Dandadan — First Impressions

If you like the opening, you will like the rest of Dandadan:

Nothing much to say about this one because it sells itself. Nerdy UFO obsessed otoko clashes with heartbroken gyaru who believes in ghosts. They each set out to proof the other wrong by going to the respective UFO/ghost activity hotspots. He gets his dick stolen by a creepy grandma ghost, she gets almost raped by aliens with metal drills for penises. In the end they save each other. Science Saru is doing the adaptation and it looks good.

The one caveat is that sexual assault. It’s deeply creepy and uncomfortable as it should be, but you still have a high school girl getting her legs spread open clad only in her underwear. I don’t think it’s intended as fanservice but honestly, the whole alien attack could’ve been done differently. It was unpleasant in the original manga and it’s not improved in anime. This is the sort of thing that could’ve been changed for the adaptation.
