Man, Oh! Man. I had ride through this episode. The starting opening shots itself gave a vibe that this episode has serious side to it. Then we transported back ourself to Okarun and Momo's antics as usual and their busting acts.

Then the connection point ramped up high with eye filling emotions and gave such a peak emotional note of ending.

Acro Silky. You faced unfortunate life situations with hard heart. You did your deeds, you did good. Your emotions were pure. BYE!

10/10 Episode

Wonderful Anime so far.
breath of fresh air.

I'm over here falling asleep to Rezero yap fest once again just like I did season 2 and I heard about this anime from Kojima
and it's so good.

in all my years of watching anime
is that Prostitution and motherly stuff
always end in death and sadness.
I think Anime/Manga story tellers have been trying to say something for years.

@ExpandCheese Judging by his anime list and favourites you can already tell he is a hentai addict. Came here for some ecchi comidy but end up getting a tragic story about a mom and her daughter. That's why he might be disappointed, Guys like this appreciate this kind of story only in case of NTR Hentai.
@ZXEAN You don't become an Earth-bound spirit or demon when you die because you are in a happy place. That should be kind of obvious to anyone who has read or listened to any NON-Anime' ghost stories.

"Watch Dandadan" they said.
"It's a wacky shonen/rom-com with sci-fi and spirits and stuff" they said.

Episode 7 and I'm balling my eyes out.
They did not warn me of all the feels.

Goos adaptation but the anime dont make clear if she kill yourself or wasjust dancing
@MonKeY003 They deliberately censored it I think. In the manga it's pretty clear that she loses her reason to live, goes to top of a building and jumps to her death.

Dude I knew something bad was coming, but that was somehow worse than I imagined :'(

The ED is the only thing that can cheer me up after that LOL time to go watch cat videos too

Also it looks like Aira might try to kiss Okarun next episode. Can't wait to see how Momo reacts. Please let the next episode just be some more stupid silly stuff. I need it rn

I need to watch something stupid and silly rn lol I actually might start cry if I don't I came pretty close to shedding tears :(

This are the episodes that i love and i hate at same time...

Love because their are so beautiful but hate because my heart & mind are so kind & fragile and make me over think about things i dont need to, that just hurt me, make me sad or something else...

10/5. Not ashame of crying with this episode.

PS: Now i need to know what happened to the child.

It's pretty much a lesson in how to make a dramatic, touching mini-story with the lowest amount of necessary effort to have an impact, basically 20% effort for 80% result. But after watching it, if you think about it for a moment, the flashback seems to be hard to believe.

The anime's story takes place in modern times, so that woman's backstory is most likely set in the 2010s, in a country among the top 10 with the lowest crime rates in the world. It's not Afghanistan or some African country, such crimes don't simply happen in Japan and stay forgotten, moreover, there's no need for a typical Japanese woman to sell her body, especially a beautiful woman who can easily find a man willing to support her. In first world countries, the vast majority of hookers are there for easy money (it's way more reliable than OnlyFans), not because they are forced by circumstances. A single mom working any basic job in Japan would have enough money to support herself and one daughter. For this to be more realistic, we have to assume that her husband was some low level yakuza guy who was in big debt. If I were given the task to "improve" upon this flashback I'd add that the woman required a lot of money to cure her daughter from some disease, thus the debt, working as a hooker, etc. In the end, the emotional impact was kind of decreased by how my brain didn't feel like the premise was very believable with how it was told.

@MyOwnGod We don't know how exactly the woman become debt-ridden. It could be her spouse is a gambling addict who loaned from loan sharks, then commited suicide or run away and left the family to fend for themselves. Loan sharks loan at extremely high or illegal interest rates and associated with criminal organizations. They will literally use violence if you can't make payment on time, these things happen occasionally in Asia countries. Things like these have been the theme of countless local TV dramas.

Furthermore, when you are in debt and have a kid to feed, the last thing on your mind probably would be starting a new relationship. It is very likely the the relationship will end as soon as the man found out she is in debt with the Yakuza.

So the story isn't as unbelievable as you might think.
