Following the global theatrical rollout, Dan Da Dan S2 comes to ADN, Crunchyroll, Hulu, Muse, Netflix and other streaming platforms starting July 3.
The critically lauded and wildly popular show returns for a new chapter, following the first season’s conclusion in December 2024. With production from Science SARU (DEVILMAN crybaby, Inu-Oh, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off), the second season is co-directed by Yamashiro, director of the first season, and longtime Science SARU veteran Gongora, who directed the opening theme of the first season. Composer kensuke ushio (Chainsaw Man, DEVILMAN crybaby) also returns for Season 2.
Synopsis: Dan Da Dan follows Momo, a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult geek. In this new arc, Momo and Okarun set out on their latest adventure, traveling to a hot springs town home rented by Jiji, Momo’s childhood friend and former crush, with the goal to solve the mystery surrounding his family. When they arrive, strange locals derail their investigation before it can properly begin, and the group soon learns there’s more lurking under the surface of the town than they could possibly have imagined.
The first season of Dan Da Dan (2024) garnered widespread critical and audience acclaim for the quality of its animation, writing and endearing characters. The S1 opening theme song “Otonoke” from duo Creepy Nuts became a social media phenomenon, maintaining record-breaking run at No. 1 for 20 weeks on the Billboard Global Japan Songs list. The series was praised by The New York Times, Washington Post, Teen Vogue and others.
The television anime is an adaptation of author Yukinobu Tatsu’s manga of the same name, which is currently serialized in Shueisha’s Shonen Jump Plus. Tatsu previously worked as an assistant to Tatsuki Fujimoto on Chainsaw Man and Fire Punch, and with Yuji Kaku on Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku. The original manga series recently crossed 10 million in sales, more than doubling its circulation following the global success of animated series.
