I enjoy these less action filled episodes of Dandadan a lot more to be honest. Just seeing the quirky cast do all their antics is really nice :). I also loved that Momo and Okarun moment in the car! Yes progress!

Even a drop of soy sauce managed to trigger the transformation. All that perfectly good food gone to waste 😭
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

ok, so in the ep they showed that he can transform even if a tiny drop of room temp sauce splashes on him. then what about sweating, runny nose, moisture and such?

if anyone got an explanation, pls go ahead bc im a little confused.

It's so much fun watching aira XD, good that she's back!
The heck! The old lady was an alien or a different species in disguise. There was so much going on screen, every character interacting with the other and the episode ended too quick. What a way to end the episode.

Amazing ep

Jiji is such a troll lol.

We love sum uncensored handholding 😂

Kito granny ugly asl.

Jiji a top tier aira glazer huh.

Not the animators repeating the scene twice just to show the level of trolling that evil eye would cause bc of one drop of liquid 😂

This ep adapted ch 49-51 and first page of 52. Looks like the team will start to slow down in the adaptation of chapters.

10/10

Evil eye problem ain't ending soon. Jiji transformation is literally from Ranma. Glad his parents survive.
That priest is such an underrated character. I hope he becomes semi regular like Mantians. Why are they using UFO to travel? Such a weird scene.

Happy to see my best girl Aira again. Girl upgraded from bunch of fakes to 2 real friends.

Okarun x Momo going strong 2 episodes in a row. Need even more...

And obviously that fucker granny was some alien, would have been surprised if she was normal.

I love the more SOL episodes where it's just the banter between Momo, Aria and Okarun at the forefront of things

Double reference to Ranma 1/2-Jiji sang the OP, and just like Ranma he couldn't get wet or he would transform. There's no doubt that Jiji is a genius.

The moments between Chiquitita and Aira were very tender: watching them play together was really heartwarming.

I knew there was something wrong with Miss Kito.... too ugly to be human! Turns out she's some kind of mole. And even with her real face uncovered, she wasn't as nasty as when she was pretending to be human. Now she wants revenge on Momo.

And the hand-holding scene between Momo and Okarun. Maximum romantic comedy energy. I felt so awkward screaming just because they touched hands... but wow, what a thrill it gave me.

I gotta say these past few days of waiting for this episode felt like a blip in the space and time. I have not been doing much but HERE WE ARE!! ANOTHER WEEK AND ANOTHER BANGER.

This episode had me at the edge of my seat, with anticipation, the amount of tension evolving the danger, romance, character dynamic, and DEAR GOD the characters evolution through the arcs has had me BOWLING IN TEARS!! ;-;

This episode, honestly, felt more dangers than the other ones, because of Jiji's presence. Yeah, him being all carefree, goofing around, while the other characters were just askin' "hey, are you ok?" had me thinking 'oh ok, they were REALLY worried' and of course, the charisma champ himself, goofing off let them know that he's fine. But there was still this uneasy feeling you can feel through out the episode, like a ticking timebomb was in the background... ticking away, while the MCs were well, lifeing? is that a word? but yeah, jiji got to see his parents, the Okarun and momo are inching closer to PDA, JUST GET MARRIED ALREADY!!, and granny seems to be handling all the sealing, traveling, mantances, cost, nurture, care and stress of it all. And MAN can you feel it when momo went OUT OF HER WAY to ask for help. And you can feel it all coming down are the final part of the episode.

DEAR GOD what a treat, I am starving for more though. This content of weekly watching isnt enough. But If i binged it... PFF yeah right. Anyway.

RATING TIME!!

Plot:10/10
I dont know about r&r but if you think these chararters were taking an r&r well, you would be correct, but somehow I am gonna say no it didnt feel like an R&R but more like the calm before the storm... in a way? idk. it was well executed tho I loved every moment

Theme:R&R i mean 10/10

OST & op/ed: 9/10
I had my beep and boop be a bit watered down, unforuntately I was not paying attention
but the op/ed made me constirate abit more on them... only afterwards tho

Character: 10/10
Gosh the character foil, including the background characters, feel alive, and this is eveident as there was multiple dialog occcuring at once many times as the focus was changing mid-sentence for most of them. It was being in a group chat, and popping in to see there's 4-5 topics being disccussed all at once. it was awesome.

Background story: 10/10
the villanes were a bit of a brushed topic, so not much was explored but I think its just setting up for the weeks to come.


Anyway, I am hungry FR, so imaa go eat BYEEEE

TOP FIVE THIS SEASON
1. DANDADAN
2. Gachiakuta

what a light ep, i like it tbh, i missed the vibe of school and momo's house, and the end of the ep was hilarious like he is saying that'll happen just wait

the scene when momo touchs okarun's hand was so awkward like damn, and it looks like the girl who's been feeding the snake is an alien ?

5 / 5 really looks like dandadan and the production is goood

First there was the Urusei Yatsura The Final Chapter reference in Season 1 and now there's a pretty massive Ranma 1/2 reference with the hot and cold water thing. Yeah, I think the author is a Rumic fan. I lost it when Jiji started singing Don't Make Me Wild Like You lol. It's crazy that Ranma 1/2 Season 2 will air next season. Still doesn't feel real.

Ah so the Mantisian came back to earth because the cow was useless on their planet? I was wondering, do they even have grass there?

That tunnel scene tho. It was so wholesome to see Okarun and Momo act a little lovey-dovey for a while. Wonder when they'll become a couple.

The Kito family head was a subterrenean? Wth. They're making new enemies like it's no one's business.

Looks like Aira isn't that popular anymore. She's finally suffering the consequences of her own actions. Tho it's nice that she owned up to them. I think it's better if her only friends are Momo, Okarun, and Jiji. At least they're real friends.

That ending tho. Jiji isn't safe even from a fucking drop of soy sauce?! Don't think it was that intense even for Ranma and the others... They really need to find a way to deal with him like they did with Okarun's balls...
@0451 He's still missing one of those, I believe. ROFLMAO

Once again, a great episode. I love how the relationship between Momo and Okarun is developing—it's top-tier romance at this point. That final scene surely made many burst into laughter. Wonder what that old mafia lady will be doing now.

Feels long since we saw Aira but yeah, I bet she wasn’t expecting that kinda eat together lol. I mean they literally had to go slow-mo, TWICE, for Okarun not to fuck up, but my guy did. Btw, the shift from the final scene to the ending felt completely out of place, yet somehow flowed weirdly well — not sure how that worked lol.


I'd argue that form is times milder than her first appearance 😅

Bro this has gotta be the sickest friend group I've seen in a show. Anatomy model, anthromorphic cat, alien that always say "deez", a guy that turns into a supervillain if you spill a cold liquid on him. So much diversity. Also loved the scene with Momo touching hands with Okarun. Very sweet. Excited to see what happens next!

Love these break episodes after each arc. Probably my favourite part of dandadan.

Love the ranma 1/2 reference. Reading the manga the song isnt as obvious (same as the slam dunk OP/ED from S1)

That uncensored handholding was done well.

Mantis real name is peeny chinko haha.
And at the ending the animators really got us with the 2nd take of the soy sauce drop haha

Love the school scenes especially those involving Muko and Miko.
Can’t wait for the next episode

Was not expecting Jiji to start singing the original Ranma 1/2 OP song out of nowhere lol, now that’s a cultured reference right there, and it fits perfectly here too with Jiji pretty much being in the same predicament as Ranma, being that he changes when splashed with water, only instead of a cute girl, it’s a ghost hellbent on destroying humanity lol. But yeah this was a nice cooldown episode, gotta have those every once in a while, Season 2 has been all gas no breaks so far so it makes sense. Also hell yeah Aira is back! I really missed seeing her, she had some good moments in this one, she really liked that tiny alien kid lol.

It was also nice seeing Jiji reunite with his parents, wholesome stuff, as well as Momo and Ken holding hands on the car ride, I’m thinking what went down with the worm and Evil Eye took their relationship to a slightly higher level, Momo was a bit cuter than usual too, but damn that hand action was something else lol, if it wasn’t just hands then I’d think a censor bar would be appropriate. Also, damn what happened to Mama Kito? Her and her boys were water people the whole time? Is this like the crab people or lizard people? Either way that was a cool scene, I guess it makes more sense now that they never looked quite “human”, nice horror vibes too, it’ll be interesting to see if she ends up striking back or not. And damn that ending tho, they done fucked it up with Jiji, but it was easy to see coming, even if they get him under control, that house is fucked lol.

Momo was doing way too much with the hand for them to not already be dating. Okarun really has no excuse for missing the hints.

The absolute chaos that erupts every time everyone gathers at the Ayase household is incredible. Also I need to see Aira and Jiji interact properly now that everyone's staying over there.

Momo is catching feelings for Okarun (why does it feel more natural to say this than his actual name?), that is honestly sweet and I really hope it works out for these two.
Evil Eye is not giving up Jiji though, but apparently he is averse to hot water so that is a thing.
Aira is having trouble at school, she really wants to hang with Momo and Okarun but is still trying to be the "cool kid" even though that phase seems to be over as far as everyone else is concerned.
