Dandadone

That really is a nasty way to end a season.Poor Momo will have to hold her breath until July, being stared at by this creepy old fart.

A creepy old man is vaguely visible through green tinted water, air bubbles floating to the surface

That’s Dandadan for you, finished as it started, with a creepy sexual assault on its main protagonist. Best series this season nevertheless. Normally I don’t particularly like this sort of big Shonen Jump adaptations, as they’re aimed at eleven year olds like my nephew and I’m not eleven anymore, but this was the perfect mix of horror, action and humour. I love that Ayase Momo is very much the main protagonist, a rarity for a shounen series, with Okarun her faithful sidekick. I like how comfortable they are with each other and how easily Momo’s gyaru friends accept him. I like how much of a goofball they both are, as are Aya and Jin. The animation is great, but the voice acting, especially Momo’s (Wakayama Shion). Just a great series overall.
