Dan Da Dan: First Encounter

I'm not one to cherry pick this type of humour, but some of the sexual scenes were just really unnecessary.

The aliens wanting to reproduce is fine, okarun comedically losing his "manhood" was fine, but my problem is with how the show depicts sexual assault.

On the first and last episodes of season 1 Momo is *almost* sexually assaulted by groups of people. It gives me a horrible taste. Not only how easy they shrug it off, but also how fetishised it comes off as.

I don't believe there's many good reasons to visually depict sexual violence. If trauma from SA is relevant to a character's backstory (which it literally isn't in dan da dan???) it can be shown in other ways besides literally showing the exact way the character was abused, they could talk about it, they could have behaviours that foreshadow it, but it does not need visuals attached

If SA is a theme a show uses, it needs to be handled *very* delicately, and it's important to do this tastefully. Dan da dan did not even attempt to tastefully portray SA, instead they made it just another silly scene.

I like the rest of the show, I like the characters, I like the concept, but these scenes seriously ruin it for me.

It is an anime with a very characteristic identity of its own, which even feels apart from the manga (on which the show is based). They offer a particular value to some moments by adding scenes that are not originally there and this is what gives it a different essence, but close to the plot of spirits - mystery - aliens. I have to confess that, even though I have already read the manga, there are still emotional moments capable of bringing tears to my eyes within the hilarious situations that the protagonists live. The origin stories of spirits are certainly one of my weak points. Thank you for reading my review.

At first it started chaotic with this Anime, maybe a bit of a cliché, but the last episode, episode 7 just went nuts, with the visuals with the story telling, the characters. It is one of the best episodes of Anime this year definitely, and one of the better ones in general. It checks all the boxes. The team has done a extremley good job. The visuals are like a movie, fluid and in some moments in the retrospective shots, you fortget that it is a anime you are wathcung and not a movie. The charactera, even for a such short screen time are so well portraid and you feel so involvede with them. The movies and shows that are now writen, and maid by Hollywood, and the streaming services, could learn a lot from this show. Extremely well done, congrats!

The Dan Da Dan movie is a visual feast, delivering an exhilarating experience from start to finish. One of the most striking aspects of the film is its art style. The animation is stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp lines that perfectly capture the chaotic energy of the story. Each frame feels alive, and the character designs are particularly standout, bringing to life the quirky and unique personalities from the manga.

The film moves at an incredibly fast pace, but it never feels rushed. Whether it's the intense fight scenes or the more personal, character-driven moments, everything flows seamlessly. The action sequences are a huge highlight, showcasing dynamic choreography and creative use of powers. Each fight feels grand and thrilling, keeping you on the edge of your seat, while still maintaining emotional weight through the characters' interactions and development.

What's even more impressive is how well the movie integrates the three episodes it covers. They feel tightly connected, with no awkward transitions or disjointed pacing. The story is cohesive, making it easy to stay immersed in the world. Overall, Dan Da Dan delivers an electrifying mix of high-speed action, stunning visuals, and heartfelt moments that will leave both fans of the series and newcomers wanting more.
