Dan Da Dan fans, it’s happening — the hype for this wild mix of romance, comedy, and full-blown paranormal battles is real, and it’s breaking records! The Season 2 theatrical screening of Dan Da Dan (ダンダダン) has officially crossed US$5 million in the United States, proving once again that this anime is no underground sleeper — it’s a rising global phenomenon.

Dan Da Dan Evil Eye Smashes the Box Office

The limited U.S. theatrical release, titled Dandadan: Evil Eye, has made a serious impact. According to Box Office Mojo, it ranked #13 in its second week at the box office and has earned a total of US$5,065,415 so far across 830 theaters.

Here’s how it broke down over its second weekend:

  • Friday: $192,294
  • Saturday: $265,880
  • Sunday: $215,000

And that’s not all! During its opening weekend (June 6–9), the screening earned a massive $3,096,000, including $532,000 from Thursday previews. Anime on the big screen is thriving, and Dan Da Dan is leading the charge.

When and Where to Watch DanDaDan Season 2

The full second season of DanDaDan premieres on July 3, 2025, on TBS and MBS as part of the Super Animeism Turbo programming block in Japan. For international fans, Crunchyroll will stream the series simultaneously as it airs in Japan.

So yes — no delays, no waiting. Just pure, high-octane Dan Da Dan weirdness in real time.

Creative Team, Cast & Music — Who’s Behind Season 2?

The new season keeps the familiar chaos flowing with Fūga Yamashiro and Abel Góngora (from Season 1) sharing directorial duties under Science SARU, the studio known for their wildly expressive animation.

Returning Cast Highlights:

  • Momo Ayase and Okarun are back in action!
  • Mutsumi Tamura joins the cast as the creepy-yet-intriguing Evil Eye (Jashi)

The OP and ED themes? Absolute bangers.

Science SARU + Aina The End = anime chaos in its purest form.

What is Dan Da Dan About Again?

If you’re new or need a quick refresher — Dan Da Dan is anything but ordinary. It follows Momo, a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and Okarun, her alien-obsessed classmate. One believes in ghosts, the other in aliens — and both end up being terrifyingly right.

Their bet to prove the existence of the supernatural lands them in situations involving haunted tunnels, UFOs, ancient curses, and absurdly cool battles. Along the way, they awaken supernatural powers — and maybe even romantic feelings.

If you’re into Mob Psycho, Chainsaw Man, or anything with offbeat energy and heart, this is your next obsession. And AnimeKing will be covering every episode when Season 2 drops!

Extra Fun Fact: Global Screenings Galore!

  • Asia (outside Japan) got the first look on May 30, courtesy of Muse.
  • Europe followed on June 7, organized by ADN.
  • And let’s not forget — Dan Da Dan: First Encounter, which screened last September in the U.S., pulled in over $1 million for just three episodes.

That’s the power of hype and quality storytelling.
