find or thinks he finds there. It expresses the reader's own subjective ideas, not the meaning which is in the text. - Exegesis (what you are not doing) is legitimate interpretation which ‘reads out of' the text what the original author or authors meant to convey. All anime are influenced by each other, hence why they all use similar ideas for their stories, this is to be expected of anime in the anime business, so this claim is completely irrelevant. Yes, the character types are “similar” to other anime, but all anime use similar character types, so this claim is also completely irreverent. You are blind to how these character types are written and used in this anime, which is far better than how other anime wrote and used these same character types. The male MC is not an “otaku” and the female MC is not a “bully”, you are not following the story, you are just assuming and reading into the story, which is causing you to miss how the MC characters are complimenting one another and helping each other grow. If you can name one anime without any “innuendo jokes” at all, I would be completely surprised. Besides the jokes in Dandadan are not nearly as bad as other anime, the problem is that you are just being immaturely sensitive. If an anime is not a historical piece, serious drama, or horror, then the majority of the remaining anime usually all have a wacky plot, so again this claim is completely irreverent. Most anime are unrealistic, unrelatable, and purposely over the top, that is basically a staple of anime. Dandadan has not been “predictable” “repetitive” “tiresome” “boring”, the problem here again is you, because you are not even trying to follow the actual anime story or looking at the unique differences that make this anime enjoyable, while others are not. As I said above, you are reading into the story what you think is there, so this is causing you to miss the actual story that is being presented in the anime. With the recent episode, again you are the problem, due to your complete lack of empathy and being devoid of a heart. All you saw was a “shonen sex worker”, do you even have eyes, ears, or a brain? They showed a loving mother that was very poor, who was being forced to use her body to make money, that just wanted to support herself and her daughter, but was mistreated, beaten up, left for dead, and had her daughter stolen from her, by the corrupt greedy evil creatures controlling her life, dying with hate and anger in her heart, which caused her to become this being, but the only ounce of happiness after transforming, was when an innocent girl who was kind to her, whom she swore to protect. Then they show the pink haired female — who turns out to be the girl that was kind to this being, but is now a narcissistic dense teen — go from trying to exorcise the being, to fearing the being, to almost dying, then knowing that the being gave their own life to save her, finally realizing what was actually happening, remembering her own childhood memories, then seeing the mother’s own memories, so the pink haired female sympathizes with her situation and chooses to comfort the woman as she dies, lifting up a prayer so the woman’s soul could find peace. A person that watches these two last episodes and gives such an insanely cheap inhuman description, of what they saw, should seriously take a step back and reevaluate their own personal perspective on life and their own lack of humanity. |

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
