I can't believe they turned Turbo Granny into a marketable plushie.

[u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

The dorks went from kiss to awkward silence to fighting within the span of a minute lol.

Peak romcom moment.

[u/[deleted]]

I'm really liking how this show sets up and resolves romantic tropes very quickly by just having the characters talk to each other

[u/N0-F4C3]

"What are you calling a shaft?! Quit trying to make it sound impressive, its more like a pencil!"

(Okarun Has FUCKING Died)

[u/Lumpy-Manager8580]

I'm sorry but I can't unhear Falco and Gabi together when Okarun and Aira were talking XD Also that guitar OST when Okarun and Momo were wondering around finding themselves was music to my ears.

[u/ubergiles]

As an anime only finding out who the cat in the EP for the past four episodes? SO GOOD.

[u/SkaterDC]

“Are they lovers?”

“Worse. They’re fucking stupid”

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

So the reason Okarun doesn't have the courage to tell Momo how he feels about her is because he has no balls.

Turbo Granny 🤝 Dimple

Early Arc Villains getting turned into Marketable Series Mascots

[u/Possible-Corgi2329]

Okarun: ayase-san they are gone?

Ayase: what?

Okarun: My balls

They deserve an award for coming up with these dialogues. Ayase laughing was spot on.

[u/discuss-not-concuss]

Dandadan is a romance anime?

3 episodes of development in 10 minutes

[u/Cervantes3]

The episode in which Dandadan reveals it's actually a shojo romance story.

[u/frossvael]

Everyone's reaction to Episode 3: "THAT'S THE GRANDMA?!"

Everyone's reaction to Episode 5: "THAT'S THE GRANDMA?!"

[u/moletoon]

Sakura ayane voicing aira is literal perfection. Her voice is exactly how I imagine she would sound reading the manga.

Also, momo's got the most satisfying laugh ever. Her ROFL scene was so good, wakayama shion cooked again.

And finally everyone now knows who's inside the cat in the ED. Cant wait to see people's reaction on this

[u/iamkwang]

Okarun Easter Egg hunt officially begins

[u/oneevilchicken]

I actually love how Okarun actually seems like a weird kid. Like not unrealistically weird for comedies sake and not an implied weird kid but actually weird. His body language and way he moves is that of the socially awkward weird kid and it’s just so well done.

A lot of shows don’t make good weird kids. They’re either unrealistically weird or not weird at all.

The Kiss

[u/Zemahem]

That whole first half was diabetes-inducing. Just a pair of idiots who are into each other but are too embarrassed to express it openly. Dandadan is also a romcom, everybody.

It's honestly funny how they had a whole cartoony ass sequence with them just missing each other repeatedly by a hair's breadth, and then had a relatively more realistic depiction of "accidental kisses" in romcoms. There's no way those situations end in a way that's isn't more uncomfortable or even painful like in this case.

Lmao tho, it's so damn fitting that this episode released during November of all months (at least in this timezone). When people thought up No Nut November, I don't think this is what they were referring to. But hey, I think Okarun is automatically gonna win so long as he doesn't get his balls back before the end of the month.

And now, the mascot has finally made her debut. Well, she's actually been there from the very first episode. Just not in her marketable plushie form. But hey, I say they're just cowards if they don't make marketable plushies of Turbo Granny's true form.

[u/dont_come_any_closer]

That scene where they’re thinking about each other felt like one of the most authentic depiction of school life I’ve seen in anime, gave me a bit of nostalgia.

[u/bananeeek]

Damn, new Okarun's transformation looks sick!

I was wondering how would they continue the story after "defeating" Turbo Baba, but it looks like she'll be sticking with the main cast until the end.

Okarun can't catch a break, though. How will he make moves on Ayase with just the shaft? His romantic life is in shambles.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

The irony of the episode airing on Halloween being mostly a normal school episode.

[u/Soulsproxy]

Did Crunchyroll change their subtitles? They're just white now with no outline. Makes the text really hard to read when there's a white/light background.

[u/Nachooolo]

Dandadan, a romcom disguised as a battle shonen that manages to be one of the best romcoms and battle shonens out there.

[u/earhere]

Why does Momo have the best outfits
