Featured reviews
I'll consider this an all-rounder anime, every aspect of this anime is on point like animation, character development, humour evrything.
I personally think that DanDaDan is all about it's unique concept of connection between Aliens and Ghosts. This makes DanDaDan different then other animes and this is the only reason DanDaDan is getting this my love and applause from the audience.
The emotional touches given to the anime makes it much more better. The Acrobatic Silky Arc was the best part of this season.
At this moment the intro song is just a popular meme, it's very catchy. The music production team has done an amazing job.
Overall I was unable to find a single bad thing about this anime, everything was on point and I would love to watch the second part of this season.

I was skeptical at first with this anime, but seeing the art style and animation and then watching this first episode and loving every second of it i just binged it and cant wait for the next episode every week. Both the sub and dub for this anime come out at the same time which is a rarity and i love both. I was really routing for re:zero season3 to win this year(mostly because re:zero is one of my top 3 favorite anime) but after episode 7 its safe to say that this anime deserves anime of the year or at least give that single episode a reward. Like oh my god that was one of the most beautiful episodes I have ever seen.
I just finished Dandadan yesterday after binge-watching it in one day, and WOW. I was shocked at how much I truly enjoyed watching this show, starting it I thought I wouldn't like it, but the first episode FLEW BY and so did every episode after. The animation and cinematography is beautiful, some shots in this are stunning, I LOVE this style of animation. I've also heard that season 2 WILL BE BETTER. WHAT. If season 2 is better than this season, then it might be a top 10 anime. Even though there is so many good things about it, the only bad thing is how weird it is. This all started 'cause a KID'S balls got taken by an old women, keep that in mind, but I wouldn't say it ruined the enjoyabilitey of the series, I still absolutely loved this and the good towers WAY OVER the one bad thing.
Dandadan kicks off with an absolute banger of an intro
by Creepy Nuts that instantly grabs your attention and
sets the tone for the wild ride ahead. The anime blends
supernatural elements, action, and comedy in a way that
feels fresh and unique, giving new-gen anime fans
something truly exciting to look forward to
The show wastes no time immersing you in its
unpredictable and fast-paced story, revolving around
eccentric characters dealing with bizarre situations
involving aliens and ghosts. The animation quality is
top-tier, with stunning visuals that capture the chaotic
energy of each scene perfectly
But what really stands out is the potential this anime has.
With its dynamic storytelling, memorable characters, and fantastic world-building, Dandadan has all the makings of a new anime classic. The balance between its heart-pounding action, humor, and heartfelt moments makes it an easy 10/10 for me If you're looking for a unique, adrenaline-pumping anime that breaks away from typical shonen tropes, this is definitely one to keep your eyes on.

Being a manga reader first, I was quite skeptical at first, because I adored the writing and art-style of the manga, and I thought an anime adaptation for a manga this ambitious and genre bending would be watered down in both art and animation, especially when I saw the first looks (very skeptical of their being less details on characters) but all those worries soon dissolved away when I finally heard it's Science SARU doing it, not to mention their recent line-up Scott pilgrim, Devilman crybaby and keep your hands off Eizouken all match the zaniness and vibe of DandaDan, also studio founder Masaaki Yuasa is one of my favorite anime directors/animators of all time, worked on shows such as Ping pong, Tatami Galaxy and again Devilman.
Ever since the first episode drop, I've been anticipating the next week after week, as it does not pale comparison to the manga, sometimes even better. I was mainly worried because this was the first anime I read first, but now I know Dandadan not only cemented itself as a phenomenal manga but also a great anime.
