You know it’s kind of interesting how many times I have been used as a glorified pillow for people. Idc about letting people do that but I am seriously questioning how comfortable that is. Like I know I’m a big girl but can that seriously be that nice 2 lay on a whole dude like that. Do think it’d be funny if anyone laid on my lap again they’d get like shadowed over cause of my tits. They literally have their own ominous presence unironically makes me giggle. Dramatic lighting

Dandadan Episode 11 Review - Jiji Goes Hehe

In a previous review, I did mention that Momo is the Shounen MC, but female, Okarun is the heroine, but male, and Aira is the rival, but female. The new character Jin Enjoji, or Jiji, joins in the reverse shounen story gender tropes as the fourth angle of the growing love square. Usually in shounen stories, there would be several girls who develop a crush on the MC, ranging from various types. For example, if Momo was male, Okarun would be the shy girl in love with the male MC and Jiji would be the girl that’s the total opposite of the shrinking violet. That’s essentially how Jiji is introduced throughout the episode—the total opposite of Okarun and a possible love interest for her. Don’t worry, though. Momo only has eyes for our male heroine.

Speaking of Jiji, he’s certainly…an interesting character. From a general standpoint, he’d be a divisive character, but for me, I find him hilarious. He’s entertaining, but doesn’t seem to go too overboard. He sort of reminds me of Kei from Oblivion Battery but less obnoxious. While he likes to clown around, Jiji does know when to shut up and not make a joke of everything like how he explained his situation to Momo about how the house he moved into was cursed and caused his parents to be hospitalized and how going to five different spirit mediums caused three of them to end their lives. He’s staying at the Ayase’s because Seiko is a spirit medium and is someone he’s acquainted with. The only downside is that Seiko’s not the one going to exorcise the cursed spirit; that’s Momo’s job. Haha, typical shounen MC mentor laziness.

Jiji probably means well, but he definitely is a source of emotional conflict for Okarun in this episode. Throughout the episode, he starts feeling jealous of Jiji as he’s everything he’s not and the fact that Momo used to have a crush on him back in elementary school. He was worried about whether Momo would want to spend more time with Jiji and not with Okarun because of his good looks and entertaining personality, but also failed to see that Momo doesn’t really care about a guy’s looks and that she was already over him a long time ago. The incident with Taro helps Okarun realize that he’s in love with Momo. I really did like the parallels of how Taro fell for Hana and related it to him. The day Momo stepped in to help Okarun from being bullied was when his gray world became full of color. It feels poetic in a way.

Regarding the animation, I can see why Science Saru was THE studio for Dandadan. The reason is because I don’t think other animation studios can animate Jiji’s movements as fluidly as they can. Jiji is a very bombastic character—he moves around A LOT and is also expressive. You need a studio capable of handling all that movement without missing a beat and is able to handle his expressions too without stock footages. I also loved the moment where they were running after Taro. It was really nice to look at.

Did I mention Dandadan has good voice actors? Because it does! Jiji is voiced by Kaito Ishikawa and he does an AMAZING job with him. Like, I know Ishikawa has a history of voicing comedic characters, but Jiji is practically an amalgamation of all of his comedic voice acting and taking it up a step further because of that experience. Not only that, this is the second time I���ve watched an anime where Kaito Ishikawa and Natsuki Hanae have interactions! The first was where both played the leads of my favorite anime of all-time, The Case Study of Vanitas and the second is Demon Slayer’s third season where Ishikawa voiced one of Hantengu’s clones (the green one) that attacked Tanjiro. In addition, in English, Jiji is voiced by Aleks Le! He’s clearly a rising star in the voice acting world as he’s been getting good roles in both games and in anime! If you’re not familiar with him, he’s the ENG VA of Sung Jinwoo from Solo Leveling! Though, his first major role was the comedic Zenitsu from Demon Slayer, so it does feel as if he’s going back to his roots of being comic relief. I quite like Aleks a lot, so I am a bit biased in my opinion of his acting. Also, Taro is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita and Hana is voiced by Fumi Hirano. They’re both veterans and the casting still amazes me.

Other than that, there are some small details in this episode I liked like Seiko giving Jiji more food every time he compliments her, Muko standing up for Okamomo and Okarun organizing his shoes and placing them in the corner before chasing after Momo and Jiji. These sort of small details really give life to the story and to the characters!

But yeah, that’s it for this review. The Dandadan fandom has been a war zone ever since the beginning of December due to all this art and racial drama that does feel a little too overblown. I won’t get into much about it as YouTubers talk about it more concisely than I can ever possibly do. Since then, it has been a mess, but I did my best to not get too involved in the drama and just ignore it as much as I could. Speaking of which, this is the penultimate episode! It’s crazy how Dandadan is finished next week! It feels like a waste because I want more! I hope that they announce a second season! What are your thoughts on this episode?

[vampirewhohuntsvampires]

Hmm, i was like talking about some tv show tropes regarding fat people and romance and kind of unironically connecting some dots into my complex feelings of like romance and self-esteem and how I think being fat has effected it. So I'm just like preaching to the void, and the choir here. read at uour own risk oooo ahhhh

I think in regards to romance, racism, and fat phobia have like affected me so deeply. I mean, yeah I'm autistic, and I struggle with social cues in general, but I genuinely think growing up as a societal 'undesirable' has like definitely altered the way I view and think about myself. I mean, there were just certain truths I had to come to peace with when I was younger, that a handful of people won't want you because you're black. An even bigger group of people won't want you because you're fat. You're the girl everyone tells you they kill during fuck marry kill (Like that's a normal thing to say.) You get rejected by the people you like because you're nice, but you're not all that pretty. Or pranks people pull, when they tell you someone likes you but it's not true. And they both know it's not true.

And that's fine, I guess. Honestly, I have no hard feelings in the present day about what we did in middle/high school. On the bright side, I think I'm like ridiculously good at taking rejections in stride. On the downside, I think it definitely left me struggling to understand or even piece together when someone is interested in me. I think deep down, there's still that very strong belief that I'm like not something to be desired.

“You aren't someone that people would want, so you really shouldn't be surprised when people don't want you.” It was, and kind of has still been some sort of fucked up survival mantra I've held onto. I honestly used to just sit there and take it, when people told me I wasn't someone that people could fall in love with. Or feel attracted too or whatever. I just thought they were right, and it meant I'd have to settle for someone who could at least tolerate me. And I think I convinced myself to think that way just so I could make sense of and make peace with the way people talked about me.

And like it's different now, I very much have people who love me and people who are in love with me (hahha hiii if uore here). But I genuinely think it's rotted my perception of others, not beyond repair but it definitely requires some TLC. Like even though I'm not in the situation anymore, (well vaguely). I don't think I notice that many signs of people being into me because I genuinely struggle to fathom the situation in which I'm something to be wanted.

( i think theres like other ways, you can be unwanted. I have certainly experienced it RIP!!!!!! but this is not about that !!! ) Like, I don't know I can think I'm hot but I also have a lot of bad days when I want to cover up because I'm embarrassed of the space I take up. Or when the devil starts talking in my ear about how I'd look better if I lost weight, how I could wear stuff I've been too scared to wear, how id have an easier time transitioning (if at all), how people could like me more.

And, sure I do what I can. I contest those thoughts. But honestly, it's hard. I don't know what else I can do. I know self-love starts with you but jesus does the hate from others make that thang hard. It doesn't help that talking to people about this, who aren't fat about it is like genuinely the most humiliating experience ever. It's so embarrassing to tell people that I still experience issues with my body because I feel like this is one of those things I shouldn't handle for myself. clutches head. Honestly if anyone read this far and uou know any tips... on unlearning this sort of stuff. i would love to hear it.

I know that again, it starts with me and I shouldn't seek out this sort of affirmation from other people. But dear lawrd. I dont have a real ending to this it was just me trailing off in thought. but i might continue it if i gain a braincell

Dandadan Episode 10 Review - Lending A Helping Hand

I normally watch Dandadan subbed, but this is the first time I watched an episode dubbed. The reason why I watched it dubbed was because I was too lazy to change the audio. Regardless, the dub is actually good. Like, dubs can be hit or miss, but Dandadan’s dub is one of the rare good ones where no one underperforms. I totally recommend it as a sub watcher.

Anyways, it’s back to the daily lives of our three dweebs, but they get sent to the nurse’s office because she’s concerned about the incident that had transpired last episode (about them getting naked). She thinks they’re being bullied and while it’s not the case, the girls are mostly worried about how they’ll be perceived at school. While Momo particularly doesn’t care, she still is embarrassed about what happened while Aira is concerned about her popularity. The scenes of them in the school clinic was hilarious though with the school nurse, Queen-sensei, being a dominatrix and Okarun explaining to Momo and Aira about why they’re being targeted by aliens. I think he raises a good point and I believe such is the reason why the aliens were after Okarun. I think the part where Momo’s friends were deducing why they were naked and concluded that it was due to naked gladiator play was hilarious. The expression on Okarun and Momo’s faces are priceless.

Though, it was nice that Aira decided to admit her part in the rumors she made about Momo, even if it did cost her popularity. Like, girl, if they just abandoned you like that then they weren’t real friends. While her bond with Momo does get a tad closer, they still have a vitriolic relationship full of bickering. I love that smug face Aira makes. Seriously, I think she’s the funniest character in this show.

Mantis Shrimp turns out to be a good alien person as he was only on the enemy’s side because he needed money to pay for his son’s treatment. His son Chiquitita has a rare, unusual disease in his world and treatment is very expensive. I’m glad that the group gave him a second chance. Okarun was willing to give away his balls if it meant it could pay for the bills. It turns out that the blood transfusion his son needs is equivalent to cow’s milk. The whole cow abduction scene was cool and all, but how will the cow survive in a foreign planet? How can it breed?

Also, the post-battle meals are interesting. Why do I feel as if they’re picked based on the major enemy they battle against? Episode 4 had the group eat crab legs due to the location-based spirit being a crab. In Episode 8, the group was chowing down on somen. If you’re not sure what somen is, it’s a type of noodle that’s very thin; it’s made by stretching the dough out and slicing it into thin pieces—sort of like how Acrobatic Silky’s hair stretches out. For this episode, the group eat sushi. In the last episode, the group dealt with aliens and Nessie in an underwater battle, so the seafood setting fits. Also, shrimp is a common topping on sushi, so it fits in a way—if Mantis Shrimp eats a shrimp, would that be cannibalism? Also, Seiko is justified in kicking Mantis Shrimp for eating the tuna because tuna is expensive! The cut of tuna used in sushi and sashimi are super expensive! I get why she would get mad.

This entire episode was comedy central, but with the introduction of Jiji, Momo’s first crush, things could start getting a little rocky. Heck, a new character means a new arc will begin. What’s Jiji’s deal and why is he staying at the Ayase household? I can’t wait to find out next week. What are your thoughts on this episode?
