    The jarring contrast between the cartoonish violence of the Acrobat Silky fight against the hyperrealist violence of the debt collector scene dropped my jaw. My god, I was there in that room with them for a split second...I'm flabbergasted by the amount of detail that was put into this sequence, what an incredibly tender and heartbreaking episode from the lol-granny-took-my-bawlz anime 😭

      Same here. That scene was so real and I was not prepared for it. You described it perfectly, I felt like I was there too. I was seriously concerned for the little girl for a second, asking where are they taking her (Eventhough we actually know it). How quiet it was all of the sudden after the door was closed... That shook me.
      Heck, I hate spoilers but after this episode I really needed to know if Momo and Ken would probably meet that girl later on during the series.
      Than I started bawling my eyes out again, after learning how the Manga ended in that chapter...

      It evokes strong feelings of protection and helplessness from the viewer. Animes that rile up your feelings like this one, are the ones that become legends.

    Adding a first person view to the final moments of the kidnapping was an inspired choice.
    You've spent this time learning about this loving family, but suddenly you ARE the mother, YOUR kid has been kidnapped and YOU are fighting through the pain and anguish, desperately clinging to hope as your world falls apart.

    this is a minor detail but i LOVE that they drew the kid with baby fat on her body and face and the imperfect but confident movements only a young child could have. SO many anime often have children who dont act like, and more importantly dont LOOK like young children, so having her movement and face be so realistic really makes you believe "this child is REAL i could believe they were alive and happy and loved so much", and then the episode tears your heart out with it

      Thank you for mentioning it! I literally gasped when i saw the child's design on the anime. My surprise may be just an overreaction, but given how many children are 'moe-ified' in anime these days, seeing a kid realistically designed like her is such a fresh breath of air

    I wanna give a huge shoutout to Yuhki Kurihara, who arranged Kensuke Ushio’s backstory song for the orchestra and really did a lot to make it sound so tragic and powerful at the same time. Ushio was the mastermind behind the soundtrack, but Kurihara helped bring it to life in one of the defining moments of Dandadan and she deserves her flowers for it

    This episode show just how much more emotion motion and music (and great animation) can add to the story, even knowing what was to come this episode had me crying just by seeing they being a happy family and know the devastation that was to come.
    Also I think this is the point that Dandadan show that it can be more then just silly ghost and aliens after Ken's dick and balls, it probably what get people to trust the story there forward.

    Haven’t seen it animated but have to say that moments like this is what makes me love the manga. You rarely see a monster or alien kill someone, but the couple of times ( this and a few in future chapters) we see a person being killed is by another person. And every time it really takes its time grounding the reader in that reality. Going from funny haha and action packed to showing who te real monsters are takes a lot of skill.

      Holy fuck, just watched the episode. I was bawling my eyes out, like I had to take multiple breaks during it. As i said on my previous comment I did read this in the manga, and it did hit hard there. Buy the animation, music, composing, and me forgetting much of what happened (I had completely forgotten the part where Aria hugs Silky) it broke me. I had to go out and take a walk.
      (Have to add that it was pretty jarring seeing all that and then seeing turbogranny cat plush dancing)

    This wasn't even the only creative part made by the studio alone. The one where Ayase finds out Okarun's actual name is also more creative than the one from the book. They made sure her voice was more awkward and when she finds out his name is Ken Takakura the explosion of UFO, I mean, UAP in the background is synced perfectly.

    The Artists working on that show give it their all. I can't wait to see, what they do with the other Backstories.
    The final jump could have been handled a bit more direct though. They added a "thud" sound to explain what happened, but the panel in the Manga, that showed her backwards dive was more understandable in terms of progression.
    Regardless, it is so cool to see them actually use the medium to enhance the adaption.
    It reminds me a lot of early MHA, before Studio Bones decided to just use the Manga as their Storyboard.

For the individual animation cuts, ultimately the information usually comes from either the studio's or the animators' twitter accounts, but people do a pretty good job of aggregating it on sakugabooru dot com!
