Synopsis

After being aggressively rejected, Momo Ayase finds herself sulking when she stumbles across a boy being bullied. Saved by her rash kindness, the alien-obsessed boy attempts to speak to her about extraterrestrial interests he believes they share. Rejecting his claims, Ayase proclaimed that she instead is a believer in ghosts, starting an argument between the two over which is real.

In a bet to determine who is correct, the two decide to separately visit locations associated with both the extraterrestrial and the supernatural—Ayase visiting the former and the boy visiting the latter. When the two reach their respective places, it turns out that neither was wrong and that both aliens and ghosts do exist.

This marks the beginning of Ayase and the boy's adventure, as they attempt to fix the surreal, supernatural, and extraterrestrial elements around them to return to a normal life.

Preliminary (3/12 eps)
Dandadan, dandadan, dandadan, dandadan, dandadan…

That’s exactly how Dandadan feels—an insane, high-energy roller coaster that doesn’t let up. Right from the start, it throws you into a whirlwind of occult themes, crazy battles, and hilarious moments. You’ve got aliens, ghosts, and, yes, testicles all mixed up in this absurd world, but somehow, it works. Unlike other shonen, Dandadan refuses to spoon-feed its story. There’s no hand-holding or simple explanations, and that’s a breath of fresh air.

The characters are at the heart of this madness. We meet Okarun, the nerdy believer in aliens, and Momo, the tough girl who’s all about ghosts. What begins as a bet ...

Dan Da Dan is currently in the public zeitgeist, though the hype is thoroughly unfounded. There really is something special here. It's hilarious, and the animation is just as beautiful as it is expressive. Unfortunately, that's about it. If that's what you're looking for, great! Have a blast watching the show, don't let anyone stop you. If you're looking for a real story, stay away. The ridiculous degree of tonal whiplash this series has given me from the start cannot be overstated. It feels as though it keeps jumping between funny and sad periodically between episodes, randomly dropping Okarun's backstory at a moment when ...

Social media wouldn't stop raving about this show so i thought ide watch it, and so far it has worse animation than blue lock season 2, annoying male MC with hyper annoying voice acting, the characters are 1 dimensional all round, and the plot is non-sensical. It doesn't even pass the "average" meter so far. Its just over hyped for no reason.

TLDR :
The story is non-sensical and non existent, things just "happen" Art style is SUPER low effort, The characters are not unique and pretty boring over all and their response to the situations is just unbelievable.

I wouldn't waste my time with this one.
