Dandadan is full of bizarre aliens.
But even with its heavy-hitter of a first season, certain episodes stand out above the rest.
First Love is one of the slower episodes, but it proves important to the narrative.
It’s an emotionally poignant episode where everything feels like it’s coming together for the better.
That is before, in true Dandadan fashion, Jiji is introduced, causing new tension.
It also shows Momo’s grandma as a fully-fledged character with all the abilities and knowledge she has.
10Like, Where Are Your Balls?
She reveals that Okarun still isn’t quite whole.
Plus, you are introduced to Aira, who is soon to play a bigger part in the series.
What would be a boring filler episode for some other series is anything but in Dandadan.
A big theme of anime is always striving to be better, and these characters embody that.
Okarun shows off some of his anxieties in relation to Momo and his new powers.
Momo herself wonders what people think of her.
Aira reveals more about herself as well, much to the annoyance of the protagonists.
It’s a great ending to an episode that feels nearly like a slice of life.
It doesn’t have some of the big fights, but some solid character building.
Not to mention all the great animation in the fight scenes with Granny too.
5Have You Ever Seen A Cattle Mutilation?
This time, this comes in the form of the Silky.
