Cutest arsonist

Fuck Momo

I haven't seen today's episode yet, but if Aira isn't in it, then I might just say never mind to S2 and just rewatch Aira's scenes from S1 since she's best girl and Momo a shit

TOTAL WORM DEATH

Glad that they did justice to the Okarun VS Evileye, I remember being scared that it wouldn't live up to that fan animation.
The fan animation still did some angles more dynamic than the final version but I'm fine with what we got.
Science Saru is quickly becoming one of my favorite animation studios.

>>280670582 (OP)
She needs to be punished for this

>>280670685
Aira will be in later episodes

>>280670582 (OP)
At which point of the invasion will the Anime stop at? Or will it be able to adapt the whole thing?

>>280671976
The anime will not get to the invasion. It will end after Vamola's introduction.

>>280671785
Cute daughteru

>>280672002
Really? Was the training that happened in-between really that long?

>>280672028
The Evil Eye arc takes some wrapping up (training and maid cafe) and then they actually have to do the kaiju battle.

>>280672017
Cute sisters

cute

>>280672323
I think manga smolmo is cuter but they did a good job

>>280672430
I know it's a manga, but why does Science Saru insist on giving the chibis real eyes? Tatsu perfected the big unrealistically huge pupil shape for kids and girls, but SS keep fucking with it

>>280671838
I love the use of colors in the anime. The red really stands out beautifully against the purple.

>>280670582 (OP)
I’m glad Kita Oba is alive still, I was worried

The fight was very well done

Can an Earthling boy and a Sumerian girl be in a relationship?

>>280672600
Absolutely, but only if I'm the earthling boy

Momo on the front page!

>>280671647
>uncensored handholding
Most degenerate couple in shounen.

>>280672963
They do it flagrantly in public where everyone can see, the perverts

>>280672626
You're not fooling anybody, Kinta.

Kinta will get buff with his nanoskin.

>>280670605
Don't mind if I do!

>>280673094
...Kept you waiting, huh?

>>280673187
Dude already has the frame to be an absolute unit, he just needs to work out like Okarun.

>>280673297
I hope he gets a training arc too.

>>280670582 (OP)
Both Momo and EE seem to be strongest characters in this series so far and they both have huge earrings. Does earrings = power?

>>280670582 (OP)
cute

>>280673456
Anon might be on to something here.

I wonder since Evil Eye basically layered over Jiji's body, Jiji'd feel some after effect of the blows he got (dampened through EE) when he snaps back conscious - maybe a kind of lessened sore or numbness for a while...

>>280673355
>train
KINGta was injure so he’scbeen only using 10% of his power in the series so far.

>>280673667
General Kinta is out there, actively keeping our planet safe all by himself. He's bound to get a few injuries in the process

>>280671547
Worst girl is Momo though

>3 episodes in and FMC has⁴ not appeared even once
This shit is so lame, where the FUCK is Aira?

Gross Kouki owes me sex

i'm gonna blackmail her

>>280670685
Aira won't be on the next episode too, you have to wait until episode 5.

>>280673858
Kissing Kouki's sweaty unbathed nipples

because I'm blackmailing her

>>280673858
>>280673906
She seems like a totally normal and not suspicious member of society.

>>280674076
Kouki's pygmies won't be able to save her once I start blackmailing her and develop her anus

Tatsu isn't going to make that faggot Hase part of the gang, is he?

The last bit of Momo examining the worm corpse felt like a lot of dead air

>>280674623
Terrible taste, Momo's high jinks are always fun to witness.

How strong is Momo's psychokinesis? I sometimes forget she can straight up lift a firetruck and her powers got even more stronger during the alien invasion arc.

>>280673906
>>280674076

>>280674728
>How strong is Momo's psychokinesis?
As strong as the plot requires it to be.

>>280674728
Creepy Cookie looks too much like that girl from The Grudge.

Oh god, Okarun is so handsome.

>>280675098

>>280675206

>>280675235
This whole scene was so damn good. There may be a few low points here and there with the adaptation, but damn if this wasn't one of the high points so far.

>>280675201
Girls...

>>280675235
Evil Eye is... weak?

>>280675235

>>280675481
Evil Eye is easily the strongest of the spirits so far. He's just dumb as shit because he's still mentally a child. Okarun only temporarily won because he caught Evil Eye off guard. He's also the best running gag of the series. His fighting autism is great.

>>280675899
Reiko Kashima could easily defeat him though.

>>280674577
Does that turd burger really deserve it?

>>280675969
Alright, I admit that I forgot about best girl. That's my bad. Evil Eye is easily the SECOND strongest, then.

>>280675481
MENTALLY NERFED

>>280676058
At best, he would be added to the C-Team with Kouki and Rin.

>>280676360
Not mentally nerfed, he’s “haven’t reached his full potential yet” aka “he will never reach his full potential because it would make the MCs useless” nerfed

>>280676430
fuckin idiot, evil eye is already at his peak performance in evi eye saga. jiji is almost at that "moment" when he gets the full power of evil eye

good episode

I don't like the pauses in the counting, I feel like it should have been non-stop, just like a long muda muda muda scene

>>280676650
>this Evil Eye here
I like how it implies that Turbo Granny has experienced multiple EEs in her time.

>>280676817
WHEW

Who's the artist/designer for the ED? The artstyle is so cute

What's the cutest Cutemomo that Momo ever cute?

I don't like this arc, I don't like seeing Jiji suffering...

Why did /a/ hate S2's OP?

>>280676798
TG has implied that there is multiple Evil Eyes, I wouldn’t be surprised if a female that’s possessed with a Evil Eye shows up in the future to help Jiji have control over his EE and be his love interest

>>280677080
S1 OP was so fucking good, S2 OP just doesn't really compare.

EVIL EYE

>>280677100
All of your post sounds like such an interesting and cool idea that would both payoff the idea of Jiji controlling EE as well as needing a girlfriend who isn't Momo and it would be so easy for Tatsu to write it into the manga.

And that's how you can tell Tatsu for whatever reason won't actually do any of it. Because he never seems to pay off cool ideas, just really obvious ones.

why did they censor the blood though?

>>280675481
It's still a baby Evil Eye

Jiji needs a boyfriend

>>280677383
he is tsundere for Zuma

>>280677080
I love it.
ED is great as well, some super cute momos

Ok but why Okarun MUST always look like a scrawny nerd and Jiji always like a big jock?

>>280677690
Probably because Tatsu is a fan of protagonists like Okarun but realized cynically that he needed to balance out the fanservice for women/fujoshi. So we get a silly himbo with a modicum of character development.

Do lightning strikes really appear during eruptions?

>>280677862
Bro seeing giant ass worms and Momo's hymen still intact but bro is worried about some lightnings.

>>280677425
Zuma is not gay…

>>280677690
because they are those things

>>280677690
Their frames are different. Jiji is a bigger dude and Okarun hasn't been working out that long.

>>280677383
Jiji is literally the straightest guy in the show

>Firefighters pump 2-3 hoses of water onto a burning house
>worm is 500+ feet underground in a giant lair much larger than the surface house
>somehow they moisturize the soil so much that the ancient demon kaiju commits suicide like a garden worm

this episode triggered my autism

Yes, it's a rare but real phenomenon.

Oh. That, too.

So where is the apparently accurate information on Mongolian Death Worm weaknesses coming from? There are people handling the spirits, are there people handling the UMAs too?

>>280677862
All that churning ash is a perfect place for static charges to build up and zap outwards

I like how Turbokarun's teeth scarf sometimes looks like a train's cowcatcher.

>>280674577
I just know that he will at least be there at the obligatory end of the arc feast.

Momo makes such cute noises I can't take it.

>>280678854
I always thought it looked like Smile Dog.

>>280675481
Okarun just got lucky he got the wall bounce combo.

Aira a best

>>280678224
I assumed at first that the cop was asking if she started the fire by accident. Maybe she was intending to continue with "I was cooking and the stove got out of control," but he immediately jumped to her having a grudge against the Enjojis and she couldn't keep a straight face.
>>280678468
Normal ones are only 1.5-2m long. Maybe they're a recurring nuisance in Mongolia and the local shaman quietly checks for worms any time there's a weird suicide.
The worm being weak to water is also a Dune reference.

>>280671479
>they reinforce each other's chuuni delusions until all contact with reality is lost
>nobody else understands anything they say or do but they're 100% convinced they're saving the world together

>>280673790
Aira is just Momo with a pink wig and yokai form

>>280679531
If that was true Momo and Okarun would be fucking engaged by now. Aira has many screws loose, but she's never been anything but clear and direct with her feelings. Momo's fear of vulnerability is the entire reason the will-they-won't-they bullshit is still dragging on.

>>280679672
> If that was true Momo and Okarun would be fucking engaged by now.
They basically are. Momo tells Okarun don’t cheat on her, Momo already considers her and Okarun to be official. They just haven’t made it public information to the gang.

>>280672430
SEX

>>280678236
>>280678812
I see...

>>280677690
Okarun started working out for like what? 3 days? Dude was a nerd who never lifted before.

>>280672323
BUT WHY WAS SHE WEARING SUCH A SHORT SKIRT

Last weeks thread was more hyped. What went wrong?

>>280677238
The manga has lots of blood and nudity too. Wonder what else was not in the anime?

>>280680218
He simply got good.

>>280680596
A short manga chapter followed by a dedicated fight episode with not much progression.

>>280675481
no just stupid plot armor. he stands up next chapter like nothings happend

>>280677038
me neither but unironically. He's a ray of sunshine

>>280678196
how? He's pretty zesty and would be the type of to not mind trying. Kinta is the straightest since he hates most guys

>>280680749
>how?
He flirts with every girl he sees, never blushed at a guy unlike Okarun, he would fuck Seiko if she let him

>>280680614
By then it has been at least week, most likely a month, maybe more, and he is cheating with granny powers, as they allow him to both workout harder than normal people and see results faster.

Not to say he hasnt been putting effort, but its like playing an rpg with quadruple xp multiplier.

Every character in this show is insufferable aside from maybe Momo, but even she makes dumb hand gestures (I'm guessing the author and fans think that makes her "cuter")

>>280680910
>>280680749
>>280678196
in my dub (don't be jerks, I watch the sub first) Jiji sounds very gay and soft and his VA is a young gay guy, yet, it fits him perfectly, maybe more than Kaito

>>280675481
Don't listen to the copers he is a jobber, specially to Okarun.

>>280680915
To be fair Jiji is unnaturally ripped too, even if he is athletic.
It's just a case of overdeveloped anime teenager.

>>280680218
>>280680614
Context doesn't matter, is about how it looks.

>>280681027
>is unnaturally ripped too
That might come from the fact he is a spiritual prodigy, remember he is not just ripped, he is tall too, much taller than both his parents. So he might be slightly cheating too but at least he practices sports for years, making it big more fair.

Okarun is on that 6x multiplier for a month while Jiji was on a 1.5x since he "awoken" (possibly ruing teenage years)

>>280681074
Context always matters.

>>280680749
>Kinta is the straightest since he hates most guys
nah he literally calls Jiji handsome half of the time he talks to him

>>280680596
this is the 2nd thread. 1st reached bump limit.

>>280681190
Okarun is not ordinary and he knows he likes her and she knows it and likes him too.

>>280681207
Last week we had 4 threads, two on Thursday two on Friday

>>280681254
What him not ordinary?

>>280681254
>Okarun is not ordinary
Yes he's your average loser with a weird obsession who nobody cares about... UNTIL
Never been done before, Dandadan should get all the awards

>>280681358
Nerds and geeks are not ordinary.

>>280681386
>Dandadan should get all the awards

Yes, I agree.

>>280681386
>about... UNTIL
He goes and talks to her and asks her to be his friend, more than you will ever do in your pathetic life.

Okarun pisses me off so much. I FUCKING HATE HIM

>>280681580
>He goes and talks to her and asks her to be his friend,
And what happens after that? Lmao

>>280681720
They fall in love with each other

why do you think this series features guns so prominently despite japan being very draconian about gun laws

>>280681733
That's after he gains le magic powers
I think some people forget that the whole thing starts out because Momo breaks up with her bf and then defends loser okarun out of pity

>>280681785
It has more shock factor because of the gun laws. If they were a bunch of American hicks you would just assume they all had guns, but in Japan that's an "oh shit" moment where you realize you're in a horror movie.

>>280681785
>features guns so prominently
Where? I only recall pic related, the police officer with a revolver and Serpo with his ray gun.

>>280670605
In the butt!

Did desuarchive shut down for everyone else?
What's going on?

>>280681785
Japan doesn't care much about the depiction of guns on TV. For example there's this tokusatsu where the protagonist's main armament is having 3 guns on him and most of his upgrades are gun related, this is despite the anime releasing the same year Abe was shot.

>>280682016
yes, it isn't working for me too.

>>280681785
Cause the author loves movies and guns are in like 80% of movies.

>>280681972
>she's still a virgin

>>280677038
>>280680713
That's why we're here for: Okarun avenging Jiji as the first guy peer to ever cared and shone grace for him, the same reason he transformed to save Momo (that stronger from budding romance of her ofc).

Tatsu wrote potent platonic hopium here, I love it.

>>280677038
Jiji has literally been suffering the entire manga, can’t think of a legitimate happy moment he’s had so far

>>280682640
He was happy when he thought he had a chance with Momo.

>>280676817
Only giving birth to a black baby could result in milk production that high.

>>280683116

>>280683055
How much seethe would the author generate if Momo ends up with Jiji in the end?

>>280683200
I think the fanbase would unironically be more mad if Jiji ends up with Aira (he will)

>>280683200
The end game pairing has been long decided.

>>280673843
in the garbage where pinkshit belongs

>>280677862
Yes

Ultraman references in dandadan never gets old

>>280683116
Aira is built for it
https://files.catbox.moe/rw2wmv.jpg

Jiji is gay.

Zuma mogs Jiji so hard.

>>280683200
>>280683872
Momo and Jiji would make the strongest kids if a timeskip sequel were to happen, his spirit prodigy genes and Hercules height and physique mixed with her telekinesis powers and battle IQ would be OP. I would want to see it just for the eugenics. But it’s not gonna happen.

>>280684292
True

>>280670582 (OP)
Kek based edit

Another great episode. I'm curious to see what the deal is with the volcano. I like how this series never slows down, the episodes are packed with so much content.

>>280684292
Even his transformation mogs on EE.

>>280684869
nah that shit looks ugly and generic af and his powers are wack

>Momo asking Okarun to put sunscreen on her back
>Okarun asks why she doesn't just use her powers to do it
>Momo calls him an idiot and tells him to just do it

>>280686048
Surely you're not implying Okarun is the MC, right anon?

>>280686181
Two left feet.

>>280686707
Momo and Okarun are dual protagonists, but Momo does edge out Okarun as the main character. After all, she is the original inspiration, as stated by Tatsu.
>"I had always wanted to draw a boys’ manga with a girl as the main character but it kept failing in serialization meetings, so I thought it would be better to have a boy next to her. I thought that there has never been a boys’ manga with a girl as the main character, and I thought that just by having a girl as the main character, the conflicts would change in many ways and patterns."- Yukinobu Tatsu

>>280686757
It's two right feet, you big dumbdumb.

>>280686707
I notice we don't have as many wacky faces as the manga goes on. I kinda miss them.

>>280686995
The anime actually adds more goofy faces that weren't in the manga.

>>280687070
I wonder if they'll keep it up as it continues.

>>280687089
Why is Momo so touchy and physical all the time? Doesn't she respect Okarun's personal space?

The boys are back in town.

>>280687124
She is a cat, she sees him as hers to be affectionate with as she pleases.

>>280687168

I was surprised by how much they were able to fit into this episode, 24 minutes but the story progressed so much

>>280687210
>Mediumkarun and Largekarun
Naaah, too same to be interesting. Kinta has no "spice" that complements the present reconciliation dynamic Jijimomokarun has, even.

>cropping Okarun's tired eyeroll response
Nice try.

So what will her horrible backstory be? Same as Vamola but with added body horror?

>>280688954
We already saw. She was enslaved by the Kur after losing her husband.

Im gonna be honest here famiglia
The hype seems to have deflated immensely from s1 to s2, netflix isnt marketing it, crunchyroll pushed gachiakuta instead

>>280689052
It's top 10 in the world on netflix and #1 in Japanese netflix though.

>>280689081
It used to hit number 1 in the west too

>>280689052
>isnt marketing it
I've noticed many people mentioning that they had no idea the second season was out.

>>280688954
Kinta will fix her with NANOSKIN, son

>>280687124
Okarun secretly loves it.

i'm about to say something blasphemous
but i think the dub sounds better than the sub

>>280689761
The dub is fine but Wakayama as Momo is GOAT.

>>280688954
She will be Vamola’s biological mother

>>280688954
>>280688995
The contrast in her motivations to kill Okarun versus Hase’s is so funny. He’s such a bitch.

>>280690106
>most tragic motivation

>most petty motivation
God I hope Tatsu never stops dabbing on Hase.

>>280689761
it's one of the rare good dubs

>>280689761
Jiji is certainly much more tolerable in the dub, though I chalk that up to the differences in familiarity between western and Japanese over the top personality acting. I also like how Okarun kinda sounds like Morty in normal form. Momo's good too, but Japanese Momo is just excellent.

>>280690106
The petty one is, naturally, more determined to go the distance than the serious one.

>>280690225
It has 2 different LATAM dubs for some reason.

Seiko’s training finally paid off

>>280682598
the fact that most of this started because he was pissed at EE hurting Momo mainly, and not him tricking Jiji's good heart, threw me off a little but I love how this arc continues to develop their friendship so sweetly still too Momo centric tho

kinda sad they don't do much with it later tho

>>280691204
Tatsu obviously understands the woman psyche quite well.

Who will be the first main character to die?

>>280691370
Hase I hope.

>>280691370
none, they usually don't kill mains off until the very end, and DanDaDan is not that kind of anime either, like AOT. it can be sad and dark, but it doesn't take itself too seriously either

>>280691463
People die horribly in flashbacks but everything will stay fine and dandy in the current time line.

>>280691433
Is this AI?

>>280691717
nta but I don't think so. No nonsensical details, brush strokes are human-irregular, not AI-irregular.

Okarun is just too fucking cute...why did they remove the blushing here :(

The duality of takoyaki-eating Momo

>>280691190
Did someone say banana?

>>280691717
I would never post slop.

it triggers me so much seeing things like "Okarun vs Jiji" or people referring to EE as Jiji, they want this to be some sort of romantic rival battle so bad. That's not him, the anime stated this as well

>>280691692
I loved Vamola's flashback and I wish they didn't show us that Banga and the rest were still alive immediately after Space Globalists. It could've been an awesome reveal down the line.

>>280692043
agreed, that took a lot away from the emotional buildup they were going for.

Babies

DanDaDansu

Post OkaMomo comics, I will translate them

>>280692461
Look at them go!

>>280692461
This is a Momo centered ending, like the OP is a Okarun centered song, and it's so sweet that all the characters do the very pose Momo was ridiculed for when she was a kid, including Jiji, and ot become a fun dance and a signature for the gang. Okarun does it the most fiercely

>>280693131
It's nice and shows that Momo is the heart of the group.

>>280692461
GO KINTA GO GO

>>280692043
I’ve enjoyed the alien arcs the most.

>>280683924
Shut the fuck up idiot. I'll brand your reddit username into your forehead if you speak out of line again.

>anime's appeal is admittedly dumb and hyperactive kids responding relatively logically to the weird world and rules presented to them with a relatively realistic level of intelligence
>aira is just retarded
She's the worst character.

>>280693315
Consider

>>280693315
Jiji is dumber than Aira, saying this as someone who loves his character. Aira can be very competent and talks sense to the group while others are more emotional or hot headed

Okarun and Momo

>>280693410
Jiji is smart but pretends to be dumb, Aira is dumb but pretends to be smart

>>280693131
The opening is very cute.

>>280693527
I like the part where his world is gray but Momo gives it color. Beautiful.

>>280693353
How? How did he win the Momo Bowl so hard?

>>280693585
Shion's laugh gives me life

>>280693707
Literally "me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic." But really his display of devotion to her and his gentlemanly nature in the first episode.

>>280693496
Jiji isn't exceptionally smart, "just" a prodigy spiritually wise, most of his decisions are emotion based which is sweet, but doesn't make him rational like Aira can be. Look what happened with EE, and TG told him many times as well. He doesn't think with his mind but his heart, thus leading him to be too impulsive.

>>280686181

>>280693707
He helped patch up the hole between Momo’s tumultuous relationship with her grandmother.

>>280693806

>>280687595
HAH?

>>280682016
>Did desuarchive shut down for everyone else?

Momo literally dies and gets eaten by the worm if Jiji doesn’t let EE possess him

Momo…Thank you…

>>280693686
It's great.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByRmiJwBNro

>>280694512
yes, that's the author paving up the story path, but it doesn't disprove my point at all since Jiji did what he did only out of the goodness of his stupid heart.

Vamola irl

>>280694512
EE was inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, Jiji just caused more trouble. Momo took out the worm all by herself at the end, also she was going to get eaten because she followed Jiji under

>>280670582 (OP)
Is there actually an overarching plot to this series are is it just
>meeting spirit
>someone gets possessed by the spirit
>the fight but join the gang shortly after

>>280694995
Yes
>Momo and Okarun love story
>Momo's powers and origin

>>280675481
One of Evil Eye's greatest strengths is his mobility. Walking into the house gave him nowhere to run. Literally "you're trapped in here with me"

>>280695019
grim, I'll probably drop it now then

>>280694915
>also she was going to get eaten because she followed Jiji under
That’s her fault, Jiji didn’t tell her to follow him

>>280695216
I'd advise you to keep going tho. It is very fun, and every arc got its own story. Recently we're getting something about the MV intentions maybe

>>280695265
oh yes, she should've let her once powerless friend who saved her before go alone in a ghostly world

>>280695319
Like I said, Jiji didn’t tell her to follow him

>>280695369
it's called "caring for your friends" anon

>>280695423
Momo didn’t even want to help Jiji when he showed up at her house. She’d rather him be homeless on the street if wasn’t for Seiko.

>>280695289
It's just so boring though. At least there should be some progression on revealing the mystery of the spirits and aliens or building up to some grand threat, but this is literally monster of the week type shit without a goal other than stopping okarun from being castrated

>>280695731
I wonder if Seiko knows Jiji is the reason why Momo stopped talking to her for years.

>>280695762
There is an arc with a grand threat though, and it's easily the best one. Currently they are in another saga with a grand threat that is more mysterious.

>>280695863
Seiko probably knows Jiji was the reason. And I don’t think it was years that they stopped talking, maybe a couple weeks.

Need momo sockjob

>>280696042
>there is "an" arc with a grand threat tho
Not what I meant tho retard

>>280687595

I like how the inside of the cursed house switched to red when Okarun went apeshit

>>280696314
Did you read the rest of the post, illiterate retard?

>>280670685
Your patience will be rewarded in a couple of episodes.

>>280697741
Soon!

>>280682640
Jiji exists to be cucked. He will never be happy, he will never get the girl, he will never be considered more than an annoying idiot, he will never win a fight, he will never get rid of the shitty evil ghost he got by trying to help.

Haters say that he was introduced to create a love triangle. Wrong. He was introduced to be cucked.

I love this manga. It’s heartwarming.

>>280698426
He would be a cuck if he and Momo were in a relationship and Okarun made them break up and stole her from him. But he never had Momo so he can’t be a cuck, the only thing he can be is a loser.

>>280698703
This post is correct.
>Captcha: NTRN0

>>280682640
>can’t think of a legitimate happy moment he’s had so far
Probably Okarun accepting him as one of his best froends.

Bros, why did season 2 have to come out this fricking year? Season 1 was obv goated and our favorite AotY of 2024.

But 2025? Simply too STACKED. Let's see all the other anime we gonna love:
>Kimetsu INFINITY CASTLE movie
Ending to the greatest manga of all time? Nuff said.
>SOUL MART
Literally *our* Dandadan, Dandadan of the West by the goats from RWBY.
>Bânan
Single episode, but already a cerified goatbanger made by our fav content creator. All SEAbros itt gonna pick that as they AotY over Dandadan.
>CSM Reze movie
Just kidding with this one lol

>exercises hes been doing during school breaks is adapted for combat
i stop reading after the iron bull let chapters build up, but i forgot about okarun using basic movements in combat that turn out to be effective. makes me giggle

>>280699216
seesh, thanks for all the recs, picked the fuark up

>>280694995
You forgot the sad backstory of the ghost that makes us cry

>>280699216
This, but without a hint of irony.

>>280690992
Maybe now with the anime boosting this arc back, Tatsu will want to cook up a reexamining of their dynamic further if he could quickly wrap up the current curse arc anyway

>>280699216
This but unironically

Anons were saying Okarun was weak and Momo was the real MVP yet he defeated the enemy (Evil Eye) that easily beat Momo.
Did you lie to me /a/?

>>280699439
>Did you lie to me /a/?
Yes. Okarun saves Momo literally every Arc, she’s a glorified damsel in distress.

>>280699083
I don't think Jiji minded that much, he's friendly with everyone and used to it, Okarun is objectively a lot more invested in their friendship, despite him being a worthy rival in his eyes. It was his first male friend and he did a lot for him

>>280698426
>Jiji exists to be cucked
Incel going mask off mode and revealing why he loves his leftycel anime (Redo of Healer for leftists).

>>280699216
you sound adorable, might check some of those

>>280699715
since when being incel is leftist?

>>280699666
no no no no! momo is a strong independent womyn who don't need no man
she is definitely no MPDG sex doll for our power fantasies/wish fulfillment!
our thought leader, anime expert Vaush told us this is the FLCL of shonen and the best romance in anime

>>280699782
this, our thought leader told us all incels are rightwinger chuds and all pedophiles are conservatives/all conservatives are demonic pedophiles

I see shitposter-chan woke up

So true. Don't try to engage them, we must censor their posts instead.

>>280692840

>>280699389
I think it's unlikely, the anime is banking on OkaMomo a lot more, 8 episodes of this season at least are about Jiji and the OP didn't bother to give him some special place. People want OkaMomo and don't care that much about the OkaJiji dynamic so Tatsu will keep focus on that

Do Jiji and Okarun have any meaningful interactions after the Cursed House Arc?

>>280700029
yes

>>280700029
no and thats a good thing, imagine the outrage if Okarun brought his cuck's underwear to him or something, or if Okarun walked in on his cuck sleeping with his bae

>>280699977
Hehe.

>>280700029
they do, some are "rocky" but others are very sweet and heartwarming to watch. Okarun cares a lot about him. After that there is something else, and then not as much if anything, which is a shame since they share great chemistry but the author prefered to focus on new char and on OkaMomo of course

>>280700029
Yes. I really wish the anime was much further ahead of where it is now.

>>280700157
he wanted to play just with you silly Okarun

>>280700029
homies you could say but jiji is just a great all around guy

>>280699666
Momo solved Turbo Granny, the first Serpo incident, the Flatwoods Monster, and Nessie in just season 1. Momo's role is often to figure out how to get Okarun into position so that his attack will actually work because most of the time it won't before then.

>>280699715

>>280700500
Boy that magazine cover really sparked a whole art meme huh? I like it.

When will Momo say the K-word?

core cast names all tell you what's the character's story and how they got powers, besides Okarun's who's a metaphor and a gag
>Momo
Momotaro, comes from another place/planet because she's no ordinary human and she is the MC of this story. Of course, just like Momotaro, she's adopted and her powers are of non human origin
>Aira
Love. Love of a mother, love of a young girl, untrquited love. Love, a one sided one, is what Aira's story is about, and the love of a mother is what gave her new life, a new perspective on love, and her powers
>Jin
Compassionate. Most of Jiji's pivotal moments are all about his soft heart and empathy, in good and bad, as his powerful alter ego is a curse he took because of his compassion, and I wonder if that will play a part once he gets rejected

>>280685035
nah I wouldn't say so, forced animation uses way too many zoom-ins and smears to the point where you can't follow what the fuck is going on because the animators don't know how to make a good choreographed fight scene, that webm on the other hand is very well done

>>280700571
It's nice.

Shitposting aside I do think that season 2 has been coldly received in the west, and its not even going that hard in japan either.
Which is very odd, season 2 so far has been better than season 1

>>280700572
When normal Okarun says the M-word.

>>280701249
>season 2 so far has been better than season 1
It really hasn't
Although it already started going downhill when they introduced jiji

i just see momo as that little sister that tries her best but actually comes through when things get serious. give her sharper eyes though and i turn feral

When Evil Eye got knocked out temporarily, did Jiji snap back in a sort of double negative paralysis in the mean time (aware of Ken hauling his possessed body up and so on but cannot do anything) or was he still in limbo?

SoL episode/chapter of Momo hanging out at Okarun’s house when?

Speaking of seasons: I heard about how Seasons 1 & 2 were originally planned as just one 24-episode season but it got split up midway because of some production leak, is this true?

>>280702892
Not as popular as in the US but still pretty strong with 10M subscribers. Either way, it should be pretty representative of tastes with that sample size.

>>280703234
I would believe Momo is a heavy but chaotic sleeper

It's funny how the Okacels seethe & cope endlessly just because Jiji exists and project all their insecurities onto him because they self insert as the cuck MC.

>>280703245
She looked calm in Jiji lap

>>280703483

>>280703245
She probably doesn’t snore unlike Vamola.

>>280703572
No but she does moan as she's dreaming about Okarun.

>>280703398
lol what? Last thread jijicels were delusionally insisting jiji just wants to hit and quit momo I don't see anyone projecting insecurities onto him except his fanboys.

>>280703709
I think it's the same guy who spammed this shit in the last thread. I think he's just desperate for conversation

Airanal

>>280702790
>It's #1 on Japanese netflix

It's weird because I follow so many Japanese twitters (idols/pornstars/mangakas/food reviewers/random sports fans) and I don't think I've seen a single one talk about Dandadan. It's very possible that who I follow somehow misses Dandadan's demographics entirely, but I see these same people getting excited for other popular stuff like Demon Slayer and Sakamoto Days and MHA. Very strange

>>280703815
Air anal? How do you even do that?

>>280703837
That is strange. But I dunno, the numbers seem to be numbering. The manga's also doing great.

>>280703709
>jiji just wants to hit and quit momo

>>280703514
He's so cool.

>>280699883
Oh, is that a reference to this?

>>280703927
Is it possible to get any sort of market/demographic research along with these numbers? I know that things like One Piece have a broad national appeal in Japan, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that Dandadan is being fueled by a significantly younger audience. When I look at the subreddit for Dandadan I swear the average age can't be older than 17

>>280703927
Chainsaw Man suffering from Fujimoto's self-destructive impulses

oof

KintaCHADS, where are you at?

>>280703927
Chainsaw Man just never appealed to me.

>>280703986
You’re the one in denial. You can’t show one moment where Jiji tries to make Momo his girlfriend. All you can post is non serious flirting that he does with every girl.

>>280704164
The cope is insane here dude. This is why we laugh at Jijicels.

>>280704115
>>280704053
Chainsaw Man is a barely above average shonen. So that makes it about a thousand times better than a My Cuckademia tier slop shonen like DDD. The irony is that outside your hugbox generals, all of you losers pathetically claim "Dandadan was obviously inspired by CSM! It is the next CSM!" even though it has literally nothing in common with CSM. Complete creativity devoid slop.

>>280704164
When Jiji kept calling Momo his precious person, most every opinion I saw on that moment was people saying that it's a weird translation of a Japanese phrasing that is indicative of romantic feelings for the person it's directed towards. Which is why Momo doesn't know how to respond both times he does it.

>>280704199
nice concession

>>280704219
you sound so angry at shonens bro, why do you read them? why are you on /a/?

>>280704199
>Jijicels
Even within a fandom exclusively made out of leftists, the leftists cannot meme so the leftiest leftists (most emasculated incels itt/Cuckarun self inserters) have to use my memes against less leftist leftists (anti-Cuckarun DDDcels).

>>280693410
Jiji is average pretending to be dumb, Aira is average pretending to be smart.

>>280704267
>angry at shonens
Outside of r/DDD generals, posters like these would be accused of being falseflaggers who are trying to make the fans look bad. But here? This is normal.
>do you read them?
The only *battle shonen* I read are the good ones (Togashi's, Iraqi's & FMA).
>why are you on /a/?
When your balls drop (tho not sure if that even happens seeing how you're on estrogen pills) you might find out that "shonens" aren't the only "mangas".

(mic dropped epically)

>>280704254
Anon, be serious for a second. Why would Jiji get flustered at Zuma calling him a clingy boyfriend if he just wanted Momo to be a slampiece? Use your critical thinking skills.

>>280704279
this reads like a schizophrenic struggling with coprolalia

>>280704115
>>280704016
>>280704053
I loved Chainsawman, specially since it was on shonen jump and it was pushing some boundaries, it was hype to see how fujimoto would many more shonen jump tropes he would break week by week.
But then he went to jump plus and his story started to have no direction whatsoever (admittedly, it got better lately on that front) and some asinine character writing and I got real burned out of it. Now I can't even care about the reze movie

>my memes
Oh so he's also a delusional narcissist. Makes sense.

>>280704016
Fujimoto's art has been getting steadily worse for the past ~2 years and he's lost what little ability he had to write coherent stories and character arcs. Random bullshit happens for no reason and has no lasting impact on any of the characters. At least Asa is still cute.

>>280704398
Jiji was mad at Zuma because “clingy boyfriend” is an insult to Jiji. He doesn’t want to be her boyfriend, he wants to be friends with benefits, if Jiji wanted to her boyfriend he wouldn’t have gotten angry at Zuma. Jiji is called a “playboy” for reason, he just wants to fuck as many chicks as possible.

>>280704515
>Jiji is called a “playboy” for reason, he just wants to fuck as many chicks as possible.

Can you imagine if Tatsu just randomly dropped this lore nuke on the audience? Wonder how the fanbase would react

Kinta has a better chance at getting Momo than Jiji.

>>280704559
>the so-called "nice guy" is actually an asshole who uses women
god I wish, we need more jiji hate

>>280704515
>Jiji was mad at Zuma because “clingy boyfriend” is an insult to Jiji
Yeah anon, he turned bright red and sweaty with a look of shock on his face because the insult didn't hit at all close to home. He is definitely so fragile that a random insult that doesn't apply to him one bit messes him up like that. And he's certainly responded to all insults with this level of embarrassment before. Definitely.

>>280704559
Tatsu already did but subtly. When Jiji ask Momo does she have a crush on someone he knows that her crush is Okarun, he then teases Momo for it and immediately flirts with npc schoolgirls in the next panel. Jiji isn’t looking for a serious relationship. If he really loved Momo why did he ignore her for nearly a decade until his family moved into the cursed house?

>>280704831
> When Jiji ask Momo does she have a crush on someone he knows that her crush is Okarun, he then teases Momo for it and immediately flirts with npc schoolgirls in the next panel
Yeah it's called deflection. Jiji straight up says he can't talk to Momo if he's serious. He uses his silly persona so he doesn't have to deal with the real stuff.
>If he really loved Momo why did he ignore her for nearly a decade until his family moved into the cursed house?
Because they didn't live near each other anymore? Did you forget that detail? Also because he knows he fumbled her by making fun of her and Seiko.

>>280704863
>Jiji straight up says he can't talk to Momo if he's serious.
Jiji can’t talk to anybody seriously, he acts silly with everyone to mask his trauma. That’s not exclusive behavior he has with Momo.
>Also because he knows he fumbled her by making fun of her and Seiko.
No he doesn’t. Jiji doesn’t know that Momo used to have a crush on her.

>>280702790
Erm but the 4chan threads aren't quite fast enough therefore it's actually a flop

>>280704997
>Jiji can’t talk to anybody seriously, he acts silly with everyone to mask his trauma. That’s
Then why the fuck does he say "If I don't joke around I can't talk to YOU in any decent way"? Why the sad face, blush, and shojo bubbles if he just wants to hit and quit? You're in deep denial or you're utterly illiterate; pick your poison.

>>280704997
>No he doesn’t. Jiji doesn’t know that Momo used to have a crush on her.
He still knows he fumbled her by alienating her. Whether or not he knows about her former crush is irrelevant.

Why does Jiji stir up so much shit in these threads but nobody talks about Zuma?

>>280705264
What about him exactly?

>>280705087
>Then why the fuck does he say "If I don't joke around I can't talk to YOU in any decent way"?
Because he struggles to show a mature mindset and take things seriously in general, he uses “comedy” as his mask to hide his personal conflicts.
>Why the sad face
Because his statement is based on self-loathing, not romance.
>blush, and shojo bubbles
Because for the first time he’s being honest, anytime a character has an honest moment they have blush and bubbles. Blush and bubbles doesn’t automatically have romantic implications in this series.

>>280705441
>Because he struggles to show a mature mindset and take things seriously in general, he uses “comedy” as his mask to hide his personal conflicts.
But it's not a general comment, he says it's specifically about Mom.
>Because his statement is based on self-loathing, not romance.
He has NEVER displayed self-loathing, this is just entirely invented.
>Because for the first time he’s being honest
Yeah, about how he can't bring himself to be serious around MOMO SPECIFICALLY.

Just look at this: >>280704822 This is insane cope from you anon. Sorry Jiji isn't the chad pussy slayer you want him to be. He's just the guy who loves the main girl but doesn't get picked by her. That's all.

>>280705087
>Jiji straight up admitting he can’t be a decent and sincere guy to Momo

>>280705441
This is insane bait from you and I don't understand why you're still doing this. It's been nearly two hours of you carrying on this charade.

>>280705521
Yeah for someone like Momo who clearly values straightforwardness and honesty it's one hell of a misfit. Mega-dweeb Okarun has the emotional intelligence to realize he needs to get over his anxiety, man up and confess his feelings. Meanwhile Jiji can't stop pussyfooting around giving mixed signals.

>>280670605
Where? The mouth, tits, puss or ass?

Our Hero.

>>280705749
Jiji knows the best spot

>>280705657
Jiji is gay or a pussy ass bitch

>>280705782
He’s so goddamn cool…

>>280689761
I like it, too. Kari Wahlgren as Seiko is great.

>>280705513
>But it's not a general comment
It is. He’s goofy with everyone, not just Momo.

K-KAKOII....

Jiji and Momo are mirrors of each other. They both cant be straight forward about their true feelings and have similar spiritual powers.
Okarun and Aira are mirrors of each other. They both are straight forward about their true feelings and have similar yokai forms design wise.

Why is he FAT?

more like attention seeking cuckquean

>>280706114
Mhm, yep. Dub.

I can't wait for the Netflix adaptation.

Can someone explain to me how they rationalize the alien cutie's antennas?
Do they know she's an alien? Do they even care? Do they think she wears it because it's cute?

>>280705513
> Sorry Jiji isn't the chad pussy slayer you want him to be
But he is, at least with the npc girls. And I’m sure Jiji could easily fuck Miko and Muko if he tried.

DanDaDAMN, we did it again!

I don't think people consider much about OPs entirely unless they're stylistically exceptional (both in audio and vision)? Like patterned gift wrappers, not a lot universal enough to keep for very long.

I mean, the public reactions I've seen for the new OP really focused on just the visuals (Aina isn't my cup of tea either - I agree with >>280180247 more on something like Chelmico).

>>280707603
DamnDaDamn!

See you bros on Monday

>>280707642
See you then!

>He has NEVER displayed self-loathing
This is wrong. He constantly has moments of self loathing, when he first does his beam attack in battle he tells himself repeatedly “I can do this. I can do this” and even recently in against the Typhoon he has doubts himself and Seiko has to reinforce confidence in him that he’s a prodigy and she believes in him.
