Dan Da Dan Episode 11 Review: Momo’s First Love Is Jin-tolerable

Uh-oh! This was easily one of the slowest, most boring, and downright annoying episodes of Dan Da Dan so far.

Titled “First Love”, the episode picks up exactly where Episode 10 left off, Momo Ayase’s first love shows up unannounced at her doorstep. While Momo is completely taken aback by his sudden arrival, the real shocker is that he’ll be staying with them for a while. Cue some mild comedy as Okarun struggles to process his feelings, caught between confusion and defeat. His first thoughts upon meeting the newcomer? “He looks so cool” and “He seems athletic too.” Poor Okarun.

Jin Enjoji, the new guy, is good-looking but, much like Aira Shiratori, he is ridiculously vain, much more annoyingly upbeat, and has a penchant for shameless flirting. Jin reveals he’s been dealing with some strange incidents at home and has come to seek Seiko Ayase’s help (Momo’s granny). While his antics are meant to be comedic, they end up more irritating than funny. Jin Enjoji is basically J-intolerable!

Honestly, there isn’t much else to say about this episode, it was quite a letdown. The first half drags with Jin explaining his situation and being a menace, while the second half introduces a new supernatural character who is somehow even more annoying than Jin. The new entity isn’t scary at all, and its presence only adds to the episode’s frustration. Although, in the only interesting twist in the episode – the new entity might hold the key to finding Okarun’s missing ball. L-O-L.

Here’s hoping the story and comedy pick up pace in the next episode.

You can stream Dan Da Dan on Netflix and CrunchyRoll.
