What Happened In Dan Da Dan Episode #2?

A Controversial And Wild Beginning Of The Series

The episode starts with Momo breaking up with her boyfriend, and longing for her “Ken Takamura”, as she puts it. As she is wandering around school, she sees a shy boy being bullied and intervenes by scaring off the bullies. As she is leaving, the boy goes after her and asks her if she is interested in the existence of aliens like he was. Momo is on the opposite spectrum, as she believes ghosts exist, and the two get into an argument. They challenge each other, and whoever proves their belief correct will have the other as a servant.


Momo goes to an abandoned building to see if aliens exist, and Okarun goes to a tunnel to see if ghosts exist. The two talk on the phone, and it is here they reveal why they have such beliefs, and it is both sad and heartwarming, to say the least. As it turns out, both ghosts and aliens exist, and the two are attacked by them. Okarun is possessed by Turbo Granny, and Momo is kidnapped by the alien race, Serpo. Momo struggles against these creatures who want to breed with her, but it is to no avail.

The first thing one notices about the first episode is the stellar adaptation and animation of the series. The action sequences were executed perfectly, the visuals were colorful and the playful nature of the series was shown through the expressiveness of the characters. The creative choice at the end to use an explosion to symbolize Momo’s potential feelings for Okarun was a neat addition that made the scene, and there are more such additions to come.

With episode #1 introducing the main characters and the conflict, the series can finally start telling the story of the two as they take on the supernatural. From the preview images, this episode will be just as action-packed as the last. Momo and Okarun are set on removing the curse from Turbo Granny using their new-found powers, but before they head to the tunnel, there will most likely be some downtime, judging by the two’s new clothes.

Dan Da Dan has been phenomenal so far, with the long hype and wait finally paying off. The buzz online is also interesting to see, whether it be good or bad. Episode #1 featured a controversial scene that was shocking and set the tone for the weirdness of the series, making it stand out among the many shonen anime being released.
