| That was honestly one of the most dramatic build-ups to hand-holding ever lol. My guy literally hung around waiting for Momo just so he could pull the “gentleman” card. Absolute flex. And we deserved more of that, not another round of Jiji screen-time ffs. There’s a reason that guy irritates many, meh. But hey, it’s plot-relevant, so we’re stuck with it. Things were bound to get messy once they decided not to exorcise Evil Eye, I mean. Still, this detour had its perks, we got the classic training arc… and I mean classic in the most literal, centuries-old sense lmao. Because apparently, in this series, “training montage” can mean resurrecting actual historical composers to coach Okarun. Out of the six ghostly maestros, I’m pretty sure at least three were Mozart, Schubert, and Beethoven… because of course they were. Seriously, things like these is why I love this series xD |

| Moe Moe Tri-Beam! Couldn't have cared less for the maid cafe part tbh. But the rest of the episode was pretty good. Wouldn't be a battle shounen without some sort of training session. And this wouldn't be Dandadan if nothing completely left field happened xD The entrance of music room portraits was a lot harder in the manga tho   |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This anime never failed to amuse me! Lol! This episode was very good!  |
| Good episode as always. I have been waiting for that Moe Moe Tri-beam for far too long but it finally got animated. Another thing I was waiting for to get animated was where Momo spit water at Evil Eye while they were in the Cursed House. ANOTHER thing I am excited for the training, which will be awesome. I don't want to wait a week for it. 5/5 |
Just another normal day in the Ayase family household, repressed emotions and all. It ain't much, But it's honest work, deez |

| Seeing everyone show up at Momo’s job and mess with her was so funny, the Moe tri beam scene was really cute and then the most epic handholding scene you’ll ever see 😂 I love Momo and Okarun sm they mean everything to me! That’s like two out of the last three episodes we’ve got cute handholding scenes from them. Then.. the author did what he does best, putting Momo in yet another sexually compromising situation.. or at least one that certainly had that imagery. Thankfully Momo was smart and had some water in her mouth, but it definitely felt like something snapped in Okarun this time around. Unlike the usual evil eye transformation gimmick, he was completely powerless to stop him from hurting the girl he loves and that’s gotta be so deflating. Even turbo-granny felt bad and that’s why she’s giving Okarun a training arc! I really like how human they’re making Seiko feel during this arc too. The way she’s grappling with wanting to let Jiji learn to control evil eye on his own vs sealing him.. it’s sweet how she really wants to respect his autonomy. She’s a very kind and thoughtful person! Where tf did the spirit of Beethoven spawn from lmao, next episode should be fun |

| What a weird episode. Absolutely all over the place, the relationships/interactions don't work, and then like... half of it is a slideshow. What saves it are some of those stills: exterior and interior locations both are very nicely done (excellent lighting - or lack thereof!); the soundtrack is great (though part of it is classics); and that Seiko-Manjiro exchange was poignant. That is all though. I mean, sneaking into school to make a point with a metronome? When there's smartphones everywhere. Really? |

| Dandadan has to be like one the greatest shows wielding a foreshadowing element in their writing arsenal. I swear the piano from the earlier part of the episode has a 70 bpm which okarun was told he was at. Only for that to be told is what he needs to work on. Its making me want to dive even deeper and see if I did miss anything. Alis, I have nor the time or patience for such activity. But I do understand that turbo granny is making an effort to help train the kid. But that coming about from the dynaimic crisis kinda makes me question what the purpose is. I understand that jiji is a talented/natural spiritual user but makes me wonder what the clash is between him and Okarun. Jiji felt guily, it wasnt his fault. And Okarun felt weak, also not his fault. So, why introduce a foiling conflict to the mix. Where Okarun wants to be strong enough to match evil eye, and where Jiji feels the same. But need their interaction to be completely awkward. It must be something to do with being teenagers. Feeling guilty and wanting to solve all the problem on your own, with you two mangled hands. Aside from that, I think Okarun and Momo are dating OOOOO, they're so adorable. And Jiji is making effortless progress, ma man knows no bounds. All that rambling is fresh off the dom. Those were my though processes, not in that order, when watching this weeks episode. Cant wait for next weeks. I think will only have 4 more after next week T-T im gonna miss this show. Rating time. 10/10 overall but Plot: 10/10 I love the music aspect of this whole arc, the band, the piano, and think there's evil eyes theme that kinda matches wanting to play as a kid somewhere in there. Theme: 10/10 I didnt anticipate the level of micro-detail, beautiful. Characters: 9/10 I understand that they feel guilty, and Jiji must feel HELLA guilty but man AWKWARDNESS makes me upset. But its for the plot OST: 10/10 beep boop 4/4 OverAll: 10/10 Yeah I liked this episode. JOLLY GOOD SHOW Anyway, I gotta leave now. BYEEEEE |
TOP FIVE THIS SEASON
|
| Maid momo kawaii. Moe moe kyun! Another crazy ending. |
 |
| I'm not sure how to put it, but the pacing of season 2 seems different from the first season, and I don't mean that in a bad way. It just feels like I'm watching a different Dandadan |
| Momo sad that Okarun didn't stayed 5 hours staring at the cafe. If Okarun kept at the farm he would become very bulky. 7 episodes, 7 episode waiting Aira's Silky transformation. |
 |
| fun episode to watch, I really want to see the next one or maybe the one after that, it's going to be a phenomenal fight |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| aww shuckss i hoped cafe scene would be longer .. so we got a much needed power upgrade incoming, and okarun might not need that extra strength for jijis sake. since he looked so guilty with what evil eye did to momo and granny, bro might train extra hard and control evil eye by him self. andd we got musical legends yokai. lmaoo |
 |
| Give me more of Ayase and Okarun wholesome moments 🫶💘💖💖 Being a maid at a restaurant is never an easy job. That was so tiring just to watch. Trying your best to force a smile on face 😭😭 We knew that Okarun would never leave his girl hanging. Again, another lewd hand holding..cute❤️😂😂 Things suddenly took a turn for the worse with the Evil Eye coming out once again. Too bad that things have become awkward between Jiji and Okarun now..🥺🥺 Looks like our boi Okarun is gonna train with the ghost of Beethoven now. ❤️🔥❤️🔥 |

| @Rom-Com_lover yeah, I feel the same. I'm not saying that season 2 isn't good but season 1 was really something.. |
| Hmm didn't think that maid cafe's were that popular among women. Still the cafe was a great place for her first part time job. Jiji's making some impressive progress in his training. Close call for Momo there real close. But kinda sad to see the bond between Okarun and Jiji worsen. Been a while since i seen Aira transform still impaceful as ever. While the school is an interesting place to train the music room having that many spirits is pretty unsettling. |

| Instructions unclear, started throwing punches in 15/8 time. Hats off to Momo, slowly losing her will to live at the maid cafe. The friends will play wingman, but not before collecting their humiliation tax. Okarun, wanting to take on a training arc, is finally coming through, at least on the front of protecting Momo from Jiji. Jiji gains some self-awareness and is now even more motivated to suppress Evil Eye, and Aira finally remembers she has Silky's powers. Time to punch out Beethoven. |

| Evil Eye isn’t holding back his strength as he’s trying to kill Momo in cold blood so yeah of course her clothes are going to rip. I swear to god people better not take that as another “Dandadan rape” moment because he’s quite literally NOT trying to rape her. Like, objectively speaking it’s not even insinuated that those were his intentions. Anyway, Okarun is a real one for walking Momo home, their relationship is progressing nicely, you love to see it. This wouldn’t be Dandadan without something happening out of left field, this time it’s a battle against famous classical music composers. 💀 |

| Maid Momo is so cute even tho she's so terrible at it. Ig she would work much better if Okarun and the others didn't randomly visit her. But why the heck was she working till 10 PM? Isn't that a little late for minors? Anyway, loved seeing Okarun wait for her to walk back with her holding hands and all. I thought Jiji being able to hold back the Evil Eye was mighty impressive. But that bastard is evolving too. Momo could've died there. I guess Jiji feels really bad about it too. I hope they all can make up. Okarun going to the alien for training is so cool. Even though he declined, I feel like he's technically training him through all the hard labor. Reminds me of Goku and Korin. And with Turbo Granny improving his rhythm, he's going to get good in no time. Those music ghosts were so goofy I can't take them seriously at all. |

| Loved Momo's her workday montage, then it turns on a dime to an almost murder. Then it's Jiji feeling uncomfortable and Seiko lamenting how she can't find a way to help these kids. Now we're fighting Beethoven. How is it juggling character moments, drama, comedy, tension and ridiculous action so quickly? |
| Momo as maid is... cute. |
| Average myanimelist user Moe Moe Kikoho (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)  |
 |
| momo aka moe moe is cute her and okarun has a steady romance time for okarun and aira to train and be stronger  |
| It is Jijis fault for blocking the exorcism Nice Momo fan service |
 |
| I've never been much into the maid thing, too much otaku silliness for my liking, but God, Momo really can pull it off. |

| If anyone could help Okarun in his quest to get stronger, it'd be Turbo Granny. I'm not sure if those are ghosts or aliens at the end just yet, but it seems like this training session is turning classical. |

My god! This was as cute as it gets But Aira disapproves  Turbo Granny: You're too damn slow!!!  |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| both jojo reference and mozart reference what a banger |
