The background of the story is set in Japan in the 1970s and 1980s. After that time, due to the economic collapse in Japan, a large number of people faced layoffs and bankruptcy. At that time, many people did not realize how bad the economic situation was and chose to borrow loan sharks from the underworld in order to start over. But later they found that not only could they not start over, they could not even repay the loan sharks, so they had to use various methods to make money. This led to the tragedy in the film that the underworld violently collects debts and even abducts children.
I knew that seeing this part of the manga animated was gonna be good, but they really knocked it out of the park. I remember reading these chapters and realizing: "Oh, this isn't just a funny cute story with some drama here and there, this is going to have some very well done tragic and heartfelt moments too." It also made me understand just how much Empathy seems to be a core pillar of this story.
I was reading the manga for the wholesome romance and weird but funny paranormal sheananingans, I wasn't ready to be emotionally destroyed by chapters 16 and 17, they adapted them beautifully
@@alastorcorvusspoiler alert for non reader: Vamola backstory absolutely decimated me when I read it, the mother just breaking down when she sent her was 😢
This hits really hard for me as I two young kids that is practically my whole world, and I brace through whatever difficulty in life without complain because of them. Many single parents go through this same situation as what this episode shows so this is very realistic struggle of the working class.
Aira is not the little girl that Silky lost. The little girl was kidnapped by gangsters. Aira's mother had pink hair like her, they showed her at the funeral. Silky was just confused because as a spirit she couldn't remember the details of her life, child Aira reminded her of part of it (that she had a daughter) but she mistakenly fixated on Aira, a different little girl who had lost her mother.
Not to mention ghost/spirit that didn’t pass over,carried the exact immediate conditions before their death. That concussion definitely brought memory loss.
This is my nth time watching this episode and I'm still shedding tears from every viewing..."Mommy, thank you for all you do." That line breaks me so bad every time for some reason.
After science saru delivered an episode like this, we realized that Dandadan is not just fighting, comedy, romance, slice of life and supernatural. Dandadan has just become something special in the world of anime (and from what little I know about the Manga, there will be a lot more of what we saw today). Science Saru, please don't make Dandadan just another one or two season anime. It's an anime that deserves much more and will win over even more fans. Please do not cancel or leave the anime unfinished. Continue for many years. 🙏 To those who read this comment, recommend this work to your friends. I don't want it to be just a Peak for a year or two. dandadan won my heart
I think the only anime episodes that had me SOBBING have been Ennies lobby ( Robin's backstory and the Merry's death), Cora-san and Law's backstory, Otoko and Yasui, Kuma's backstory and now this.
The animators of this series really outdid themselves with this episode. The pink-haired girl's backstory was absolutely tragic, but this episode was still the best one of the series.
@watchdogman2777 maybe bc the anime made in a little vague about the suicide scence and the chasing scene. I think many will presume that she died on that street and the ballet was just after she's dead.
@@pabloesco2007same i like anime version better because it invokes something rather than manga version showed and imagine something. Same conclusion though. On other hand manga had better background explanation of why the daughter was being kidnapped.
It really broke me when i watched it 😭😢 and made me miss my mom so much I loved how they showed the bond between mother and daughter through purely with emotions and without any dialogue😢😢

I read the manga but i'll never though this anime's version was so awesome made (Animations & music). It's really a plus to the Manga, i re-discover this moment. More infos about this poor woman, she worked in so many jobs even prostitution then when she lost her child, she made a last dance a jump from a building/balcony. Aira and the Yokai share a same pain, the lost of their loved one Mother/daughter and they share at the end this pain and this forgiveness/appeasement. Good job to staff who made this episode.
Loved how the episode was done. This was what completely sold me on the manga back when it started and made it one of my top 5 mangas of all time (and it gets even better somehow). I'd recommend checking out how it was done in the manga too since it's a little different but both hit hard in different ways!
Thanks a lot for your great reaction😊....this ep insane😭😭😭...some female animators created it, 'Kana Ito' also producted JJK 41ep(Sukuna vs Mahoraga?)...it is awsome ! Definitely so heavily sad story, a single woman multi-work (even sexual work ? her lonely bed scene...) for her child😱...this ep be exceed than manga, in my opinion...😳 i hoping next.
La yakuza la volvio prostitutA para QUE pague sus deudas cuand no pudO pagar le quitaron a su hija lo mas probable es QUE pasara como denji QUE hereda las deudas en el ultimo panel diceQUEk se reencontraron en el cielo y esa yokai no es la madre de aira PORQUE tiene pelo negro y aira de niña tiene pelo rosado y en funeral se ve k su madre tbm tiene pelo rosado la ypkai se obsesiona con aira xk ella la vio de niña cuand aun era un fantasma normal
@@camieutsushimi9998not at all. The dub is fantastic. Its own entity, I love both. But in this case, the dub hit me harder. It’s a personal choice thing. Neither are bad.

子供を持つ父親です。全ての親に見て欲しい。私は泣きました。比喩表現ではありません。アニメを見て泣きました。美しく、悲しく、温かい。そういうエピソードです。

Those weren’t stars; they were city lights. She went on a roof and danced off the ledge and killed herself

With what is in the manga, if Science Saru continues with this quality Dandadan will have a case for one of the best anime adaptation
Idk if it's just me but the way Yukinobu Tatsu cooks unexpected gourmet level backstory reminds me so much of Oda's and I love it.
I think the only anime episodes that had me SOBBING have been Ennies lobby ( Robin's backstory and the Merry's death), Cora-san and Law's backstory, Otoko and Yasui, Kuma's backstory and now this.

Don't you mean Acrobatic Silky's? The pink haired girl (Aira) did lose her mom as a child, but it wasn't the main tragedy of the story.
It's a little different in the manga but God it still hits just as hard
Yh idk why but the manga hit harder

@@ryannguyen8383 yea sadly I've watched a ton of reactions now and they all pretty much didn't realize she was on a roof
@@watchdogman2777 Not for me, the animations, the music and the way they show the backstory were really a plus in compare to the Manga.
@@pabloesco2007same i like anime version better because it invokes something rather than manga version showed and imagine something. Same conclusion though. On other hand manga had better background explanation of why the daughter was being kidnapped.
this anime went from funny wholesome and love it to why heart HURTS like damn wow this really just hit hard my heart
That episode fucked me up man. I lost my mom in 2015 so it grabbed my heart and dragged me down.
Ah, it looks like it's beginnig to rain...
This episode hit me like a truck 😭
Best episode so far ❤
sending my love for all hard working mother out there ❤❤❤, you are incredible!
Iron giant levels of tears. The manga made me cry. The anime made me sob.
We.. the humans... are the real horror. Not a ghost or an aliens.
This was a masterpiece of an episode
It really broke me when i watched it 😭😢 and made me miss my mom so much
I loved how they showed the bond between mother and daughter through purely with emotions and without any dialogue😢😢

@puremachinery Yeah yeah I forgot about that
Yes… I just want to hug my mom one more time. 🤧
Oh Kris… that thumbnail had me again. And I finally just recovered from the episode. Okay, here we go…
I think it's "Eye-Rah" for Aira. At least, that's how I'm hearing it.

This is one of the rare instances where an episode is better than the manga chapters
Japan is real for this type of things happening
Damn those ninjas cutting onions 😭
