Oh my gosh! This really is the end of S1, what an amazing insane journey this was. Dandadan is easily one of my favorite shows I’ve reacted and watched in awhile, and talk about a crazy cliffhanger! I can’t wait to learn more about Jiji and his backstory, and see his true potential. Behind his goofiness you can see there’s something truly hidden! Taro and Hana will forever have my heart, and Okarun is just the bestest boy ever. Ahhhhh! I truly can’t believe this is it, I can NOT wait for S2, it can’t get here quick enough. Thank you to everyone that stuck around for my journey, I appreciate you all and hope to see you for S2 in July! 💛
@@bernieburton6520 so true but that leaves questions for anime only and not manga readers since they know what happens and personally I think it’s good to keep people questioning and they’re releasing the 12 episodes on July which imo is bettering than waiting 2 or more years for 24 whole episodes
Enjoy the manga. From reading 0 manga ever, to catching up to all 170+ chapters in just a few days, I think it is the best reading experience (novels and comics) I've had in a long time. There are books I enjoy but Yukinobu Tatsu's occult/paranormal investigation, teenage/mannequin love story, alien crab family drama, epic Avengers level battle (you'll see) manga, and Tolkien's fricken Rings are books I love. Have fun
I tought that it will end when they entered at home while they was observed from "them" but there was more and DAMN!! For that "badass" climax part must to wait july! :E
@@cristianotsurudaprocopio8757 I was talking with someone else on this, and given 11 it was pretty hard to keep a hard cliffhanger without going all the way to Momo returning to the house If you want a cliffhanger anyway And I think resolving Momo's situation also adds some complexities as we need to remember the what's happening there for the things after But my guess before hand was that it would end with Momo finding Okarun and Jiji beaten on the floor
3:41 The songs sung by Okarun and Jiji are the famous anime "Slam Dunk" OP and ED スラムダンク - あなただけ見つめてる スラムダンク - 君が好きだと叫びたい They are really deep memories for us 30-40 year old JP anime fans
@logarius2178 No spoilers: season 2 should encompass about 3 - 3.5 arcs, culminating in the arrival of the "Avengers level threat" to which season 3 should become a 1.5 - 1.75 (eff it, make it 2 hrs) movie that rivals Endgame and surpass it in the emotional stakes department. This is meant to entice not spoil. Sh*t hits the fan, folks - we all know this.
Thanks for reacting to Dandadan Ali! I agree that this anime delivered well beyond my original expectations of it. It has a bit of everything to it and is definitely my anime of the year. Looking forward to watching season 2 and your reacts to it!
I started loving Thursdays cuz I'd catch DanDaDan in a break between class then catch your recap after school... looking forward to the next season Ali
Same I was a bit baffled where they ended it. I wondered if they'd make it a double length episode and, without explicitly spoiling it, end at the ending of chapter 35 😅 that woulda been SICK. And more devious but in a good way
Nice giant Kintama. Is it Taro’s? The townspeople remind of the Serpo aliens with big smiley faces and heads. All the aliens are creepy while all the yokai’s are scary.
i really wish we could have gotten an end of season movie to wrap up jiji's arc. like what happened with chainsaw man. doesnt seem like we will, but at least we only have half a year til season 2 now.
It's weird that they're advertising the next batch of episodes as Season 2 when it feels more like a Cour 2 or a Season 1 Part 2. Also FYI Ali, Okarun is pronounced "Oka-roon"
Jokes aside, Tatsu keeps attacking bad men by showing them doing awful things (the aliens are dressed as salarymen) And showing us how terrifying life can be for women
@@j_official4138 it kinda is. Did you know women who fight back against gr0pers on trains are arrested? Or that girls are banned from wearing ponytails and have mandated types of underwear they have to wear? And the best place for women to gain money and decent treatment is by working in a hostess club? Japan is an extremely patriarchal society and is very sexist. This incident in the manga is also partially a comment on that cus the police are shown to be useless too.
I'm a little disappointed by how they managed the content of the episodes, I've been under the impression for some time that the series progresses very slowly compared to the manga, and that was a bit from the first episodes, I understand that it is the director's first series, and I don't think there was a bad job or that the anime was bad or anything, it could even have been due to a budget and occupational health issue, but perhaps with two more episodes at the pace they were going, this season could have had an appropriate ending considering what that they were going to adapt, and if it had to be 12 chapters by law, maybe they should have composed it with a little more scenes or speeded up the events by 0.15%, because that ending seems like chapter 11 that would be resolved in chapter 12
@@IIAbraham777 The end of chapter 34 would've been a better end to the season, but I personally don't have a problem with how this ended. probably because Im caught up with the manga.
@@AliAnimus I disagree. Knowing the content of what’s to come, any other cut off after this episode would’ve been worse. The cut off should’ve been before.
You are greatly underestimating the length of this arc. No matter where they ended it if they had 2 more episodes, it would’ve been bad. The best place they could’ve done it is BEFORE the serious events popped off. They ended it right as it began, which means the season would’ve benefited if they ended it with the train ride. Pacing is better at a slower pace during a set up portion. And it’s ironic you speak of pacing when you can’t “pace” your own comment appropriately. U said u were disappointed, but then you never said WHY or what they did wrong until after inventing reasons as to why the director did it rather than attributing it to a creative choice. I’m not gonna pretend I don’t wish that the anime stuck a bit closer to the paneling of the manga (and I can talk about why but I’m not going to delve into since this is about your opinion). And I also can think of a few better things they could’ve included by rearranging the order of events, but there really isn’t a lot of places they could’ve stopped.

Actually next patch of episodes in July are still in season 1 it’s like a part 1 and 2 thing
Ending on that cliffhanger was just pure evil

They left it at this to drive the manga sales up. I’m about go read , because this is cruel
As a manga reader, it is wild they decided to end the season on *that* cliffhanger.
Yeah I was hoping they’d find a better place to end, but this is just cruel to anime onlys. Perfect advertisement for the manga tho lol
I tought that it will end when they entered at home while they was observed from "them" but there was more and DAMN!!

ikr, for a while I throught season 1 will end with that one shot "kick the can battle", like SPY X FAMILY did.

Thanks for not making us google it. I thought it sounded familiar :D
The slam dunk ending 🤣🤣🤣
As a manga reader & I’m absolutely not spoiling
but that cliff hangar will be worth it because season 2 will make season 1 felt like an appetiser.
And if we are lucky and they make a season 3, things are going to get WILD.
@@felipedelbuedasilva239 yup, my favourite arcs would be in season 3.5-5 at the current pace
Maybe even later given that current chapters
@arbitraryify yup those are my favorite arcs as well, so I hope we can get an adaptation and that Science Saru keeps that quality.
@@felipedelbuedasilva239 I positively REFUSE to believe a season three is anything but guaranteed
the show must go on.

"It's just two anatomy mannequins in love, don't go too hard with it."
Science Saru:
Good decision on buying the DDD manga. Tatsu is one of the best artists currently working.
I loved the slamdunk edit ❤
I'll wait for the Aira cosplay while hugging the golden ball 🪙🪙
We don't even have to wait a year for the next season.
Thank goodness, or else I would’ve cried 😂
Thanks for reacting to Dandadan Ali! I agree that this anime delivered well beyond my original expectations of it. It has a bit of everything to it and is definitely my anime of the year. Looking forward to watching season 2 and your reacts to it!
Yeah I knew I was going to end up reading the manga after this episode, Great reaction!
Anatomy-kun against all odds did not get isekaied after hit by truck-kun
July can't come fast enough ^^
But the manga is amazing, and I'd never been able to wait with that cliffhanger
I started loving Thursdays cuz I'd catch DanDaDan in a break between class then catch your recap after school... looking forward to the next season Ali
Okarun and Jiji singing Slam Dunk my boiss
That thumbnail is wild. 😂
Season 2 of Dandadan is confirmed to be in the Summer of next year. Can't wait for it! The cliffhanger is gave me goosebumps
Happy holidays Allie✌
Thank god season 2 comes out in July. I'm so used to waiting YEARS between seasons
Summer 2025 for the season 2?! OK, it's very cool the studio take his time to make a great show, but daaaammmmnn!!
pulling out the golden ball at the end👏nice one
3:41 PEAK SLAM DUNK REFERENCE 🏀🏀
OKARUN AND JIJI SINGING SLAM DUNK SONG IS UNEXPECTED HAHAHA
Well Good News then Dan Da Dan has been confirmed to return July of 2025
this is jijis 4th jojo pose lmao
thank god i started the manga so i get blessed with new chapters every week. i highly recommend it. really loved your reactions btw. :)
Where do you get the manga? I cannot find past volume 10. I know there are 17 volumes, but I can not find them in the us
golden ball! 面白い 笑った😚
Well now we have to wait 7 months for the second part of this first season
15:09 クリスマスツリーのオーナメントですよね🌲
金玉ではないですよねlol
It is! And it’s super gold
S2 and S3 will blow S1 out of the water. Anime onlys are in for an insane experience!!
Slam Dunk Opening and Ending Songs 😊😊
so okarun was singing the ending?
As a manga reader, ending the season on that cliffhanger is crazy work 😂 the manga gonna skyrocket after this one lmao
Can't wait for season 2 this July!
Oh i can't wait for you to see what happens next season
S2 comin in summer time confirmed
Gosh I hate the ending so much. One scene earlier or later would’ve been so much better t.t
Same I was a bit baffled where they ended it. I wondered if they'd make it a double length episode and, without explicitly spoiling it, end at the ending of chapter 35 😅 that woulda been SICK. And more devious but in a good way
This ending was diabolical 😬
The manga continues in chapter 33 btw
Technically season one isn’t over yet. This is just the first cour of season 1. They ordered two cours, the second one is going to come out in July.
Tbh I didn’t expect them to adapt all this in episode twelve. I figured that they would save actually going to Jiji’s house for the second part.
15:12 I feel tremendous life energy!
Nice giant Kintama. Is it Taro’s? The townspeople remind of the Serpo aliens with big smiley faces and heads. All the aliens are creepy while all the yokai’s are scary.
Were they singing the Slam Dunk ED?
Now we know where is the other golden ball... interesting decoration....
i always knew HOA karens are the absolute worst
0:40 You gonna read the manga? This is best arc so far in Dandadan Manga: Chapters 74-120.
I will read up until the point of where this ended to avoid spoilers for future reactions :)
Broo they're so evil for stopping on that scene could've added 1 more episode without spoiling anything more in the 2nd season.
momo be drowning for 6 months
i really wish we could have gotten an end of season movie to wrap up jiji's arc. like what happened with chainsaw man.
doesnt seem like we will, but at least we only have half a year til season 2 now.
Yes read the manga they are really good and not that long to read
It's weird that they're advertising the next batch of episodes as Season 2 when it feels more like a Cour 2 or a Season 1 Part 2.
Also FYI Ali, Okarun is pronounced "Oka-roon"
Damn the fun are coming now but yet!!!!
You have to wait july 2025...
I dont understand why they’d end the season in the beginning of a really good arc. It would have been perfect to end season 1 with finishing this arc.
Manga Dandadan chapter 34
Let's gooo! Can't believe this is the end :/ (for now)
I think Ken and Jiji were singing a Ken song
A show that can make you cry over mannequins is truly a special show.
Part 2 officially announced for July 2025!
I like your smile just saw on Shorts vid of gojo 😊😊
Season 2 announced for July
That cliffhanger😂😂😂 I just uploaded my reaction too!!
momo is okay okarun and jiji no
Terrible cliffhanger
You might wanna start to read the manga, babe. It´s either that or wait to july 2025
JiJi sucks. This is the MomOkarun show.
eeew old people
Dandadiddy strikes again!
Jokes aside, Tatsu keeps attacking bad men by showing them doing awful things (the aliens are dressed as salarymen)
And showing us how terrifying life can be for women
@@arbitraryifyjapan seems like diddys paradise atp
@@arbitraryify yeah I truly love this show it just gets a little terrifying when those scenes happen lmao
@@j_official4138 it kinda is. Did you know women who fight back against gr0pers on trains are arrested?
