“I’ll just ask one more time. Are you guys being bullied?”
The aliens might seem defeated and gone for now, but Momo, Okarun, and Aira are left to grapple with the embarrassment of being spotted nearly naked in their school corridors by multiple witnesses! Episode 10 of Dan Da Dan kicks off with a hilarious scene of the three students sitting across from a school staff member, who earnestly asks if they were being bullied. That’s got to be the simplest explanation for why three teens were flapping around without clothes at school, right?!
Titled “Have You Ever Seen A Cattle Mutilation”, the rest of this episode doesn’t quite match the fun or entertaining tone of the last few Dan Da Dan installments. But after all the alien-induced chaos, the teens do need a moment to catch their breath. Most of the chapter focuses on the comical aftermath of their encounter, with half the school gossiping about how the girls and Okarun were found lying in their underwear. While the vain Aira freaks out over her “pure” image being ruined forever, Momo worries that the rumors about her will only get worse. More importantly, she also demands answers from Okarun over what’s cooking between him and Aira.
In a little twist, the hired “gig worker” from episode 9 is still around, determined to finish the job he was hired for so he can collect payment from the Serpoians (the aliens who want Okarun’s banana). So, the second half of the episode features wacky interactions between the gig worker and our protagonists, who, this time, receive some help from Granny Seiko to deal with the situation. There’s a supposed-to-be-funny sequence where everyone fights over food, but honestly, it’s more annoying than humorous. Regardless, the animation and music keep things fairly entertaining.
You can stream ‘Dan Da Dan’ on Netflix and CrunchyRoll.
