Hello, my fellow anime lovers. I strongly believe that I am now in my anime era. So please, if you come across any interesting anime that you think everyone should watch, please, do well to tag me. As usual, I came across a scene from an anime I had heard so much about; Dandadan. “I’ll let you suckle my teats, so let me gobble that weenie-” coming from a scrawny looking granny. The first thing I heard when I heard that famous line was “What the actual heck.” I was skeptical whether I would find it interesting or not, but I added it to my to watch list anyway. I have a lot of anime on my to-watch list. I just pick whichever comes to my head and proceed to download. The last anime I watched was Devil May Cry. I made a review about it, you can check it out here. After Devil May Cry, I started watching Dandadan almost immediately. I'm not even done watching it, but I just couldn't wait to tell you guys about it.

I have gotten to season one episode 9, and it is going well so far. In my opinion, Dandadan is not one of the best anime I have seen. At the same time, it is not mid. I don’t know how to describe this anime, but I guess the perfect word to describe it is “NICE.” Yes, Dandadan is nice. The story revolves around two high schoolers, Momo Ayase and Ken Takakura. Momo Ayase grew up with a spiritual grandmother, so she believes in ghosts. On the other hand, Ken Takakura believes in Aliens, not ghosts. According to him, aliens are real and ghosts are just stories told by elderly people to scare kids. Ken and Momo both get into a heated argument over which is real. To find answers and settle the argument, they decide to test their beliefs. Ken Takakura goes to a haunted spot while Momo Ayase goes to the UFO center.

Interestingly, Ken is chased by a ghost (TURBO GRANNY) who possesses him and steals his weenie (this part had me rolling.) Momo is also almost kidnapped by aliens. In the midst of struggling with the aliens, Momo discovers that she has psychic powers. Before Ken met Momo, he didn’t have friends. Picture the kind of student that is obsessed with knowing about aliens. Who would want to be friends with an alien-freak, right? However, to recover Ken’s weenie and break Granny Turbo’s curse, they both start working together.

One thing I absolutely love about this anime is that it is loaded with many comedic scenes. Dandadan perfectly blends action and comedy. I love the fact that Momo Ayase’s grandmother is young, beautiful, funny and more importantly, she is crazy. There was a part where Ken and Momo finally defeated Turbo Granny and retrieved Ken’s weenie, only for him to find out that his balls were missing the next day. Like, how do you not know that your balls are missing for a whole day?😂😂 That part got me rolling. I am not done with the anime yet, but I’m looking forward to the romance that will happen between Ken and Momo.

Have you watched Dandadan? What is your take on it?

Thanks for reading.
