Hello, Hive friends! I've been a bit MIA these past few months because I've been busy with college stuff. You know, things like submitting my thesis or working at my state governorship for internship matters. But now that I have some free time, I can tell you about some of the anime I've been watching these days.
Obviously, I decided to go for the most popular because I wanted to watch something really good, so clearly there was no better option than Dandadan, an anime that deals with aliens and spirits, with excellent animation by Science Saru, a studio known for works like Devilman Crybaby or Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.
Before I go any further, I must confess that I liked it so much that I couldn't wait for the second season and ended up reading the manga. Too many crazy things happen in too short a time! That makes both the manga and the anime very entertaining.
The story follows Momo Ayase and “Okarun”. Momo is a girl who fervently believes in ghosts but strongly denies the existence of aliens, while Okarun is a boy who believes in aliens but considers spirits absurd. One day, at school, they meet and a strange friendship arises after challenging each other to prove the existence of what each denies. This leads Momo to meet aliens and Okarun to encounter a spirit that puts a curse on him... by removing his testicles!
The plot revolves around Okarun and Momo's quest to get “their balls” back, facing supernatural beings and aliens. This makes the anime an explosive combination of comedy, action and romance.

One of the aspects that fascinates me (and I think everyone) is the relationship between Okarun and Momo. It's one of the best romances we can currently see in anime: they look perfect together, and every interaction, every gesture of mutual protection, overflows chemistry all over the place.
Although the anime doesn't focus only on them, there are also characters like Aira, who I honestly don't like very much (sometimes she's quite conceited), and Jiji, who at first seems a bit silly, but then wins you over after analyzing his attitude. There are other secondary characters, but for now they don't have so much relevance (although that could change).

The second season promises to be crazy! Everything that's coming is amazing, and the arc that follows is even more mind-blowing (it reminded me a bit of Gantz Invasion, but I don't want to spoil). I just hope they keep up the quality of the first season, especially the direction. Just watching the ballerina episode is enough to notice the excellent work (although I must admit that there were parts that confused me, but maybe it was just me).
If the animation continues like this, we will have an anime that will stay in the popularity rankings for a long time. So, if you are looking for something entertaining, with a charming romance and spectacular fights, Dandadan is an excellent choice.
Thanks for reading my post and see you next time <3

¡Buenas, amigos de Hive! He estado un poco desaparecido estos últimos meses porque he estado ocupado con temas de la universidad. Ya saben, cosas como presentar la tesis o trabajar en la gobernación de mi estado por asuntos de la pasantía. Pero ahora que tengo algo de tiempo libre, les puedo hablar de algunos de los animes que he visto en estos días.
Obviamente, decidí irme por lo más popular porque quería ver algo verdaderamente bueno, así que claramente no había mejor opción que Dandadan, un anime que trata sobre alienígenas y espíritus, con una excelente animación por parte de Science Saru, un estudio conocido por obras como Devilman Crybaby o Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.
Antes de continuar, debo confesarles que me gustó tanto que no pude esperar a la segunda temporada y me terminé leyendo el manga. ¡Pasan demasiadas cosas locas en muy poco tiempo! Eso hace tanto al manga como al anime muy entretenidos.
La historia sigue a Momo Ayase y a "Okarun". Momo es una chica que cree fervientemente en los fantasmas pero niega rotundamente la existencia de los alienígenas, mientras que Okarun es un chico que cree en los extraterrestres pero considera absurdos a los espíritus. Un día, en la escuela, se conocen y surge una extraña amistad después de retarse mutuamente a demostrar la existencia de lo que cada uno niega. Esto lleva a Momo a encontrarse con aliens y a Okarun a toparse con un espíritu que le lanza una maldición... ¡quitándole los testículos!
El argumento gira en torno a la búsqueda de Okarun y Momo para recuperar "sus bolas", enfrentándose a seres sobrenaturales y extraterrestres. Esto convierte al anime en una explosiva combinación de comedia, acción y romance.

Uno de los aspectos que más me fascina (y creo que a todos) es la relación entre Okarun y Momo. Es uno de los mejores romances que podemos ver actualmente en el anime: quedan perfectos juntos, y cada interacción, cada gesto de protección mutua, desborda química por todos lados.
Aunque el anime no se centra solo en ellos, también están personajes como Aira, que sinceramente no me cae muy bien (a veces es bastante engreída), y Jiji, quien al principio parece un poco tonto, pero luego te gana tras analizar su actitud. Hay otros personajes secundarios, pero por ahora no tienen tanta relevancia (aunque eso podría cambiar).

¡La segunda temporada promete ser una locura! Todo lo que viene es increíble, y el arco que sigue es aún más alucinante (me recordó un poco a la invasión de Gantz, pero no quiero spoilear). Solo espero que mantengan la calidad de la primera temporada, especialmente la dirección. Basta con ver el capítulo de la bailarina para notar el excelente trabajo (aunque debo admitir que hubo partes que me confundieron, pero quizá fue cosa mía).
Si la animación sigue así, tendremos un anime que se mantendrá en los rankings de popularidad por mucho tiempo. Así que, si buscas algo entretenido, con un romance encantador y peleas espectaculares, Dandadan es una excelente opción.
Gracias por leer mi post y nos vemos en la próxima <3
I've heard a lot of good things about this title. Apparently manga editors in Japan haven't seen anything like this (mixing genres, playing with narrative, unique character ideas and worldbuilding) in many years.
It's funny because according to what I read this manga/anime was going to have a darker plot, only that the editor made the creator see more than 100 works of romance so he would change his perspective of seeing things a little bit, maybe that's why the romance is so good in this work.
I think it may be because the author did a good job that could be improved even more. All it took was a slightly different emphasis and basing the action on other threads.
Thanks for sharing this Anime experience, I appreciate the animated gifs to get a good idea of the animation style. !BBH
It's too beautiful the animation, obviously I had to put gifs for everyone to appreciate how beautiful it is.

Este anime es de mis favoritos ya de este año y es evidente las razones. La mezcla de sobrenatural con ciencia ficción, las escenas increíbles de acción y persecuciones, el estilo de animación, las excelentes transiciones, la no paleta de colores, el desarrollo de los personajes, la mezcla de comedia adolescente con romance, etc. Hay mucho de qué hablar de esta obra. Es por eso que también espero mucho de lo que se viene para su segunda temporada.
Buena reseña.
La segunda temporada va a ser una locura, te lo aseguro, nos va a tener a todos esperando el siguiente capítulo semana a semana.
