"Dan Da Dan Anime Unveils Trailer, Prepares for Theatrical Debut"

DAN DA DAN: A Fall 2024 Anime Sensation
Title | DAN DA DAN |
Director | Fuga Yamashiro |
Studio | Science Saru |
Premiere | October 2024 |
Anticipation is building for DAN DA DAN, a highly anticipated anime poised to be a major hit. Its global distribution, including Crunchyroll, Netflix, and theatrical releases by GKIDS in North America, speaks volumes about its potential.
Based on Yukinobu Tatsu's popular manga, DAN DA DAN centers on Ken "Okarun" Takakura, a boy who believes in aliens but not ghosts, and Momo Ayase, who holds the opposite belief. Their "test of courage" reveals a shocking truth: they're both right, plunging them into chaotic supernatural adventures.
A Stellar Cast and Crew
The latest trailer introduces a wider cast, including Momo's eccentric spirit medium grandmother, Seiko (CV: Nana Mizuki), and classmates Aira Shiratori (CV: Ayane Sakura) and Jin Enjoji (CV: Kaito Ishikawa). The previously revealed cast includes Turbo-Granny (CV: Mayumi Tanaka), Alien Serpo (CV: Kazuya Nakai), Okarun (CV: Natsuki Hanae), and Momo (CV: Shion Wakayama).
Visually Stunning and Sonically Thrilling
DAN DA DAN's vibrant visuals and energetic animation style evoke comparisons to Mob Psycho 100, a testament to Science Saru's renowned animation prowess. Director Fuga Yamashiro, a veteran of the studio, helms this adaptation, promising a visually stunning experience. The stylistic similarities extend to the creative team; Yoshimichi Kameda, a key animator on Mob Psycho 100, designs the aliens and creatures, while Naoyuki Onda (Berserk, Psycho-Pass) designs the human characters. The soundtrack, composed by Kensuke Ushio (A Silent Voice, Devilman Crybaby), and opening theme by Creepy Nuts ("Otonoke"), further enhance the show's appeal.
Catch DAN DA DAN Early!
A special preview event, "DAN DA DAN: First Encounter," showcasing the first three episodes and featuring a Q&A with the creative team, will screen in theaters. Dates include August 31st in Asia, September 7th in Europe, and September 13th in North America.
DAN DA DAN streams on Crunchyroll and Netflix this October.
