I saw the opening of this when it first leaked and knew it was something special. I wasn't hooked right away, but that episode closing (after dealing with Turbo Granny) where they say 'goodbye' hit me. Okarun pauses, and Ayase catches him with "See you tommorow!", and the screen fades to black before he says 'Okay!'. I melted into a puddle at that part. The very next episode solidified it for me -- the school episode where they eagerly search for each other because now they are 'bae'. And that music after the clink teeth scene is exactly what you are talking about, where the soundtrack just fits perfectly. This is the only anime were I never skip the opening, and frequently listen to it since it immediately puts you into a happy mood. Not a single criticism from me for Dandadan.
I'd like to say that I didn't see an anime that felt this special in a long time, but Frieren just happened. Besides Frieren though? It was a long while. I went through the entire manga in a few days (ended on the day when they released the final chapter before a 3 week hiatus, which always happens to me when I catch up to a manga!) and to avoid spoilers I'll just say - it's a beautiful story. Also, there's nothing compared to that ep 1 scene (though I still defend it, because it really feels like it's done right, has a purpose and it ends with Momo being empowered and saving herself with that great comeback to her kich from the first scene) and any horny/creepy stuff is minimal and mostly in the earlier chapters.
Yes! This is what conflicted me. It was an awful scene that made me so uncomfortable but it was also the catalyst for Momo’s power spike to save herself and to give Okarun the desperation to come save her. Sometimes it takes something truly awful, to see what we can really do. So, as weird as it was I felt that it contributed to the plot and character development and wasn’t just smutty fan service. I’m excited to continue Frieren, it’s been put to the side for now with catching up on One Piece and rewatching all the Ghibli movies hehe
Netflix and other streaming services buy the license. just like any other tv show or movie. and sometimes those licenses expire. that's way sometimes shows or movies leave netflix.
DanDaDan is nothing short of cinematic GOLD🤌. No wasted frames. All the controversy about sexism almost misses the point that the women in the show are actually very powerful yet complex characters. Episode 7 almost broke me at the end. I actually didn't expect it to end in such a heartwarming way. The haters gonna hate. We just gonna keep dancing
typically Netflix just buys for streaming rights of anime... but actually in DanDaDan case I do think they paid for production in some capacity. why it isnt Netflix exclusive is very curious. i love the character designs. id def still call anime cinematography 'cinematography'. just that the camera is more 'meta', but framing of shots still works regardless of a physical camera or not. the abduction scene was ... extreme. i didnt see it as explicitly fanservice cus it was so uncomfortable. but its definitely fair to dislike that aspect. honestly, the aspect of DanDaDan i love the most is with the character relationships & interactions... which isnt really in the first episode or arc. so it be a series that gets better & better. if your curious why theres a focus on genitals, the mangaka explained that he wanted a story hook. like a protagonist losing a hand is a common story hook... but he wanted to go freaky with it.... it definitely is a tone setter ill say.
Oh interesting! Lol yeah i recently read that the mangaka was with a shueisha editor and they were drinking and were like, "yo what if a ghost stole your balls". And thus, Dandadan was born lmao. I love that. I also read that he read like over 100 shojo romance manga to write romance better! I love that, I kinda wanna take on that challenge for myself.
Many so called "survivors" of alien abdcutions very often recalled being sexual assaulted / probed. And many ufologist claim extraterrestrials are interested in interbreeding with humans. So the whole bit of the aliens being creepy sex weirdos is entirely based on IRL ufo lore. DDD's core theme is love and how it relates to sex. Okarun has self esteem issues, he is also very submissive and "unmanly", hence he is constantly losing his manhood (literally). Momo wants to date but lacks maturity and understanding of the dangers males can pose, you can see that her ex bf was PoS that just wanted to take her verginity, and the male-coded aliens tried to rape her as soon as they met. And finally Aria, is obsessed with being a high quality girl and being the prettiest, she has a lot intenalized misogyny with how she spreads a fake rumor about Momo being a "slut" and tries to force herself on Okaru after consuming a ton of pornography and falsely concluding that all men want to have sex all the time.
The fanservice is weird as hell. I really hate that anime is still doing all of that, especially considering I don’t remember the manga being that weird with the abduction scene. I think the organ snatching thing was fine tho, it felt like it was added because it’s absurd- like “what would happen if you lost your balls?”

I had NO idea it was going to be the romedy I needed in my life! I can't stop listening to the soundtrack, it literally haunts me.

Love Dandadan ❤

Twizzlers are just too tough, and not good enough to justify the sugar!
thats how i feel about whipped cream, okay but what about red vines then?

There are people that hate twizzlers?
yea D:
Is the point of the alien scene at the begining to show how creepy the aliens are? And how they have no respect for people.
Yeah oddly enough, my opinion on these scenes in dandadan has changed the more i talk about it
typically Netflix just buys for streaming rights of anime... but actually in DanDaDan case I do think they paid for production in some capacity. why it isnt Netflix exclusive is very curious.

Damn, all those human conditions are so real. What a manga, its so good.

I think the organ snatching thing was fine tho, it felt like it was added because it’s absurd- like “what would happen if you lost your balls?”
The creator literally said “it would be funny to explore what it would be like to lose your balls”.
@ I’m literally him
Maybe cause I don't have balls, but now I'm starting to see the comedy in it XD
are you on some woke ish?
What does this mean?
