Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse “Dan Da Dan” is a one of the best series of the year, one that will appeal particularly to fans of anime with the many references found throughout, but also ones that can be enjoyed by anyone due to the excellent combination of action, comedy and drama. Rated: 8 Jan 5, 2025 Full Review Sarah Musnicky Creepy Kingdom DAN DA DAN is a wild time from the jump. It may scare away less seasoned anime viewers with its zany energy, but honestly? That's a huge part of the fun. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 3, 2025 Full Review Annie Banks The Mary Sue By overhauling the concept of the traditional romance anime, Dandadan has successfully transformed a time-worn trope into an atypical genre-defying feat that’s still got a bit of sweetness to it. Dec 4, 2024 Full Review Julian Lytle RIOTUS Here, Fūga Yamashiro, the director, and his team not only keep the look, but they feel like they reach into your head and take out how you imagine the characters and scenes move when you’re reading it and splat it on the screen. Rated: B Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru A fast-paced, refreshingly zany and exhilarating, but also exhausting blend of sci-fi, mystery and comedy. Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Isaiah Colbert io9.com As close to a slam dunk as a new anime premiere can get. Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Alyse H Favorite anime of all time. Hey anime industry, Momo is how you do a female lead in an anime! She’s probably my favorite anime character of all time. She is brilliant and badass and I’m so obsessed with her and Okarun! Two genuinely brilliant badass spazzs who care about each other and continue to take turns saving each other, beating the baddie, and growing as the series progresses! So refreshing in story, characters and plot! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Chase R. Faithful to the insanely fast manga, somehow. Production quality doesn’t slow down at all through the whole season. You can tell this is being made by people who love the source material. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review Alexander L If I could give this 100 stars I would. This anime is so fresh, beautifully animated, and great blend of stellar story telling, compelling characters, and hilarious antics. I'm obsessed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review V01d N This anime made me cry,hype, and glad I watched I even bought the manga due to how good this is but the one problem I had with this was I had to watch it in my room so my family members would not yell at me for watching this type of stuff. P.S. okarun has a glow up to be honest and very funny and cultural references like Ultraman, shin Godzilla, fresh prince of Bel Air and classic alien tropes. I just made my account so don't blame me for being late. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review bluedragonking 7 Absolutely loved this season. I have no complaints at all. It's a must watch!!! I did cry on episode 7 though. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Nashville I. Entertaining, but the amount of sidequests distract from what the story's supposed to be. Honestly, the whole season can get really hazy bouncing between ghosts, aliens, family drama, and the main couple. The voice cast is great and the two main characters seem to have good chemistry but it seems like there are 8 forks in the road every episode while we're supposed to be pushing ahead on the main path. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
