Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction (ONA) Episode 16 Discussion

@alpo42ab The Fable? I dropped it after a few episodes because it was boring. Does it get better?

@StateofOhayo For me The Fable is an amazing character study.

Being a fan of Sonny Chiba from the 60's through 2021 I'm all in for a slow burn Yakuza story.
It never really bored me and ramps up nicely. Akira and Yoko do the bickering brother/sister act well and they are both pros.
Yoko will give you a more insane female character then Revy from Black Lagoon
The most interesting villain I have seen yet in media would be Rei Utsubo as the former Yakuza to owner of a detective agency that extorts the rich.

It might not be your cup of Sake but I do think it delivers what it sets out to do.

This episode felt nostalgic, from the descending hand to the pillar of light. It felt like a scene from the world of Evangelion.

I'm just very confused as to what happened and why everyone did what they did. I didn't think Ouran had her memories from the previous timeline, did her brother? Don't get why he drove into the city. And really confused as to what the hand and bubbles were.

What a brilliant ep this was,this was not one of the but the best ep so far ... finally the day we all were waiting for has come but I felt so sad when oruans brother got killed don't know why


but the real shoker was the lip kiss between oruan and oton are they a thing in the manga help me guys wtf is happening 😗

I did not expect that explosion to be adapted this way, but it wasn't bad at all.

@Alkimia most likely no since Makoto wasn't going to Tokio, so he still has it.

The episode was pretty good, this anime went the LGBTQ route since the introduction of that trans/crossdresser guy and I'm not a fan of it, and now we have a lesbian kiss but that's ok, it's not the end of the world, this anime is still great even with the LGBTQ crap in it, I just wished it didn't have it.

Anyway, maybe I forgot but I'm still wondering, the mothership arrived a couple of years ago and stayed in the air for a long time, why didn't the aliens try to communicate with the humans? because eventually the humans had enough of it and started making weapons to get rid of the aliens, so why didn't the aliens try to communicate with the humans? or maybe they did and they were still getting killed by humans so they stopped doing it? at the beginning of the anime, in the news or something they said that they tried to communicate with the aliens but the aliens never responded back, or was this a lie? they were simply manipulating the media or something and they were killing aliens in secret?

This is what happens when I watch weekly animes, I kinda forget about some details, it's better if I just binge-watched it.

@xZabuzax the reason that the invaders probably didn't communicate with humans is due to a set up by the invader government that sent them to reduce population, we know they have the ability to communicate but probably it was on someone's interest to ensure they don't, or it's just their superiority complex, don't forget they came in thinking humans are dumb and will be their slaves and pets
Overall it's just a sad case of governments not caring about their people

What an episode

First off, no fucking way they still used the Prime Minister as a puppet despite leaving him behind... Their ship deserves to get nuked for trying to cover the whole thing up and leave everyone behind

Wtf did those bubbles do to those poor birds 😥

I knew Oba wasn't going to stop the explosion. There was no way it would work, but wow that still sucks. Did they know someone would try to stop it, so they rigged it to explode if someone put in the password, or was there really like a chance that he could've stopped it...

I was so anxious watching this episode. I was fully expecting the explosion to hit as Ai's brother was talking on the phone since the 15 minute mark hit right there... But you know what I think what actually happened might be worse 💀

Even as the mothership is coming down, and the aliens are just trying to get away from it, the military can't just let them go... They had a chance to get away. Oba managed to get away. They could've made it in time.

And then that huge explosion to close off the episode. How many characters did we just lose? I spotted the teacher, Oran's brother, Futaba, and Makoto 😥 How was Makoto there? I swear he went to his parents place. Did he change his mind and decide to go back to Tokyo instead? That was so fucked. He and Futaba looked so afraid😭😭

And now what? The future that the bowl cute dude saw was wrong, because of Oba? What's going to happen to those red bubbles coming down? They're still scattered around the world aren't they? Is Japan safe? Is time travel still in option? Is the fallout still happening? What is coming in these last two episodes... 😨

Anime of the year is right here for me. I really can't think of another show from this year that has kept me this invested.

@Alkimia what, oh wait, have you watched episode 0? That would explain it.

Which reminds me, the anxiety of the explosion, omg. Like I knew it was going to blow up and still was at the edge of my seat, like maybe Oba makes it so that the damage isn't so bad. I guess in a way episode 0 does spoil it does blow up and now I can see why it might have been a better idea to skip it.

ALSO IS THAT FUCKING ASSHOLE A SHIFTER TOO??? Or is he just a chuuni, why did he say "the future I saw"

Also the first thing I came here to say, THEY DID NOT JUST FUCKING KILL THE BEST CHARACTER...NOT IN THE ANIME, IN ALL FICTION. THE BROTHER BRO NOOOOO!! He was even already getting away ffs. I mean I guess it's fine, only one episode is left but, holy shit.

I usually don't care if the ending is happy or not, I'm always like "why is it always happy, why don't you surprise me" and now I was rooting for Oba so fucking much, I really wanted everyone to be happy. The little brothers of the girl T_T. Also let's talk about the choice of song in that epic scene with the explosion, I can somehow picture people saying it doesn't fit, but it just gave me goosebumps, it was so good, specially with such a colorful execution. The hand of god at the beginning was cool too. I'm so confused at what those bubbles are...like am I crazy, those shits just show up and have nothing to do with the spaceship, and the explosion sort of blew them away, which is what the fucker knew it was going to kill many people, so he really does know! I'm so confused and so sad I always forget about the show and watch 2/3 episodes instead of weekly, but at the same time I'm glad I have the last episode here already, can't wait for the conclusion. Amazing work by Inio Asano, I will definitely read the manga later to spot differences, plus the confusion I had with the stupid subtitles from earlier.
