Otonoke [opening theme] Music by DJ Matsunaga Lyrics by R. As a manga reader first and foremost, I was initially quite skeptical since I loved the writing and art style of the manga.
Ever since the first episode came out, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the next week, because it’s on par with the manga, and sometimes even better
I thought that an anime adaptation of such an ambitious and genre-bending manga would be watered down in terms of both art and animation, especially when I saw the first looks (I was very skeptical with so little character detail), but all of those fears were quickly dispelled when I finally heard how Science SARU was doing it, not to mention their recent lineup of Scott Pilgrim, Devilman Crybaby, and Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken all fit the insanity and feel of DandaDan. Additionally, the studio’s founder Masaaki Yuasa is one of my favorite anime directors/animators of all time, having worked on shows like Ping Pong, Tatami Galaxy, and Devilman again.
