Dandadan Episode 7 Discussion

@FMmatron masaaki yuasa's legacy down the drains

Well... Where i am from, there was alot of folklore stories (lets leave it at that) of people who died with some regrets (stuff like losing a child, a fight with their children, the child leaving etc), they never rested in peace, so they became ghosts hunting the living and sometimes, not by evil intent, to pass time with living children projecting their child in them. I feel, Japanese may have similiar stories. And here also, (again old folklore) some people have the gift sometimes see ghosts, a thing this show touches and i feel is also mixed in Japanese folklore. So, i think that explains it.

One of my favorite mini arcs, Acro Silky arc.

That opening scene of Acro Silky running then transitioning to her going crazy over Aira is just UGH, PEAK FICTION! They adapted the manga so gracefully, I knew what was coming yet I couldn't help but be in my feelings for Acro Silky. Anybody who has a loving family member knows how this episode hit hard.
My favorite episode and mini arc of Dandadan for sure.

OST this episode was really good, hits you right in the feels.

@Mavuika Hopefully one day they'll find out.

I've read the manga and yet this episode still made bawl. It's been such a long while since the last time I cried so hard. The whole team which was in charge for this episode cooked.

@Plopop

What a pessimistic takeaway from a beautiful adaptation. Instead of seeing it as a studio losing it's identity it's more like a new chapter where they pour quality directing into mass appealing shounen.

Holy,they cooked so damn hard. Thought it was a pretty nice tragic backstory in the manga, here I was left speechless. Science SARU elevating the emotional highs to another level altogether. This may be the adaptation that will bring them universal recognition within the anime community.




Here's the ballet scene from the manga. Anime was quite a bit subtler about it's implication (and the prostitution as well)

@Mavuika Im not a Manga reader, but saw the discussion about it, and in the Manga, there is a pannel in which she, goes to heaven with her child. So, the child also died, which makes it more tragic.

I knew this ghost had a tragic backstory for sure, her child probably died. She was looking her child through Aria. But, the Anime, is very lighthearted (until now), comedy focus and maybe even slight romance. I didnt expect they would show the backstory of the ghost and how it would hit in the feels as much as this.
