I cannot believe I have to say this, but also shoutout to Dan Da Dan for not sexualizing CPR...

It was really refreshing to see Okarun not argue or make any weird comments about it when Momo suggests it. Mouth-to-mouth respiration is an emergency procedure to save somebody's life, why does it only get equated to kissing in pop culture?

I actually find Silky's appearance change in the anime genius.

It starts with her being lost, unable to remember anything; her appearance being the same as when she died.

Then after Aira, she remembers that she had/has a child and a switch is flipped. We see her hair grow longer, her face change and her outfit become the same as the one she gifted her daughter.

In the manga, her outfit when she met Aira as a child was the same as it is as Acrobatic Silky. But showing her appearance change from a lost ghost to the evil spirit she'd become was more effective (at least to me). We see a literal change in her after meeting Aira; she was no longer lost, she set her sights on a single purpose (or regained her original one of saving/protecting "her child"). It makes sense since in life, her daughter was a her world, her whole reason for being. In death, it continues to be true.

I just really like how they did that.

Bro we just had the SMOOTHEST transformation sequence yet. When I tell you my mouth dropped -!!! Goddamn, animators. Much kudos!!

The silly stupid alien show about ghosts that steal your cock and balls just pulled the most gut wrenching, poignant shit possible and portrayed it so artistically and meaningfully what is even life.

This was MASTERFULLY done. The visual and environmental storytelling, the subtle foreshadowing, and inject those motifs into my fucking BLOOD.

Ho. Ly shit. Good fucking lord.

"A show about some kids trying to get a boy's balls back shouldn't be making me cry!"

I think Dandadan is a very good example of how having comedy helps enhance the drama and vice-versa. Too much comedy gets annoying, too much drama gets tiring. If you know how to balance both, however, you can get your audience to lower their guard towards each aspect enough to slip in and hit when it counts, without the comedy cheapening the drama or giving people whiplash with sudden heavy topics.

I’m not fucking joking, Dandadan episode 7 is the first anime to make me have a genuine emotional breakdown, I can’t stop fucking crying, no work of fiction has ever made me genuinely feel so sick to my stomach with sadness and anger, I feel like I’m going to throw up, I love this fucking anime and it’s going to kill me if it keeps being like this

Currently can't shake the idea in my head of Momo going up to Seiko and asking if she knew anything about Acro-Silky (she didn't, much to Momo's disappointment), then spending an all-nighter scouring the web trying to find who she was as a human so she can try to find where her physical body might be so she can pay her respects.

"Watch dandadan it's peak" HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WATCH SHIT WHEN I CAN BARELY SEE THROUGH MY TEARS

Everytime I convince myself I'm over it I think back to that little girl... I don't even want to think about what could've happened to her gang I can't

*dandadan shows me the most depressing episode of a mother trying her best to give her daughter a better life*

I'm not fucking okay

[dcs-teaspoon]
