Dandadan has been one of the most anticipated animes this year. I hadn’t read the manga, so I knew very little about this story, but I was excited to see if it lived up to all of the hype.
They dropped 6 subbed episodes, and the first dubbed episode this week. I put it on excited to see what chaos was about to unfold. Let’s talk about my thoughts on the first episode.
Storyline: Momo Ayase is a high school girl who believes in ghosts but not aliens, while her classmate Ken Takakura, whom Momo nicknames “Okarun”, believes in aliens but not ghosts. In a bet to determine who is correct, the two decide to separately visit locations associated with both the occult and the supernatural - Momo visiting the former, and Okarun visiting the latter. Momo is abducted by a group of aliens who accidentally unblock her chakras, enabling latent psychic abilities. Meanwhile, Okarun is possessed by a spirit who takes over his body. They defeat the aliens together by using Momo’s abilities and Okarun’s possessed form.
The rest of the story follows the two, as they team up with fellow students, friends, family, and new acquaintances to fight spirits and aliens.
