Episode 7 ofDandadanhas broken the internet with a fresh perspective on the series, captivating fans with its intense emotional depth and stunning animation. While Yukinobu Tatsu’s storytelling is at the heart of this brilliance, the visual feast in the anime adaptation wouldn’t come to life without the effort of Science SARU’s animation team.
At the heart of this episode’s brilliance lies the creative genius of Shūto Enomoto, a rising star in the anime industry. While he had worked as an animator for multiple hits before,Dandadanmarks his storyboarding debut. Along with storyboarding, his collaboration with Kōtarō Matsunaga as animation director has brought this heart-wrenching episode to fruition.
The Challenges of AnimatingEpisode 7 ofDandadan
In a recent interview viaAnime News Network, Shūto Enomoto admitted the difficulties and skepticism associated with animating this highly acclaimed episode ofDandadan. This candid reflection demonstrates the passion and dedication of the animators, who worked tirelessly to ensure that Episode 7 became one of the standout moments of the season.
Enomoto revealed that his transition to storyboarding for this episode presented him with an immense challenge. While the manga chapter involving Acrobatic Silky’s memories was relatively short, the anime director ofDandadan, Fūga Yamashiro, desired a deeper dive into her character. Enomoto took these expanded ideas and carefully adapted them into storyboards that conveyed the depth of the story. However, Enomoto revealed,
I drew the storyboard with director Yamashiro’s ideas in mind, but to be honest, some of them were quite difficult to work with, and I was worried whether I would be able to complete it or not.
Kōtarō Matsunaga, who was also presented in the interview, recalled his reaction upon seeing the scene claiming that they both were unsure about how to execute this properly. The decision to focus heavily on Acrobatic Silky required advanced animation techniques to capture thecharacter’s emotional and physical turmoil.

Many innovative angles were added to increase the depth of the scene but on the other hand, portraying the subtle details posed a significant technical challenge for the team. Despite these hurdles, the team utilized advanced tools like Blender to create a 3D layout for the difficult sequences such as Silky’s running out of the apartment.

While the action scenes often define the quality of animation in anime series,Dandadan‘s Episode 7 stands out due to itsperfect balancebetween intense action and emotional sequences.
