DanDaDan Episode 7

EHelström

It's episodes like these that make properly done anime so special when compared to the manga. While the manga was touching it didn't have the proper time (just a few pages versus the minutes in the episode), motion, acting and music to go along with it. Great job to the director, Kōtarō Matsunaga, and Science SARU!

Ah, Emotional Damage ™

I’m not crying. You’re crying.

Edward Krook

I have seen a lot of anime and NOTHING compare to this, fucking brilliant episode.

Silver

I cried reading the manga. I knew this episode was gonna murder me 😭 RIP Acro-Silky. You were a great mom

Grandmasta

reading it was already hard enough, now combine that with a perfectly fitting emotional OST!?

Shawn Allen

Direction, story, music, animation, everything in this episode is perfect. This may be one of my all time favorite episodes of an anime ever. I sob every time I watch that backstory.

Kevin Baker

Not a manga reader: My headcannon is that the debt that was owed to the lownsharks was the deadbeat (or dead) father's. They'll collect on anyone related if they can't find the borrower. Reference: Chainsaw Man Also, the kind of debt she'd have to accumulate where her daughter was considered as slave collateral doesn't make sense for her character.

Great reaction,i definitely cried both during reading and watching this for the first time, these were the chapters that got me hooked to the series. Also, @0.38 both of the balls are not in that one golden ball, it's only one of them in there

This is the type of episode that makes me think: “Now I can’t watch anything else for the rest of the day”

Cara&Prez

During the edit there was sooo many little details I managed to pick up, actually a stunning episode with some much to it

jpizzle

Yep same guy

Cara&Prez

Also same guy as Silent Voice apparently? Crazy talent I’m taking a note of the name

Cara&Prez

Oh this is amazing thank you 🙏🏼

klairvoyage

I do think it's funny this kind of legitimate analysis pertains to the very same show that just made me cry lol

Kurri

yeah, the anime didnt really show it as well but there is like a split second showcase of her jumping off the building if you slow it down right

Ciego

I may be mistaken but i think during the dance sequence she jumped off to her doom because she looked to be ontop of a building, thats why there was that crunch during the daughter sequence when she said thank you. which makes it even more tragic, i didnt think a show about getting balls and a weiner back would have such a strong and emotional episode but damn what an episode

jpizzle

Ah fellow manga reader. I have been waiting for this to episode to be animated

jpizzle

They don’t show it as obvious in the anime but In the manga, acrobat silky commits suicide by dancing off a rooftop

Kurri

https://x.com/VishalSid_1/status/1857122012436525134 please watch this, compares this episodes scenes w the manga (plus showcases something that wasnt obvious in the episode)

jpizzle

Also the OST is composed by Kensuke Ushio - same guy for Dangers

jpizzle

That golden ball only contains one of okarun’s nuts, they still have to find the other one

Kurri

i watched this with my housemates and it was so hard to try not to tear up

Niyabinghi
