For real about what?

About calling people who called out a hypocrite for being racist, racist themselves.

Not everyone who disagrees with people who fancy themselves arbiters of blackness, incapable of racism, perpetual victims and purveyors of truth are klansmen, you know?

For my part, I already knew that the dub industry was a void full of mentally infirm people that I never would have gone close to, but seeing a dude claim that white people can't voice black roles, that japanese artists are racists for "whitewashing" characters, trying to put a fence around what he thinks is the black experience and implying that whoever doesn't know this lifestyle isn't actually black, and then absolutely contradicting himself by playing characters who aren't black, and whose experiences he couldn't possibly understand (going by his own logic), to then flee twitter and cry racism because he got called out on his shit, it all just serves to confirm it.

This story made me happy. It made me like this show more, and I wish it happened more often, so that, like so many things lately, normal people realize how sick some people and their ideologies are and reject them full stop. fafo, as some might put it.

At first I felt like Okarun was being stupid (his turn after Momo was being a little dumb), but this stuff at the end made it funny.
It's so obvious to my eyes she has no interest in him, but he does have a personality that goes along with Momo's friendliness.

I wonder if he will also end up with spirit powers at the cursed home, or if Miss Christian to Norse is will join them. This episode made me ship Ken x Momo so hard, she is such a boss, like, she is literally the boss of the show.

Nah, he called her obachan which can mean Auntie, but it’s also used when referring to a middle age woman which is how it’s used in this scenario.

@Marinate1016 Don't you remember the controversy when they lightened the skin of a black character? Black people got angry at a Japanese woman for making fan art. Black people are also racist, you know? Twitter is infested with these hypocritical people (both sides) and over time it has only made things worse.

I appreciate that Okarun's feelings towards Jiji are not based in posessive jealousy over Momo, but more him withdrawing and overthinking how this effects their dynamic.

And then juxtaposing that thread of emotional weightiness is Jiji and sprinting after a screaming anatomical model.

Many people hate Jiji and I honestly thought I would too but I actually like him. Dude is unapologetically goofy while also stealing the hearts of girls by complimenting him. His class introduction had my dying especially because of the girls fell for him immediately 🤣. Like imagine how much rizz you gotta have to make a complete fool of yourself and steal get the babes. Jiji even had Momo friends hating until he rizzed them up. He might be my favorite character because I heard he gets even better. Only thing I didn't like about this episode was the unnecessary love drama with Jiji showing up. I understand that Ken isn't sociable, but anyone with eyes can see that Momo is into him. She's literally going out of her way to eat lunch and even feed you 🤦🏾. Okarun better grow some balls when he gets his back

Lightening the skin of black characters has always been done and is always done out of hate/spite. There’s historical context for why that’s hateful, doing a harmless black edit is not the same. Social and historical precedent is important.

This episode pretty much resembles the latter half of this first Dandadan season: it’s just…ok. A lot of “wtf” “what am I even watching” moments (today we got the muscle man running meme, I laughed), zero substance, a plot that is either non existent or completely nonsensical and some corny humor. After Solo Leveling and Kaiju No.8 this is the biggest disappointment of the last few years (not in terms of adaptations, in general), too well praised for being this meh

@Marinate1016 but that's called hypocrisy, the Japanese got angry because they harassed the girl who lightened a black man's skin, the Japanese get angry if you don't respect their culture, besides the company that created the character is from Japan, I mean why create a black character if they hate them? It doesn't make sense, the same thing happened with the characters in the movie ENCANTO, no one from the Latin community (I'm part of it, I'm Peru) complained but many blacks complained about us when we didn't say anything about it, this It is clearly total hypocrisy, it is not justified by saying that if you did it first I will do it, Twitter is a place of racist and hypocritical shit

That’s not called hypocrisy. It’s called historical precedent and context and if you’re unable to grasp that it’s not worth having any sort of intellectual discussion with you because you’re either wilfully ignorant or a bigot and I have no interest in debating either.

@Marinate1016 If you're not upset about changing a character's skin color to reflect yourself and overlooking the lived experiences of fans and artists in Japan who do indeed take offense to it, you're a racist, simple.

@Marinate1016 intolerant to what? If I am complaining about both sides because both sides are hypocrites? What you are telling me is that black people have a resentment with ethnic groups because of the historical event, that makes people of color resentful that they stay in the past and cannot take a step further, do not confuse me, I am not in favor of either side, I have always been biased and I will continue to be but when I see something that is wrong, I will do it and twitter is infested with racists intolerant of any opinion

I liked the episode and all but the new guy got me cringing a bit, he's kinda like Zenitsu and I hate Zenitsu, these obnoxious over-the-top characters get on my nerves. Since he got introduced I will let it slide this time, but if they start overusing that over-the-top, obnoxious schtick with the new guy I will be pissed and this anime will start losing quality for me because an annoying character can, in fact, ruin an anime to me.

So for now I'm skeptical about the new guy, let's see how this will play out.

The part I loved about the episode was the grandma getting played at and saying that he's a genius and even giving him free food, that part was hilarious.

Grandma is not a joke, she is like that with everyone who calls her miss or a term that does not correspond to her age, or did you not see chapter 8? where he supports aira, and if it turns out that jiji does not act that way when he gets serious, dandadan's characters exaggerate the personality of a stereotype, a clear example is aira, momo and okarun, jiji is the playboy who is accepted because he is cute Let it be like that, imagine someone ugly behaving that way, I'll send them to hell xD

what's with this show and running? Sorta makes more sense than when I first read it. I miss aira already can't for when she comes back. Great episode. It's so weird that we're at the final episode this doesn't feel like a season finale at all. Is it just me it's so weird. I get the show is pretty episodic but there's like so little through line it all just feel like theres more setup to be done

I'm going to assume the whole "my world used to be grey, but thanks to you, it became so colorful" is a Bottom Tier Character Tomozaki-kun reference and I won't be convinced otherwise.

Putting that aside, not a fan of this new character thus far. He's too cringe to be real. He is somehow worse than Aira, and she is already borderline too cringe to be real either. Hopefully they tone down their personalities a bit in the future. They can still be goofy characters without being so over-the-top that it totally kills the believability of their characters. Also, even if he's supposed to be super handsome, having every girl in their class but Momo fawn over him was just dumb. There's just no way every girl would react like that given his behavior. I don't buy it as being for comedic purposes either. It's just lazy character writing. I honestly wish he really was a suave ladies man that had some major flaw like being a complete scaredy cat to see the duality between those two personalities as he hits it off with all the other women while Momo blows him off for being useless any time trouble shows up. Would have been much better than being super cringe and seeing women fawn over that while I roll my eyes out of my skull as Momo is somehow the only sane girl in her class.

In theory, I don't mind the whole love rivals/triangle trope being used, but I don't think this series should use it for long given how obvious it is that Momo and Okarun like each other. Momo's classmates heard in this episode that they are a thing from Momo's friend AND everyone already knows they were found naked together in the hallway. Dragging it out too long will just become obnoxious.

Unlike other commenters I'm not bothered by the lack of an overarching story/plot progression yet. It's still very early in the series. Focusing on developing the characters and their relationships to each other is much preferable to me than focusing on pushing forward with the plot at the expense of character development. Let Okarun get his balls back and then see where things go next. Plenty of long running shounen series either don't have the main plot introduced that quickly (Bleach, AoT, etc.) or only have a token Macguffin end goal introduced that early on (Naruto, One Piece, etc.).

The comedy remains pretty solid imo, but Aira and Jiji could ruin it if they aren't scaled back a bit.

This series is the one I most look forward to watching every week and today was no exception. Been a fun ride thus far. Hope it continues going strong with the last episode and in future seasons!

Ok episode. Momo's lines are still annoying me most of the time. I don't care for her voice and the masculine thing they're trying to do with her. The grandmother is pretty one dimensional too. Seems like this new guy is also going to be one dimensional, and so far I don't really care for him and can see him getting annoying quick. On one high note, I am glad that Okarun and Momo's feelings are being developed and explored. This should keep things interesting at least.
