Dandadan Anime proves itself to be the biggest hit of the fall after the first arc

Dandadan has officially wrapped up the first major arc of its anime with episode 4 of the series, and it proves that this will be the one to watch this Fall 2024 anime season. October was packed with new anime releases that fans have been waiting all year for. Franchises are returning with new entries, highly anticipated sequel seasons and more, but Dandadan has built a great name for itself. The TV anime adaptation for Yukinobu Tatsu’s original manga was probably the biggest new anime of the fall, despite all the stiff competition, and now it’s really clear why.

Dandadan had a special early premiere of the first three episodes ahead of the Fall 2024 anime schedule, so episode 4 was the first truly new episode of the anime which fans all got to see at the same time. This episode served to conclude the series’ first major arc, with Momo Ayase and Ken Takakura reaching new levels in their budding friendship, and now the anime really picks up from this point. As episode 4 of the anime proves, the real story between the two still has a lot to do after the end of their first arc.

What happens in Dandadan episode 4?

DandadanThe first four episodes of the film all focused on both Momo and Okarun (whom Momo nicknamed because she refuses to use his real name) as they tap into mystical powers they’ve never been able to tap into before. With the two deciding to take the fight straight to Turbo Granny at the end of the previous episode, episode 4 continues with them trying to carry out their plan to have the ghost haunt them outside of town (and somehow way to survive all the time). ). But things quickly go wrong because Turbo Granny has much more power and control than expected.

But thanks to the two’s ingenuity, Momo and Okarun are finally able to lure Grandma out of town after she chases them onto a speeding train. With the help of Momo’s grandmother (who has already received the show’s first bit of censorship with her debut in the previous episode), Turbo Granny is successfully defeated and Okarun is freed from the curse. This was the biggest battle for both of them yet, and the final moments of the episode instead reveal the true angle of Dandadan because it is clear that they will remain good friends.

Where does Dandadan season 1 go from here?

Dandadan’The first few episodes of the series may have stood out thanks to the way the creative team at production studio Science Saru brought the manga to life, but Tatsu’s original manga is more about the wild aliens and ghosts that Momo and Okarun encounter. It’s about how the two of them are steadily growing closer as a duo everything they experience. They are now fully friends after the first arc, and this is when the series will really blossom.

Now that they have both been fully introduced to each other and fans have been fully introduced to this world, Dandadan can really get crazy from now on. The series may have already done that it seemed like it was doing wild and random things with his enemies thus far, but it only scratches the surface of what Momo and Okarun ultimately face in the later parts of the series. Now that four episodes are out, it’s time to catch up Dandadan now streaming with Netflix and Crunchyroll.
