Did okkarun hum the Slam Dunk ed song? Correct me if I was mistaken
@chuajohn05 didnt notice it, i recently watched slam dunk, need to rewatch that scene again. Such a win if he did though.

I liked the episode, but i feel it shouldnt be a season final episode. Still, when i heard about this anime and when i started, didnt thought i would enjoy as much as i did.

How you gon' make us wait 6 months for this? Also, weird that there is a second time that Momo is getting assaulted by non-human males. Sooooo, I guess new powerup?

@Apratim I was just thinking that, it feels like a weird place to pause the anime.
@ejleon I agree that it wasn't a natural break point, but I'm fine with the split cour treatment if it lets them keep production values up

@MiaAyende Didn't think of that, thanks for explaining, I hope it has the same quality
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Adaptation was everything I ever wanted. Thank you Science Saru. If the Vamola arc ever gets animated I hope they give the same treatment as episode 7.

So this was the end of the season? Didnt really feel like an ending at all. A little underwhelming. Else I enjoyed the show a lot. Funny and entertaining. Solid 8/10 for me.

It should be more than 14 episodes. I'm not sure if they will make more episodes or not but the ending of the 12th episode feels like the beginning of a new story. If they end the series at 12 episodes, I’ll have to read the manga but I thought that I wouldn’t read it.
I really liked how the 12th episode turned out. It had a nice story flow. Overall, it’s a great series.

The current arc will take longer than 2 episodes to conclude so even if it’s 14 episodes u will still be stuck on a cliffhanger.

The manga loves its cliffhangers as well so i was expecting this. Atleast its not too long at around 7 months wait.

Whelp, that was certainly the season finale of all time lol. Really tho it was a good episode as always, just damn you can’t really call this a good stopping point, right smack dab in the middle of an arc and it ended like we’re getting the next episode next week, but we are not lol, it’s very obvious this was meant to be a 2-cour season but it was split up, but hey we do at least know Season 2 is coming as soon as next summer (if the date doesn’t change) and the episode was fun at least, I can’t complain too much lol. But yeah this stopped us right when things were about to get creepy, Jiji and Ken kinda grew closer over Momo and she’s currently in the bath with Reddit mods, sad that she’s about to be stuck in there with them for 6 months lol, but I will absolutely be there when she finally gets out.

And that was the “Monsters vs. Aliens” anime, safe to say this was the mega hit of not just the season, but of the year as well, don’t think I saw a show get this much attention other than Frieren, but that one started in Fall 2023 so hard to say it counts for this year. And I’m happy to say it definitely deserved the attention it got, amazing production from Science SARU and the show itself was just pure entertainment, never really a dull moment, just when you thought it was gonna slow down we were back in another insane situation, yeah the story isn’t all that grabbing yet but we are still in the early stages of the series where it’s setting up the characters and the world, I can forgive that for now, it helps that the characters make it so fun already. And I know episode 7 gets a lot of talk, and I liked that one a lot as well, but my only issue with it is that it seemed very disconnected from the series, on its own it’s damn near a masterpiece, but when it’s supposed to be part of Dandadan… idk I feel like it’s a bit out of place, but this is mainly a nitpick anyway, doesn’t take away from the show really.

And man I’m really gonna miss Creepy Nuts’ OP, loved getting to hear them in a show again after Call of the Night and they killed it once again, definitely one of the best OPs of the season, as was the ED by ZUTOMAYO, it really reminded me of the ED from another show by Science SARU called “Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!”, a really nostalgic one now for me so it gives it some extra points. And I guess that’s it for now, I know summer seems like it’s far away but it’ll be here in the blink of an eye, time is cruel like that lol.

Meh, kinda lame cliffhanger. I wish there was at least one more episode, because ep. 12 felt pretty timid as a season's finale.

Another wholesome chapter of the school dummy's love story was great. Too bad that the episode itself was full of Jiji's annoying behavior.

Anyway, I enjoyed watching the whole season. Dandadan is a cool show. :)

Very good episode, even though not much happened and they left it with the typical “continue”... it was very entertaining to see how Okarun fights against Jiji (her new and first male friend, let's say) for Momo's attention.
For a moment I thought the mannequin romance was going to end in tragedy but it didn't.
As soon as I saw the townspeople I said: these people are not normal and so it was, Momo's situation in the hot springs is pretty shady.
When there's literally a quarter of seals and you've already broken a few... you're in trouble.

PS: I obviously want to watch season 2 but will have to wait, one or the best anime of the season and/or year

At the start of the episode, when Okarun was getting jealous of Jiji again, I found it really annoying. Maybe it's cause I'm older now but this kind of stuff isn't appealing to me anymore. Unless they find a way to make it funny. And they fucking did. Made it nostalgic too. Those two idiots sang Kimi ga Suki da to Sakebitai from Slam Dunk. Lmao! I did not expect that! All of a sudden I was reminded of Sakuragi's jealousy of Rukawa over Haruko. Man, those were the days.

Anyway, overall I love the show. Great visuals, I like the comedy, I like the action. I hate the cliffhanger.

I didn't enjoy Dandadan as much as I thought I would. I wasn't really invested in the plot and the worst aspect of the show is the forced and unfunny comedy bits and gags. However, I'll give credit where it's due. The animation is superb, the soundtrack and voice acting was great. I may or may not watch season 2.
Overall 6/10

Okarun constantly acting like a wallflower the last two episodes kinda took away from the finale/cliffhanger.

even if he gets his balls back, he wont have balls.

7/10 season. Good characters otherwise.

Jiji can die in a fire though.

It's good to know that part 2 (or season 2) is coming out next year because this ended on a cliffhanger, and on that note I wonder if Jiji and Okarun will end up near Momo by going through that mysterious room. Regarding Jiji, while I don't care much for him he did add some silly/comedic moments and he also made Okarun put more effort in keeping Momo's attention and affection.

I enjoyed this series as a whole as it had funny moments mixed in with some good action scenes and even some sad moments with Acrobatic Silky's backstory. I don't have any criticisms other than some weird/random scenes like with the mannequin dolls and wishing this should've been 2 consecutive cours but I don't mind waiting if it means production values stay high.

There is no way they just ended the episode like that... we have to wait nearly a year to see what happens next lmao
That's cruel as fuck.

This anime got announced out of nowhere.
Everyone got hyped.
When it started airing everyone loved it.
Quickly became the best anime of this season by far, and one of the best of the entire year.
Last episode gets aired and they immediately announce a 2nd season for next year.
Refuse to elaborate further.
Peak is over.

PD: OKARUN IS KENOUGH
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

Nobody mentions but who is the player on the poster at 20:19, manga looks like Neymar in a PSG kit but in the anime the kit looks like the Real Madrid purple kit and the player lowkey resembles a little more to Marco Asencio then Neymar. Could also be Messi.

Ok season 2 is on the way and we won't have to wait too long; but otherwise, it'd be criminal to end a season like THAT.

That and episode 7 should've cut the ED or play something more somber and more mellow.

But that's all the complaints really, and they are more like nitpicks. Dandadan slaps, and I'll be giving it the same score that MAL as a whole has given it: a nice 8.7/10.

Very weird final episode, it would make more sense if it already had an official announcement for the 2nd season, but it is a crazy cliffhanger.

Okarun and Jiji competing against each other was fun and also Jiji just being a nice guy really makes it hard to hate him.

Extremely overrated anime imo.
It's good but not that good imo.
It's still an episodic and basic shounen anime. With no real story.
7/10
@ZER0PT What do you mean episodic and no real story? Bro you call it basic shounen and then don't even know what that is? Did Bleach have a real story 12 episodes in or was it slice of life and monster of the day? Did Naruto have one (reminder that Zabuza was episode 15/16 and no main enemy or story was shown yet)? It has already enough hints were the story is going. Just give it time to develop if you personally don't see it yet.

Most people can tell already that this will be great, but it is still in the character introduction and world building phase. Bleach had a very similar and lenghty approach but DanDaDan is doing it even better.

This doesn't feel like a season finale, so much as a mid-season finale; like we've gotten through the first part of season one and the second is coming in a few months. The cliffhanger is honestly too much for me and doesn't feel appropriately timed and weighed.

Other than that, I enjoyed the episode. Okarun and Jiji's relationship is really fun to watch, they're both becoming more comfortable with each other, I hope they'll be good buddies!

Momo's story is pretty scary. Hopefully, she gets out of there without a scratch.

I came into this anime with zero expectations knowing it was toilet literature and got my preconceived notions confrimed. Crazy how EP7 was the only good episode from this anime and that happens in a narrative and thematic vacuum; this was basically Chainsaw Man but stripped of any underlying substance behind the vulgar ADHD humour that that story tried to tell. Dandadan really felt like an anitwit anime. Not the most overhyped anime of the year (that's still Frieren), but this is close. Even Re:Zero was more palatable from this season.

Gooner Man has zero depth but takes itself way too seriously. Dandadan does not take itself seriously and is actually funny.
@riqmoran Both are shit. Dandadan is a good turn-your-brain-off anime if you find its incredibly low IQ and infantile sense of humour funny.
