What was the show you spoiler censored at the start?

[@nouvelle147]

​@@WhiteKnuckleRide512 I'm wondering that as well

[@WhiteKnuckleRide512]

@ I’m guessing Re:Zero? I’m not super informed on this seasons’s anime but that seems like the most likely

[@ShinigamiSparda]

One thing the animation did that I think was important is how realistic the animation of the flashback was, more subtle but human movements instead of stylized supernatural ones. I feel like it's the animators saying "this isn't sad just because it's tragic, this is sad because it *actually happens*. We don't need to make up monsters to show you how bad things can get, normal people do that on their own."

[@tone161]

Yeah they touch on some very real issues. Like Unji Zuma backstory. That stuff happens and its so tragic

[@yoongsintong1976]

I noticed that too, especially in the way her daughter danced! To add to that, the entire montage was essentially wordless, it reminds me of the way Pixar did the fifteen minute intro of UP.

[@LINKedup101]

Small correction, she doesnt save up the money, she takes some out of what she pays to the Yakuza and they come to collect

[@Melzo200]

This makes more sense for why they decided to punish her

[@oakleyturner9544]

Allergies were bad here today also. 🤧

[@letterstobyun9638]

I cried so much in this episode. Every single detail on it is perfect. The way she landed with her feet before we even know that she was a human that used to dance, the tired face we can barely see on the door knock before she got home, the small mole under the eye that is often hidden by her hair but she show's it to her daughter, the room moving in circles like a ballerina does. All the feelings are overflowing from the characters, even without a single word. This episode was a masterpiece, it hurt to see that there was nothing left to be done. No one could've stopped that from happening, but how to not blame ourselves when things go wrong? It's easy to feel empathetic towards that mother because we know how hard it is to raise a child alone. We know how much love she felt for her kid and how she gave up on everything, even her proud, to give her baby a chance to live. And it was all in vain. It really hurt, I won't lie. This episode was a tragic masterpiece.

[@SttudDioPierrot]

6:20 Silky Took money out of her Envelop to buy her Daughter the Pink Dress. While she's being Assaulted, one of the Men is counting the Money in the Envelope. The Money was owed to them but there wasn't enough (Because some of the money went to buying the dress) So they just took her Daughter as another form of Payment. Either that or they killed her daughter to send a message, which is even worse.

[@infinitydragon3831]

I wonder how many people even realized that she jumped off the building while she was dancing since it was kind of hard to tell

[@dooshmasta]

Is that what happens? It appears like she falls while running on the street chasing after the car with the attackers, and bleeds to death. The ballet sequence next seems more like she's dancing her way into afterlife / purgatory, but that ends with an abrupt sound of an object falling. Then it's morning and she's a ghost and has seems to have lost her memory.

[@dooshmasta]

I just looked at the manga. It's written much clearer, while the anime makes the fact that she's on a building vague, as well as the fact she's prostituting herself. I guess it might be to get past censors since the show has an international audience and China has already come after them; they can't be too explicit, and can only hint at what's happening.

[@nicholasleow6692]

​@@dooshmastaThe author had to follow censorship. In the anime she died from her injuries, but in the manga, she jumped to her death.

[@dooshmasta]

@@nicholasleow6692 Yeah, my first impression was that she bled to death when she fell while running, and that dance sequence was her sort of farewell to life in her mind, but they do put a sound effect of something hitting the ground and the next shot is a tall building so I don't know.

[@mmyr8ado.360]

You could interpret that as how she felt at that time, kinda like what Akane felt on that overpass in Oshi no Ko .

[@Mousse9]

I don't think it's the man she slept with that took her daughter away. It's not clear in the anime, but they were loansharks as far as I can tell. They came to collect money, and took the daughter as well as the money. Man, you get goofy stuff like accidental kissing, dunking a washtub on a girl's head, and suddenly, super sad story. Can't wait for the next episode.

[@diseasedwombat5611]

I watched the episode before I went to sleep last night. I wanted to watch funny balls show, not get emotional trauma! 10/10 episode, no ifs ands or buts.

[@VidalichipDev]

man i saw the manga and i knew it would be a good episode but i didnt expect it to be so good adaptation

glad to know i'm not the only one that cried watching this masterpiece

[@oakleyturner9544]

Trust me, we’re all part of a pretty large collective on that.

[@m_d_thp]

Silky was likely in a big debt that is why she has multiple jobs and used some of the money she is supposed to give the loan sharks to buy her daughter the red dress. the loan sharks(might as well be yakuzas) took daughter as a collateral.

[@dooshmasta]

Loan sharks are generally connected with yakuza in Japan. Have you seen / read Kaiji?

[@m_d_thp]

@@dooshmasta I had seen a few episodes of Kaiji on tv but never watched it in full.

[@dooshmasta]

@@m_d_thp You gotta watch the first arch on the boat. Such creative writing.

[@ar23431]

I just cried when Aira hugged her, just "Thank you, for being the best mother,I was the happiest daughter in the whole universe thanks to you, please let them find peace in a place where they get to be happy" That was the most beautiful thing in the chapter, in Latin Spanish only Aira spoke so it is as if very deep, it gives to understand that Aira saw everything and felt everything, she felt the love and pain.What did the acrobatic silky experience. Still, I'm glad the manga hints that thanks to Aira she was able to achieve peace, and just as she was dying, she was able to achieve peace right at the end.

[@audreynothepburn7663]

Momo also saw everything too

[@ar23431]

@audreynothepburn7663 Yes but it is not the same

[@nikostyleonyomamacoochie8513]

What really broke me was towards the end when Silky was listing her regrets. “I wish i bought you better things, i wish i played with you more, if only you werent born my child, then maybe you could have lived a better life than anything I could have given you” The sentiment of wishing your own flesh and blood that you love more than life itself, didn’t come from you just so they could live better and happier, thats next level parental love. And seeing how hard she tried, the struggles and extremes she went through to provide for the only light in her life…..And combined with such amazingly animated visuals that enchanced so much of the experience 😭 I was genuinely grasping at my chest and I had to take a second after the ep finished. That shit to me was film award winning.

[@Touma_S]

I always took it as it was loan sharks who came and took her daughter , they were checking for money

[@dooshmasta]

In Japan loan sharks are connected to organized crime a little like how labor unions are connected to mafias. So these are real gangsters roughing her up.

[@Touma_S]

@@dooshmasta i know thats why i don't think it was the kids father coming to get her like sea sugested in the video , its more likely they sold her off

[@dooshmasta]

@@Touma_S It could be that her pimp is the same organization as the loan sharks, they're the ones that have enslaved her into this life, and they took her daughter to traffic her as well. I went to high school with a girl who grew up in Tokyo, and had been R worded several times by the time she was 13. This stuff is real. She was a single mom after high school, but from what I can tell on facebook, her daughter had a baby, and she (my old friend) is now married and they all live happily together in Suginami.

[@Touma_S]

@@dooshmasta i never saw it as her having a pimp instead doing it herself to make the money and spending it on the dress instead but good point i didnt think of that . Thats heartbreaking about your friend I'm glad she's happy now

[@Blueflame22455]

The manga has even more scenes like this but I was so happy when I seen this scene and knew that it was going to get animated. It really is a beautiful episode and they keep this theme very consistent throughout the story of the complexity of characters. Makes every person,alien,yokai in this show feel human and very believable even as monsters. The world in dandadan reflects this perfect in small and big ways. It truly makes the world feel like a mirror of our own just people in differing circumstances while still providing action as well as hard hitting themes and lessons . Definitely one of my new favorite anime PERIOD it surprised me with the quality and the multifaceted nature of almost every character shown on screen.

[@Scr4mbledM3ggs]

Despite the fact I knew there wasn’t going to be any form of happy ending for the mother or her daughter, it still shook me to my core when it abruptly cut to the mother beating so violently beaten in front of her daughter.

This episode will very likely push the anime into a higher tier of popularity and of course, season 2 is gonna go fucking nuts.

[@JahreHydra]

I haven't cried so much in forever this is by far the best episode I have ever seen in a anime. So many thoughts were going on in my head. And then I began thinking about my dad. And how much he has done for his family. And I never realized how much I truly loved my dad. My dad doesn't always stay home due to work and he goes to the hospital almost everyday. And seeing his health getting worse almost everyday. And knowing I can't do anything as I'm just a stupid dumb person. Every time he leaves all I can think about is him coming back home safely to us. As we never know if someone is ever going to return. I now probably understand the saying of life is precious. Knowing that I won't ever have my dad in my life ever again just hurts to much for me. Ok that's enough of that. I'm crying typing this out. I have already cried enough for one night Great anime amazing episode 10/10 masterpiece

[@Courier_Seven]

Cherish that man and the time you have together. God bless.

[@derronware9320]

I love how we're able to watch this series and interpret the episode in different ways. for me, when she leaped off of the building, I assumed that was her going into the afterlife because she died of her wounds from the glass cutting her. i assumed it was her essence of her soul, which was transferring, and the lights behind her were just the afterlife in itself. but apparently that wasn't the case which is fine. Ultimately, I received the same message as before. This is a mother who lost her daughter and lost her life, and it was tragic. Very heart breaking because this happens every day!😢

[@xrosslegends1279]

I believe Aira's actually helped her pass on properly, that's why her ashes went to the sky and light glowing down, her ghostly mission complete, I don't think she ever figured out Aira wasn't her daughter.

[@DoraKage]

Hey sea, I interpret the events of Silky's life quite differently. I doubt she was doing the "night work" solo. Usually the case is she would sign up to some shady organization in order for her to get her "business" up and running. She was likely indebted to some bad people - loan sharks, yakuza - whatever. But despite juggling jobs, she just couldnt pay enough and this organization took her daughter as payment unfortunately. I also think she bled out on the street right then and there - with her last moments being "seeing something precious" taken away from her - which is why in her initial ghost form - she's wearing exactly the clothes and has the same wounds she had that night she ran into the rain and collapsed.
