So Okarun got a rival now.

I don't like that Jiji dude >:( Jk jkI think he is pretty cool.

Will be very interesting how this dynamic plays out though with Okarun and Momo.

Also wtf is with that anatomy model lol.

Next week final Dan Da Dan episode. I need more.

One of the funniest episodes in the series, with Jiji finally being introduced and the entire anatomy model shenanigans.

Taro's the real man.
Looks like he touched Okarun's soul too. He's totally not giving up!

Okarun's notebook

I love how they added Okarun drawing his frustration which was not there in the manga, as he draws Momo in better detail and draws Jiji in vague detail, mainly to the fact that Okarun does not know Jiji yet

The goat jiji is finally here. I will defend him with my life.
Chr0ma 1y
So what's your opinions on Jiji ? Do you think you will like him ?

I really liked that notebook sequence. The detailed pretty Momo with the rushed Jiji is fun xD

Also the funny happy little cat addition
Very real Okarun. I used to draw in class as well.

Only one more episode I’m so sad. But that anatomy guy shit was hilarious af.

maybe im that one friend that's too hateful but in comparison to the other episodes i didn't like this one that much - i liked the ending though, super excited to see what awaits in the final episode!

This is the first new episode I've seen after catching up with the manga, I really love seeing how the scenes are being visualized in the anime

Realizing that the classical music remix is Okarun's theme

In this penultimate episode the foundations for the second season have already been laid, in fact I believe that at this point the first season will end with the recovery of the second ball which seems imminent barring twists that are always possible in this series. The second will begin with the mystery of Jiji's haunted house at its center.
TrulyPrideful 1y
Well that was something. Jiji is definitely my least favorite of the main crew so far, that being said I still think he's pretty good. I'll give him time to cook though because I'm sure I'll like him a lot eventually. I'm a little sad that the season ends next week, but there is no shot a season 2 isn't already in the works. Either way I think I'll be reading the manga once the season ends.

Dan Da Dan 1x11 - 6/10

Storyboard: Shinsaku Sasaki Episode Director: Toworu Hasutani Chief Animation Director: Kouji Haneda ___ Jin's way of talking is... something. He's not as delusional as Aira though, but not sure if that's a good pay-off. I liked his more calm moments though, and he has an interesting backstory to boot. I thought we would be going straight to the house after that scene, but I suppose the season finale will be devoted to Okarun and Momo (if the final scene of this episode is an indication). The chase after the anatomy statue was funny, and also surprisingly well-animated. Didn't expect the show to have still legs in that department, but it's nice to see.

Not gonna lie the animation is the only good thing about this anime idk why people were hyping it in the manga like all the characters feel cringy in a way. It might be only me but only one episode had a good story and was a 10 the rest are all below 7 or even 6. It feels like there is no main story to the show that makes you excited to watch more.
- Zeyl01 1y
  I feel like it's kind of the point for them to feel cringy? I mean no sane person would consider Aira or Jiji normal, and very few individuals are actually so obsessed with aliens (and now the occult) as Okarun is. The fact that practically all of the main cast seem to be at least a bit crazy makes the story feel more unserious and makes it stand out. Also, the main story does exist (and rn it's focused on finding Okarun's balls), but they're teens and it actually makes sense that the anime shows their lives as much as it shows the occult/aliens stuff.
  And well, not every story is for everyone, it's fine to have things that don't suit your taste. Personally, all the people I've talked to who watch Dan da dan find it really enjoyable.
- Shy28 1y
  thats exactly how im feeling watching it. i feel like they just looked for the most conventional things, the ones that "cause a stir" and mixed them up together.
  Obviously animation is really good but its definitely overhyped by manga readers
- Rindou97 1y
  Cause it's weird and fun.
  
  You call it "cringy", but I quite like this bunch of nonsense inspired in stuff like ultraman and kamen rider.
  
  It's stupid, I love it.
Kirokito 1y
I genuinely can't believe I am seeing people complain about how "cringy" the characters are lol do you know what anime you are WATCHING?

Asking for normal characters in Dandadan is like asking for darling in the franxx to be a good anime and that ain't HAPPENING
- Ausp 1y
  Your last line has me in a laughing fit.
  Someone recommended Darling in the Franxx to me as a good anime.
  
  Oh boy!
TheDyingShow 1y
This is what a Jiji does to an Okarun
ClownKing 1y
jijis super annoying but im sure he's meant to be that way! i trust the godtier author to know what theyre doing here
- Stormcrusher94 1y
  I felt the same way about Jiji in the beginning, like don't be doing that my boy Okarun, when he finally got a (girl)friend. He most definitely grew on me though.
- thriceuponatime 1y
  For his introduction hes at like a 100% lobotomy level, don't worry tho he gets a lot of really sweet moments hes genuinely chill af
arreglofloral 1y
i knew they were going to say that dandadan is overrated and that the plot is bad. do i care? absolutely not but i don't understand why they keep watching something they don't like. anyway, what a good episode, it felt very short and i can't believe there is only 1 more left (for now)
- thriceuponatime 1y
  I mean the "they" you are talking about are like the vast minority anyway. Both the manga and show are generally really highly rated, and deservingly so imo

As soon as I heard the anatomy model, I knew it was Sugita-san voicing him lmao
- BurritoBowl 1y
  So much Gintoki in those screams LOL
KOMBRAT 1y
Jiji is here let's gooooo
Acutemercy 1y
Haha, now its Okarun time to be jealous...the writer is so brutal
dango 1y
This is an anime that interests me. I was recommended to it by someone at my part-time job so I decided to check it out. That's why I haven't been able to get to the content of your post, but it's very interesting!
Rindou97 1y
How the fuck is this supposed to be 12 episodes if next episode is going to begin the Evil House arc.

Anyway, hilarous episode. In the european spanish dub they gave the anathomy doll Zoro's VA so it was so stupid I love it. Jiji has Pasta de Pescado's voice from Bobobo, then 10/10.
- Azuraug 1y
  The show is confirmed for 2 cours, so the next cour will be that arc
draz 1y
The Gintama guy playing the kintama guy, so fitting.
Azuraug 1y
Our boy Jiji is finally here. I can't wait to see all of his faces animated and his arc cause MAN ARE THEY GOING TO NAIL IT. SARU IS GOING TO COOK ONCE WE GET THERE NEXT
