Today's Dandadan episode felt like a sad movie. The anime took a different approach with Acro Silky's backstory than the manga, but it was still deeply affecting. The episode was beautifully directed, and this whole backstory was handled with care, no doubt. It explores a mother's struggle through a dark phase, yet she finds joy in coming home to her daughter, teaching her ballet in her spare time, and using her earnings from sex work to buy nice and cute clothes for her lovely little child. The manga's depiction was much harsher, ngl. It showed how the world can be so cruel to some people who want nothing but the best for their children. The mother was living a cruel life, but she was doing that sort of work to ensure her daughter gets to live a better life. But things didn't go the way she planned..
This is an insane loss. Her ending song in Season 4 is one of my personal favourite endings of all time in any anime, RIP Sayuri. You were taken from us far too soon. ❤️🕊️
Rest in Peace to Sayuri, an awesome singer-songwriter of many anime & J-pop songs. Hearing the ED of Erased made me a huge fan of her unique voice. 28 is so young. 😢🙏
//It has come to my attention that they've announced that Akira Toriyama passed away.
I don't know what to say other than this:
Thank you, Sensei.
Rest well.
With love, "your Translator"
