A FEVER DREAM | DAN DA DAN Episode 1 REACTION!

[@AlanaMisako]

this was the most insane fever dream LMAO. LOVED the animation. it felt like a mashup of mob psycho/CSM/JJK! and i'm excited to see where the plot goes 😎 thanks for watching everyone!! i can't wait for this fall anime season!

[@CarlosGabriel-pt4od]

Watch Blue Box pls

[@IIC7]

While this is not the most accurate way to describe the series, I have to share what I thought was a funny enough description that somebody used: "Imagine if Mob Psycho took place in Regular Show, that's Dandadan."

[@MizzyThwang]

the creator of the dandadan used to work under the author of chainsaw man

[@ahmadfuadi8584]

Ken Takakura is a famous Japanese actor who appeared in the film "Black Rain" directed by Ridley Scott, co-starring with Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia. One of his famous lines from a film he starred in when he was young was "I'm clumsy..."

[@aohige]

More importantly he was in numerous yakuza films, that's why the enka song is playing in the background after she mentioned him and walking down the hallway. That BGM is basically straight out of the Showa Zankyoden yakuza films lol

[@tringuyen7519]

Yeah, I remember him. He was in Mr. Baseball with Tom Selleck. Right?

[@hirokatou6209]

ミスターベースボールを覚えている人がいるとは！1992年公開映画で、MLBから日本の中日ドラゴンズにやってくる「助っ人外国人選手」がトムセレック、監督が高倉健でしたね。シリアス寄りのコメディ映画で、大ヒット映画ではないですが、日米の野球異文化を題材にした良作でした。

Dandadan is literally 0-100 every episode. Best manga i've read in a long time, anime onlys are in for a treat man!

[@davidmoreno4738]

Dandadan is one of the few mangas that you can show a panel to someone and even with that you can't spoil anything cuz you need context about it xd

[@SleepParty30]

Bro I read the manga literally in like 2 days. One of those you simply cannot put down once you start reading.

[@Lamont4D]

Ditto bro. It’s my favorite manga to read these days. The art style, story, and general goofiness does it for me. 😊

[@beanzaru]

Actually, the creator considered both Momo and Ken equally as main characters, but Momo gets a little more of the primary focus between the two.

[@Palxco]

Fitting since they spend a lot of times sharing one braincell.

[@fzhz]

Just like kaguya sama: love is war

[@remmborn8154]

yeh she tends to be the more reliable narrator of the two so we focus more on her internal interpretation of the events while Okarun is more like a Luffy or Goku etc where we mainly watch his reactions to the events

[@MrLeo34]

"I'm not sure what happened but I loved it" typical Dandadan response

[@viperstrike0]

Dan Dan Dan is an onomatopoeia for suspence in Japan while also being the onomatopoeia for an explotion so its equivalent would be like DUN DUN DUN while also being like POW POW POW if that makes sense

[@tideswept2881]

one thing I really like about Dandadan is that Momo is the one framed as the primary protagonist, which is just so rare in shonen

[@fzhz]

Apothecary diaries??, frieren??, claymore?? Kaguya sama?? , killa killa??, undead unluck??, soul eater??, ghost in the shell??, heavenly delusional?? , madoka magica??, meiruko chan?? And many more... Edit : those of you who are saying they're not shonen needs to check demographic on official sites. I know few of them are seinen but most of them are shonen.

The Mob Psycho comparison is actually spot on since some of the staff that worked on it are working on Dandadan. I'm so excited to see this series finally animated. It's one of my favorite manga, period.

[@urameshii6672]

It’s just one person, yoshimichi kameda and he left the production early.

[@slippy47]

​@@urameshii6672 I mean he's just the monster character designer plus there's probably guys at science saru that can supervise those consistently even without his help.

Turbo granny is a famous urban legend in Japan, so it's not surprising that both this and Mob Psycho featured her.

[@phothewin6019]

DANDADAN IS PEAK!!!! So glad you're reacting to it!

[@MrDeath5300]

It is PEAK, I binged the manga like it was oxygen and i was drowning it was so good, fun fact you'll probably see everywhere the author of this was Fujimoto's assistant in early chainsawman and his previous manga, and i think the influence is noticeable

[@Nk15__]

Oh I’m so excited you’re picking this up! DanDaDan is such a great time, chaotic and wholesome and really poignant at times, you’re gonna love it (and the romance is great!)

[@faieziabubakar207]

Love the 2 colours schemes..ghosts red aliens blue

[@fr0stbound]

"What am I even watching/reading?" is a consistent reaction to Dandadan

[@chasfromglasgow]

Having read the first 5 arcs (62 chapters), Dandadan is a ride. Can't wait for more episodes. Science Saru killing it so far.

[@Palxco]

In a very fun casting choice: Turby Granny and the Aliens are voiced by the VAs for Luffy and Zoro respectively.

[@Pengwynd]

So glad you're reacting to this! It's genuinely such a good series. I was looking forward to two things on Thursday, Dandadan coming out and you starting the Answer. So sad that your PS5/Router ended up messing up that stream! :( I hope you were able to get it all figured out!

[@Droknar]

Re:Zero s3 ep 1 was really good too (90mins) Anime season in full swing!

[@MrDovahkiing]

I watched the first 3 episodes in theater, and it was something. The beginning of it they had an interview with the manga creator and voice actors, and they pretty much said that its going to be confusing and just nonsense but still very entertaining and fun. For me It felt like the first 3 episodes were the prologue.

[@platinumphazer]

The manga has some of the best art I've ever seen, stuff so crazy you can't believe they finish a chapter a week. So I'm glad the animation does it justice

[@Jmerzio]

7:00 Good eye, the shy boy song he was singing was from the 90s. Its nice to know the translators noticed and matched with an older word

[@tjskeyblade]

I really appreciate your your reaction and I like the kindred designs and the action of the action of the characters voices so far

[@prasad_ranade]

The author of Chainsaw Man had four assistants, three of whom went on to create their own manga: Spy x Family, Hell's Paradise, and Dandadan.

[@FerdinandJosephFernandez]

3:05 Ken Takakura was a famous action movie actor in the '60s and '70s. He's likened to Clint Eastwood. 6:56 That "too shy shy boy" he was saying is a song released in 1992 by Arisa Mizuki, so, yes, flip phones (I think colloquially they were called feature phones back then) plus that reference should tell you the time period the show takes place in.

[@_itsjaemi]

Yes .. basically every moments your brain would say "WTF?" Even in manga.. every page is the definition of WTF.. and trust me it gets better and better

[@JasperAyeee]

the first episode was BONKERS. very ambitious start. love the chaos~

I smoked some weed before watching the ep on netflix. Best weekend night I had for months

[@CodeMonkeX]

I watched the dub of this first, and the dub is really good. For something with so many cool visuals I was glad I started with it. The show is so good so far I might actually just watch both versions each week. Great show so far.

[@vj7248]

Momo is kinda like P3 Yukari... but to the EXTREME! She is such a fun brash character, a delinquent gyaru with a heart of gold.

[@BelBelle468]

Well that explains why I love Momo so much.

[@JakeyJakers]

The vibe of the anime reminds me of the original FLCL. I haven't read the manga, so I don't know how accurate a comparison that is, but it made me wanna keep watching!

[@VegaNCalleDQuesT]

I love how you started off this so nonchalant without any idea what you’re in for.

[@Zrs3820]

Dandadan is truly one of the shows of all times. Even the hardcore fans can't truly describe what it really is. It's that insane. Maybe not Chainsaw Man level of insane but still, INSANE.

Turbo granny and the serpo having a freak off

From what I can tell, Dandadan is basically just a sound effect. When the title drops at the end of this episode, that's what i'm imagining.

if the abduction scene puts you off dont worry the first the first episode is the most weird the show gets

[@tenchraven]

This show is a love letter the UFO, ghost (especially, no duh, the Japanese traditions) and parapsychology crowds. With an awesome sound track. And an opening that is an homage to Ultraman. This is being made with love, and it shows. If you know urban mythology, though, you get all the jokes.
