Manga 'Dandadan' Gets TV Anime by Science SARU in 2024

I love Dandadan but I hate Science saru.

@ZXEAN anime always simplify the artstyle or character design to be animation friendly

plus the colors are great

@deg Let me correct myself "Over simplified".

No the colour looks dull.

Why is this allowed on MAL and not Scott Pilgrim Takes Off?

@ZXEAN why do you hate science SARU?

@Old_School_Akira Not a big fan of Science saru's art style.

@Old_School_Akira It's created by professional staff in Japan for the Japanese market. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=141101

japanese market first according to the rules

@ZXEAN oversimplified? not at all onda is known for complex character designs like in gundam hathaway and psycho pass

what the colors are vibrant here

@deg then why is blade runner here? It’s not for the Japanese market.

@Infernalization Haven't you seen the PV. They simplified the artstyle as usual and the colour is bit off.

@ZXEAN It's a 44 second preanimated PV. The trailers which actually represent the anime will be shown somewhere later in 2024. I remember people being disappointed in Production I.G. when the 1st PV released in December and them being relieved with the trailer which dropped in August.

@RobertBobert Mm, that seems to just come down to preference. I can't say too much because I'm not super interested in the anime so I apologize for being a brick wall here haha. It's sad when what you expect doesn't match the director's vision, it could be worse anime adaptations could be like Hollywood adaptations lol. I was really scared when I first saw the Dororo announcement because at the time I thought of MAPPA as yaoi studio. Not to say that's totally comparable, I just mean to say that it's a valid concern to worry about the staff, studio, creative vision, and such. You're right that SARU doesn't tend to stay on model all the time, or in some shows cases most of the time.

Since it’s Science Saru, this most likely be a 12 episodes series and probably won’t get a season 2. It’s their first manga adaptation(i think) so who knows.

@Park_Pierce Eizouken was actually a manga adaptation as well!

@Park_Pierce Devilman was also a manga, by the cult mangaka Go Nagai. Although, as is usually the case with his works, the anime was its own interpretation of story.

@RobertBobert You right, gonna delete myself off the planet now.

I never thought I would be hype for the Dandadan anime because I dropped the manga after vol 2, but then I saw science Saru

Why are people hating on Science Saru? Haven't we had studios in the past proof that the studio isn't what matters, but the staff is?

@Infernalization why not? everything they do is awful

@justanormi so are you excited or not

@MichaelJackson People said the same thing about Doga Kobo before Oshi no Ko released. Also, Sience Saru has The Tatami Time Machine Blues, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Inu-Ou, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken, "The Night is Short, Walk on Girl" and Devilman: Crybaby in their portfolio. How is that bad?

@ZXEAN It just doesn't make sense because we're talking about a studio with a clear art style, and we have a list of names and a teaser that highlight that the anime, whatever it is, will follow the studio's style. This would only make less sense if we were talking about the KyoAni or Trigger show.

@RobertBobert in pv I thought they only changed colours a little bit, though they’re practically the same as on covers of manga. And night scenes (I’m talking about first building scene and Ayase’s kick scene). Body colours reminded me of monogatari movies artstyle, and they seem to stick to original artsyle of monsters and humans.

Person in charge of monster design designed mp100 characters and for character design it’s inuyashiki’s and shingeki no bahamut’s designer.

Person in charge of script also worked on CSM and JJK, we already know that they saved original story literally showing plot from every panel of manga.

Director worked on devilman and some episodes of shows of this studio before, but it’s seems to be their’s first time work in that position. Idk if it’s a good decision or not, but we’ll see.

Also by their art for this anime we can see all monsters from original manga and it’s in artstyle of original work, like literally looks like cover from original work.

Overall, I have a hopes, but we’ll see everything we need on trailer. Though, shueisha started to really advertise this manga, as I can see, they even sponsored gigguk. It’s somewhat very popular right now in japan, but by actions of shueisha with their manga plus app and everything else, they might start actively working towards western audiences imo, maybe they realised how big it is outside of japan and how much more money they can get, so I think they might (and probably will) do something if this anime will be trashed on the internet.

So if analysing by actions of shueisha towards this manga and stuff working on this project, it is REALLY promising. And they for sure will not let one of their top manga turn into trash because of mid adaptation. So even director might be talented young dude (hopefully without weird aesthetic ideas)

I was interested until i saw the love triangle/love polygon tag
