I'm not really sure if I'm feeling this anime as a whole, but I respect the art direction in this episode specifically. Besides how beautiful it looks, I guess I'm also feeling a little miffed that the creator conveniently portrays the tragedy of one woman's life in this episode, and then will probably show a panty shot in the next lol. But whatever, male gaze and all that. I suppose it is a shounen.

Aye. This is presentation above content in a nutshell. The direction is so remarkable it almost makes you forget the complete tone shift from the previous episode. I don't think fanservice is the problem, it's just that the series struggles to balance its ambitions. Mostly, it struggles to find any particular element to explore with its themes; thriving on personality, but being scarce on substance.
There was nothing particular about the Acrobatic Silky woman's backstory to compel any non obvious response from the viewer. Any normal person would find the case of a prostitute mother and her stolen child tragic, yet the story doesn't go beyond what is already agreeable and known.
| @Sheklon first of all, damn like how did you find my comment buried among hundreds of others lol. second of all, I couldn't say it any better "thriving on personality, but being scarce on substance". that's exactly how I feel about this anime, and a decent amount of other ones too. |
can't yuck my yum  |
| I can understand some of that, but we might still be getting ahead of ourselves. I think we should wait and see where the rest of episodes take us. If the show runners can manage to express again the ideas found in ep.7 it would surely feel sensible and meaningful to bear that difficult scene. That aside I want to reiterate how great the voice acting was this episode.. I found it exceedingly haunting. I am curious to check the dub for this episode as I have a feeling the English voice actors would struggle to keep up with the OG voice work in this case. Edit: Dubs did good too. |

| Wow this back story was the best the author could come up with? a bunch of tropes that have been done to death? |
| That was a fantastically directed episode. I wish they'd delved a little more into the backstory of the red woman and her kid because I personally didn't feel the attachment that I expected but it was good enough. I'm positive that this was better than the manga cause ain't no way bruh. The music was absolutely phenomenal and of course the animation in this show never fails to deliver peak visuals. 5/5 |
| Damn, that was so sad and good. I actually saw a clip of this episode on socmed and it made me marathon the show up to this point. |

| @Zeroflamez Your favorite anime is Bleach. You don't get to call anything else generic. 🤮 |
| What a gut-wrenching episode, wow... |
| First look back and now this. Can't handle this shit bro 😭😭😭 |
| Here I was trying to watch the new episode of Dandadan and then all of a sudden this shit hit me with a flashback, and I was sitting here like: "oh F*ck no" because I knew that this was going to be heart-wrenchingly sad. and I wasn't wrong. still not going to make me feel bad for that pink haired bitch though |

| I inadvertently found out that this episode made people cry (I didn't realize they were talking about DanDaDan initially) so when I went to go watch it, I expected some sort of emotion but WOW...... I was NOT ready. Yeup, I couldn't hold back the tears, no matter how hard I tried. This episode was amazing. Possibly my favorite episode of anime since certain parts of season 2 of Vinland Saga (I caught myself and ask for forgiveness because Frieren definitely had some as well). This show was already up there for in but this gave it a nice boost in talks of being one of my all time favorites. A lot of show left but so far, the potential is there. |
The World Suffused with Sound.  |
| I was so not expecting this episode to be this good. It had been a while since something made me this emotional. I love when stories can be told without words, and this is one of those cases when is told really well through just scenes. Tho I'm really curious to know what happened to that kid |

| @phantom346 Lol you reminded me why I stopped posting on these forums. You guys on here don't know how to refute anything properly. Just go straight to the users page and say "You have *insert Anime* in your favorites, you aren't allowed to talk". How about actually coming up with an actual reason as to why you disagree with what I'm saying? I don't think you can. Prove me wrong, comon buddy. |
| @James-LastOmnic Keep typing paragraphs that no one cares for man. I'm just laughing at how pretentious and ignorant you are. |

Is this even supposed to mean something? At least the other guy gave a legit argument, mentioning my mean score is cute at best because is not even something hidden, not the first time I see it on these forums as if it was some kind of gotcha.
| @Ionliosite2 I don't know man, looks to me like you're a masochist that forces himself to watch shit you don't like just so you can be part of the discussion. It's not a gotcha, I just don't understand why you spend hours weekly watching things you don't enjoy. |

| @Zeroflamez Prove what wrong? Your entire criticism of this episode was based on the assumption that this is the author's best work, followed by asking him to do something original. Newsflash: THERE ARE NO ORIGINAL STORIES! Every story that can be written has been written and all that new authors can do is find a new little twist to put on existing ideas and execute in a fun and interesting manner. The writing and production of this anime is faaaar better than the likes of any of its contemporaries, whether it's JJK, Demon Slayer, Mashle, etc. Your comment makes no sense because you still believe that there's such a thing as an original thought. |
