The Global Phenomenon Returns Bigger Than Ever
If you somehow missed the DAN DA DAN craze that swept the world in 2024, here’s what you need to know: this series absolutely DOMINATED the anime scene last year. The first season was a certified global hit that had everyone talking, with The New York Times, Washington Post, and Teen Vogue all singing its praises!
The opening theme “Otonoke” by Creepy Nuts (who also performed for “Call of the Night“) became an absolute social media sensation, smashing records with an unprecedented 20-WEEK run at #1 on the Billboard Global Japan Songs chart. That’s longer than “Barbie Girl” was on the charts in the 90s, people!
What’s the EVIL EYE Arc All About?
Season 2 kicks off with Momo (a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums) and Okarun (her occult-obsessed classmate) traveling to a mysterious hot springs town with Momo’s childhood friend and former crush, Jiji. What starts as a trip to solve the mystery surrounding Jiji’s family quickly turns into something far more sinister when strange locals and supernatural threats begin to emerge!
The EVIL EYE arc promises to deliver everything fans loved about Season 1 – pulse-pounding action, laugh-out-loud comedy, heart-fluttering romance, and genuinely creepy supernatural encounters – all while expanding the series’ rich mythology.
Animation Dream Team Returns
What makes DAN DA DAN so special? Just look at the creative powerhouse behind it:
- Animation by Science SARU, the revolutionary studio behind “DEVILMAN crybaby,” “INU-OH,” and “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off”
- Co-direction from Season 1 director Fuga Yamashiro AND Abel Gongora, the mastermind behind Season 1’s viral opening sequence
- Music from composer kensuke ushio, who delivered unforgettable soundtracks for “Chainsaw Man” and “DEVILMAN crybaby”
- Character designs by Naoyuki Onda and creature designs by Yoshimichi Kameda that bring the manga’s wild concepts to vivid life
From Assistant to Superstar: The Manga Creator’s Rise
Here’s a fun fact many fans don’t know: DAN DA DAN creator Yukinobu Tatsu previously worked as an assistant to Tatsuki Fujimoto on the global phenomena “Chainsaw Man” and “Fire Punch”! Talk about an impressive anime pedigree!
The manga, currently serialized in Shueisha’s wildly popular “Shonen Jump Plus,” has exploded in popularity following the anime’s success. Sales recently surpassed 10 MILLION copies – more than DOUBLING its circulation after the anime debuted. This is the same pattern we’ve seen with other anime adaptations like “Demon Slayer” and “Jujutsu Kaisen,” signaling that DAN DA DAN is well on its way to becoming the next global anime megahit!
