Season 2 of Dan Da Dan will premiere on Crunchyroll in July 2025. The second season will pick up after the acclaimed first season’s cliffhanger ending.
The newly unveiled Season 2 announcement visual captures a sense of tension and unease. The ominous presence of Evil Eye, fixated on Jiji standing at the centre, commands attention with its unsettling gaze. The deep purple hues that fill the background heighten the anticipation of the intense and merciless battles that await Momo, Okarun, Jiji, and Turbo Granny.
Adding to the intrigue, the artwork features portraits of renowned classical composers and a small kaiju, hinting at the bizarre and unpredictable adventures in Dan Da Dan.
Dan Da Dan follows Momo, a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult geek. The two of them started talking after Momo rescued Okarun from being bullied. However, an argument ensues—Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts.
To make each other believe in what they deny the existence of, Momo goes to an abandoned hospital known for its UFO sightings, and Okarun goes to a tunnel that is said to be haunted. In each place, they encounter overwhelming paranormal entities that defy comprehension. Momo awakens her hidden power amid trouble, and Okarun gains the power of a curse to challenge the supernatural entities.
Dan Da Dan is the directorial debut of Fuga Yamashiro and is the latest series from cutting-edge animation studio Science SARU (The Colors Within; Scott Pilgrim Takes Off) with pulse-pounding original music from Kensuke Ushio (Chainsaw Man).
Dan Da Dan does a great job mixing sci-fi, horror, humour, and rom-com elements to create a great anime with a little something for everyone. The first season of Dan Da Dan is available on Crunchyroll and Netflix.
