Okay, that was interesting and very eventful, lol.

Considering there’s amnesia involved, I wonder what the odds are they’ve met before already. Pretty fun interactions already but I’m guessing there’ll. a big change from her side in particular now which will make things very interesting.

Aliens and ghost, this is going to make for an interesting watch. With the slapstick animation from Studio SARU, this should be a fun combo.

Great to have Creepy Nuts doing the Op, although it feels this will take a bit of time to warm up to.

The opening song is good, the ending song is mid.
The story is mid, the visuals are bad (the sense of it being zoomed-in the whole time, hated it).

5/10.

Welp, guess we know who is going to be the flavor of the month on all the R34 sites.

Pretty good so far, a tad too shonen-like for my taste (loud characters and shit happening left & right with no explanation), but the crisp animation makes it up plus there hasn't been a single character voiced by Natsuki I hadn't liked. At the very least I'm intrigued how will the rest of the cast assemble and where will all these paranormal and alien like anomality plot will go.

Noo. This is not your typical self-insertion wankfest, not at all. It will however pull some battle shounen tropes (and then some), but it's more like a battle-of-the-week and past-enemy-to-present-nakama kind of thing.

And while the beginning is quite funny, cute even, with them both obviously getting the hots for each other,


I'd vote this the most overhyped anime of the season (and perhaps beyond).

What an awesome start.

Fire of an OP to go along.

Both the leads have good chemistry already. Ken is kind of an oddball but Ayase is genuinely nice to look after him and even go along with his crazy sticks. Literally caught off guard how horny it was lol. Fight scenes are done well. Great smooth animation..

Battle shounen which has romcom elements..
sign me up all-day.
Great first episode I hope these weird setting continues and don't become a generic one. I am more invested after such great introduction.

I believe this is my first time watching an anime that was animated by Science Saru and I can see how well received their animation style is upon seeing the extreme craziness of this episode in particular.

Honestly, if you had to rate the crazy rating of this episode from 1 to 10, it would've broken the rating scale long ago. So much randomness was happening, but I was enjoying it a lot. Ayase and Ken already make for a funny pairing with their respective love for supernatural and occult stuff, so it was cool to see them work together to battle against the creepy aliens. It sucks that Ken's "weenie" was taken from him by turbo granny, but I do hope he gets it back.

These 12 episodes is going to be one wacky experience, but upon the first episode's impression, I think this will be a really fun series to follow weekly. =)

This anime is everything that Chainsaw Man should've been.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Absolutely phenomenal. Studio captured everything that makes Dandadan so special and enhanced it. Animation fits so incredibly well and the voice casting is well done, another perfect fit!! Can't wait to see Science Saru to keep up this consistency and if they do, this will be a very faithful adaptation!

Now that's the first episode done right! but do feel things moving a little bit too fast tho.
@Mainnus it's a Fast Paced show tbh. Don't worry, it have enough chapters for characters to grow on us,, but this weekly manga is actually fast paced (which kinda fits well gradually)

Watched the first ep and I still have no idea what the fuck I just witnessed. Really something you just have to just experience for yourself, no summary is gonna accurately capture how insane this was lmao. The supernatural meets the extraterrestrial. An acid trip personified.

At some points I didn’t know what was real and what was fake. Science Saru off to an incredible start production wise too, show looks gorgeous I hope it stays that way throughout.

The whole alien rape attempt scene was just a mindfuck. A metal dick is CRAZY. And then turbo granny freaky ass with the “Lemme gobble that weenie” 😭 like what is going on. Even the aliens got weirded out

Speaking of weenies, if Ken got his taken by turbo granny for the curse is he not gonna be able to pee or how does that work lol

Ayase and Ken make a great team and now that Ayase knows Ken is named after her favourite actor she’s gonna be heads over heels for him lol. Can’t wait.
@Marinate1016 Actually his Balls are taken. Shaft is with him. He can pee but cannot reproduce. Nit a spoiler, but Later on in the Manga, his balls comes back but shaft disappears [then he realises he cannot pee]😐.....but the reason why? is a spoiler.

A great start to a great new anime series, as a fan of the manga I'm loving this even more!
You can tell right away this is Science Saru with the way the characters are animated, with a kind of cartoonish movement and the use of bright colors, it's great seeing Science Saru adapting a big modern manga series
By rights this should be one of the new big anime, there's plenty of unpredictable insanity to come for all anime fans to enjoy
The opening and endings were awesome too!
