This one has been the best episode this season; the concert, the sleepover, and the maid cafe surprise at the end? AHH, it's tough waiting for next week!
@TheAsterNaut

Ayase's friends are the best part of this show. SUch fucking awesome people.

Finally got the music gang 😆 lookin like a true punk rock band. Of course Dandadan characters have to live up to the motif defying anything normal. Ghosts live it up to get that for entertainment.

And Momo cheering yeah on cue 😆 what a crowd. Actually.. they brought out the crowd 👀 music isn't all that bad but yeah. That party is lit. Wanna have front row seats in the afterlife 🫡

What is Jiji thinking 💀 it wants to commit mass murder. That's far from just wanting to have fun. But I guess we're going to roll with it now. Would have been so much easier to let the exorcism go through, but if it can be controlled for good. I guess.

Rip that snoring 💀 hate snoring. This girl is one to talk, saying she couldn't sleep.

TWINTAIL MOMO 🙏 I can rest in peace

I mean Turbo Granny tried to kill both Okarun and Momo so what makes Evil Eye different? He actually has a tragic backstory and valid reason to hate humans unless Turbo.

Killer episode! The whole band scene, the funny quirky moments while taking care of Jiji, and the humbleness of the Ayase family surely warm your heart—and that final scene just puts the cherry on top of this episode!

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.

Turbo Granny and Aira's demon did the same thing, but they eventually changed.

@Royalty459 Turbo Granny never had the ambition to wipe out all of humanity tho. She was in the tunnel collecting the golden pairs and only going after people in her zone. I'm not saying Granny is a good guy here XD I'm saying Granny is less of an overall threat. And the means of keeping her in check don't get broken when a single drop of soy sauce happens to fall on your hand.

That exorcism concert was pretty cool, though Jiji is quite selfish. By keeping Evil Eye he makes everyone else's lives harder.

Wouldn't that be selfless because he's risking his own body to try to save a spirit who went through hell.

@Royalty459 I mean yeah, it's nice to the evil spirit that wants to kill them all.
If it was only between him and the spirit it would be selfless, but unfortunately it's not.

WOOOOO OMG OMG THAT WAS INSANE!! HUNTING SOOOOUUULLLLLL!!!!!!! GRAAAAHHHH MAKE SOME NOISEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! Seriously. That was ridiculously awesome! An absolutely spectacular performance. The audience was wild too, considering they were literally a bunch of spirits. Damn. Even Aira, the picture-perfect ojou-sama, joined in on the headbanging (T___T)❤️‍🔥

But I really liked Aira in this episode. So many sides of her that just made her even more adorable ;) snoring in her sleep, that ugly face when she yawned after waking up, her super “Aira” morning routine, the way she give extra rice just for Okarun, how she’s always scolding Jiji whenever he lost control, how she ended up getting swept up in the hype and enjoying Hunting Soul… and her realistic take on Jiji’s wish to keep the Evil Eye. Honestly, if Aira had a beauty channel, I’d totally subscribe.

And Okarun! That moment when he said Jiji was his friend got me emotional. Ahhh! Okarun back in season 1 would’ve never imagined saying something like that. From small things like making sure Jiji washes his hands with hot water to huge moments like wanting to get stronger so he can match the Evil Eye’s power, Okarun’s really grown into a more confident and optimistic person.

Hope Jiji can master the Evil Eye under his own control soon. That’s gonna be super cool.

Loved the episode! Especially the first part, oh my god. Hunting Soul was so good, I even started dancing along with them. Seiko and Ken dancing was hilarious too, but I can’t even blame them, the band was amazing, haha. I danced all the way to the end of the song.

That aside, the scene before the ending was absolutely adorable. Momo looked so cute in her maid outfit. The way she hid her face with her hands when Ken saw her, because she was so shy and embarrassed, was the most precious thing ever.

This is it, we have reached peak anime, there is no way to top this episode, we can stop right here.

Also everybody is mention the obvious Back to the Future and X Japan Kurenai song but no one is speaking about the Jojo reference at the end with "buta, buta, buta, buta" (pig/ugly in Japanese) as a ester egg for the Muda, Muda, Muda, Muda.

The first 5 seconds stamped out the cliffhanger from the previous episode..



but that don't mean shi This episode was fun from the beginning to the end. I always love a show that makes you genuinely care for the characters. The Rock band was dope af and they were cool with the outcome even though they traveled all that way only to be sent home in the rain. How long will it take for him to control the evil eye, who knows? But I'm ready every step of the way. It's a fun show; you don't need to get fully invested in the plot.

Fucking Dragonforce on vocals and Megadeath on guitar for the exorcism was an epic move--torn between English and Japanese versions since hey both are amazing.
Great episode as always, proving that high-octane action isn't necessary for a shounen anime to be great. The character moments are the backbone of this show.

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to watch that exorcism scene again.

Here is a day full of nice things to say. I will try my darnedest best to keep things short, and extra sweet, and not sound like a screaming monkey along the way.

This episode although it was a temporary 20 min episode, but it felt so much shorter I swear. I am enjoying the set-up, delivery, character development, and MANY MORE THINGS and references I would probably have to watch an hour long video to understand. This episode like the rest of the other episode, had me thinking "Am i spoiled to be enjoying such golden show with care, masterful craftsmanship, and detail so overly PACKED it makes my head thinking about it... am I spoiled for wanting more of these type of shows?" the answer is yes/no. But instead of diving in the physiological reason, followed by the amount of resource need to craft this show-or lack there of. I am instead going to talk about granny, or momo's grandmother.

She has got to be THE COOLEST character ever. I understand why momo was so attached to the idea of spirits at such a young age, and considering her teenage rebellious phase, she still goes out of her way to admire her. I find myself, in aw of how calm and collected she is at dangers of situations, like a dependable person. Kinda like Tsunada, if she had a writer who knows women, BUT DEAR GOD, my admiration for momo's house hold grows ever more.

And of course, Ocarun sees this, attempts to pay forward the cost of everything but finds himself admiring and following their foot steps. AND ITS HELPING HIM BE SO COOL. and showing why, or what made momo fall for ocarun. Honestly this show had me by the throat and balls. So it makes me wonder how much is left, before I have to cry myself to sleep knowing this show has come to a complete stop... such is that and why I feel so spoiled. BUT I will enjoy this series to THE FULLEST extent.

Anyway, show episode of the weekly rating time. I am gonna rate the show now.

Plot: 10/10
I love it, it starts of where it left off last week. But ends up tying loss ends, from the back story that jiji saw. And what he actually thinks considering he was quiet about it for like 2 episodes now

Back Story: 10/10
awh, okarun's flashback to paying them back. which followed evil eye's back story. i was crying back to BACK

Theme: 10/10
Family. (technically its considered community but FnF is funny so)

OST: 10/10
I love metal, and i think the band was a reference to KISS at first but quickly relized I am not that big a fun. SO probably a japanese metal band the manga author included
ALSO BEEP BOOP


OverALL: 10/10
WHAT A BANGER of an episode. Absolute Cinema. And I would talk about okurun getting dragged at the end there but I am not that familiar with the background characters this episode so. next episode I will write about it.


ANYWAY BYEEE

The Hayasii band song is fire. They looked like pop idols then break out into hard rock metal??? Great song!

I was low key waiting of Krauser to come along with his 14 ... uh .. a second, never mind, not that kind of anime.

Dandadan episode 6 - the Macrossiest of them all.
Granny summons metal band to exorcise Evil Eye with power of music! Jin begs Grandma Seiko spare tormented spirit, so ritual ends abruptly. Jiji has to practice controlling Evil Eye, and Okarun wants to help since he had a similar problem. Also, this episode has interesting morning makeup scene to show how much Aira cares about her image in comparison to easy going rest of the crew. Later, Momo's gyaru friends drag Okarun to a maid cafe where Momo got hired to work on the same day. Episode ends with kids blushing into cliffhanger. Show has plenty of good music, but this is 1st time we got banger as part of the plot. Fun episode while it lasted, expect more action next week.

I have REALLY warmed up to the OP and ED, even tho I disliked it since first season's OP and EDs are BANGERS of all time :D
Once I started this episode it hit me that watching Dan Da Dan gives me extreme joy, almost to the point of happiness, it's really weird :) Really well done episode, I think the best of this season... SO FAR that is :D

As a fan of power metal, this was fire I can't lie. Elevated a ridiculous manga scene and made it infinitely more fun, memorable and epic with animation for the performance and songs too. All for a dumb exorcism gag. Even besides that, rest of the episode was a really nice breather.

Wow — that was peak Dandadan! From a death-metal exorcism to the most unexpected tear-jerking moment, this episode had it all. The HAYASii’s performance (complete with head-bang-inducing riffs) was absolutely wild—who needs holy water when you’ve got guitars roaring spirits away? And then, just when you're riding the adrenaline, Jiji’s plea for the Evil Eye’s survival hits you right in the feels. Seiko calling him “family” sealed the deal on that warm found-family vibe. Plus, finishing things off with Maid Momo and blushy Okarun? Absolutely adorable. This episode delivered humor, heart, and hyper-real animation in perfect harmony. Seriously, I’m here for every insane, emotional, romance-tinged second.

What can I even say? The exorcism scene was so good! I enjoyed the song, I thought the animation and directing were superb, and Jiji's emotional toll over the spirit was handled perfectly.

I loved the general camaraderie in the group, especially during the half-asleep and going to the bathroom part. Jiji and Okarun's friendship is one of my favorite aspects of the show even though it's so young, still.

Also, I'm happy with myself that I guessed correctly that Momo was working at a maid café! x) She looks so cute in her outfit. It's fun to see how flustered Okarun is.
