Dandadan #12 — Back to Basics

 

Being loud and rapey.

Impressions:

Hoo boy. If you wanted to cement all the negative feelings I had about this show and bury any memories of its dalliances with over the top action and animation, this would certainly be the approach to take. A final episode (before a six month break) of zero action, zero stylized animation, 90% yelling to mainly show that the main character has not in fact developed whatsoever and will be announcing that fact loudly and repeatedly, and 10% overtures of gang rape. This is how we’re ending things. With allusions to the other main character being sexually assaulted, again. The absolute more unpleasant, unnecessary, and imbecilic part of the first episode. Of all the things they could’ve ended on, this is what they chose. Fantastic. No notes. Bring on a new season of literally anything else, please.
