This summer’s best anime is a pitch-black apocalyptic comedy

As someone who’s been living through these chaotic and unsettling times just like you, I can’t help but be drawn to anime that capture the feeling of unease and existential dread that seems to hang heavy in the air. And let me tell you, Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction is one such anime that doesn’t shy away from exploring these themes with a raw, unapologetic honesty that’s both unsettling and strangely comforting.

If you’re like many people, including myself, with the ability to see, hear, and use our brains effectively, it’s safe to assume that you’ve encountered a significant amount of distressing events over the past five years, let alone the recent turbulence of the last three weeks. As the famous broken record-playing spambot disguised as a horse once said, “life moves at an incredible pace.” In response to the overwhelming feeling of existential unease caused by interconnected crises, it’s natural to try and avoid thinking about everything at once or even altogether. Disconnect, create mental compartments, and carry on with your daily routine as effectively as possible. I understand – truly.

As a passionate gamer, I can truly relate to the raw emotion and intensity that Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction, the latest apocalyptic sci-fi anime from Production +h, brings to the table. Sometimes, it’s so immersive that you may feel an overwhelming urge to look away due to its striking realism. However, I strongly recommend sticking with it, as the experience is truly remarkable. Despite moments of unease and even dread, the show is a must-watch for its exceptional storytelling and captivating visuals.

According to Inio Asano’s 2014 manga “Dead Dead Demon’s Dededede Destruction” (shortened as “Dead Dead Demons”), the narrative revolves around Kadode Koyama and Ouran Nakagawa, long-time friends who continue their normal high school lives after an unexplained alien mothership descends upon Tokyo. Amidst the chaos and loss of life caused by the spaceship, both Kadode and Ouran remain unfazed. This apathetic response is shared by many in their community, as they have adopted a coping mechanism – accepting the problem and adapting to it, much like how Squeeze from “Sorry to Bother You” advised Cassius Green when presented with an overwhelming issue.

The novel “Dead Dead Demon’s Deddedede Destruction” doesn’t follow the typical pattern of an alien invasion story. Instead, it’s a darkly humorous coming-of-age tale about a group of rebellious and apathetic teenage girls living in a bizarre era where the discovery of intelligent extraterrestrial life is met with the same nonchalant acceptance as issues like climate change or the rise of fascism.

Kadode shared her concern with her teacher Watarase in the anime’s second episode, saying, “I have a sense that our future may not be as brilliant as it often is in my manga.” Three years after the extraterrestrial ship’s arrival, Kadode and Ouran are part of a tight-knit circle of friends who aren’t too preoccupied with the impending end of humanity. Instead, they focus on their personal matters, such as pursuing crushes or discovering new restaurants. They even skip homework to test out the newest tactical military shooter game. Essentially, they’re just typical teenagers navigating everyday challenges while living under the constant looming presence of an alien spacecraft.

As a gamer, I can tell you that the impending arrival of the mothership leaves us all on edge in Kadode and Ouran’s friend circle. Each of us girls feels this unease in our own way, even if we don’t explicitly express it. academically, I’m quite capable, but I choose to underachieve. The reason? I’ve lost hope for my future and that of the world. It’s a heavy burden to carry, but one that I can’t escape.

Despite putting in immense effort to attend a prestigious high school and university, Kadode shares his concerns with Ouran as they stroll home in the sweltering summer heat. He expresses his fears that even with these accomplishments, the economy could crash or the population could decline, leaving him working for an oppressive corporation. Furthermore, he worries that climate change might transform Tokyo into a barren wasteland, rendering life as unbearable as living on the moon. This grim perspective elicits a wicked, dark chuckle from Kadode and Ouran. Such is the unique blend of despair and levity found within this captivating narrative.

Despite its dismal outlook, “Dead Dead Demon’s Dededede Destruction” manages to inject optimism and reassurance amidst the deluge of self-destructive insanity. Though it may not be for any individual or humanity as a whole, there remains solace in the connections and communities we persistently cultivate and sustain against all odds. As Hiroshi, Ouran’s elder brother, explains in episode 5 during an event that transpired long before the alien mothership arrived, “If something catastrophic befalls us, there won’t be much we can do but accept it as our new reality. But if that’s the situation, what should we do to keep hope alive? Focus on saving just one person; you can’t shoulder the burden of everyone, only one is necessary.”

Humans can exhibit foolishness, illogical behavior, narrow-mindedness, and self-centeredness. Dead Dead Demon’s Dededede Destruction doesn’t shy away from showcasing this side of humanity. Surprisingly, the series underscores the importance of companionship amidst all these flaws and the chaos of growing up in a world on the brink of destruction. Despite its quirks and unsettling aspects, watching Dead Dead Demon’s Dededede Destruction unfold episode by episode is an intriguing and rewarding experience. This anime stands out from the crowd of summer premieres, offering a unique perspective worth exploring instead of endlessly consuming doomscrolling content.

Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
