Yasashii sekai e

Unbelievable! This episode not only made me cry but also brought back a flood of memories from several anime: Violet Evergarden (the mother and daughter episode), Erased (its blend of violence and love), Jujutsu Kaisen (its fighting style), and Omori (the mother felt eerily similar to HELLMARI, I mean her hair).

The emotion was so intense and unexpected; this episode truly made my day! I absolutely loved the mother-daughter relationship and the fight scenes, which were masterful.

The magnificent fight, well-written story, and beautiful music compelled me to give this wonderful episode a perfect 10/10 score!

This episode carries an intense emotional gravity from the very first scene, instantly drawing you into its world. Even without mentioning the stunning animation, the storytelling alone strikes deeply, creating an impact that feels like it pierces straight through you. The Dan Da Dan team has clearly poured so much heart, effort, and dedication into this episode, and I think we can all feel that commitment in every frame. Words alone can't capture the full depth of what I experienced while watching. It's a testament to how attachment and connection can transcend the boundaries of life and death, making the narrative resonate on a universal level. All my love and respect to the incredible Dan Da Dan team for crafting something so powerful.

I may have been a little steadfast in wondering why on earth the fight with the yokai from last episode didn't end there. Goodness me I understand it now.

I don't cry often at TV. I mean I can, I have, but it's really got to hit hard. And despite it being primarily a comedy, despite it being primarily a shonen action, despite all that, I was crying at this episode. And that's crazy to me.

Never have I ever seen a more chillingly upsetting episode than this one. Everything about this episode was just incredible. The way the camera panned; the movements in POV made everything feel so real. The contrast between the mute of moments and vivid, bright shots in others. The character design in the backstory, the voice acting range, the music. Literally every part of this episode was beautiful. I felt so crushed as we saw the running, so utterly crushed, so sad, and without closure. And I don't think it's a spoiler to say there was no real build for this. It was just 14 minutes of plot before I began crying this episode. 14 minutes. And yet it didn't feel forced, or made specifically to make me cry. This episode was seamed so flawlessly into the plot, so well thought out, so simple but strong in its own message.

This is, quite genuinely, one of the greatest standalone episodes of television I've seen. I don't think that's unfair. It was incredible. Just the fact this whole episode revolves around the protagonist trying to reclaim his "jewels" and yet I still cried despite how ridiculous the plot of this show can be.

10/10. One of the best episodes of television I've ever watched.

This episode was so touching and brought so much more background into the antagonist of the episode, to the point where everyone felt sympathy and the MC was sad. From the fight scene to the background story i saw no flaws, animation was perfect and the story was even better. The ending also gave you the satisfaction you needed after such a rollecoaster. Futhermore it was a good way of introducing a new sidecharacter into the main story of dandadan and it also added a background that was more intracate then most animes for that charater while they introduced them. While i havent watched that many anime's, never in any of em ive seen this kind of introduction for a sidecharacter. It was an absolute banger!!

In Dandadan's Episode 7, what starts as a wild, high-energy battle quickly shifts into something unexpectedly heartfelt. While the show is known for its intense action, this episode stands out for how it explores deeper emotions. Just when you think it's all about the fight, the story takes a turn, diving into a moving backstory that brings surprising empathy to the characters. This blend of intense action and genuine emotion makes Episode 7 one of the most memorable installments so far. It's an impressive mix of thrills and feels, proving Dandadan can hit hard in more ways than one.

The episode doesn't just deliver on action but leaves viewers with a lasting sense of connection to the characters. The emotional depth adds layers to what could have been a straightforward supernatural showdown, making it resonate on a personal level. If you're looking for an episode that showcases the heart and soul of Dandadan, Episode 7 is it.
