So you think just because Mob Psycho did it, Dandadan is your run-of-the-mill, standart Anime, we should be tired of?^^
Nah dude, that's just objectevely wrong. It brings enough to the table that Mob didn't, even if they share some similarities. If you watched both you know this.

The only thing that comes to mind, for you, to even compare it to is freakin' legendary Mob Psycho, from god damn Special-Tier-Animation Studio Bones. That alone speaks volumes, imo

What does "overrated" even mean, at this point?
Too many people liking it? It rising to popularity too quickly, for oldschool Anime-Fans to agree?
Isn't that a bit silly?


No, I didn't said that Mob Psycho 100 is the only reason. And I was not talking only of animation. I was talking about the mixture of genres and the ethos behind them.

Psychic and occultistic stuff, mixed with alien and teen-scholastic comedy, a protagonist with a similar personality to Shigeo, of course there are many differences and Mob Psycho is not old school, it ended just a few years ago. Mob Psycho 100 demonstrated that even an anime without any pretension can have subtle and original food for thought united with easy entertainment, the major problem with Dandadan, at least in the first season, I don't know in the next season, is that the food for thought is almost inexistent, then has not the eclecticism required to a true masterpiece.

Overrated means that there is not a just proportion between quality and valutations, not that an overrated anime is necessarily bad. 1st season of Dandadan is not bad, is just too hyped.

@LucisCael having vinland's dick lodged at the back of your throat is even worse, its about time cornball vinland fans grew up.

Vinland and Goonslop Man are probably the most overglazed stories we have seen this decade. With both being basically just a dumb person's idea of what a deep story is.

I think you're touch on a lot of good points
All these Anime are curated products for the market that are all overrated in their own right (Only Jujutsu Kaisen cristallized itself as a 'classic') coupled with the consciousness of mindless bullshit consumption and therefore absolute overdose of pretension (Dandadan more so than the other two)

I dont know much about the train hype around the anime.
I read the manga first until umbrella boy arc, before knowing it gonna be adapted into anime.
Some arc are boring as fuck, not gonna lie.
But other part is good and funny, as typical battle shounen peak.
The drawing is so detailed and well put, at the same time their face are like Demon Slayer 2.0 .
I think the animation live up the original drawing height.

Agree, 7/10.

@riqmoran as far as being the biggest piece of pretentious garbage in the last decade goes, then sonny boy managed to top even vinland. the cornballs really ate that one up and even madhouse couldn't save the experience because they were too busy trying too hard to make it look artistic for the tiktok edgelords.

It's a contender for sure, but i'd say that honor goes to the totally vacuous Look Back, coincidentally also written by the fraudulent Fujimoto. They need to stop wasting talent adapting his garbage stories.

But One Piece has them both beat when it comes to being the absolute worst. Because unlike the other two, One Piece is downright hideous with no redeeming qualities. Genuinely the worst art ever animated.

Dandadan was really mid for me. Aside from Momo being an interesting character, I can't understand why people are loving this show so much. It's a 6/10 for me

@riqmoran now you're just being unapologetically braindead because neither look back nor one piece are series made for the pretentious edgelords the way sonny boy is, so you're just having a meltdown with your 'random bullshit go' examples, and it's hilarious to see especially considering one piece didn't even come out in the last decade. at least ping pong the animation or odd taxi would've made some sense as examples, but no you went with one piece LMFAO it's evident that you don't even know what you're talking about and only replied to seek attention. sonny boy is not a contender there, it's second to none and the appalling visuals that failed their try-hard artistic approach makes it ironic lol.

Sexual jokes are still funny. Just cause the woke community can't handle them doesn't mean sex doesn't sell. Y'all can bitch and whine until you drop, it isn't ever gonna change.

i think the anime industry works different nowdays in the west: the anime is more popular in mainstream so the fandoms and his wish of growing are more big, it's expected. Also in the past, shows like SAO are really mid to me and was popular af in mainstream. Also, fujimoto and all his depravation / insanity are trendy and influential for an entire generation, someone that everyone must accept, it will be one of the most important figures in manga / anime in history for all the things (bad or not) that spreaded in the medium.
Arcane isn't anime, is a western european animation but netflix putted the label because people in the west would think it's a kids show if don't have the "anime" label, because anime is ten times more present & diverse than arcane in the internet so this is the sad part for me in the industry: but anyways, things of the life.

hmmm...i agree on JJK. JJK has been overhyped cause of gojo but when it comes to dandadan and CSM these two do explore newer themes. I'm no fan of dandadan, I sinply like thr animation and the OST but CSM really is a good piece of work. it explores dark themes and has a pathetic protagonist I somehow adore. I don't compare anime with western movies or shows since that's pointless. anime is different and western movies and animated shows are completely different.
your take on demon slayer ep 8 is accurate. that episode was probably one of the most beautifully made anime pieces I've seen. demon slayer overall eats up with animation and music
honestly I'm guessing it's like how trends go viral in general, anime too is being treated the same way. but I feel it's relatively the more younger and newer watchers of anime doing this. the older watchers have developed a taste, they have gone through varied shows, artwork and so on, so their palette is much more wider, whereas the newer ones have only known the fresh shows...with eye catching animation .
I personally feel, anime goes beyond animation.
I agree with your post. lol. dandadan has been really hyped up like hell.
I wonder if kagurabachi will receive the same treatment or Sakamoto days.

I feel your frustration because I felt something similar after watching Chainsaw Man. That's why I didn't watch Dandadan. I came across this topic because I was thinking if I really want to watch it.

But about the frustration, in my opinion it revolves around some aspects, as such:

1) the more you watch, the more things don't surprise anymore

2) to make a show or history big (in order to sell a lot), it is generally built to catch attention, by repeating the same successful formulas and patterns in different ways

3) there's always a subject aspect in liking something, especially about humor

(Of course some shows, mangas etc are outliers of these aspects and become great and popular by it's own merits. This is just what I personally perceive).

What I think is most important here is to be mindful about what you consume ("does it suits my taste? I really want to see this? This catches my attention?" etc). And, in other hand, remembering that just because a lot of people are watching and liking it doesn't mean you have to feel obligated to watch and like it.
