Very nice. I didn't thought things for Jiji would turn this way. I'm really hyped to see what will happen next.

What a great episode! The yokai's backstory was tragic; the way he looked at the other kids playing almost brought tears to my eyes. I was really naive, too, because I didn't trust Granny's advice when she cautioned Jiji, but Baba knows best, I guess.

Jiji was the GOAT, this time around! The way he protected Okarun and Momo, and tried to help the yokai; he was a real class act. And he looks so cool when possessed! He has a nice body, too. :)

Sad backstory for "Evil Eye".
Darn Jiji was so strong with "Evil Eye" power.

This show is full of style and incredibly enjoyable. This show is so colorful and leaves me with so much joy every time I see it. Other than the animation I find the humor to actually be funny which is something that animes struggle to do for me personally. This show is incredible and my only critique is that one of the shows main protagonist is bland as fuck, but other than that incredible

Knew this one was coming and how dark it was going to be. A lot of screwed up stuff has happened in this village. Jiji is too good of a person to let someone suffer alone, even if it's an evil spirit. The Evil Eye form he gets is incredibly cool, its design is reminiscent of One Punch Man character designs to me.

The suicide powers are cancelling each other out, lmao.

No way Jiji also got a powerup.

Curious how this goes. The show is a wild ride for sure.

This episode has even more action than the last one. Momo and Okarun fall under the influence of the giant worm’s sound waves, driving them to the brink of madness and even suicidal thoughts, but are saved by Jiji. A new Yokai, called the "Evil Eye" by Turbo Granny, appears to stop the fight with the worm. Evil Eye possessed Jiji, and Jiji saw his life being depressing as he was imprisoned and used as a sacrifice. After he comes a ghost, he still wants to play with other kids, but he accidentally causes the kids' parents to commit suicide. Deeply affected by this tragic history, Jiji dives into the ancient, crumbling abyss of abandoned homes to locate Evil Eye’s original body, which had been sealed away for centuries.

Meanwhile, Evil Eye's presence helps snap Momo and Okarun out of their trance. They are helping Jiji to fight the worm, but they are overwhelmed because the worm can regenerate itself even after being beheaded. After finding Evil Eye's human body that has been trapped at the bottom, Jiji offers to be his friend and play with him, causing Evil Eye to fully possess Jiji's body. Evil Eye with the new body overpowers the giant worm easily by kicking its curse energy ball like a football towards it. Jiji also turns to attack Momo as he doesn't have control of his body. Turbo Granny, while in her cat form, doesn't have access to her full power, so she is unable to help. Okarun suddenly gets back from his wounded state, saves Momo from Evil Eye. The next episode will be Okarun vs Evil Eye, the battle of Yokais. Okarun's love for Momo is unmatched; they are the best.

I’m starting to wonder if the Yukais in Dandadan can actually show humans a false version of the past. When the grandma mentioned that the Yukai already had his eye on Jin before, it made me think: what if the Yukai showed him a version of events that wasn’t entirely true? Just to gain his sympathy

The outstanding animation and the beautiful soundtrack combined with the new added scenes elevates this show from the manga, which creates are much more fun experience. As well as that all of this combined with the characters and their relationships keeps watchers intrigued with the balance of romance and action. This is making this show very special and making it have a promising future for the rest of the show.

Jiji went full Inazuma Eleven mode and Momo tried to block his shot with her God Hand, nice reference if it was intentional.

I’m not really a fan of Dandadan to be honest, and to be even more honest—I just don’t enjoy watching it! I generally don’t lean toward action anime, especially the loud, chaotic ones… That’s why I didn’t watch the second episode when it aired. But luckily, I watched it now—so I can go straight from episode 2 to episode 3.

I didn’t capture any frames from the episode, as I mentioned before, I’m not into this kind of anime... But but but—wait a second...

A moment of praise...

This anime absolutely deserves any praise or compliments it receives. The bizarre art style! The powerful direction! The uniquely designed characters! The episode’s pacing! The variety in visual and audio scenes—wow, wow, wow! I can’t deny this is one of the strongest and best productions of the year. Even if it’s not to my personal taste—even if the anime doesn’t suit me—Dandadan is undoubtedly one of the best anime out there! I want to praise it even more...

But let’s move on to episode 3! I won’t wait a whole week, since I watched episode 2 late—let’s jump into the comments for episode 3.

Always entertaining and good with great animation, very nice episode. Seems like the vulcano problem was a real thing after all and the worm was likely connected to it. Okarun´s punches were amazing to watch, funny and vibrant (well, the whole series has vibrant quality colorful tones)

Now this is how you do hype action scenes! Okarun and Momo are perfect shounen protagonists. Bums like Sung Jin-Woo wish they had half the aura of Momo and Okarun

Can't believe that a terrifying figure like the Evil Eye also has a sad backstory—that he was once locked up alone and used as an offering for the Great Serpent Lord. So looks like it's true; the cruel and evil ones are the Kito family. Hey wait, what about the Evil Eye? It doesn't seem like he's on Momo's side, but neither is he on the earthworm's side. Don't tell me his sad background was just made up so that Jiji would help? Yooo, this is getting interesting like fr!

Bro did the double trickery. At first, I was like, dang that's a bad guy there. Then flashback and I was like, oh he isn't a bad guy. Then BOOM he's actually bad. Pretty cool character designs overall as well. That's gotta be my favorite part about this show.

Holy fire episode, i didn't expect all the twists and reveals from both Jiji and Evil Eye's backstory's. Kinda cool to see two new entity's in one arc again especially when they both negate each other's abilities.

Originally i was quite iffy about Jiji's character, but watching him stick his neck out so much for Momo and Okarun and saving them from the worms influence had me respecting him so much more, even more so when he sympathised with Evil Eye's backstory even if it meant he'd be possessed. Seeing Evil eye who i thought was the original antagonist, kinda act like Jiji's guardian angel was also a really cool scene.

Ending was fire, animation the entire ep was really good and ending with a gigachad possessed Jiji folding the worm and finally crossing with an empowered Okarun, amazing final scene.

That could be the most tragic backstory in this anime, but one has to question just how much of it is true. Either way, it worked and we're gonna see Okarun vs Evil Eye in the next episode. It better not disappoint.
