With the anime’s premiere,Dandadanhas become a highlight of this anime season. Even before the anime’s release, the manga was winning hearts. Yukinobu Tatsu has given us a uniquely entertaining anime-manga series, and its success is no surprise. The series enjoys a dedicated fanbase that is in love with everything the series has to offer, from the supernatural to the endearing central duo. The story is a mix of many elements which are blended together in the best way possible.
While all of that is more than enough to makeDandadana fan favorite, its quick rise to popularity might be a result of theChainsaw ManEffect. We’ll get into what this effect is, but it should be noted that not justDandadan, but a few other renowned titles owe a part of their success to their association withChainsaw Mancreator Tatsuki Fujimoto.
Tatsuki Fujimoto and TheChainsaw ManEffect
Chainsaw Manis considered one of the more unique shonen anime with a great cast of characters.Tatsuki Fujimotomaintains a good balance between humor and more nuanced themes. Many mangaka who have worked asFujimoto’s assistantshave gone on to create their own massively successful anime-manga series. That is exactly what theChainsaw ManEffect is all about.
This effect has been previously observed with Yuji Kaku (Hell’s Paradise) and Tatsuya Endo (Spy x Family). Both of them have worked as Fujimoto’s assistants and their celebrated series need no introduction. WhileSpy x Familyis a wholesome delight, Hell’s Paradise’s darker elements are reminiscent of Fujimoto’s writing style.Dandadanmight be the third manga that has shown us the majestic powers of theChainsaw ManEffect.

Hyperbole aside, all these series have their great points that worked in their favor to garner all the attention they did. While Fujimoto isn’t directly related to their success, the experience they had working with him must have been a learning curve for all of them. There are some commonalities between all of them, especially in the way they showcase the darker aspects of life.
Spy x Familyis wholesome and optimistic for the most part, but all the characters have experienced tragedy in some form. Whenever those aspects are explored, the darkness seeps through. It’s great to see that they’ve all created their unique mark and found an audience that loves and adores their works. As forDandadan, it’s gradually becoming a must-watch this season!

Long before the anime was announced, fans were hoping to get an anime adaptation that does justice to everything the manga has to offer. As soon as Science Saru was officially announced, fans were relieved about the anime’s future. If there were any lingering doubts left, they were dispelled with the first episode of the anime.Dandadananime started its run with a bang.

From the upbeat opening sequence to the animation style that complements the plot, everything works together to enliven the manga chapters. The chemistry of the central duo becomes apparent right off the bat as they embark on their first adventure together. The anime has many entertaining aspects that fans could get attached to. Hopefully, the momentum set by the first episode will be maintained by the subsequent ones.
