It's the best anime episode I've seen all year!! I never imagined seeing X Japan performing an exorcism in an anime episode... I screamed, I laughed, I got excited, it was literally the meme that his head explodes... 10/10 (just take all my money).

MAN WHAT'S X JAPAN DOING IN MY ANIME?! 🤣 Can't even deny it with those names - Patarson, Yoshikichi, Toshiro, Hideji. And Hayashi? Really? 🤓 Would've been cool with some actual music too... 🫶🏻 I mean, not bad at all, but... not it either. More like a tribute band.
@yellowheartren The details of the names are there to leave no doubt, but what I loved was how identical the members' personalities were: Toshi (screamer and effusive), Pata (always quiet), Hide (acting funny with the guitar), and Yoshiki (shirtless, with his characteristic collar, and shaking his head non-stop). I loved it.

@Mainnus What was the song and band who actually wrote the song from the '80s? I really liked it!
@popa910 buddy, this is an original song from the anime, but they're inspired by the band X Japan (a very famous Japanese visual kei band). The amine's song is very similar to "Kurenai," and also to "Silent Jealousy." If you liked the anime performance, I recommend "Kurenai," the version by The Last Live.

Dandadan has everything! Good romance, funny comedy and even peak songs now. I was completely caught off-guard with the song.
BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity.

In Nippon, we trust.

We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本

I didn't expect this exorcism song to be this good, not to mention those visuals during their performance was amazing.

Now Momo is caught in a real pickle. This should prove to be interesting since the challenge is not even the spiritual/alien kind. :)

I find it cool how they guys they hired for this can't even see spirits but they're music is still able to reach them during the exorcism.

The exorcism song reminded me of the Shadow Queen summoning her hands. That is peak! Funny segment at the end seeing Okarin try to reject dating 2 girls. Lol

Ohhhhh so that's why Momo is in a maid outfit in the ED... <3


But I really liked Aira in this episode. So many sides of her that just made her even more adorable ;) snoring in her sleep, that ugly face when she yawned after waking up, her super “Aira” morning routine, the way she give extra rice just for Okarun, how she’s always scolding Jiji whenever he lost control, how she ended up getting swept up in the hype and enjoying Hunting Soul… and her realistic take on Jiji’s wish to keep the Evil Eye. Honestly, if Aira had a beauty channel, I’d totally subscribe.

@hanakocheeks same! I think she was really cute this episode. Love how loud she was snoring and I loved her morning routine. I'm so happy she's back :)

Welp, Jiji's instant Evil Eye transformation nearly wiped out the entire house...though one group of lunatics finding their place to do the hayashi performance, and their name: HAYASii, it does not get any better reference than this.

The Back to the Future reference at the beginning for HAYASii...the metal rock band sure delivered for the exorcism in pure X Japan style and in the most ravish way possible extracting Evil Eye from Jiji, honestly, they need not go this down bad, but Science SARU just went above and beyond for a needlessly extravagant exorcism that Turbo Granny eventually ended up cancelling it and allowing Evil Eye into her family.

After quite the extensive "repair" to the house, getting Jiji to train using his Evil Eye power is but a necessity, as is going to the toilet at night, but with supervision from anyone responsible at any time. The importance of a single cool droplet now becomes a warning sign for Okarun, as is learning that money alone doesn't make Turbo Granny satisfied by them just simply looking out for each other. Even in the morning, from Aira's full-on facial to the breakfast that her looking out for everyone (except Momo), it's tiring work...and Momo opting for a part-time job, to have her friends escort Okarun (with nowhere to run) to the maid café to see their good friend at work, it's embarrassment in full tension lol.

What a hodgepodge of an episode, but I'm not complaining if this is just standard Dandadan at its finest.

Man, I just can't get into season two. The metal band was a bit too silly for me but sort of cool. The rest of the episode dragged even though I usually love slice of life stuff. I think it's that the focus lately is Jiji, and the Momo x Okarun romance has taken a backseat. The end of this one makes me think it's coming back though, at least.

This episode was really something else.

I am a metal fan and the Hayashi Music performance to Exorcise Evil-Eye from Jiji was so iconic!
Will jam to that song in the future again
