Amazing first episode. Absolutely loving the opening as well. Can't wait to see 'that' form fully animated.

Seems pretty good minus the fanservice, even got me scared with that alien moving in the shadows. Will keep watching.

Decent start. Don't like the OP, the comedy is pretty bad, is a shounen, you can't expect decent comedy in shounens. The animation is pretty good tho.

Also r*pe scene from 1st ep 🤔

7/10 for now let's see if the story will improve
@joshua10red That is a pretty basic alien abduction scenario, actually. Well, more like artificial insemination or insertion of an embryo that may later be removed. Yeah, it's pretty traumatic, but these stories go back to the 1960s, this one was just goofy though. LOL

The story presents a unique blend of genres, mixing romance, supernatural elements, and science fiction, which provides an interesting narrative with plenty of potential for humor, action, and character development.
The character dynamics between Momo and Occult-kun are compelling, with both characters showing depth and personal struggles that make them relatable.
The plot effectively introduces various conflicts, such as Momo's broken relationship, Occult-kun's isolation, and their newfound friendship, all of which contribute to building an engaging narrative.
The action sequences, especially with aliens and ghosts, add intensity and excitement, while the emotional moments ground the story, providing a nice balance.
The use of humor, particularly with the interactions between Momo and Occult-kun, is well-executed and contributes to the anime's charm.

I feel like newer animes and mangas focus on almost sexual scenes to push sales and story. Same with chainsaw man's manga.

@Sheol01 no im just not reliant on sexual references to keep an anime to be good or to draw people in. You can check by my list Im not a noon. It’s the same concept as LOTR has won multiple oscars for no obscured scenes or sex scenes. I havent warch any other episodes so Im still hopeful for some story and action.

WWWHHHHOOOO BOIII we eatin so GOOD folks!!!! I've been so psyched for this adaptation since I caught up on the manga a while ago (need to catch up again, wasaround 130 iirc?) the anticipation had been gnawing at me. So far I'm BLOWN away! Science Saru is nailing it perfectly so far, I can't wait for more. The dope gorgeous animation, fighting and flow, the characters are brought to life so well, and the banging as fuck tunes. Really hope the show catches on and does gangbusters well, more people need to see the wacky wild hype that is Dandadan.

Just watched the episode and so far I'm loving it, this anime is crazy, it reminds me of FLCL with the type of craziness, this one will easily be the anime of the year and I'm looking forward to the next episode, the 1st episode was amazing and I have no complaints regarding the animation either, I say the animation is pretty good and they are taking some liberty to make it look crazy like FLCL and I'm loving it!

For the love of god, don't fuck this up, there are plenty of other animes with a pretty damn good 1st episode but later on, they fuck up, it happened with Ninja Kamui and Zom 100, they also had an amazing 1st episode but later on they fucked up with the story or the animation and I got bored with those shitty animes, I just hope that shit doesn't happen to this one, I have high expectations for Dandandan, don't let me down.

5/5 episode.

Easily one of the most memorable first episodes to an anime I've seen in the past 10 years. The comedy is peak, the colors, art and animation are all beautiful. And the story is interesting and drawing me in right off of the rip.

Well, people are talking a lot about the shows first episode, so I got convinced to watch it aswell. Shouldnt read too much on this websites forum, haha.

First episode was good, nothing too crazy. Its not sensational. I have seen a lot of first episodes that were minimum equally as good. Further episodes will of course determine how good the show really is. Because in my experience the first episode of an anime is often very good but later on it falls off. So I hope it wont be the case with this show so I dont need to regret starting to watch it and being influenced in watching it by random people on the internet haha.

First episode was funny, I enjoyed it. The pacing was fast but thats in this case pretty good. Not wasting time and getting right into the action, setting the playground for the further episodes. Sexual content is a little too much for my liking, I hope it is getting toned down later on and remains mainly in the first episode to attract viewers. Since I dont like romance that much I can also go without that, haha. Animation is totally fine. The show reminds me of Zom 100 a lot, so I hope it wont wall off as much as Zom 100 did in the past.

Looking forward for more.

I liked this episode, the begins well, the beginning is very different, from the middle to the end It's very funny and the plot of the episode was very engaging and surreal. The main characters are charismatic, and their background was nicely presented. Because of this, I really enjoy the first episode.

Very good first impression. The animation has a lot of frames. The story is original. It really draws you from the start to finish.

They will, the 3 episodes I watched were all same quality and gets better. I think the only problem this anime will face is the pacing and story problems but that’s it.

I do remember the famous scene of cow with UFO from the manga that people keep viral before... Decided to watch this and turn out to be not bad~
Great first episode, the main female character is pretty nice too. Can't believe she keep saying Ken Takakura the whole episode and suddenly surprise hearing the male protagonist is actually having a same first and last name, LOL.
The animation look pretty good~ Love seeing Momo actually look pretty cool when she actually floating during her 'power' awakening.
Can't wait to see how's the other 3 main character personality looks like. That other dude look like a korean hair style dude. Ahaha, but he's actually good looking.

It's finally here! Alien extraterrestrial UFOs meet the paranormal ghosts. Once those two worlds collide, you have one hell of an adventure. I'm already loving this concept already. Gotta love the Space Force reference!

That OP song from Creepy Nuts was a banger. Definitely got me hype to watch this.
Seeing the Serpo aliens with Momo was quite a shock the first time I was reading the manga. It was still just as shocking watching it live on the big screens. The freaking banana!!!
Granny Turbo Okarun came in clutch with the save. Protect Momo at all cost.

I only read a few chapters of Dandadan years back, but it was freaking hilarious and I'm glad to see that humour elevated in anime form.

Turbo Granny (AKA testicle thief) and sex robot aliens is quite a unique way to start off your series, this seems like fun. Definitely gives me some FLCL vibes, which I love.

Visually, the episode makes a positive impression. The soundtrack from the trailer was used in this episode, and it sounds really nice.
I wouldn't call myself a fan of this series(no plot, just action + fanservice), but I'll still watch at least the first season, cause it seems the Science SARU studio really did justice to the visual artstyle of manga.

no plot? just action and fanservice? you must not have read the manga, right?
