What an incredible episode, this has turned into a mecha anime. That nano-skin on Kinta's hands is an incredible weapon, capable of adapting to whatever he wants thanks to him being a sci-fi geek.

It was so sweet and a little heartbreaking to see Evil Eye so happy to finally be able to fight... only to have his heart broken when he realized that, after all, it wasn't fight day. Damn it, there's only one episode left!

A literate Godzilla reference where Okarun, Momo and Kinta are facing quite the Kaiju disaster of their lives, and it's not just them alone with Airi and Jiji as well.

For once, all 5 people working together is insane teamwork...at least when it comes to survivability, and confronting this Kaiju is all sorts of messed up. Even with Aira's Acrobatic Silky, Momo's psychic and Okarun's Turbo Granny transformation, nothing is working against the Kaiju, not if there's specifics for a strong knockback against the space alien creature who can also act like a chameleon in invisibility, further adding to the complexity of the battle.

Meanwhile, Jiji and Kinta being together, and the drops of the latter's sweat turning the former into Evil Eye, he made it in the nick of time with the absolute insane throw of the school bags alright, leaving enough space for Momo, Okarun and Aira to escape to her place. However, Momo having other ideas for Evll Eye to engage with the Kaiju instead, and Okarun stops her before pushing the agenda further. As expected, the Kaiju comes finding them, and Okarun coming up with the idea to use the aliens' nanoskin that now make up the Ayase house, who'd think that Kinta would use that imagination (with Momo's aid) to turn the house into a literate Gundam Buddha mech.

What now, if the Buddha mech can't do shit against the Kaiju?

Fucking AMAZING EPISODE!

I am a little excited to see all of this power ranger type of battle to play out. The Amount of detail this episode was kept to a minimum and purely focused on the fight scene. Im not much of understanding characters intentions, mindset, motive, or be able to understand the thought process through their fighting visuals. Like naruto, one piece, bleach, dbz, and many more shonen including this one (dandadan) have characters fighting to convey the characters personality. Anyone who can describe it thought please, I would love to be read about it.

Moving on, I found myself laughing more at this episode than the last one. In comparison, it seemed like the 5 of them are a real oil machine, even if Kinta was just introduced. Him having the 'Sci-fi' knowledge is what makes him useful in the group moving forward, i guess? But seeing it as, "he's just a fan of power rangers" or "he's a big fan of Ultra-man" would still work for me. Considering those shows are around the idea of fighting Kaiju Level threat by transforming into a BIG ASS robot. I mean, not to tot my own horn but I did call that element out last week. HEHE.

REGARDLESS, BIG ROBOT FIGHTING INCOMING NEXT WEEK!! LETSGO!!!!

The fight against not-Godzilla was great, Momo and Aira arguing the whole time while fighting is really on-brand at this point. I feel like Evil Eye could have defeated it if he were allowed to, though I can't say for certain. I knew what was coming when the house started glowing and got real excited.

So I find this episode interesting because Okarun could've easily swayed Evil Eye to fighting with them as he's probably the only one who could take on the Kaiju. Like, what's the point of having him turn if he isn't going to fight?

Aira and Kinta were annoying this episode. Didn't enjoy it that much because of them.
Next (and final) episode's premise sounds promising asf.

What a banging episode, with Aria basically carrying the fight against the SPACE KAIJU at the start of the episode which was nice to see.

But the giant mecha is here and looking glorious, I cannot wait for next weeks episode :}

Ok… Buddha Voltron was hilarious AND kinda badass, and the animation was crazy this episode. Aira doing acrobatics like she’s auditioning for Cirque du Soleil, Evil Eye just chilling thinking about murder as always, and Okarun still being the designated driver. Even Kinta ‘helped’ for once—like wow, character development, he finally did something other than be annoying 💀. Peak episode.

@MentalAvery

Horns look cool in the manga. And honestly, gojira doesn't look nearly as corny - overall - as in the anime. I feel like I'm looking at an accordion in the tv show

Two pretty bad episodes here recently. First the classical musicians episode. Now this really boring "fight" with a giant accordion. Link hair girl is awful in her special mode. The action was terrible enough, but the dialogue was even worse. The only thing she adds to the series - at all - is when the main chick argues with her and calls her skank or whatever

How can this show be this good?!

The animation was out of this world smooth and beautiful for a TV anime. Aira's movements and the meccha assembling were especially impressive!

I also greatly enjoyed the humor and character touches, such as Jiji and the perv's interactions, or the insults between Momo and Aira on the battlefield.

Immediately when Okarun talked about imagining something big, I knew it would be a meccha. And I love them, too, so I'm really excited for the fight! After Yaiba's kaiju fights, we get one in DanDaDan, it's a dream come true!

Dandadan episode 11 goes full throttle into action: Okarun and Momo run from Kaiju that destroys everything in its sight, Aira tries to fight with her Sindel hair acrobatics, while Jiji carries new nerd out of harms way. Kids quickly realize they are not stopping Godzilla with their tricks, so they got no choice but retreat home. Okarun figures out how cool nanomaterials can help and Kinta uses his nerd imagination to form a giant "Buddhatron". In this thing, fighting Kaiju seems more doable IF they figure out how to control it before monster reaches Grandma's house.
The show consistently brings exciting pace, funny jokes, bombastic visuals and music. Can't wait for the clash of titans in the finale.

Mecha vs Kaiju?!! Yesss, this Anime cannot stop from being peak after peak. Def, the best sequel of the year.

it's still kind of odd that Kinta didn't disappear with everyone else when the alien kaiju came
is he already magical somehow?
all he has is sci-fi knowledge
