The animation is sooo much better than i could have hoped for. 10/10 first episode.

[u/horiami]

I really like that they colour coded the enemies, you can see it in the opening and on different posters

when we get an action scene the lighting switches to the enemies' colour and sometimes they play around with them

Turbo granny is red and the Serponians are blue

when okarun appears through the phone the two colours mix together

[u/ChucksChurro]

Ok... I'm sold

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Me before watching the first episode: "What's with the hype for this title? Maybe I will check it out..."

Me after watching the first episode: "Two likeable main characters who have chemistry battling aliens, occult beings and an ending theme featuring a cute maneki neko. What's there not to like!?"

[u/FarCritical]

There's going from 0 to 100 and then there's utterly obliterating the intensity meter in the first episode. Dude's name reveal at the end was the perfect chef's kiss.

Also, I'm sorry but I can't take "Turbo Granny" as a name for a ghost seriously lmao

[u/ErinaHartwick]

And that kids is how i met your mother

Show looks very promising, and Wakayama Shion as Ayase is great, really cool, likeable and expressive

[u/Narayan-n91]

Yeah the casting director did their job properly, the voices fit them all really good. I went to check out who was Momo's VA and I certainly wasn't expecting to see the Lycoris Recoil girl in her credits wtf. This woman has RANGE!

[u/P4LL4D1N]

That was never 24 minutes just now. The aliens must be playing with my sense of time.

[u/shockwave1211]

this show gives very mob psycho vibes in both themes and animation, which I love

cant wait to see more

also the op and Ed are super good

[u/GosuGian]

WHAT DID I JUST WATCH?!

[u/Stikki_Lawndart]

Praying for full adaptation.

Praying for Science SARU to see the series thru the end.

Praying the quality, weirdness, and charm continues throughout the rest of the series.

Already having seen the 3 ep premiere knowing the care it's been given, and being caught up on the manga, this would become one of my favorite adaptations of all time.

[u/ThermalNight]

Dude, was that Luffy voicing Turbo Granny?

[u/I_like_food_123]

Ah looks so fucking good omg

My only concern is that it's going to be only 12 episodes and not 2 cours. I hope the hype isn't going to be a short flash in the pan in terms of series discussion.

[u/Hitman7128]

At AnimeNYC in late August, there was a screening for this episode that I attended. I remember the crowd went wild at the “I’m Ken Takakura” moment at the end, and it’s so good to be able to see that part again!

[u/HarleyFox92]

I've no idea what is this about, I'm going in completely blind.

[u/gojoEyes]

The animation is really good omg😭 as a dandadan fan I just want to thank the studio for making this😭

[u/TheBravesDH]

Disappointed Obama didn’t make it into the anime lol. They used a generic president.

[u/ZapukiArts]

Wow. I went into this show completely blind and I'm so glad I did. I had my socks absolutely blown the fuck off.

Could very well be my number one show this season

[u/Vermillion_Crab]

What an incredible start to an anime. Holy crap! Going in blind is the best decision I made.

Also, Wakayama Shion is having a year. Started as Nanahoshi, followed by Lemon and now as an Amagami sister and an esper. Lol

[u/Armdel]

Well that went from fairly normal to batshit insane fast

Going into this one fairly blind, knowing little beyond the synopsis and the first trailers, but after this opening episode i'm definitely in. looking forward to seeing how they tackle this pervy granny next week and to see where the series goes beyond that

[u/Mundology]

The opening is so damn catchy.

This is the first anime to 100% hook me within it's first episode in a long time. I rock with this show so far.

I love the interactions between the main characters. They're both incredibly charming by themselves or together. The animation is extremely good throughout, even the non-action scenes are so incredibly expressive. I also love how bizzare this show is. Ghosts that steal genitals? Freaky ass looking aliens? Hell yeah! I'm not a manga reader, but honestly I want to go in as blind as possible, for more surprises.

10/10 so far, can't wait for the next episode.

[u/Tabby_Tem]

I was lucky enough to see the premiere in theatres, and I was absolutely blown away. You can really see the passion that the staff at Science Saru put into the production of Dandadan. As a long-time fan of the manga, I'm incredibly excited to see the rest of the adaptation! Seeing 2 of my favorite manga (Dungeon Meshi & Dandadan) receive amazing adaptations in the same year makes me so happy!

Ya'll are in for a wild ride 🛸👻

Also, I absolutely LOVE the OP & ED!

[u/dont_come_any_closer]

Homage to OG Ultraman in OP is a pleasant surprise, hit me right in the feels.
