Review of Dan Da Dan

It's a shonen-action school romcom. Except none of the attempts at humor were funny, the "romance" as always goes nowhere and was especially cliched virgin cringe dialogue/overacting, and the story itself went nowhere beyond an excuse for battle of the week shonen action that was well animated but boring without any stakes, just watching the canonically plot-armored main characters get slammed through concrete without any consequence before casually smacking their enemies out of existence. The show lacks focus on anything like it has ADHD, whipping between slapped together emotional melodrama and slapstick potty/sex jokes only a child could find funny. Plus it ends in the middle ofnothing without any attempt at any meaningful season finale, so anticlimactic the whole season's nonstory is a waste of time.

It's juvenile and terrible and yet the bar of other anime during its season is so low that it's still one of the better ones coming out at the time.

3/10 (where 5/10 is average)
