I like the idea that those guys didn't see the transformation since they likely aren't sensitive to spirit stuff. Instead, only saw some small, otaku kid overpowering them.
If I'm not mistaken its common in a lot of cultures to believe that children and the elderly can see spirits because they are close to birth and death respectively.
Granny being in the maneki-neko(lucky cat doll) has some significance. The cat dolls are good luck omens for wealth in modern day, but they weren't that way originally. They were specifically for luck with safety. In the Edo period of Japan, the 1600s, a ruler was hiding from rain under a tree when a cat beckoned him into a nearby temple. When he followed the cat, lightning struck right where he had been hiding from the rain. Believing the cat saved his life, he treated it as a divine spirit, thus the lucky beckoning cat legend and it's statues were born. So the maneki-neko dolls good fortune was originally said to be safety. With Granny consoling the young girls, protecting Momo on the spaceship, and her powers having helped Okarun, it feels intentional she's a good luck charm for safety. Also ironic given how bad she wants to kill them.
Or at least she says that she wants to kill them. But we see a little more under the mask when the kids are all swallowed up. (Aside from Aira’s two friends who are just unconscious - I assume).
@@oakleyturner9544 I agree that it seems like she's starting to care about them a little, but that could also be chalked up to her knowing Seiko won't return her powers if something happens to them.
I think the spirits can see normal people, but people don't see them so they ignore them normally. But if you have spirit powers and can see spirits they notice you. That's how I interpreted the "if she can see them, they can see her."
that's my interpretation too. They can see people, but it's like seeing a tree in a forest. It's basically background to you, and it's indistinguishable from every other tree. But if that person is spiritually awakened, that's like if they had a Quest Marker floating above their head. Suddenly every spirit is paying attention.
4:47 There's a reason why you remember her voice The pink-haired girl is the voice actress for Tsubaki, a childhood friend and sports girl who lives next door to the protagonist of ``Your Lie in April''
The voice actor for the timid and insecure protagonist "Okarun" is the same as the protagonist in "Your Lie in April", and the third woman who witnesses the romance between Okarun and the main heroine is also the same voice actress who played the third woman in "Your Lie in April" Even after 10 years, they are still acting together as similar characters
Ayaneru might be the most instantly recognizable VA working right now. Yotsuba from Quints, Uraraka from BNHA, Gabi from AoT, and like a dozen other major roles every season. Plus she voices like a dozen of my favorite gacha characters. That woman must have ZERO free time.
Yep.. you're now my favourite Anime reactor😂. I love the energy you come with when you react to Anime. It never feels like you're doing it for our sakes but more like you're enjoying the journey WITH us and I appreciate that. Thanks for the content Alana💯💯.
Both of them is at fault with that, Momo granny said if you disrespect the dead they will bother you. Okarun goes to the tunnel disrespecting the dead so yea
And now she saved them (as long as they don’t know it). She’s earning her redemption. But TG is such a fun character, especially her interactions with Seiko. I heard that there is a little short manga depicting their daily interactions, but I haven’t found it yet. (Haven’t had the time to really look though).
Here's a thought: Very young children are pure of heart. Most times, their very first words are either a variation of "Mama" and/or "Papa." Also, the innocence of children and animals could sorta see spirits but lose that ability when innocence is lost.
btw For Turbo Granny's background inspiration, as a visitor to Japan and studying the folklore, she isn't actually a Yokai but a "Medium" who people called a Shaman on that mountain. Anyone whose soul was messed with in that mountain and eventually turned into a tunnel extended her life because she mourns and channels the dead's wishes and emotions. It's why she is a location bound "spirit" as opposed to "yokai".
Okarun＝Kousei Aira＝Tsubaki The voice actors who played the childhood friends in "Your Lie in April" co-star. I am looking forward to watching your UA-cam video from Japan.
a clarification of what turbo granny say: Spirits and Yokai can see human but the usually ignore them at leas they enter their territory or a place they frequent. what TG mean by "star seeing them" is that if your spiritual power is awaken you will be encounter by more and more supernatural things
It's funny, I'm rewatching Your Lie In April (one of my favourites) because it's the 10th anniversary - Okarun and Aira's voice actors are BOTH main characters in it - Okarun's is Kosei and Aira's is Tsubaki.
@anagramhound Acrobatic Sara Sara is an urban legend from the early 2000s. Silkies are British folklore from the 1700-1800s. The Japanese urban legend is probably just based off of the British folklore since characteristics are similar. So, while the Acrobatic Silky in Dandadan is based off of the Japanese urban legend, that does have any affect on what I posted. It's not exactly uncommon for folklore from country to influence folklore in another.
@@2006Whippet could be, it's probably a mix between Hachisaku-sama and British's Silky. Dandadan's yokais tend to have additional traits from multiple other yokais too.
Aira seems to have a "chuunibyou" delusion! She calls herself the "chosen one" like she's a magical girl or saint figure, sort of like Sailor Moon (calling herself pretty/"bishoujo" may be a reference?), but it's not real lol.
When I first heard her voice, I also felt like I'd heard it somewhere. Then I looked up and the VA Ayane Sakura (Iroha's VA in oregairu). I also think there are resemblances both Aira and Iroha 😆
This feels like when PG movies would be considered rated mature movies now. If that makes sense. Can you check out the scene when Ken defended Momo in dub? such a different experience.
If Okarun in Turbo form reacted to this (because he gets depressed from channelling hauntings) he would say "what a drag, I long range t bagged another babe before i got to you hun I'm sorry" to Momo.
8:30 I think the reason it only works when it goes both ways, is cause once your spiritual powers are awakened. So is your spiritual energy. Spirits, Yokai or stuff like that may be able to see that spiritual energy radiating from you, and not so much just you. That's probably what makes people with awakened spiritual powers stick out from the rest and grab the attention of Spirits.
its a quite common belief that kids (age around 3-6 i think) to have some sort of sixth sense in Asia. That belief happens because some kids usually says or point to random things
Disclaimer: I don't speak Japanese and haven't read the manga - but I don't think that Turbo Granny meant that regular humans are literally invisible to spirits (although that would, of course, be possible for some of them in such a whacky show). I think what she meant by humans with spiritual powers being "seen" by spirits is that spirits are especially aware of such humans and potentially drawn to them.
i will say it seems like the subs missed something kinda important here which is strange since they actually explained it well in the dub. could just be because of localization or summ but an explanation for this because i was confused and had to research it myself: since turbo granny is possessing a maneki-neko or in english a lucky cat doll it seems like her powers have changed(?) to that of a lucky cat. shes now able to bring good fortune to people and coincidence becomes inevitability in their favor. so since granny just so happened to-- or i guess i should say inevitably came to school with Okarun, the crucifix that Aira's friends brought just so happened to be, or inevitably was, a lighter. silky just so happened to, or again inevitably, swallowed her own hair. then Momo or Aira coincidentally, again again actually inevitably, lit the hair on fire.
When kid Aira met her, red glance appearance means that she is already a yokai. This far, if people met yokai, it always in red universe. But if it's alien, universe turn into blue with Serpo, and grey with Sumo Alien.
Great reaction as always! Hey a movie based on the one-shot from the same author of Chainsaw Man, has released on Prime Video. It’s a really beautiful story, you should totally watch it! The movie is called “Look back” and it has only 58 minutes, but everything about it is gorgeous 🫶🏻
ive been loving turbo granny LMAOOO the silliness
Thats remind me of KON from Bleach..
Better…Kon is delusional silly but Baba is petty sass but actually useful.
TG hides it, but I think she likes the kids. Luffy’s voice coming out of Turbo Granny still cracks me up!
She’s my bias
Turbo granny hitting that pose after burning acro-silky up is the coldest thing ever
"You should let me inside your body" sounds wild ☠
Also Aira caressing his ball is funny as hell.
Slamming it against Momo's face as well 😂😂😂
we’re watching an anime about ghosts who steal dudes’ wieners and aliens who steal girls’ “bananas(?)” what could be more wild than that?
そして女性は、キンタマを堂々と話せる時代が来ました。
A common Japanese slang term for balls is kintama. “Kin” meaning gold, and “tama” meaning ball. So the balls being gold is another layer to the gag.
true but its kintama
@@andiiiiiiiiii Yeah, I don’t know why my brain was hearing it as a “d” and thinking it was rendaku. Correcting the earlier comment
GINtama “Silver Balls”
金玉
I only know this from that one arc in gintama where gintoki got replaced by kintoki and the show became kintama
I like the idea that those guys didn't see the transformation since they likely aren't sensitive to spirit stuff. Instead, only saw some small, otaku kid overpowering them.
If I'm not mistaken its common in a lot of cultures to believe that children and the elderly can see spirits because they are close to birth and death respectively.
Aira: "I've been chosen because I'm just too beautiful"
Boa Hancock energy right there🐍❤️

This show always ends faster than it should
😢I wish the episodes were 30 mins long, just like ReZero episodes used to be.

Youll probably also be able to say that when the season ends, only 12 epiosodes, i hope it continues in spring or summer...
@@Rubydrag33 rumors this has 2 cours so yea
Turno granny was way too cool when she closed that lighter
Aira got the power of god, anime, and Okarun's ball on her side.
Nice one lmao 🤣
And prettiness!
Deus vult!
2:27 the timing with the jump
2:27 not Alana's cat appearing at just the right moment with the anime sound effect 😅😼
Cat pre-watched
Those balls are really driving innuendos. First Aira fondled it. Then it was pressed onto Momo's cheek.

No way so we got falco and Gabi in this anime
@@leowankenobi6582 we also got Gabi yelling "akuma" xD
@@leowankenobi6582 they reunited in another universe😢
“Why are you running?” 😂
I love how Okarun can’t look Momo in the eyes unless they’re arguing. So adorable!
日本から観てます！
いつも楽しく同時視聴してます！
ダンダダンこれからも楽しみですね！
4:49 The VA voiced Iroha from Oregairu. Maybe thats why you found the voice familiar 😅

looks like we got a lil taste of what we’ve been seeing in the end credits with turbo granny this episode. that pose was so cute 😭

Just 6 episodes in and I'm reminded why Turbo Granny is my favorite character. Respect your elders yall.
Dont worry, i laughed about the ball too😂 specially when she was feeling it under the desk and putting it on Ayase's face lol

if all goes well next episode okarun is going to be walking around with one ball for the rest of the season 😂
Great manga overall! I just had to read up over a weekend after I watched the first episode. We are in store for some really peak fiction!
Okarun＝Kousei
Aira＝Tsubaki
The voice actors who played the childhood friends in "Your Lie in April" co-star.
I am looking forward to watching your UA-cam video from Japan.
Aira shirotori VA (Ayane Sakura) also voice Gabi Braun in AOT
11:34 : Heard Turbo Luffy said ...."One Piece" , really good cameo. Now the "Neko Luck" help well the group.

Turbo Granny is the Kon of this show😂
4:55 Yup. That's the feeling
It's so cute how okarun defend is NEW friend and dosn't even tink perv things about Momo 😉
I mean it’s not really perverted to think someone’s cute but I get the sentiment.
i’m loving the designs of these evil spirits, they’re so cool
Aira's VA also played Tsubaki in Your lie in April. That's why she sounds so familiar.
Aira got the okurun jewel family!!!omg🤣🤣🤣🤣
So, a Silky is a sprite from British folklore. A Silky tends to make itself visible in the semblance of a female dressed in silk
No, Acro Silky is based on Acrobatic Sera Sera
Actually, Acro-Silky is based from a Japanese creepypasta called Acrobatic Sara Sara.

Okarun's ball on Momo's cheek, love it.
Aira is voiced by the same VA as Iroha from Oregairu thats why you recognise her voice
Your cat seems to have a nack for poping in on tense moments
DanDaDan wow

Aira my queen, the anime community may hate you, but I will defend you with my life 🧎
Realz
I can’t wait until next episode when we… 🤐
It is going to be a fun ride for a good while. Aira the “leader” of the gang…
This anime is just funny and cool😂.. also this 6:36 is so subtle but we notice it😅
Just imagine explaining this show to a non anime watcher like "they need to get Okarun's balls back because granny dropped it somewhere"😂😂

Based off of how far was shown in the trailers and the amount of material in the manga, I think it’s gonna be a ~24 episode season.
