Dandadan

Holy hell, that was a trip. I have no idea where we go from here when it comes to the plot. Did they just out the existence of aliens to the rest of the world?

The production of this show was fantastic. Science SARU gathered their A team for this one and it shows. A visual treat from beginning to end. I love it when anime really leans into wacky animation, something Studio Trigger does really well. There was tons of it this episode with the visual styles changing constantly throughout the episode.

It though I was on crack while watching this. 10/10, I will be back next week.

This was absolutely stunning to look at and it was very easy to get invested in the characters and their relationship. The way it's shot and animated gave everything a very vibrant and wacky energy that set the tone very well.

.... However. Momo's scene with the aliens was extremely uncomfortable to watch. Ken's side of the plot where his "weenie" is stolen (or just possessed?) by the granny ghost is only better in that they didn't show that to us. I really want to like this, but it just feels too based in sexual assault of minors ?? Can someone familiar with the source material let me know if this is a show about weird sex stuff (no judgement, just not for me) or if that was a bit of a one-off that will get toned down or left behind going forward?

After watching this episode, I finally get this reference in 100gf:
