Jujutsu kaisen, chainsaw man & now dandandan, I've noticed that respective fandoms hype the show out of water, trying to reel in non anime fan by convincing them it's a masterpiece of epic proportions, actual anime comes out, is extremely mid only carried by animation then said fandom tries to stir up some kind of controversy to make the conversation going & what's even more cringy is fandom trying to meme the out of context scenes in anime which comes off as forced & unnatural in normie internet parts, CSM fans can attest with there makima obsession & cringy jokes about how there anime is somehow equivalent to tarantino films just because of few nods & references, as for the dandandan I actually enjoyed it, absurdist sexual humour works in this case except for some unnecessary fanservice that people seem to have blown out of proportion & humour is very subjective, it was not par my taste, it's a solid 7/10 show not quite a masterpiece you fans seem to be raving about, nor quite it is a great show, it's a good show, I still believe demon slayer ep8 was episode of the year even better than ep7 of dandandan, it's just sad to see the state of modern anime industry when best anime of the year is a middle of the road decent show for many people while west is releasing Arcane S2 which is actually a masterpiece & once a generation show

(Real) Common Pattern:

- Amazing Animation

- Unique

- Good author/source material

And yes Sex sells...So what? People are sick of the same Show over and over and over again. This is fresh. This is exciting. This shocks some people. Good!





As much as people want to be butthurt about the sexual themes...they're just fun, while still not beeing the Main reason of it's success.

If anything it helps the Show beeing different. It's not as clean and snowflaky, as most Anime have become.

Maybe you just have to accept that you can't handle sexual content very well and that Arcane is not an Anime :)

Maybe it's just not for you. That's fine.
That doesn't mean that everybody else is wrong, tho, you know xD

arcane is not considered anime, it’s just animation, like blue eye samurai or disney films. if i wanted someone to get into anime this would still be show i recommend cause story, animation, creativity, production are A+. chainsaw man i agree, but jjk lived up to the hype (anime wise). big shows with a large fan base always have a degenerate side. also other than the granny is there any fan service?? this typa show doesn’t come round often idk how you hating on this.

Arcane is actually a bad example, because it couldn't do what Dandadan EP7 did. S2 was weaker than S1.
You are just projecting your own personal taste instead of presenting arguments. While you can definitely do that, it won't make you right.
If the mentioned shows would actually represent the "mid", then the west is straight up producing shit. And yes, the mentioned shows weren't the best of their years, but they were above average, good shows. Arcane was even better than some of them, but Arcane is nowhere near close to the best anime shows of the years.
To make it simple for you, let's say Dandadan is a 8.5/10, then Arcane is an 8.7-8.8/10, while we had easily 9/10 anime in this year.

I agree on the Jujutsu kaisen take, but Dandadan and CSM are more like "experimental" shonen and they do it fantastic. Why wouldn't people like good executed experimental shonen instead of just a strong guy beating anyone with the power of friendship?

Dandadan is hardly carried by its animation, so you lumping it in with the rest makes no sense. It’s a pretty unique show and most all the talk I hear about it is in regards to that.

Also ironic that you mention those shows being mid and carried by animation, and then name the king of exactly that, Demon Slayer, as having the best episode of the year

No doubt frieren is masterpiece because of its unique animation and a new type of story
But dandadan also a 10/10 anime I know some people don't like it's animation or its ball related story
But for me Dandadan is masterpiece. This Anime cover so many genres , it is quite rare to see fusion of many genre and this anime and also anime know how to excute
This anime never fallen in its animation and story

Arcane is not an anime, and should not be considered a anime in my honest opinion arcane season two is nowhere near as good as the first season. The animation and fight scenes are excellent in season two but where arcane season two falls short is in its Writing season two is not bad. It’s a good season, but it is nowhere near as good as season one. And I wound up being extremely disappointing with season two

Frieren is a 10 out of 10 masterpiece I don’t think DANDADAN is a 10 but it’s a very solid nine and there are so many great animes out there. I can definitely tell you are a tourist because you didn’t mention any of the classics. or any other ones outside of the main stream heck you didn’t even mention Frieren

masterpieces can look and be completely different in execution and still be equally as good. I love Frieren. it's amazing, and I love it more and more when I rewatch it. The same goes for Dandadan, but similarly, both works are often ridiculed as average or even boring, which obviously makes no sense to someone who appreciates the anime for what it brings and how it's presents the story.

you may not see how great dandadan is, and may never will, but that's okay. Frieren has people who don't appreciate its beauty, but that doesn't mean you'll enjoy it any less, right? :) Oh, that reminds me, have you checked out the frieren online festival?

I was one shamelessly hyping this show based off the manga. Every one of my friends loved it. I think this manga and anime will be around for the long haul. It gives me One Piece vibes with the world building, but grounded by its characters. The fights/animation or characters/interactions appeal to normies, where the setting and world building appeal to the otaku js.

Well, You have to understand that there are different opinions. My opinion is that these 3 anime you listed here are NOT similar at all. Dandadan is peak even if it doesn't have good animation.

tbh the only trend i found is:

-An anime gets popular
-Recieves good rating in this database
-Ppl praise it
-A random user likes another show
-This random user doesnt like that their fav title doesnt get the same praise as this new title
-This random user proceeds to write a thread sh*tting on the title he doesnt like and always bring up the title they like (in this case arcane, could have been frieren, orb, etc.)
-cycle repeats

*The reality is ppl cant fathom that other ppl have diff tastes, its fine if you dont like it bro, you're simply not on the side of the majority (the people who liked the anime), and that's okay. But saying it's a trend and blah blah blah is honestly a pretty immature approach.

"carried by animation" holds less weight when the medium is animation no? Do you see films being dismissed as "carried by cinematography" or "carried by cgi" or "carried by acting"? It's simply one aspect that's the most blatantly obvious at a glance, so you people decide to surrender that point to justify dragging it down to the mud

You can just say "I don't like how X is sexualized", "I'm put off by manga readers hyping it up", or "while the backstories are cool, other parts don't sit well with me"

While I'm not the biggest fan of some aspects of dandadan, I'd have to admit, the backstories are at the very least, compelling enough. The art and direction in both the manga and anime are phenomenal. And just the concept of aliens and yokai is just something I'm surprised more people aren't doing (off the top of my head, I can only think of Haruhi atm)

I'm a boomer and most new shounen anime are generic or rehashed amalgamations of tropes and cliches but fanbases glaze over them as something revolutionary. Dandadan is the newest name in this long list of mediocrity. I mean Mob Psycho did it earlier and better without the dirty jokes. Aliens was an interesting idea and not much explored in the medium but Dandadan isnt doing anything with it either so far, they are just there to crack banana jokes at the moment.

These animes aren't original in anyway. Dandadan takes the same many themes from Mob Psycho 100 and others. Psychokinetic, aliens, charlatans, strong but timid teenager, raw animations. Yes, it's not the same thing and is a fine anime, but a little too much derivative and overrated, so do Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer (I didn't watch Chainsaw Man).

In my opinion the downside in jjk, csm and others is that they really feel like marvel movies in the past. A fun rollercoaster ride with insane visuals. But there's not that much depth or drama. All of them are packed with hype moments that give you dopamine. But at the same time there's not that much character development or some deep themes that make you think about it.

@TheDreamWeaver99

So you think just because Mob Psycho did it, Dandadan is your run-of-the-mill, standart Anime, we should be tired of?^^
Nah dude, that's just objectevely wrong. It brings enough to the table that Mob didn't, even if they share some similarities. If you watched both you know this.

The only thing that comes to mind, for you, to even compare it to is freakin' legendary Mob Psycho, from god damn Special-Tier-Animation Studio Bones. That alone speaks volumes, imo

What does "overrated" even mean, at this point?
Too many people liking it? It rising to popularity too quickly, for oldschool Anime-Fans to agree?
Isn't that a bit silly?

hmmm...i agree on JJK. JJK has been overhyped cause of gojo but when it comes to dandadan and CSM these two do explore newer themes. I'm no fan of dandadan, I sinply like thr animation and the OST but CSM really is a good piece of work. it explores dark themes and has a pathetic protagonist I somehow adore. I don't compare anime with western movies or shows since that's pointless. anime is different and western movies and animated shows are completely different.
your take on demon slayer ep 8 is accurate. that episode was probably one of the most beautifully made anime pieces I've seen. demon slayer overall eats up with animation and music
honestly I'm guessing it's like how trends go viral in general, anime too is being treated the same way. but I feel it's relatively the more younger and newer watchers of anime doing this. the older watchers have developed a taste, they have gone through varied shows, artwork and so on, so their palette is much more wider, whereas the newer ones have only known the fresh shows...with eye catching animation .
I personally feel, anime goes beyond animation.
I agree with your post. lol. dandadan has been really hyped up like hell.
I wonder if kagurabachi will receive the same treatment or Sakamoto days.

tbh DanDaDan isn’t anything toooo crazy good to me, but it feels a little unique based on the multiple elements of themes/genres it uses. I will admit I am a bit lost on the direction it’s headed in and I don’t jive well with the “humorous” assault scenes…

I do however LOVE Chainsaw Man and I think the themes and messages went over many people’s heads because they were too focused on sexualizing the characters, or not taking the assault on Denji seriously. Denji is a misunderstood MC with a lot of trauma that we haven’t fully uncovered, and it shows in the way he persistently pursues goals that he thinks he wants, but most of his goals form out of trauma responses and a deep sense of loneliness. Not to mention, Denji is easily manipulated and susceptible to unhealthy power dynamics due to his deep desires for connection, and in the pursuit of acceptance and love he is willing to overlook red flags in characters like Makima. The manga does a great job expanding on these ideas more in depth.

JJK is okay, I think it is more tailored to those who enjoy action and complex power systems (which I am not, but I can at least acknowledge it does a good job at this). There are some great side cast in the show too and it has a somewhat unique take on an MC of his character type.

There’s hype around new series but it isn’t all for bad or superficial reason as you suggest.

Learn proper english before attempting to have an opinion on what a good story is. If you don't even know how to type properly how do you expect others to take you seriously?

Arcane is not an anime, and should not be considered a anime in my honest opinion arcane season two is nowhere near as good as the first season. The animation and fight scenes are excellent in season two but where arcane season two falls short is in its Writing season two is not bad. It’s a good season, but it is nowhere near as good as season one. And I wound up being extremely disappointing with season two

man Ur totally right

Maybe you should watch product and make your own opinion first if others' opinions affect you so much.

@LucisCael having vinland's dick lodged at the back of your throat is even worse, its about time cornball vinland fans grew up.
