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 Charles Solomon FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's like watching somebody juggle a bunch of oddly shaped objects and somehow keeping them all in the air. Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Polly Conway Common Sense Media But the best part of this anime is the growing friendship between Momo and Okarun; they look past each other's beliefs to find connection in a charming, funny way.

michael m Great writing, original with some nostalgia and and a refreshing animation. Great mix of action and comedy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Onii C Dandadan breathes fresh air into the shonen genre by masterfully blending supernatural horror, sci-fi, and romance. This genre-bending series shines with its fluid animation, pitch-perfect comedic timing, and stellar voice performances. The dynamic between its ghost-believing and alien-obsessed leads creates a uniquely entertaining adventure that's both hilarious and captivating. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Fã qualquer de N Literally the best anime out there. Every part of the characters, the development, it's all so well structured and perfect! Besides that they did a good job on the art, I didn't think they would be able to replicate the DanDaDan Manga so well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review LABEL 2 关键单集的表现足够亮眼，对角色奔跑的细致刻画在诸多场合中都足够贴切。不过本作整体推进过程比较平淡，漫画的精细巧妙褪去后改编影像还是难以提供足以与之媲美的视觉刺激。 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Audience Member An interesting romance anime that doesn't serve every cliche and has an original premise for once. The Animation & Art style also work really well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Nick T This is very good anime. Episode 7 is by far the best episode with both the story telling and animation style. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
