Dan Da Dan 1.01

That's How Love Starts, Ya Know!

Momo Ayase and Ken Takakura (aka Okarun) meet when she stands up for him in school. She believes in ghosts. He believes in UFOS (or UAPs or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). She has never seen or encountered a ghost. He has never encountered alien beings.

They challenge one another to visit sites that aliens (in her case) and ghosts (in his case) are supposed to frequent. She encounters aliens who try to have sex with her. He encounters and is possessed by Turbo Granny, a spirit. They both gain or discover supernatural powers in the course of their encounters.

It isn't until the end of the episode that she learns that his name. Ken Takakura, is also the name of the actor on whom she has a crush.

Thoughts

This was a crazy weird ride. I'm not sure where this series goes from here. Its pretty clear that Momo and Okarun are going to stick together. He seems to be interested in her from the first time they meet. The same can't be said about her interest in him.

I'm not sure if I will stick with this series. I don't know enough about how it is going to develop. The anime is based on a manga series of the same name that started in 2021. I might watch a few more episodes.
