Since this story seems to make subverting tropes its bread and butter, I'm curious how it's going to go about subverting what looks like a "love triangle" between Aira, Okarun and Momo. Somehow I don't expect it to play out like those situations usually do in anime, even with the classic "not actually kissing" misunderstanding.

I see everyone mentioning that the animation dropped in this ep, but that's not really fair. It just went back to the baseline after being cranked up to 11 the last two eps. It wasn't sub-par by any means. The scene with the ripples was so tense and well executed. The water laser thing was cool as hell too.

I'm stoked to see Aira bust out those Acro Silky powers and I can't wait to see how things play out when Momo meets back up with Okarun and Aira.

I'll never be a fan of the "I saw you doing something weird and absolutely will not allow you to explain any part of it" trope. Thankfully its basically just an excuse to have the group split up for the start of the next alien fight but god I hate idiot plots in general and doubly so when they're so explicit.

Overall this was a good episode. The Serpoians remain near the top of the list of fucked up weirdo monsters in normal anime. They feel like something Togashi would trot out from the Dark Continent.

@TheTitanESP So basically the dude/artist that created the image (twitter handle:@PhillipBankss) captioned the dog as "he's just a chill guy" and apparently people just started going nuts captioning their chill related quotes on it mainly because "chill" perfectly describes the demeanour of the dog.
@Kamquat420 I see hahaha, thanks

god damn Aira awakening her powers was so good, getting mad crush on Okarun too and learning about confession from porn lmao. Rly sad for Momo misunderstanding the situation, hope they clear it out soon, was expecting some scene where he saves her from that alien and explains what happened that time, hopefully in next episode maybe.


Anyway another great episode, I knew there would be people complaining about something lol, they just can't enjoy stuff without nitpicking, you can't have massive budget insane animations for everything when it's not that needed, we already had few god tier episodes.

Don't really remember the details from the manga because it is so long ago that i read it, but was the Loch Ness type Alien always such a reference to Shin Godzilla? :D
The head, neck, how it glows before firing its laser, everything was on point Shin Godzilla. Loved it
Only thing missing was the purple color to the laser beam.

Hopefully animators had a good rest on this episode. Mostly dialogues and exposition... well previous 7 episodes were 10/10 so I'll let it slide, I just hope it's not the level of quality for the rest of the episodes

I love this show so much, I picked up the manga. I'm just a tad ahead of this episode but I was wondering how they were going to adapt her "spin" after her transformation. Anywho, another funny episode, more well built drama... loved it like the rest.

I kind of hate the "not actually kissing/misunderstanding a situation" trope, so I hope they clear that up soon. I get why they'd use it, it's just kind of annoying to see. Still a good episode, it's not a series-ruining or even episode-ruining plot device.

It's so tough when you finish an episode that's setting up the next scenario without being able to watch the next ep straight away. That's what I get for being used to watching already completed series.

The alien singing ABBA lolll One thing I didn't expect at all was for Aira to transform too, so that was AWESOMEEEEE and I'm glad there was some sort of connection/call back to the previous episode, I was disappointed we moved on without acknowledging what had happened

Why didn’t he just tell her he wanted to work out to get stronger? There is no reason to sunrise her or be embarrassed about.

[begin rant] I swear, most of the drama in anime is caused by people that do not know how to communicate, by people who refuse to communicate, or people that think they have to do everything on their own so they hide everything until it blows up in their face. Also people, in the same anime, that forget what happened the last time someone did not communicate, but they do it all over again. It gets frustrating as an audience to know exactly what the problem is, but never have an anime have the characters communicate, and let other things cause problems for them. [end rant]

Now there is another miscommunication between them, ugh we were passed this last time, annoying that writing is trying to force drama into their relationship. And don’t they remember that they needed to communicate better to understand what each other is thinking? She should have confronted him then about she saw it walk away and not hear him out. This lack of communication is so lousy for the characters.

On a Good Note, they have another person with powers to help fight.
@ejleon If you're right, communication between two people is important, but I don't want to give you spoilers and this is already resolved in the manga (the lack of communication and those of this plot) and yes, I also saw a comment where you said that from a young age, parents They teach us how to communicate but remember that in the same plot MOMO does not have daddies and he stopped talking to his grandmother also okarun ps his parents are very absent and in the manga we still don't know have shown and that also seems strange to me xd

Half comedy, half horror, full greatness!

The first part of the episode was amazing, I enjoyed watching the gang come together after the emotionally taxing seventh episode. I wasn't necessarily expecting that, so seeing Aira eating with everyone was cool! Her exchanges with Momo and Okarun were funny, I liked the subtitles. The whole falling in love with Okarun plot took me completely by surprise, I'm interested to see where it goes.

The action part of the episode was great and looked breathtaking! The scene with the Nessie type creature was gorgeously directed and animated! Also, I was not expecting Aira to have her very own spirit/transformation power (although I did expect that she would be able to do something).

That’s really pertinent and interesting information, thank you very much! And thank you for not giving spoilers either.

Hope you have a good day
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Well I mean it ended with a proper cliffhanger and gave us the funny rom com bits of usual shounen manga. Also love the dinosaur sequence, was it a reference to loch ness monster? Idk but it looked cool. Not to mention all the transformations so far have been badass, so looking forward to the next ep I suppose.

Not as good as the previous episode (it'd be hard to make two such great episodes in a row), but it was still a good one.

Noodle slurping scene was funny.

Aliens are back and they are interested in researching Okarun's reproductive organ. Those dudes really can't just let Okarun and his friends alone.

Aira was annoying for the most of the time and her sudden affection towards Okarun, with all that falling in love crap, felt weird, given how she had acted before. But her transformation looked really cool, so whatever. :P

Ha, I forgot Nessie was Godzilla. Didn't realise the reference goes even deeper, with Jirahs from Ultraman, made from a modified Godzilla suit, being the Loch Ness monster.

Aira's transformation is so fucking cool, it left my mouth hanging. But i can't with the cringe, i watched her scene with okarun on 2x i knew girl was about to pull some shit. Hoping to see some much needed character development πŸ™

Dandadan is one hell of a show maybe its because i am new to anime as a whole but the fact that it can get away with so much is crazy
