everyoneâs acting like DanDaDan is the best thing to happen to anime in a decade and Iâm sitting here like⌠are we watching the same show?
donât come for me yet hear me out
the animation is gorgeous. the opening is fire. Okarun and Momo are cute together. but can we stop pretending this show invented anything? itâs literally Mob Psycho + Chainsaw Man + a romcom and somehow everyoneâs calling it revolutionary
what DanDaDan actually is:
⢠insane sakuga covering up a pretty basic plot
⢠fanservice that gets a pass because âitâs done ironicallyâ
⢠a fun show that doesnât need to be called peak to be worth watching
and thatâs FINE. not everything has to be a masterpiece. but the discourse around this show is exhausting because people canât just say âIâm having funâ without crowning it anime of the decade
you know what kills me? we had Dungeon Meshi this same year. actual themes. character arcs that matter. world building that makes sense. but everyoneâs too busy losing their minds over aliens fighting ghosts to appreciate actual storytelling
Iâm still watching DanDaDan btw. Iâm enjoying it. but enjoying something and calling it perfect are two different things and the anime community forgot how to separate those
the hype cycle is setting people up to be disappointed when they go in expecting god-tier and get âsolid action comedy with great animationâ instead
this is gonna make people mad and honestly? good. I want to know what shows YOU think are overhyped right now. not because I want to fight but because Iâm genuinely curious if Iâm alone in this
be honest - whatâs a popular anime you think doesnât deserve all the hype itâs getting?
(and before you type it yes I know you disagree and yes I want to hear why. thatâs the whole point)
