@@carmenelainee Similarly, the way Momo dressed and arranged her uniform, the socks called "loose socks," and the song Okarun sang in the tunnel, etc., were all popular at that time in Japan.
The english dub isn't bad for this anime, people are praising it a lot, but I just can't get over how good Momo's JP VA is, I'm impressed every episode, may as well be the best performance I've ever heard.
She's the MVP of the show for me. She's incredibly expressive (and often absurdly funny) with the delivery of almost every single one of her lines. The way she can nail both being fierce and strong-willed AND at the same time being a bit childish and kind-hearted when she wants to is amazing, really. Not to mention her comedic timing is impeccable too.
@@c0hink176 okarun voice's actor is more focused just like he is okarun, especially the way he told the reason why he want to see alien. That's why Jp dub is better than Engdub
The makeup was a type of Gyaru style a few decades back. Ken Takakura is a well known actor from a lot of older Japanese films, and considered by many to be the epitome of masculinity in his time. The equivalent to someone having a huge crush on John Wayne or Clint Eastwood from their movies when they were young. Her reacting to Okarun saying those lines and then giving his name were if a boy unwittingly quoted two lines from your favorite actor from your favorite movie of that actor, a movie that most other people have never watched, and then finding out he was given the same name as that actor at his birth. The other episodes are more 'safe.' But you will likely enjoy them.
If I remember correctly, the manga shows what the actor looks like along with that "awkward fellow" quote when Momo was talking to her friends. So, it was clear when Okarun says the same thing and revealed his name. Not sure why the anime decided to skip that visual.
@@TucoBenedicto Actually, Muko's makeup, specifically the white stripe down the nose, is representative of a ganguro-derivative subvariant of Gal culture called "manba"
You are right about the Tanjiro voice actor. There are ton of talented voice actors in this show, from a variety of known shows, such as Turbo Granny being the same VA as Luffy from OP. Won't spoil them all, could be fun to see if you recognize them throughout the show 🤓🤓🤓🤓.
The first episode is really wild, and I don't think ANYONE who has seen it was comfortable with the abduction scene - which is why you're so hooked on seeing how she gets out of it. The rest of the show is a fantastic blend of comedy, action, mystery, and all of that is just dressing for the real star of the show; the romance.
In the manga when he catches up to her in the hall and says, "I know you're in love," it's actually "I know what you're into." He's basically saying "You must be into the occult too and saw my magazine, that's the only reason you'd talk to me."
@@JohnBogna the line is exactly the same both in the (original) manga and in the Japanese audio. This is only an issue of the sub translation being occasionally a bit iffy. For the record the “DUBS” have their fair share of iffy translations as well. For instance a lot of Momo’s lines come off a bit more harsh/judgmental and less humorous than they should be , both in tone and wording (I.e. a surprised “You gave up really fast there” vs an angry “come on, you barely even tried”).
This is the anime of the year, 0 doubts you are gonna love it ! I thought you would react to the intro & outro music as well, absolute bangers btw. Music in this show is 10/10 . Hope you´ll enjoy it :)
This. FLCL has more heart, the characters and story go deeper, but at the same time it's much weirder and out there. If she hasn't watched FLCL yet, 100% should be next. Swing the bat!
@@sanderwillems8603 Don't forget the The Pillows OST! As revered as it is and only clocking in at 6 episodes ( I don't recognize the other seasons) they're very few reactions to it.
Her and her two friends are Gyarus who are anti mainstream. The girl with the makeup is a Ganguro which is a person going against the established make up norms aka dark skin instead of light, lots of make up instead of minimal look. Ken Takakura is an actor from Japan in the 50's who played a lot of badass Yakuza characters. It would be like a teen girl having a crush on Clint Eastwood and finding out her new friend is named Clint Eastwood.
Not sure if you already know this or not, but Ken Takakura is a Famous Japanese actor irl, he’s kind of like japans Clint Eastwood I guess you could say!
Ken Takakura was a famous japanese actor in the 80s. Our main character is called Ken Takakura by coincidence (or maybe his parents were fans?), but it would be like you meeting a guy called Clint Eastwood or Bruce Willis
i think the appeal of Dandadan is that is everthing and all match perfectly: is crazy? yes, is wholesome? also yes, it has romance and battles better than most shonen? hell yes, it will make you cry sometimes and laught most of the times? absolutly yes. no matter how you look it this anime is fun in every aspect.
I discovered that turbo Granny protect the soul of woman that were... killed and you now, that's why she passed through the phone to save the girl and if that's not wholesome enough, she's "weird" with what she says because she's ready to satisfy a man so that they leave the girls alone 😢
the makeup on the girl in the begining i believe is a ganguro? i havent seen girls wear makeup like that in JP since the early 2000s. it was a fad back then similar to how the US had "scene girls"
I came home from work early due to kidney stones and just started watching this series for no other reason then it was what Netflix suggested and all I wanted was a distraction from the pain and next thing I knew I had watched all the episodes and in dub (it's extremely rare for me to watch dub) and I gotta be honest the dub actually wasn't that bad surprisingly. Also it was so good it did a great job to distract me from the pain
I was hooked immediately. The animation is beautiful and the music is fantastic. I started reading the manga and it gets cute as hell outta nowhere so definitely keep at it, highly recommend
idk if someone pointed it out lmaoooo takakura's VA = tanjiro's VA momo's VA = maria renard's jpn VA (castlevania) turbo granny's VA = luffy's VA that one alien serpo's VA = zoro's VA
this series has a great way of showing how characters help each other in fights without being "carried or burden" which a lot of other animes has a big problem of that making other characters look like burdens or useless in their teams "sakura". but dan da dan makes every character cool and can carry their own weights in fights
Ok I don’t usually comment on here I know u since the JJK reaction or earlier but ur about to witness peak not trying to write a lot but here for the support episode 4 was fire everything about this anime radiates aura the opening, visuals, animation, and to the voice actor. Can’t wait for u to watch what’s in store for u this anime is insane now but s2 and the rest I will tell u is on crack wrap up Carmen ur not ready!
Dude… the boy literally got violated why is it more shocking that the girl ALMOST got violated but the boy ACTUALLY being violated is like an “okay granny” lets be real here cmon man lol
I find it best to treat this like Chainsaw Man and not ask too many questions. This is a batshit insane series but a great one, and you have amazing reactions to it
The only other anime I've seen with a first episode this crazy is FLCL, but Dandadan's first episode actually makes sense on first watch, FLCL's is less comprehensible the first time around (and not as lewd)
As weird as this show is, this is probably the best Shōnen series I’ve read and watched in a while. The Animation and VAs absolutely elevates the experience
Spanish dub is hilarious, we have 4 versions, 2 for latin spanish and 2 for spain spanish, one version for Netflix and 1 version for crunchyroll, both are hilarious cause they adapted the japanese slang dialogues to lots of spanish swearing
I've seen both the Crunchyroll and Netflix latin spanish dub and I gotta admit it was funny watching the Crunchyroll version. In that one, I immediately recognize Okarun's spanish VA.
"Why is this so lewd?" "Why is she in her under ware?" this are the questions that people that have never watch anime or Japanese... well, anything before, tend to ask. Even OG Dragon Ball has risqué spicy humor, and the cast is majority under age.
yalls ability to hear just a second of their voice and know who else they have voiced amazes me
skill issue from u tbh
you'll eventually recognize people
It’s easy for me in dub since I watch that more but sub sometimes takes me a while to recognize.
Tanjiro's VA is easier to recognize
I only recognized Tanjiro's hehe the rest I don't know or don't recognize them. I'm bad at it, I guess that VA has a distinguished voice.

English dub is seriously good, I agree Momo's VA is a bit better in JP but Okarun's English VA is insanely good
Both are great

The subtitles are wrong several times in this series. I suspect that they are using AI translations instead of actually using a human translator
@@bernieburton6520 nope. If you listen to the japanese, the subs are correct, just the script itself is the issue!

A really cool tidbit in this episode is that they show you a honey moon in the scenes with Occult-kun while the moon is white with Ayase.
You shouldn't stop keep watching it's really good anime
Goblin Slayer also has one crazy ass beginning
I only just started the show and caught up w/ it today and felt the same way after ep 1 lol. Now after 4 eps this show is so peak it's crazy 😂
“GGs” is crazyyyyy 😂😂😂
Knowing voice actor of Luffy voiced turbo granny, I can’t unhear it no more 😭😭💀
"Looks cute. Looks wholesome." 20 minutes later, "WTF did I just watch? I want to watch more." Also, the dub is amazing!
I feel like an idiot as I only just now realized that's Tanjuro's voice actor when you said it. Good ears!
Was not expecting you to drop "It's Harry Psycho!" Your not wrong!
This episode went pretty hard. Thanks for toughing this out.

Luffy “turbo granny” + Zoro “pervert alien” 😂😂
It's fun as hell. Keep it up !

Finallyyyy. Been waiting for thisss.
the dub in this one is AMAZING
That first ten seconds... I'm crying
For me i think the weirdest anime i have ever seen is (tengoku daimakyou)i could not even finish it,it was too strange
