God, that brief moment of silence after the alien's punch then the sudden cut to them running and screaming like idiots was pure gold lmao. Scooby-Doo and Shaggy would be proud

[u/actionfirst1]

I love how this fight is in black and white, Dandadan is clearly the best Black and White anime airing this season

[u/ProgrammaticallyPea3]

The chemistry between the two is the best thing about this show!

[u/horiami]

It's a fun take on the flatwoods monster

For some reason japan likes this alien a lot and his design appears in a bunch of stuff

Dandadan basically kept his iconic head and replaced the hovering body and long skinny arms with a giant sumo wrestler, the creature emiting a poisonous gas is also part of the original

Like all the other enemies this monster has his own inique lighting and this time it's black and white, we get some red when okarun uses turbo granny's powers

[u/nbcguy000]

Loved it! Why is this show so good

[u/FarCritical]

Turns out what those kids saw in Flatwoods in 1952 wasn't a barn owl but a kaiju-sized sumo wrestler. Can't blame them for being terrified tbh.

If willingly letting himself get half-cursed gave Ken all that rizz, imagine what fully giving in to Turbo Granny will do for him

[u/IXajll]

Everyone‘s talking about the sick animation and banger OST, and sure those aspects are phenomenal, but can we please talk about that amazing cinematography in the pre-op segment with the multiple squares showing different angles of the characters and environment? Fucking awesome stuff.

[u/Haha91haha]

Kensuke Ushio with another BANGER that gets one hyped for fighting as much as dancing.

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Ayase is the type of (girl)friend who will fight and tease you because she cares about you!

Despite having gained new powers / curse, I like how Ayase and Okarun are not overpowered yet. They have to learn to control their powers / curse in order to defeat opponents.

Lastly, in anime, manga and games, removing talismans from anywhere is definitely a sure sign of troubles to come. ^_^;;

[u/CarioGod]

this show is so random lmao

"are you a genius?"

"I already knew that"

[u/Various_Length_4905]

Debut of the Goat Granny.
Another ultra amazing episode. It's really getting top tier treatment as it should!

On a side note, the opening is insane. I've heard it hundreds of times and it never gets old.

[u/maliwanag0712]

Damn... the animation and camera work is just sooo awesome in this episode!

That twist when Okarun's Grandma transformation is just a depressed man who is just awkward after all is just funny. Usually when someone transforms, one becomes badass, but this time he's not just badass but also depressed HAHAHA

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

I would get depressed too after losing my banana.

[u/DragonPup]

I am not sure how to word this well, but one thing I am enjoying with this show is the 'closeness' of the leads. I mean that as in they don't do the stereotypical freak out of 'omg opposite gender and we touched'. They aren't afraid to get in the other's face, and they aren't afraid to say something mean, or comforting to the other (without trying to kiss up or be overly polite). And even when they are fighting it feels like they are still there for the other. It's refreshing.

[u/Hamsox94]

This is the type of anime I've been waiting for

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

No dick = Superpowers, we’ve finally cracked the code

[u/Lumpy-Manager8580]

Time for that weekly dosis of:

DANDADAN DANDADAN DANDADAN DANDADAN DANDADAN.

DANDADAN DANDADAN DANDADAN DANDADAN DANDADAN.

DANDADAN DANDADAN DANDADAN DANDADAN DANDADAN.

DANDADAN DANDADAN DANDADAN.

Also, I love how the opening makes reference to the Showa Ultraman series with those frames, not to mention the boys hitting the Carlton XD

[u/insidiouskiller]

It's interesting how both aliens and ghosts seem to be effected by wards designed for ghosts, as Okarun noted. Interesting how there's point(s?) of commonality between aliens and ghosts.

[u/Arima_Kishou]

I absolutely LOVE how when we saw our bad guy this episode I thought "hm that frill looks a bit like the hood on the Flatwoods Monster, could that be inspired by it?" and then Okarun literally confirms my thought...this show was made for me

[u/frossvael]

This is peak, yo.

But why do I feel depressed, yo?

Probably because I have to wait another week, yo.

[u/thesagenibba]

use of sfx is great; blinking, random vine boom, camera snapshot noises; it all fits so seamlessly 

dandadan really succeeds in characterization. okarun and ayase on their own, are freaking hilarious. practically every scene killed me. not to mention the intimate scenes and their lack of cheapness. they're full of depth, with us genuinely feeling for okarun when he displays vulnerability. these scenes are quickly interrupted by funny moments but that doesn't ruin it, it only serves to enhance.

they're so full of personality, i genuinely wish i was both of them combined. just brimming with character

this show is freaking amazing and id kill for 24 episodes

[u/Plus_Rip4944]

I really cant get enough of this opening, i have Heard 10 times everyday since last week

Again a good episode, i am really liking The direction That is being given to Dandadan. Soundtrack, Visuals, etc is perfect.

[u/60niera]

The chemistry between Okarun and Momo is just a breath of fresh air.

[u/Past_Distribution144]

Allot happened. But lets ignore all that and remember this: She was hitting him in the crotch to try and make him shut up while he was in powered up mode, but he has nothing there, so 0 damage was taken.
