Well, that abrupt season 1 cliffhanger seemed even more of a letdown... at least until the second half.

Best part was obviously watching Momo kicking ass, even if her opponents aren't weak material. Kito family seemed way too friendly, and in fact...


OP did the opposite for me than the corresponding from season 1, where i thought the first half was cool and the second weak. ED... Already the best theme of this series for both music and visuals.
(save your time and don't try to comfort when i rant on casual discussion or forum games, feel free to ignore me, i won't take it personally)

A recape would've been nice. I remember Okarun and Jiji staying at that house, but I don't remember what they set out to do. Momo in the hot springs was a surprise though, same with those... humans? Spirits? Demons? Whatever they are. So far, so confused.

This episode felt like it was 5 minutes long... good to be back lol

It feels like it's been forever since the last season but it's only been like what 7 months? It feels good to finally watch this after the cliffhanger from the last episode!

I'm going to miss the old OP but the new one isn't like bad or anything, but definitely liked the first one more. Really like the new ED though! Going to look for the full song later tonight! Momo in the ED <3

We're left with a major cliffhanger in the previous season, and now we're back with a banger! Starting from the intro, which is completely different from before, this time not by Creepy Nuts. But that doesn't mean the OP is bad, aight? The fight with the Kitos is also very well animated; I really like the choreography. Man, just when things are getting more intriguing, we're left with yet another cliffhanger, like fr?!

I finally powered through Season 1 so I could dive right into the new episodes each week, and I’m so glad I didn’t have to wait six months for this. The Season 1 finale felt more like a cliffhanger than a proper ending, so it was great to pick up exactly where things left off.

The new opening and ending themes are solid. The OP doesn’t quite hit the same as the one from Season 1, but that’s okay. That first intro was iconic and set such a high bar, it was always going to be tough to match. I was a bit surprised Creepy Nuts didn’t return for this one (maybe they were busy with other projects) but I’m glad the new OP still hits and keeps the energy up.

As for the episode itself, it was pretty good. Nothing mind-blowing, but it set the stage well. I’m especially looking forward to the next one since it looks like we’re getting some big action scenes and maybe a deeper dive into some world/monster lore. Definitely excited to see where things go from here.

I felt like I was watching something between a satire on Junji Ito and a satire on how Japanese youth view their boomers. It seems like Japanese teenagers actually have something against midle aged Karen. Either way, season two clearly keeps up the good work and continues to feed me with its dose of absurd fun.

This show hits so hard. Great characters, great animation, great jokes, and great pacing. First episode of season 2 (yes yes, midway through an arc but whatever) absolutely nails all of the above.

Not bad, the animation Momo fighting that granny is great~
The Mito family have a gray color skin.... Made they look like a non human....
When those guys from Mito attacking Momo at the onsen.... It's kinda sad because that would make the previous female victim is raped/molested by them before giving them to that worm...
Shirtless Jiji is hot... His look is hot too. Ahaha.

OP song is quite okay... ED song is so-so.... The first cour OP an ED is still better if comparing. By looking at the OP and ED visual, that fat dude is finally making an appearance heh?

pretty good. I wish they kept the first opening though. I know that hasnt been the norm in the past 10ish years, but I really thought the Creepy Nuts OP was special enough to warrant it.

Watched the pre screening earlier. 3 episodes along with an directors interview where they talked about their thought process upon brining the manga to life.

Episode 1 was an alright start to this season. If there's a thing about the Kito's that's creepier than their looks, then it's their behaviour and practices. The shot of Momo walking in on Okarun and Jiji beat up by a bunch of aliens in loincloth looked just wrong, lol.

Where can I watch that interview?

They may upload it to Crunchyroll at one point. For now a quick search only led me to this recording

A dope first episode. I did watch a theatrical cut of the first 3 episodes in the cinema which was sick so I've already seen this on the big screen, but it was nice to watch it again at my own pace to catch all the details. Really enjoyed it with its steller animation and beautiful cinematography of course. The OP is good but didn't surpass Otonoke (which is really difficult of course) but the ED is really really fun. Excited for the rest of the season

Fun episode we're right back to where we left off. Hopefully it can continue being peak so far so good, with this episode. Also Momoji's fight with the dudes in the house was sick as hell. That fight was so clean then turned messy I love it. Also I love a good Jennifer Lopez anaconda reference.

And so, I'm finally watching the 2nd season of Dandadan and yeah, I'm pretty late as there are 2 episodes out as of rn.

Gotta say tho.. The Kito family really are a bunch of creeps from their looks and behaviour and I did get a bit nervous abt the Kito dude asking Jiji if he was a liar. Nextly, a new character being Manjiro wanting to be a Bootuber was kinda relatable since I've always dreamt of being an influencer myself, but I just don't have enough charisma and budget for it lololol.

What I gotta mention is Momo walking in on Okarun and Jiji taken out by a bunch of those Kito dudes in loincloth looked very sus asf lmaoooo. But yeah, the fight between Momo and the Kito granny were pretty peak and I'm expecting the 2nd episode to be animated well as well.

Ending scene with Okarun and Momo being disrupted by the sound waves except Jiji iirc from the manga since it's been while since I've read that chapter, then Okarun transformed into his what I call pseudo TG form then coming up to Jiji were a delight to watch since I don't think this was in the manga so it's an anime extension and I liked and respected it!

It's next episode time!

@itss_rat04 Do people actually see the multiple fairly explicit (for broadcast tv) rape scenarios in Dandadan as "fan service" or something? I think there are some later parts of the Dandadan manga that are weirdly fan servicey but the Serpoians and the Kito family stuff feel like they're pretty clearly not supposed to be titillating. It feels pretty brain broken to be like "There's five jacked mutant guys assaulting this teenager but she's in a towel so clearly this must be supposed to be arousing" when its actually supposed to be alarming.

Anyway, great start to the new season. I remember really loving this arc because it sets up some clear villains and has good structure. Early Dandadan is cool but even within the Turbo Granny arc it gets kind of aimless immediately. Not that the show doesn't have other merits but personally I think it goes to another level with proper "lets fight this villain" structure.

And the Kito family looks really good animated. They're bizarre and menacing in the manga but making them grey with grey blood adds another layer to it beyond their inexplicable toughness, bizarre behaviour, and weird smiles. Maybe some people could see it as too obvious a marker but its not like a lot of time was wasted showing that they're messed up monster bad guys anyway.

Peak is back jumping right to where we left off at the end of S1 with Momo and Okarun visiting Jiji's place. The Kito's are crazy something about their design and color palette. Love the songs for this season as well even though not as popular/catchy as S1

I've loved Dandadan from episode one, but for the first time I'm left with a bad taste in my mouth. Didn't enjoy seeing Momo dealing with those creeps right from the get go.

I'm glad to see the return of Dandadan, after the cliffhanger of last season's ending it was needed ASAP. She's lucky Turbo Granny snuck along XD that whole onsen attack may as well have been a doujin setup. Let the whole place fall apart to save her 🫡

For the onsen guys to be related to his ghost group 😔 really connecting them all.

Momo is the goat 🙏 she can fight her share. And Auntie ghost got moves XD frfr. Female Jackie Chan ghost. These guys don't play around.

Rip Turbo Granny powers making him.. hungry for that. Classic Dandadan. But overall, hyped for this show 👏
