C&C - Dan Da Dan Season 1 Talkback [7/26-10/11]

[shany94a]

So the school nurse is also a dominatrix. Budget cuts, I guess.

Mom and Aria naked/near-naked deathmatch? I'm all for it.

So Okarun meets Momo's first crush, now he HAS to fight him. At least they helped the boxer crab guy.

 

[CNFan1995]

Previously on Dan Da Dan: Momo, Okarun and Aira make it through the alien assault by combining their powers; the alien that was supposedly defeated, appears before them.

Episode 11: First Love

Opening: Otonoke by Creepy Nuts
Ending: Taidada by Zutomayo

Synopsis: Momo's childhood friend Jiji begins living in Momo's house; Jiji has been worrying about apparitions in the house he moved into and has come seeking help from Seiko.​

 

[Kitschensyngk]

You have a Halloween marathon coming up...
You have a series about ghosts and aliens and people getting possessed...
AND YOU CHOSE UZUMAKI?!
I mean, I know you own the show, but have you even READ THE REVIEWS!?

Last time: got blood?

They're always so cool until they open their mouths.

So what Ken Takakura qualities does HE possess?

You may want to ask Thor about that Ragnarok thing.

Does she want to play charades?

And good night.

What happened to the milk of human kindness? Did that mantis alien drink it all?

You say genius, I say kiss-up.

Words like "testicle" should only be used in context.

They told you to trust elderly Haruko?

Who else you gonna call?

Frankly, I don't know what you saw in him.

You literally just arrived here last week.

And today's lesson is conveniently about jealousy.

Pretty sure she's not interested in him anymore.

Don't compare yourself to him, it's not healthy.

I don't think Momo's the kind of girl who's swayed by milk.

I can see this guy's got some muscle on him.

There is a LOT we need to fill Jiji on.

I hear William Tell...

Can't stop won't stop don't stop.

Yes, they do all their own stunts.

I think they may be more than qualified with this poltergeist thing.

What? They're just plastic.

She's rock-paper-scissoring him to death.

Damn Momo, you good.

When a man loves an anatomical model...

Inspirational. Weird, but inspirational.

So are they doing what they did with Assassination Classroom? Because season two is fully dubbed...

 

[Yojimbo]

Of course they'd add on another obnoxious character.. or is he. I'm feeling Jiji as much as I am Aira. Not very. But I guess it's gonna be a love quadrangle from now on. shrug.

Though the cursed house sounds like a fun threat to deal with. Classic supernatural yokai. But with Dandadan, there's gotta be a crazy twist.

That was odd Jjji was confused why Momo calls Seiko "grandma" instead of "auntie." hmm.

A running anatomy model? That's one way to break up teen angst, lol. Oh so it seems the animated model has the second ball (or it's a red herring)! Ha, and Momo again with the MVP quick thinking of snagging the heart to impair the model.

Aww.... parallel love story.

Though the only concern is I have is next week is the season finale and in the manga this arc is way longer than past arcs so far. The previous ones only had 8-9 chapters per arc. This new arc is 22 chapters and this episode was about 3-4 chapters. So this season could end on a cliffhanger depending on where they stop...

 

[shany94a]

Jiji is really a PITA, wouldn't bother me if he got, oh, I don't know, eaten or something. The anatomy mannequin was freakish, even for this show. Poor Okarun doesn't know what to do half the time, Seiko remains largely indifferent, and I still think Momo and Aira need to have a knockdown, drag out, fight to the finish.

Episode 12: Let's Go to the Cursed House
Saturday 10/11 at 12:30 AM
Opening: Otonoke by Creepy Nuts
Ending: Taidada by Zutomayo

Synopsis: Momo and Okarun head to Jiji's house to investigate the case of Jiji's family; there are several shadows watching them.​

 

[Kitschensyngk]

Last time: Old flames, amirite?

Do you always keep things you dig out of the garbage?

His ball was a bauble.

Jiji and Turbo Granny getting along.

"Oh, I wish I had some kind of superpower too!"
SHOW SEASON TWO DAMMIT!

Last episode, dude, last episode...

Karaoke wars.

Momo, you have weird taste in guys.

Just your normal anatomical model coming to life. No need to worry.
Think of it as like Toy Story or Night at the Museum.

You know, it suddenly occurs to me, this show is kinda weird.

Dude, go away, I'm trying to sleep.

*sees title*
Can we go eat some Italian food instead?

Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't.

Giant snake. Remember that.

They actually SAW Nessie.

Hey, YOU two are bonding.

His name is Ken Takakura. She likes Ken Takakura the actor. They share a name.

Wasn't Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken filmed here?

I went to a college on top of a hill. Suck it up.

Well, the neighbors seem friendly.

Nice place, really.

There are a bunch of silhouettes outside.

Time for hot springs all of a sudden.

"So you in love with Momo?"
Wow, so upfront.

"I like her times ten!"
"I like her times a hundred!"
"TIMES A THOUSAND!"
"TIMES INFINITY!"

They once clicked teeth together.

Adult swim! All kids outta the hot spring!

"Your house is bigger on the outside!"
It's a reverse TARDIS.

Oh lord, it's episode one all over again.

I'm more a fan of crocodiles myself.

Has that room always been there?

So yeah, this show has a habit of ending seasons on cliffhangers.
If you don't want to wait for Toonami to show it, season two is on Crunchyroll and Netflix and wherever else you can find it.
Trust me, you won't regret it.

 

[Yojimbo]

Augh. Not just a cliffhanger but the Lost season 1 cliffhanger.

Wonder if any of the things mentioned on the train ride are relevant or just red herrings. The specific timeline of 200 years ago comes up then and when Jiji talks about his town's volcano's history. Coincidence? I think not. Perhaps the villain or secondary villain of this arc is the tsuchinoko cryptid which turns out to be a giant snake or something or a kappa.

Jiji is being haunted by an entity even when he's far away from home. Hmm, is it attached to the house or to him? An extra addition to the house that shouldn't be there. A bunch of talismans in the wall. Smells like a curse or a hex.

And the town has a bunch of creepo pervs and once again Momo is in a precarious situation. Are they connected to Jiji's supernatural problem? Hmm. The way their character designs are so stylized compared to the main cast makes me think yeah. Maybe it's a cult thing and there's some local god or spirit that turns out to be the tsuchinoko. Feels there's going to be multiple threats in this arc. And feels like a given Jiji will get supernatural powers, too.

 

[shany94a]

Last episode for a while it seems, so of course it ends with Momo trapped underwater. Sure hope she can hold her breath until Season 2 premieres.

Hmm, if Dandadan heads to a rerun slot next week - probably the most optimistic projection for season 2 would be January. But I am thinking spring around the time Rooster Fighter premieres.

I know nothing is simple anymore but it should really go into season 2, especially since Crunchyroll aired all the dub episodes.
