When this anime was first announced, this was the one scene I was most excited to see. And wow, they pulled it off perfectly LMAO. A full 3–4 minutes of nonstop craziness... it was everything I imagined back when I read it. The song was also way better than I expected xD Also, Granny with her hair down looked amazing. Totally down bad for her... as if I wasn't already though :p

Anyway, makes sense that Jiji kept some of his powers, but I like how they show that beating the evil eye still takes time. It’s that strong. Jiji might be the one who helps that kid finally smile and let go of all that revenge. Maybe he’ll finally know what it’s like to have a family. It just really hurts seeing a little kid so sick, skinny, and alone, just wanting to dance and play.

MAN WHAT'S X JAPAN DOING IN MY ANIME?! 🤣 Can't even deny it with those names - Patarson, Yoshikichi, Toshiro, Hideji. And Hayashi? Really? 🤓 Would've been cool with some actual music too... 🫶🏻 I mean, not bad at all, but... not it either. More like a tribute band.

Peak episode. The slice of life part of this show is so good. That exorcism scene is amazing, Science SARU went all out with that and they did not disappoint.

Ok, that's one way to exorcise 😂


Granny with hair down is even badder, but ponytail also hits different. And lol @ the spanking Jiji received.

Lowkey, the parts when they're back to school can be more enjoyable than the action.

Holy! an actual 80s Speed Metal song! Science Saru really when above and beyond.

The rest of the episode did a really nice job making the characters feel and looks more alive and human.

Finally, the exorcism.

I was wondering how'd they (Saru) would do the exorcism but I wasn't a whole ass song with extra content. I knew that scene would pretty good in the anime but not THAT good. I love how they made a song for that scene, it just added even more to how crazy that scene was. The maid scene finally got animated, I've been waiting ngl. It's gonna be even more fun next episode. :)

Dandadan x rock lady collab when?!!

An exorcism by rock concert is so damn cool, of course Jiji wasn’t gonna let Evil Eye go like that though. The only way forward is for them to work together and for Jiji to learn to control it, definitely going to be some growing pains.. and high renovation bills at the house in the meantime lmao.

More importantly though, I love how this episode further emphasises how much of an amazing grandmother Seiko is. The way she couldn’t stand to see Jiji cry and immediately ended the exorcism is so sweet. She doesn’t even charge Okarun any rent either, just wants him to help others and keep being a great person. She’s a beautiful soul and a really loving grandmother who sees all the kids as her own

Peep how proud of Okarun Momo is when he says he wants Jiji to stay even if it’s a danger to him because they’re friends, she gets motivated to get stronger too as a result, they’re so cute 😩

BUT, all the love and care in the world ain’t gonna keep the cold and rain out after Evileye destroyed the walls of the house, lmao, so it’s time for a part time job for momo! Her friends are so wrong for bringing Okarun to her maid cafe job lmao. Hilarious end to the episode, can’t wait to see how that role goes for her.

Excellent episode from start to finish. The live performance is real deal, sung by Kisho Taniyama, I immediately recognize his voice because his role as Dark Schneider from Bastard!! also has this unique quality.

But for me, the real highlight is the quiet moment when Okarun help Jiji go to toilet and Momo wake up a little bit to check if everything's ok, this scene completely convince me that they're real family.

It's amazing to think that Dandadan excel in both loud and quiet scene. Most action anime excel only loud scene while most slice-of-lice anime excel only quiet scene.

Disappointment for this episode, I was kinda hoping Silky and Evil Eye throwing kick at each other.

@phantomfandom I thought that reminded me of Bastard!! And I haven't even fully seen the Anime', just clips, & the Ops & Ed's. But that was the exact vibe I got from the Concert/excorcism. LOL When those guys showed up, the first thing I thought of was a Hair band from the 80's!

Wow! Even though the episode didn’t feature any action in terms of battles, or present any major plot twists or developments—and despite the whole “power of friendship and kindness” theme we've seen in almost every anime…

This episode was still a solid 10/10! Just… wow! The animation, direction, and sheer madness we witnessed were absolutely top-tier! No exaggeration—Dandadan Season 2 is exploding with stunning visuals and direction!

I expect social media will be flooded with clips and scenes from this episode, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that random song becomes a viral hit!

Anyway, see you next week! We’re finally back to writing comments again, aren’t we?

Thank god some backup came. Not the bass player with a broken string and a tab that says no speaking 😭 the band did an incredible job! It was so fun, even granny was into it!! I really wish Jiji would let evil eye go

It was really sweet of Okarun to get a job to help pay some of the repair costs.

Momo working at a maid cafe wasn’t what I was expecting, but I’m all for it!

Jiji's sudden shifts is gonna net him a ton of repair bills lol. The hayashi sure are a bunch of oddballs. Still them being a rock band was quite the surprise. Quite the performance though. Poor Momo though with that snoring. Thats an impressive cardboard wall they erected though. Damm Momo looked good in a maid outfit.

Glorious metal animated chaos to the max. It doesn't get better than that. Coupled with a lot of wholesome slice of life, this was the best episode of the season so far.

Bruh. How many times did Jiji/Evil Eye break Momo's house? I feel bad for them. It looks like an actual haunted house now. Tho it kind of already is one because it houses multiple spirits.

I don't know what a hayashi is. But that HAYASii performance was fucking peak. Absolute cinema. Don't think I saw a scene quite like it in other anime.

Jiji is truly a nice guy. He cares about a random spirit so much. Granny Seiko is kind too. She looked hot as always in this episode.

The bathroom scene is small, but it adds so much to the series, especially with Okarun's little flashback. The fight scenes in this anime are great. But it's little moments like this that really make me love Dandadan. It gives the show heart.

I think it's funny how Aira snores so loudly when she's asleep, while Momo rustles around in her sleep. Aira takes a lot of care of her body, and especially her face. Meanwhile, Momo seems like she's just naturally pretty lol. Love the dynamics between the characters. They play off each other so well.

Wow. Momo actually got a job. I thought her friends were being weird when they dragged Okarun on a "date," but they just wanted him to see maid Momo! Now these are great friends lol.

Looks like Aira will finally transform in the next episode. Seems like it's going to be another great episode. Can't wait.

Kensuke Ushio's performance was great. As a metalhead, I loved the song. The animation, in particular, and the episode in general were very good and entertaining. I felt like the 20-minute episode lasted only 3 minutes. Also, Maid Momo was one of the cutest things I've ever seen

As if Dandadan being every genre wasn't true already, now we have a rock concert doubling as an exorcism.

Or at least until Jiji stopped them... I think it's quite foolish of him to try and "control" Evil Eye after he literally tried to kill everyone, but hopefully it'll all work out.

What an incredible way to perform an exorcism! I hope they release the full song! The band was clearly inspired by X Japan.

I felt terrible seeing them with their house destroyed and Jiji and Okarun having to use the bathroom in the cold. It was a very uncomfortable moment because of how they now live a slow and quiet life, but also very sweet: Okarun supporting his friend, following Seiko's teachings about helping others.

And Momo in a maid outfit? Perfection.

This show is so awesome, haha. Love it.

I did not expect a full performance. Seiko headbanging cracked me up.

The quiet scenes were wonderful as well. Loved that trip to the bathroom in the middle of the night and everyone having breakfast. Not slacking on those really adds charm and believability to the characters.

I can sympathize with the evil eye's suffering, but if he's still bent on doing what he wants, they should destroy it. It doesn't take a genius to see where the story is going. Whatshisface is going to be able to utilize it eventually. I still think it's stupid to let the thing go. It's the same kind of idiocy we see in western countries nowadays, where awful people get let out of prison or get leniency because of upbringing or other circumstances. I don't care what you went through, if you commit violent crimes, society should have no obligation to let you exist. If it's not self-defense, they should be put up in a tree like bird food or dropped on a desert island. I'm looking forward to seeing how this is inevitably going to play out, but I couldn't resist putting my two cents in on this stupidity of misplaced compassion.

Hayashi perfomance was so fire fuk..

I knew it was going to happen but Jiji kept evil eye with him. My respect for Seiko has grown quite a lot in last few episodes. Keeping that is most troubling for her but still she respected Jiji wish. And that Okarun flashback was nice too.

The Aira makeup scene was so freaking Peak😭😭
Too much snoring though..

For a moment I thought Muko & Miko is in for some evil scheme but in the end resistance wasn't worth it.
