The whole story is pointless.
It follows the monster of the week formula.

It's about two kids who are unknowingly starting an alien/occult club at their highschool.

Mob Psycho if it were drawn by a narcissist who holds the exact polar opposite views from the writer of Mob Psycho.

Dandadan is a power fantasy first and foremost, a nerd using superpowers to dominate others and humiliate his bullies, demand respect, and assert himself as king in a way, which Mob's message is explicitly against

Also the author should do a Zuma spinoff

This is a textbook example of the types of TV shows that were around in the 2000's and early 2010's. It's not pointless, you just outgrew stories like this. You probably would've been happy with it if it came out 10 years ago, but unfortunately you aren't your younger self anymore.

It's okay but the good parts get buried under the bad. Author wastes time on stupid love triangles, intentionally ugly characters and references to American black hiphop culture. Annoying.

I would like the cat more if it was a cute young cat instead of the turbo granny in a new body. I noticed all the retarded zoomers forgave her for "SA" on Okarun but they still whine about the aliens "graping" Momo.

Monster/Villain of the Week is just a type of storytelling method. It has nothing to do with "growing up" or whatnot. What's with the obsession with "looking grown up" in these parts?

Braindead battle shonen are just not as appealing for adults the same way it is for teens and younger. The main thing Dandadan has going for it is its art, the plot and characters are juvenile and it doesn't try to be any deeper.

I meant "outgrew" in a personal sense. OP clearly just can't enjoy these sorts of stories anymore which isn't a problem with the story but himself.

If enjoying simplistic shows puts a dent in one's self esteem as an adult, it's a them problem. Adults secure in themselves can enjoy both "deep" and "shallow" shows without any regard for what others think.
