* surprise * triggered boy, i'm not a hater.

but come on, if in your POV Dandandan is just 1% irritating, in YHO, will it be 0.5 later? In S2? (to manga readers)

The animation/action is great, but the supporting characters with pink hair, wtf.

The stupid braindead pink haired girl, will she keep stuck in the joke/trope of misunderstanding? Momo and Okarun, no matter the annoying side of their characters, they quickly ADAPT to all the madness they have to face. But that girl seems to be a lost cause.

And now the pink haired boy, lol, totally unnecessary. Was like the author raising a middle finger to the audience.

Without these two the show would be way more satisfying

I'm anime only, I don't have any issues with Momo and her Grandma, they are cool, the MC and the pink-haired girl are acceptable I guess, but her schtick of misunderstanding everything is getting a bit old now, I wasn't too happy with the love triangle misunderstanding either, it's an old troupe and I hope they don't abuse it any further, and about the new guy, well, I hope I'm wrong about this but I will probably hate that guy because he's kinda like Zenitsu and I hate Zenitsu.

I detest those over-the-top, annoying one-dimensional characters that abuse their same old schtick because that's what they do, their whole personality revolves around their stupid schtick, but since the new guy got introduced I will let it slide this time, I just hope they don't start abusing that dumb, over-the-top lame schtick of his because I will get annoyed really fast and I will probably be the first one shitting on that character the same way I shit on Zenitsu, I hope he's better than this so for now, I'm skeptical about the new guy.

Other than my above criticism, I believe this anime is awesome and I have it rated a 10/10, this anime is pretty damn good, but as I said, if the new guy starts annoying me the same way Zenitsu does, then I will remove a couple of points from this anime because an annoying character can, in fact, ruin an anime for me.

This anime is so good I couldn’t help but binge the manga. Trust me, the annoying parts won’t last long, but they also won’t completely disappear. (The parts you don’t like take a backseat going forward). Season 2 will change your mind a little, so Jiji slander is fair—for now. However! Aira (pink hair girl) slander will be tolerated! She may not lose the part that make her annoying but you’ll thank her for it in the Kur/Deadly Dudes arc.

as manga reader i really cant say, since my opinion is completely opposite, since i find it funny not annoying and i find the supporting characters likeable. The only thing i can say is that they are side characters and dont appear in every arc. The shows comedic aspect will always be present, the goofyness as well, sure it gets a more dramatic as you would expect but the essence of the series will always be there, if you find it very annoying i dont see why continue with it, but is your choice at the end.

if you really think Aira and Jiji are surface level characters with only gag/tropes about them, you are seriously overlooking them.

Aira may have that "I'm the chosen one because I'm so cute" schtick, but we've seen just how compassionate and caring she can be. she is a character with layers, and she clearly has some unresolved trauma that's keeping her from fully dropping the act. she's already changing as a person, though she clings onto things like her cutesy chosen one act for safety.

Jiji was first introduced in a serious, almost threatening manner. he clearly cares about Momo and has even apologized sincerely for everything that he had done to her. the maturity and vulnerability he has shown in private aludes to the fact that he is also more than what's on the surface. also, his whole persona is that of charao, which is why he talks the way he does. I personally love the fact that so many Japanese references are stuffed into this anime/manga.

I'm anime only, btw.

Aira is a chuuni bro lol she’s not misunderstanding anything her character is like that are we even watching the same show? And idk how anyone can remotely find JIJI annoying unless you have an ick for quirky characters but I’ll just let you know that he’s more than what he lets on at a surface level so better judge him after the final episode or in s2 cuz that’s where his character truly shines

I'll just hop in this thread to say that Dan³ is not an accurate representation of the title, since n appears only two times instead of three.
You should try with (Da)³n², or D³a³n² (necessary, since now we're considering the letters as singular entities), but at this point maybe the title itself is the best.

hmm from what I've heard, it follows the Same flow, mellows down a bit during the serious parts.
if I'm being honest, Dandadan is like most Shonen works. the granny and the vulgarity are the only "fresh" things which I enjoyed actually but the rest, mono being loud and all over the place, Ken being well..Ken, and pink hair being any pink hair aide chick in a Shonen.
I love the supernatural elements and the backstory of each demon, anime wise the animation and music is great! but as a story I'll say it's something I wouldn't miss...I watched this solely for thr animation actually and Otonoke got me hooked.
I think I'll skip season 2 ir watch it when I've nothing else to watch.

All 3 supporting characters are sadly very poorly characterized. It's a shame because Momo and Ken are balanced and well written with realistic personalities. Aira, Jiji, and Seiko are just a mix of annoying unrealistic anime tropes without real personalities. If this is the model for supporting characters going forward it will weigh down the story.

Pretty much my thoughts. I'm having a lot of fun with this show, but it feels like they're on thin ice, where one misstep and one too many repeated jokes might tank my enjoyment any second now. I was surprised by how bored and kind of annoyed I was by Episode 11.

Maybe if an anime hooks people quickly on insane chaos and ridiculous(ly fun) characters, it's only natural it will lose people just as quickly the second it trips up. I hope I'm wrong, though, or hope at least Dandadan doesn't go down this route.

I still have mixed thoughts on Jiji, since his personality is so noisy, but largely he is more of the stupidly fun than the annoying type so far to me. I do not find anybody annoying even if I see how they could be to same people, Aira at worst is just harmless fun and at best is genuinely endearing with her antics, not to mention that she has some promising traits or character development that may or may not be tackled, I'll see. Momo and Okarun are still the main reason I watch the show, but even if the other characters did not get as good as them, they are still providing fun dynamics to the show and overall making it a great weekly ride.

This has been a great season so far. I'm surprised it's not rated higher. Manga readers are saying that it only gets better and if that's true then we are in for something special. Jiji is still cringe though. Probably one of the most annoying character i have ever seen in my opinion.

Try it out.



That would also mean that you don't get to bitch about it online, anymore, tho...
So I think we both know that means that you'll just continue beeing annoyed, cause the attention is just too tempting, even if that entails having a bad time, each week as soon as Season 2 comes along :P

You do you.

Just watched episode 11 and I couldn't agree more, Aira's misunderstanding always felt forced, at first I thought she was pretending in order to hide her true feelings but the show made it clear that she really is misunderstanding things in the stupidest way possible, and now we have this idiot added in, I can tolerate a character like Jiji if the point was that he'd evolve into a better person, but this is clearly just a trope to keep the show's routine going and it'll never go away, it's even more annoying that he can just switch between being obnoxious to speaking normally, which means he's only putting up an act.
These characters will probably have their moments, but I've learned from watching a lot of anime that once the routine is set, it's never changing.

WTF? Aira's misunderstandings and her chuuni/saviour complex are at least somewhat funny. And Jiji's antics, yea, too forced, but the goofball thing still kinda works.

As you were mentioning the action as being a good thing - if by "getting less annoying" you mean whether it'll crank up the by-the-book follow-formula-to-a-t shounen cringe, then yes, it will do that, A LOT. After a while it's basically all it does. Some apparition/character appears, fighting fighting fighting, tragic backstory, fighting fighting fighting, making world rules up as they go, villains explaining shit for no reason, former enemies go nakama ... all of that, all the time, not much else.
