Hype! I'm so glad it's back! Momo's fight was awesome and the show did a great job making the Kitos look creepy as hell. Also loved the sort of throat singing sound in the background after the Mongolian Death Worm woke up.

New OP is pretty good, very catchy and I expect it to grow on me. Nothing can really compare to Creepy Nuts, but that's okay. ED though was a banger. I loved the cute dancing each character did

Sooo I am glad I didn’t go to the theatre for this so far.

Seems the scheduling is hurting the anime a bit but I have faith they will do it justice because they showed how much they loved the source material in season 1, something a lot of animes today wish they had (looking at you, sakamoto days, yes I am annoyed by it because I loved the source material)

Anyways I am hyped to see what will they do with The Fight, iykyk. Looking forward to it, eventhough it seems it won’t be in next 2 episodes but I can wait.

This episode is disgusting because of the character design of the grandparents. Thank you turbo grandma, even though you are tsundere but you always protect girls from danger.

At first I thought that the room in Jiji's house penetrated into the hot spring and momo's survival was due to the plot armor that was accidentally destroyed because okarun felt the evil air from the room. BUT IN FACT, turbo's grandmother secretly sneaked to come to the hot spring, and thanks to that momo was saved.

the scene visits the temple to see the legendary snake although it seems comedic but there are things that can be learned.

then when momo entered Jiji's house I was afraid that momo would not be able to do anything but it turned out that momo was good at fighting, who would have thought? so far we have only been shown the power of telekinesis, it turns out that she has enough martial arts to fight many people at once with a combination of her telekinesis powers. and when momo was pressed, again turbo's grandmother saved her. she was really mvp in this episode, of course momo also deserves her spotlight because she has tried so far to fight the old man alone.

To be honest this episode felt long, I thought it would be over in the middle of the road after momo was bounced into a strange room, but it turns out it still continues until we see a giant worm alien that has been fed by a strange family for 200 years. But my question is, why are there so many houses there? Did the worm swallow some of the houses that were previously around the altar?

And I've also guessed that the alien has no thoughts, of course I'm relieved to see the death of the freak out, but now they are in bigger trouble. okarun and momo were exposed to the worm ray that made them become strange, my theory is that it's a ray that only has an effect if it has power, therefore jiji is not affected. and for future episoe, will jiji's seeds be eaten by okarun? lmao

oh yeah, that grandma is really good at fighting lol, she has no spiritual powers but can do all those crazy things.

Ah yes, my favorite "what the heck is even happening any more?" anime.

The animation was stellar this episode, as usual for Dandadan. The Mongolian Death Worm was truly animated like a godly being. The sound design was great as well; it's really intense and consistently otherworldly.

The OP and ED are both visually incredible. The songs are also decent; they aren't seared into my brain yet, but I'm sure they will be by the end of this season.

Hell yeah!!! DANDADAN IS BACK!
WOW. The second opening still oozes the creativity juice in all of its visuals! The song is actually still pretty good. It exceeded my expectations.

These assholes, the landlords and their sons, are just so bad..

Momo Ayase.. you go girl!

JENNIFER LOPEZ ANACONDA!
Here it is, the Great Serpent Lord!

A cute ED. But, this song is not as groovy as the previous one for sure. But I love their dances!
From the looks of it, I guess we will have a school festival arc.

I LOVE how they named this Dandadan S2 instead of Dandadan S1 P2
So tired of that convention

I'm going to say what everyone is thinking. The second season OP and EN suck compared to the catchy OP and ED that the first season has. I was bopping to the first season's OP and EN, but theses I feel nothing. This season already doesn't feel as fun and goofy as the first season. What made the first season feel special is the goofy and fun and unpredictable nature of it compared to other shows that have came out recently. I will still give this season a chance and I want to see the DanDaDan story to conclude, but if this anime series ends up like One Punch Man where it disappointed fans the second season then maybe you should try going back to the basic writing that the first season had. It could just be this arc, but this arc was a terrible way to begin the season especially people who haven't watched season one since it came out. It's a 7/10 so far hopefully it improves on me and becomes a 10/10 season like the first.

Dandadan is back!
Exciting return to the show after a lackluster cliffhanger. The episode quickly introduces new lore and throws heroes into a fun slapstick action before ending on an intense(more tasteful) note. New songs are not as catchy as 1st opening, but still a fun addition to Dandadan's upbeat soundtrack. Animators did a great job illustrating manga's comedic atmosphere. Glad the show moved past nasty old dudes and took the next step towards new interesting discoveries.

love that new opening theme. It's so beautiful Im glad this show is back Im excited to see where this season goes. I look forward to reading. I think nows the time to read more and catch up as much as I can. This story was made to be animated. It's just that good. It's cool when such a good story is made so well and it's really popular and gets love. Thats a total 10

The episode was alright and enjoyable. I also missed Momo.

The OP was alright, but it doesn't hold a candle to the OP from S1. I didn't like the ED that much, the song is kinda boring, but it isn't horrible either.

@Ahohite-killer because very likely she will appear (as herself) only in the end of the season.

Considering that 1 season covers exactly 4 volumes (and like 2 chapters of 5th) of the manga, and that Vamola appears only in the middle of 9th volume…
I’m almost certain that we will see her, but like in the last 5 minutes. It’s very likely she will be the next cliffhanger of this season.

i alos thought that but I really thought they would have teased her somewhere in the into or outro even if just for a second 🫤

I'm glad this is back and it's weirder than ever, these boomer youkai legit were hilarious especially the mom, animationwise still Saru tier and i really like that urban boonies vibe this arc gives, can't believe i missed this show that much but it sure is entertaining!

Also opening is decent, not as good as the first one but ending is already best of the season? (for now)

Masterpiece of a prologue. First of all, I'm really glad Momo's okay, but what's up with those Kito guys trying to assault her every single time they have her restrained? It's like they've never seen a young woman before. Shouldn't this be a fight, not a creep-fest?

Speaking of fighting, I certainly did NOT expect Momo to be that skilled, i was genuinely impressed. She was absolutely wrecking the Kito men left, right, and center, until that Kito hag jumped into the mix. Speaking of the Kito hag, gotta hand it to her though, she's as hilarious as she is deadly.

The Kito old hag aside, that cliffhanger genuinely scared the hell out of me. Ken suddenly roaring at Jin like some FNAF jumpscare? What the hell happened to him? He even looked like Turbo Granny when she first appeared too, for some reason. Either way, I seriously can’t wait for the next episode!

Episode 1 was so awesome!! I’ll admit the Sexual Assault being in the episode twice made me really uncomfortable but the fight scenes were on point and the landlords scene right before the big reveal of the “Serpent God” was peak!!! Science Saru cooks again!

Still preferred the last episode or two to somehow be the start for this season since this does feel like a bizarre place for a new season to start off with tbh. Rest of the episode was fine and brought the Dandadan weirdness and dumbness that I expected, looks good too. Season has room to grow. OP is a lot weaker than the first one to be honest, that part is kind of a shame.

Momo x Attempted rape in a season premiere. Best pairing ever.

Anyways, good to have this show back. I remember enjoying S1 quite a bit so I now look forward to seeing what this sequel has in store for us.
Also, Jiji owning a Messi poster is absolutely based.

This started as abruptly as it ended. This is such a great adaptation, that is ruined by bad management. First was the way it ended mid season. They should have made it 12 episodes if they couldn't produce a whole 24 series at once as it should have been. Now, half a year later, you start the season as if last episode aired the week prior. Cut the damn outro, and give a small recap. I don't even know if they cut content, or Momo fought those guys the prior episode. Shit like this made this anime lose momentum.
