Dandadan Episode 8
Reminder: Please do not discuss plot points not yet seen or skipped in the show. Failing to follow the rules may result in a ban.
The opening argument between Momo and Aira reminded me of Get Smart or maybe FLCL. It was just so wacky with giant text across the screen as they talked with their mouths full.
Then this majesty happens:
I love how for Okarun, getting his ball back is a big deal but everyone else is just messing with him, especially Turbo Granny.
Then we get the love-triangle story arch with a "No, I won't listen to you and will keep the misunderstanding going" trope. It's interesting that Aira went from making fun of Okarun to falling for him. Okarun harem incoming?
At the end of the last episode, it was pretty clear that Aira was going to get powers from Acrobatic Silky. But I love how they introduced it with just enough going on that it comes as a bit of a surprise. And damn does she look cool.
Ahhh I feel so bad for Momo. At least Okarun got functional though..
Also what's up with those 5 min episodes? It says 24 min but I swear it's 5. I want to know what happens next!
A couple random thoughts:
- I was dying during that baseball scene. Who knew that Turbo Granny's turbo-ness translated into a turbo fastball. I love how easily Turbo Granny has fit in with the absurdity of the Ayase household.
- Aira's Acro Silky form looks absolutely sick. The character design in this series has been phenomenal.
- Is that boxing alien meant to be referencing Chiquitita by ABBA? This series doesn't just lean into the weirdness, it leans so far it falls over and drowns in it.

In nutshell
I liked the animation of the dinosaur monster detecting Momo from the ripple she made.
Also, I'm annoyed that Dan Da Dan employs the usual miscommunication / misunderstanding trope. Momo could have hear Okarun out and avoid this needless conflict.
I don't think it's a big deal at the moment - I'm guessing it's going to be resolved by the next episode. I bet they would make up with each other in the midst of their fight and them doing so would - somehow - then enable them to defeat those supernatural beings.
