My coworker got me to watch Dandadan, telling me the premise and that it was really good so far. Decided to give it a try, and got up to episode six (episode eight had just come out) before I saw him again. I remember he just gave me this smug grin and told me something like, "Oh, episode seven is amazing and you're gonna love it." Needless to say, the next time I saw him, I basically just said, "Fuck you, that shit made me cry!" I already loved this series, but I did *not* expect it to get so real and emotional like that. Hit me like a damn truck.

I'm really glad how matter-of-fact everyone is in the show about CPR. In so many other anime, Okarun would have hesitated to touch lips with a girl and afterwards he wouldn't be able to look Aira in the eye, while Momo would be intensely jealous over Aira having "stolen Okarun's first kiss" or somesuch. Thankfully none of that here.

tbf Momo already stole his first kiss to begin with.

Duuuuude. That bullshite you described is one of the tropes that can make me hard drop an anime. It's so immersion breaking, uncanny, annoying to watch that get forced in. The worst I could accept is, after the fact, him scratching the back of his head and being like, "Hey, it had to be done. Sorry.," and if Momo poked a little tsundereism at him. Instead, so, so very many animes go full-on 2 more episodes of "Come on! I'm sorry! Forgive me?" for zero fukn reason, other than saving someone's life. It seriously makes me immediately question if I care to keep watching. Nearly as much as impossibly giant gazongas. Those have made me instantly drop a show, too. Dandadan just does a fantastic job of being funny until that would be stupid, and then you CARE.

@@HarleySB Yukinobu Tatsu knows when to play things straight and when to play them goofy. There's a really strong story about found family running through Dandadan and everything is meant to reinforce that story, especially the serious bits.

One of the few moments where I'm actually broken and keep tearing down. "To a kinder world" the sentiment really resonates with me 😭😭

[@zolline]

This episode still makes me tear up 😭 My favorite

3 uploads in a week, ur doing gods work ed!! we’ll be eating good with this one!!

[@nat1576]

Aira asked to give THEM both peace, so from this you can understand that Acro's kid isn't alive

[@darryllmaybe3881]

A 3RD?!?!?!?! You're gonna give me diabetes with how well you've been feeding us XD

This episode is a real redemption story - both for Acro Silky and for Aira. You can achieve redemption both for the evils you've committed, and for the evil that's been done to you. Neither Acro Silky or Aira are perfect, they were both villainous in some aspects, but there was a pure intention behind it. They were what the other needed to grow and learn and be better. And when given the chance, they were better than anyone expected them to be.

31:10 You are super quick to pick up on TG's personality, man. This entire episode, she has been playing the villain to try to avert this tragedy. She puts things in the harshest possible way to force the living women into action through sheer outrage. 1) "A life like hers wasn't worth much and won't be missed" *What do you MEAN her life wasn't worth anything; you don't know what we just saw* This also serves a duel purpose of using Momo's desperation to drive home the reality of the experience to Aira, who - let's be fair - was dead a second ago and is still groggy. 2) "There is nothing that a stranger can do" *But I'm not a stranger, though I didn't realize it until now* Between my own viewings and the reaction videos I've watched, I have watched this episode 20-30 times. TG's cavalier attitude never squared with me, since Acro Silky - by her nature as a Yokai - was a woman who died horribly with lingering regrets, and TG has a deep compassion for those. At this point, I'm completely convinced that her harsh actions are meant to force these traumatized children to act in a way to avert the tragedy unfolding. They didn't have enough time for kind explanations, and TG frankly don't give a fuhk. I still cry during this episode even after these repeated viewings, but it's no longer crushing like it was the first viewing. Hope this post is acceptable, I tried to not touch on anything that hasn't already been covered in previous eps.

One thing I love about Turbo Granny is that she may be mean but she also still cares and so on, but ultimately what she is more than either of those is JADED. She's centuries old. She's seen so many different tragedies that at this point they're just cliches to her. Is Silky's life story heartwrenching? Sure. But there have been so many heartwrenching lifestories, so many women destroyed by men throughout history that Turbo Granny isn't really messed up by it anymore. She just rolls her eyes and starts biting off dongs. Because she's mean but she also still cares but she's also over it but at the end of it all, she's *still fucking angry.*

[@timkai]

@chaircheck2424 too, too true Hell, even biting off dongs is just trying to keep men from preying on women. Honestly based granny, I guess?! 🤷‍♂️

[@CusiR-jd3nc]

21:30 Man, the third party view of sex work gets intensely different when it is a move of desperation compared to a choice of personal employment. I know sex workers in Austin, and I don't feel any pity or sorrow when I've heard them talk about it. Just about all of them make me believe they enjoy it or are pretty famn indifferent to it. Then again, when I was a bodyguard for a "escort service" in San Antonio, the girls and their stories (and the motels ai had to park in front of 😢) were just awful to think about. Especially being so young, I didn't have the words to work out my feelings at the time. A couple of years ago, I was driving for Uber and I picked up a very pretty, very "dressed up" lady from the Mariot, drove her home, and the conversation was so fun, when we got to her house, I turned off the app, tuened on the dome light, and we just chatted and laughed about our stories. She was mainly ranting about how much she cared for her girls and demanding that they only worked if they were happy with the work. (she ran that circle).
