Heads up: Turbo Babaa/Turbo Granny is an actual urban legend. Mob Psycho had an episode on it (though she ended up being an actual grandma that loves to run) and it's appeared in games like Shin Megami Tensei. IIRC the urban legend was of sightings where you would be driving down a highspeed road like a highway then in the middle of night as you're driving you'll look in your rear view mirror and see an old lady speeding towards you before vanishing. I think in some of those stories shes also driving a car though? I've heard different variations of it but for anyone curious it is a real urban legend.

One thing you gotta love about dandadan is that the author quite literally threw in every single criteria for a good anime. But not making it feel overwhelmed or outshadow stuff like the romance aspect, its planned to perfect with balance. The totally insanity of dandadan is just gonna keep exeeding expectations. Whatever crazy stuff you think they can pull off, they wiill take it 10 steps further. (The weird fan service in the ep will quickly dimish after a few ep, so don't worry)

[@prinstyrio0]

Tbh I'd say the best stories/manga/anime usually has this grounded feeling, like relatable situations and deep dynamics between characters, kinda slice of life, while pairing it with anything else. Hardest part is the balancing act and staying "grounded" to these characters, to not forget about the small moments and making them big rather than focusing too much about the spectacles. Dandadan one of those that definitely got the formula nailed!

To explain something, at 6:12 or so you seemed confused about gofer(sometimes written as gopher), it is basically an errand boy/girl position, or another way of saying lackey. it's derived from "go for" as in "hey you, I could go for this, go get it for me" or something along those lines
