DANDADAN SERIES REVIEW
Ken ‘Okarun’ Takakura (Natsuki Hanae) is a socially awkward misfit with an Agent Mulder brain. If the truth is out there, he wants to find and befriend a couple of aliens while learning and adapting their ways. Momo Ayase (Shion Wakayama) is the granddaughter of a powerful medium with passed down psychic power that puts the fear of god into all the creepy crawling bumps in the night. The two think the other’s hobbies and beliefs are complete bunk, but during a heated altercation, these two high school kids bet that the other wouldn’t last in their world. Thus begins the visually stunning and narrative inanity of DanDaDan, a manga adaptation anime streaming on CrunchyRoll and Netflix from legendary animation studio Science Saru (Scott Pilgrim Takes Off! and DevilMan Crybaby) and creator Yukinobu Tatsu. DanDaDan is a breakneck paced slice of life infused with sci fi abduction, occult cosmic horror, haunted houses, and perverted grannies that would wager your family jewels on a midnight footrace. It’ll take more than a new found friendship and budding romance to exorcise these demons. Sometimes a conversation and understanding goes a long way, but kicking an alien invader’s ass with hereditary powers goes even further. Bradly, Kim, and Dogget discuss the weirdest anime to hit pique popularity state-side since the adult swim days of Fooly Cooly, open up about their admiration for high risk storytelling, and then gossip about every 90s kids’ first TV crush, The Pink Ranger.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.
Kimberly Brown (Highly Suspect Reviews)
Kimberly wants to live in a world filled with blue telephone boxes, speedsters, and ice dragons but through an ironic twist of fate, she’s stuck in this reality where these wondrous things only exist on page or film. Kim’s perpetual desire to consume sci-fi and fantasy media as a teen led her to the study of illustration/design at university to better understand its creation. Currently an Austin transplant, when she’s not wearing her critic hat you can find her pretending to like hiking, fielding questions about her hair or maybe even enjoying a local brew at the nearest dive bar.
Danny Dogget (Screener Squad)
Hey persons, it’s your favorite canine Dogget! As many of you know, I don’t identify as a critic as much as a classy shock jock. That being said, I do my best to give all of you a well-balanced review filled with my true opinions and hopefully a few laughs. You can occasionally find me on other persons podcast like Mission Impodible (that’ll be 10 dollars Nathan). For the most part, you can find me doing reviews on Oneofus.net.
