QUICK TAKES

A chaotic yet fun plot! LMAO. I did get scared because I'm not particularly fond of horror/thriller genres but this one is an exception!

Kind of weirded out by those alien/ghosts that has appeared. Nonetheless, it was a good watch. Imma need to rewatch it over again to refresh my memory with this one.

Opening music is fire! 10/10

I recommend this anime! <3

Heard a lot of good things about this anime and finally watched the first episode yesterday, and was instantly hooked!

The pacing was great, and I liked how we were able to get a deeper look into the stories of Ken and Momo along the way.

The first episode introduced both the extraterrestrial and occult, with humor and action thrown in, making for a really fun watch.

The best thing about this anime is that it starts like any other, but everything changes as the story progresses. You might think you're watching a typical school-based episode, only for it to shift drastically into an alien abduction or a ghostly curse.

Pas pertama nonton dulu kaget banget sama pace nya yang cepat banget. Tapi lama kelamaan sadar kalo ini yang cocok dengan otak saya. Hahaha. Good chaotic energy. Jiwa Shonen-nya kena banget sih. Meskipun ada alur yang lumayan eksplisit, tapi tetap ada batas wajar.

The first episode already got me hooked! I love how random the concept is, ghosts and aliens together! Momo and Okarun are such an unexpected duo, but I already feel in love to them!

Colorful episode , i expected something more to be honest, play a lot with the much cliches from the Japanese humor like the exaggeration and the way of the talking, sometimes it's lost the point of the aim, but at the end it entertains and that gives me to ask more for this

This story is absurd and hilarious. There were many scenes that shocked me while watching it, the situations were truly terrifying. But the bond between Okarun and Ayase was great from the start.

It’s a great first episode, awkward at times, but definitely very funny, and it does a great job explaining both characters’ motivations and backgrounds. I really like this unlikely duo. It grabs your attention right from the start.

Watch this if you love chaotic energy! The clash between alien conspiracies and ghost stories is wild. The art style is stunningly unique. A perfect recommendation for fans of weird supernatural comedy.

It’s a thoroughly entertaining first episode; it moves at a brisk pace without feeling rushed, and sets the tone, pace and themes that will be explored throughout the serie

A pretty good opening to the series!! Amazing pacing and really spectacular visuals and animation here! Every move the characters made felt really fluid! And I also lovee the touch of comedy that isn’t too forced but flows really naturally through the episode✨

Beautiful pastel animation takes the cake in this series opener! Interest in occult builds some great chemistry between Momo and Takakura. The techno track that plays during action scenes is such a banger! stylish throughout. This is a solid watch!

The opening no one asked for but paid off hilariously LOL I love how the characters are introduced to each other. The unhinged behavior is real xD

I think I've already watched this episode three or four times; I never get tired of it. It's so funny and absurd, but at the same time, the animation is so brilliant and the characters are so charming that it makes you want to keep watching the series despite all its quirks.

This first episode sets the tone perfectly—fast, funny, mildly unhinged, and surprisingly heartfelt. Also, you will never look at urban legends the same way again.

As funny as the dorkiness of Momo and her new friend are, I remember this episode even more fondly for establishing their guts to stand up for each other, especially in the face of their dares to each other going wrong.

Episode one shows us that the supernatural is anything but lies! Using its quirky, mind bending animation, Dan Da Dan's Momo and Okarun pull us into a chaotic ride of ghosts and aliens. The hilarious dialogue keeps you howling. One final thing, don't let them take your BANANA!

Right away this show throws you into wild energy, supernatural vibes, humor, and a super engaging intro that feels fresh and exciting.

The anime delivers stunning visuals with excellent camera angles that elevate every scene. Several iconic moments stand out, especially when Turbo Granny appears and sprints out of the tunnel. It creates a sense of fear, yet blends it with comedy and a mind-blowing concept.

Just wrapped Dandadan Ep1—training focus thru Turbo Granny chase. Momo helps Okarun after bet sparks UFO probe, tunnel curse & that sweet first love spark between them. Phone bite nails nightmare comedy. Powers rushed tho. The duo's chemistry hooks me hard.

EPISODE CONTEXT

As episode 1 of 12, this is the series' foundation—introducing the central duo, their ideological rivalry, and the supernatural world that will consume their lives. Everything here is setup: the comedic dynamic, the escalating stakes, and the first hints of forces beyond either character's expectations. Episode 2, 'That's a Space Alien, Ain't It?!', picks up directly from the consequences set in motion here, meaning this premiere functions as the lit fuse for the entire season.
