Dandadan E9
This episode sucked. Definitely the worst episode of the show by far. I do not think it is that much worse than, say, E6 though. It is worse for sure - visually and presentation wise - but I’m absolutely not surprised it got to this point. It’s exacerbated by the entire episode being fighting. Only the end of E6 was some fighting and it looked better than this. There were some really bad shots in this still. The running at the end of this episode, holy shit that looked bad. Some of the random still frames that got thrown at you for seconds instead of action - that was bad. The plot - honestly, I fucking tuned out as for what was going on in this episode. I was reading the subtitles but I didn’t really internalize it because it all felt so ass. The show couldn’t really bring me to care about it. Not when the likes of E7 were so good and then it throws this trash on your plate. The humor isn’t funny and isn’t integrated well with the action, all the characters looked off half the time, the CG monsters looked especially bad this episode, - I think this episode is the norm rather than the exception. I haven’t read the manga myself but from how someone I know talked to me about it in comparison to the anime it must be a very different experience. The execution of this is all off. Dandadan as a whole is heading for 3 stars at best from me, maybe 2 depending on how many of the remaining episodes are in line with this mess.
