Dandadan, animated by Science Saru, has set the bar incredibly high with its exceptional quality. Every frame is meticulously crafted, capturing the chaotic energy and humor that defines this unique prologue. The animation quality is spectacular, and Science Saru has not only met but surpassed expectations, creating a visually immersive experience that truly brings this story to life.
The premise itself is a clever twist: an otaku boy who fervently believes in aliens but dismisses ghosts pairs up with a girl who holds the opposite beliefs. Their playful challenge to visit a paranormal hotspot quickly spirals out of control when he encounters a ghostly curse, and she gets abducted by aliens. This arc is all about the two of them navigating these bizarre occurrences and working together to lift the curse—a journey filled with surprises, scares, and laughs.
One of the highlights of this arc is the chemistry between the two main characters. Their dynamic, rooted in their conflicting beliefs and personalities, adds depth and humor to the story, keeping viewers invested as they learn to rely on each other despite their skepticism. This interaction alone makes the arc stand out, as it builds the foundation for what promises to be a fantastic duo.
The music also deserves praise for its role in amplifying the tension and excitement throughout the arc. It complements the visuals and story perfectly, immersing us even deeper in the supernatural rollercoaster. Dandadan‘s Turbo Granny arc is truly a banger of a prologue, setting up high expectations for the episodes to come.
