| Craziness. Chaos. Cuteness. Comedy (yes, everything starting with a C). And then, they freakin' added ROCK!!!??? HELL YEAH!!!! 🤘🏻 This series never ceases to amaze me. Momo as a maid. Long-haired Seiko. Aira's morning routine (just after she snored all night). Miko and Muko shipping Okarun and Momo. There was a lot to like in this one!! The weird gestures Momo did as a young kid now have a lot of sense. Jiji might be incredibly powerful if Evil Eye doesn't mess it up, and if he learns how to coexist with it. And finally, the rock band that can make dead people (and Aira) bang their heads. Awesome! About that last point, kinda scary: I was watching this episode just when a group of people was carrying a coffin on their way to the cemetery. I'm not lying, I swear! That thing about coincidences is real! |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| I usually don't dig music parts in anime outside some outliers, but man this was absolutely peak. 100/10 episode. |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| I’m gonna be honest…I found Granny Seiko with her hair down hot. Also, the Hayasii designs are some of the best in Dandadan. |
| If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece |
| This one has been the best episode this season; the concert, the sleepover, and the maid cafe surprise at the end? AHH, it's tough waiting for next week! |
| My fav thing in the entire manga series so far has been the Hayashi band, and damn... they didn't disappoint in the anime either. :D banger song |
| You really never know what you're going to get with Dandadan. This time around, it's a banger rock performance 💀 I was wondering how they would adapt this part and I love how they extended the scene with an anime-original song and performance. Before the vocalist even started talking I had a strong feeling that he would be voiced by the singer of Granrodeo, and I was right lol. Dude was born for that role. After the rock exorcism, Dandadan once again shows us how good it is when it comes to the slice of life moments and how the characters bond with each other. I enjoy that stuff just as much as the action scenes. Also, Seiko with her hair down. Fuuuuuck 🧎 |
| 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. |
| Great ep Yk the music is hitting when somebody is bopping their head. Granny Seiko serving per usual. U can really see how Okarun and Jiji's relationship is forming, really great to see. Lmao, watching Momo's two gyaru friends drag Okarun all over the place was funny asl.😂 Lol, Momo got exposed. This ep adapted the rest of ch 52-54, and left out 4 pages of 54. Ngl, I pretty sure they could have added that with ease, but ig it works. Not a fan of the fact that the production is stated to be getting worse (according to Twitter). Hope its not as bad as they say it is. 9.5/10 |

This episode made me laugh, the rock music was as expected and more, but at the same time it made me tear up. Momo blushed and fell even more in love when she heard Okarun want to protect Jiji from the Evil Eye because he is his friend. Seiko served top, heart-felt advice and the coup de grace arrived when my favorite goobers: Miko and Muko, dragged Okarun to the maid café. I can’t wait to see my favorite manga panel animated next week.  |
| Peak rock from HAYASHII !! ❤️🔥❤️🔥😭😭 I was shaking my head same as them...What a music that was!! Everybody looking after Jiji was so adorable 🥹❤️❤️ Aira and Momo snoring like hell in their sleep lol Muko and Miko forcing Okarun to go on a date with them was so funny and in the end it was to show Maid Momo to him 😄😄❤️ |
| Groovy......... |
| This has gotta be the coolest exorcism I have ever seen in all of fiction! This song is so going on my summer playlist xD |

Hair down Seiko 👀‼️ Got me staring like Turbo Granny |

The slice of life part of this show is so good. Lowkey, the parts when they're back to school can be more enjoyable than the action. yes... yes... and that's why i enjoyed the final part the most. First half wasn't bad even if that weird rock band got called all for nothing and it was sad to see the house destroyed, but Miko and Muko dragged Okarun to a place he didn't expect... including someone by total coincidence doing part time job in the exact same place. Next episode is going to be even more interesting. |
(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) |
| Aira slowly turning into a metalhead is one of the best things I've ever seen LMAO |
| Is this... Is this... X JAPAN x GRANRODEO? IT IIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSS <3 <3 <3 <3 KISHOOOOOOOOOOOOOU, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, MAAAAAAN!!! YOU´RE TURNING 50 NEXT SUNDAY BUT YOU GAVE US THE GIFT! I´m so happy, I´m so damn happy. I knew it was him from the very first shriek! Only my main man can do that with so much class! I shook my head and dangled my legs together! Oh, and their little interactions were really cute. Okarun is such a good friend. Also, their meeting at the maid cafe was adorable~ |
| "Could you not talk with me? I'm busy breathing." |
| Did get some Alan Wake 2 vibes with the rock exorcism, though here it was far less interesting. I think this episode cemented my opinion that this is a great comedy/romance but a mediocre adventure show. It's like the show is afraid of exploring the strong emotional aspects these monsters have and because of it they only use them just for one scene or two. Everything else is just random shit and after a while, that kinda gets boring. Romance/Comedy though, is genuinely great so far. Dialogue feels organic, jokes have very good timing and don't over exert themselves. My only concern is from what I searched, there's material for like 4 more seasons after this, and doesn't seem like the manga will end any time soon. So it might also be ruined by dragging things. Oh well, I guess that's a problem with any running show |
 |
| episode was really good, that ending was amazing, the scene in the next episode is going to be amazing |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| I wonder how they do it... a rock concert, exorcism, touching family scenes, touched up/enhanced old photos, school life and maido kissa all in one episode. I didn't think I'd end up headbanging for an episode for sure. |
| Was not expecting a badass rock & roll show when I pressed play on this episode, but man those boys stoke the whole thing! I wanted to hear them play another song instead of seeing the rest of the episode honestly lol, and not only did they kill it musically, they did it stylistically too, it’s unfortunate they ended up putting on that epic performance for no reason but it was fun regardless. Back to actual plot, I get why Jiji wants to keep Evil Eye around and it’s cool of Ken and Momo to back him up, but if we’re being real, Jiji isn’t the one that has to deal with Evil Eye when he gets out of hand lol. I’m sure this is gonna be the right decision in the long run tho, there will be some huge threat and Evil Eye will come in clutch, calling it now. To some more SoL oriented content, Aira’s makeup routine was cool and cute to see, she puts in a lot of work every morning to look her prettiest, I respect it. I also liked the scene between Ken and Jiji where they discussed paying back Seiko, I always found Seiko to be mostly silly but this paints her in a new light, the pay it forward advice was really good. And lastly, damn I was not expecting Momo’s part time job to be at a maid cafe, her friends weren’t slick in dragging Ken along to see her at work lol, great moment to end the episode on. |
| 8.5, are you serious guys??? this is no less than a ten so next i want to see at least 9 something is it possible to watch that and not giving a 10??? stop watching anime if you don't recognise a 10/10!!! this adaptation was so goo, wow |

| This episode was so unexpected the headbanging ritual scene got me rolling on the floor and the thumbs up scene when okarun helped jiji to wash his hands with warm water they just be like 😴👍 and it was so goofy and random i loved this episode it was just absolute cinema 🙌 |
