As someone who recently caught up with the manga (this ep is Chapter 1 and the manga is now on a break after Chapter 182), Dandadan is a wild ride and it just gets better and better. Enjoy the ride.
i love that you started this anime, probably my favorite new gen anime at the moment: a few little facts and just fun oppinions just from this episode. 1. Yes, Ken Takakura is an old school actor, people usually call him Japanese Clint eastwood, and the main joke is that young girls usuall prefer young actors or popstars, but Momo is different because she like the rough and overmasculine type, which also go with the irony that she has so great chemistry with this kid that at least from the exterior is the exact opposite and has the same name. 2. i dont know if you notice the voice actor from the Turbo Granny is the same as one kid you love so much and one day will become the King of the Pirates. 3. Momo is amazing, in fact the author was gonna write a manga about only her, but because of the demografic he keep being rejected, until he decide to create Ken so that they will share the main protagonist position, and so one of the best frindships/probably more in all anime was born. 4. all the ocult infodump Ken say about the ocult are real conspiracies and cryptids myths. 5. Turbo Granny is a real Japanese myth about a old woman that run at the speed of a car and that is a bad omen if she surpasses you. Also as disturbing as the aliens actions are, and i know is a little triggerin the depiction of they essentially trying to SA Momo, thats also a real conspiracy about aliens abduction using people to reproduce themselve, as mess up at it looks this wasnt just the author being creepy. There other cool easter eggs that i can share in other episodes, this show has so much and is super inspire in real life ocult myths, cryptids and aliens conspiracy that even if they are fun on their own i think is even more fun when you get all the context.
Good stuff here. Just wanted to add: 1. "I'm an awkward fellow, after all" is from an insurance commercial that Takakura Ken appeared in where he, as usual, plays an outwardly stoic character who cares deeply for his loved ones. 2. Pay attention to whenever Momo's earrings shine. Hint: it's related to Okarun 3. The Serpos are based off the design of the Dada aliens from Ultraman, with the head based on the Pegassa aliens from the same TV universe (Ultraseven) 4. Turbo Granny or 100 kilometer per hour Granny is a ghost/yokai of many names. Think of her like Bloody Mary, where each town has their own legend about her - she's supposed to be a jumpscare type of spirit whose main use is as a cautionary tale against driving too fast. Her usage in Dandadan is more literal though, with her being a speedster regardless of the setting. When they say 100 Kilo Granny they're not talking about her weight, they're just implicitly leaving out the "per hour" part because that's understood already in context.
Which also means that DDD is a story of SA survivors getting their agency back and their jaded protector, yups Ken also being SA even worse his sex organ was stolen.
2:10 This magazine is "Monthly MU", which has been published since the 70s and covers all kinds of occult topics around the world, such as ghosts, unidentified flying objects, unidentified creatures, prophecies, etc. 👽👻🛸😆 In the current work, it has been changed to "Monthly Poh" 😅The original "Mu" is, of course, taken from "The Lost Continent of Mu". 😊 and, Okarun's voice actor is Natsuki Hanae, who plays Tanjiro in "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" ✨🤗
Good reaction😄 Original DanDaDan manga author Yukinobu Tatsu was previously an assistant to Tatsuki Fujimoto and participated in the drawing of Chainsaw Man.
10:02 I think the design of this "real Serpo alien" is based on the villain "Mefilas alien" from the 1970s Japanese special effects hero drama "Ultra Seven" 🧐 The homage to Ultra Seven is also strongly expressed in the opening of Dandadan.😌
Bit late with the comment and you probably know by now but just in case: Ken Takakura is a famous "tough guy" actor from the 60s-80s, including appearing in the American movie "Black Rain". When Occult-kun(Okarun) says, "I'm an awkward fellow, after all", that is a direct quote from a series of insurance commercials Ken Takakura appeared in.
[Pikmin dances to the OP] 🎉🎉🎉🎉 2:22 [gets ready for the ride from 0 to 100 to 1000 to 10000 to] 4:32 when you and your bestie swap special interests for 10 minutes to see what its like 😂😂😂
Dandadan have a tons and many references, a misc of cultured stuff everywhere! \°A°/ Yes Takakura Ken is an japanese actor and that "I'm an awkward fellow" is from a old commercial UwU Also the aliens (2nd form) are inspired from Ultraman's enemy.
This first episode sent me to the manga because like you I really liked the characters but I needed to know where this was going. Anyway, I'm caught up in the manga now. The way these two kids were written is incredible. They're so… normal, all things considered.
Just a heads up, Episode 3 has an after-credits scene that is worth watching. All other episodes, you can close as soon as end credits start to avoid spoilers.
I hope the production keep up the pace with season 2. I was just alerted that the production team for the animation was having some issues with season 2. I just hope it's nothing serious. I hope they don't delay the release of season 2 for more than a year cause that will definitely kill the hype for the story.
this show is insane LOOOOL
we're a few weeks ahead over on patreon: www.patreon.com/ohkaty
Momo and Ken’s love story is one of the best that next gen anime has to offer - speaking from my experience repeatedly binging the manga.
One of my favorite reactors when she realized they were going to fall in love, she screamed “ROMANCE ANIME????” in response.
As someone who recently caught up with the manga (this ep is Chapter 1 and the manga is now on a break after Chapter 182), Dandadan is a wild ride and it just gets better and better. Enjoy the ride.
The alien actually have the same VA as Zoro and Turbo Granny has the same Va as Luffy!

Ah yes. You should receive your 'I survived the first episode of Dandadan' pin in the mail 💌
I love that Momorun is already relationship goals from jump.
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!!!!!! THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME!!!
2:10 This magazine is "Monthly MU", which has been published since the 70s and covers all kinds of occult topics around the world, such as ghosts, unidentified flying objects, unidentified creatures, prophecies, etc. 👽👻🛸😆
In the current work, it has been changed to "Monthly Poh" 😅The original "Mu" is, of course, taken from "The Lost Continent of Mu". 😊
and, Okarun's voice actor is Natsuki Hanae, who plays Tanjiro in "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" ✨🤗
Good reaction😄
Original DanDaDan manga author Yukinobu Tatsu was previously an assistant to Tatsuki Fujimoto and participated in the drawing of Chainsaw Man.
I’m so excited to watch this show again. You will love it!!
"Are they gonna fall in love?"
look at that episode title again :P
Turbo granny is voiced by the same va as luffy and the aliens where zoros va
In this episode of DanDaDan we see Luffy asking for Tanjiro’s meat and later bite Zoro’s
You gonna love this show. Some moments are weirdly aggressive but everything else is quality.
10:02 I think the design of this "real Serpo alien" is based on the villain "Mefilas alien" from the 1970s Japanese special effects hero drama "Ultra Seven" 🧐
The homage to Ultra Seven is also strongly expressed in the opening of Dandadan.😌
8:05 The voice of this Serpo aliens is Ryusei Nakao, the voice actor who plays Frieza in DBZ.🤗
and Zoro in One Piece.
I love it when new people find Dandadan just to see their reaction to Episode 7. 🙂
i'm scared
@@ohkaty well... You definitely should be...
@@ohkaty2 words: Tissue paper
@@frozenmj9562 don't spoil
I stopped the show on episode 6 because I heard about 7 and was afraid to continue 😐
Oh we’re starting unhinged chaos 😂

Turbo Granny: Luffy's VA
Creepy Aliens: Zoro's VA
Ken: Tanjiro's VA

When Momo and Okarun arrived at each spot, the moon appeared in both cases. Its shape is different.
It suggested that the UFO was mimicking the moon.
Dandadan? Now you got another subscriber, me! HaHa I love this show!
ty so much for watching!
4:29 Yes, Momo is using a little dirty language to mean "If there were no UFOs, I'd make you my maid" 😅
Dandadan have a tons and many references, a misc of cultured stuff everywhere! \°A°/
Yes Takakura Ken is an japanese actor and that "I'm an awkward fellow" is from a old commercial UwU
Also the aliens (2nd form) are inspired from Ultraman's enemy.
I'll tell you what this show is......Bloody PEAK!
this series is wild
He says in love as in "in love with the occult".
Hey there. When the aliens refer to bananas, they mean naughty bits in general
New subs. Great reaction. Gonna watch the next ones for sure!.
ty so much for watching!
You’re right, Momo does have a nice grandma!
this is a show about Ghosts, Aliens, Balls, Love, and most importantly, Balls.
And bananas
This first episode sent me to the manga because like you I really liked the characters but I needed to know where this was going.
Anyway, I'm caught up in the manga now.
The way these two kids were written is incredible. They're so… normal, all things considered.
Just a heads up, Episode 3 has an after-credits scene that is worth watching. All other episodes, you can close as soon as end credits start to avoid spoilers.
also at 2:40 he thought she loves aliens and stuff from when she stopped him getting bullied by pretending she likes his book at 1:50
If you already watch Mob Psycho 100, the animation by the Science SARU that made this DDD has similar fluidity that studio Bone did for MP100.
When Aliens refer to Bananas, they are referring to reproductive organs in general.
Imagine if Momo was like Carrie (Stephen King's). Everyone would be toast.
u: i like granny
show: bet, we give u turbo granny, thats what u wanted right`?
XD
We wait for ep7 🙏
You’re in for a WILD ride!
pikmin dance pikmin dance pikmin dance 👯
Also don't worry it gets normal soon!! (probably)
Can you react to dandadan in tandem with ranma ½, both are crazy situational anime i love which are kinda in the same genre. 😅
❤
Wait until you see Grandma
Ah yes, episode 7 here we come.
Hahaha crazy right? You will wonder what is happening?.
I hope the production keep up the pace with season 2. I was just alerted that the production team for the animation was having some issues with season 2. I just hope it's nothing serious. I hope they don't delay the release of season 2 for more than a year cause that will definitely kill the hype for the story.
Isn’t season 2 confirmed for July 2025
You got a source for that?
@@LINKedup101 it’s in the teaser trailer
@@kevinlin343 lol not you the main comment about the delay
