Filled to the brim with charming characters, genre eccentricities, and some of the most memorably stylized animation I’ve ever seen, it’s hard not to have a total blast with Dan Da Dan. As a romcom, it fulfills both of those elements with loads to spare. The humor is consistently entertaining as the

Definitely a strange way to end off the season—it would work fine as a cliffhanger to a random episode but not the season finale—but this is still really fun. It’s easily the most painful episode to watch; Okarun’s attempts to incite interest within Momo are as hilarious as they are unbearable, whil

Jiji is pretty hysterical! His wild energy fits into the group extremely easily and makes for great interactions with even the supporting characters (on a side note, Momo’s friends are the BEST). And this whole thing is such a ride. The central chase is filled with so many random and insane turns th

As much as I enjoy the action beats, it’s the slice-of-life shenanigans that I feel really embody what this show is all about. The alien confrontation is less about conflict and more about building out the worlds in which they inhabit and how they connect with people. Also, Aira character developmen

So insane in its trippy and beautifully animated concepts. The use of water and colors is gorgeous and fierce and the action frames are filled with stylistic choices to enhance the entertainment at hand. There is unfortunately no shortage of Dan Da Dan’s less compelling aspects (everyone is lacking

Sonny Boy flashbacks I’m already sold on Aira and her hysterical delusion. It’s her show and they’re all living in it. And for someone who got caught clacking her teeth with someone, Momo is really unaccepting of misunderstandings (because she’s in love).

Dan Da Dan has always excelled at utilizing its stylized animation to heighten its visual storytelling, but I don’t even know where to start with what this episode achieves. In a way, it almost makes sense. Of course a show about ghosts and the paranormal is going to eventually delve into subject ma

Very clever in how this continues conflicts already established without dismissing what’s come before, and it’s all as silly and zany as ever. And, as the first time the teen romance aspect really comes to the forefront, this is really cute. They’re kinda both huge losers; I love it.

Utilizes an explosive action beat to elevate the animation and music to even greater heights than before. Very silly and hilarious as always, but also has quite the entertaining urgency and moments of pure hype, not to mention an affecting sweetness at the end.

“Your granny is so young.” No kidding. Still in love with the art style and, now that the story seems to be going places, I’m just intrigued to see how that plays in whatever comes next. The main dynamic is still the highlight, but the inclusion of Momo’s grandmother as this sardonic and weirdly h

Absolutely hysterical, mostly thanks to the brilliantly written dynamic between our two leads—how they bicker and how they have to work together. I love how much this show is chock full of creative concepts, some of which are SO out of left field, they just might work.

Takes “matching each other’s freak” to another level
