Where to Watch Dandadan Season 2
The second season will be available across multiple major streaming platforms:
- Crunchyroll
- Netflix
- Hulu (U.S. only)
- Muse Asia (Youtube Channel)
Depending on your region, Netflix might be the most accessible option, as it streams in more countries than Crunchyroll. Note: Disney+ may carry Dandadan in some regions under its Hulu content distribution, but this hasn’t been officially confirmed.
Did You Know?
According to a Bloomberg report, Crunchyroll allegedly downplayed Dandadan’s promotion due to its availability on other platforms. Despite this, Dandadan was one of the top hits of the 2024 fall anime season—proof that fans know a banger when they see one.
What Arcs Will Dandadan Season 2 Cover?
Season 1 covered approximately Chapters 1–32 of Yukinobu Tatsu’s original manga. Season 2 will begin from Chapter 33 (Volume 5) and is expected to span roughly 30–40 chapters, similar to the pacing of the first season.
Confirmed arcs include:
- Curse House Arc (continuation)
- Evil Eye Arc
- Possibly the Kaiju Arc, taking the story up to Chapter 73
The season will consist of 12 episodes, animated once again by Studio Science SARU, the visual madlads behind the trippy, stylish chaos of Season 1.
New Directors & Returning Talent
- Directors:
- Fuga Yamashiro (returning director)
- Abel Góngora (new co-director, known for Scott Pilgrim Takes Off and Star Wars Visions: TO-B1)
- Series Composition/Head Writer:
- Hiroshi Seko (returning)
The addition of Góngora brings even more global flair and creative energy to an already boundary-pushing anime.
What Makes Dandadan So Popular?
It’s hard to pinpoint a single reason why Dandadan became a phenomenon, but there are a few standout qualities that helped it capture hearts (and eyeballs) worldwide:
- Non-traditional Shonen structure: Instead of focusing purely on battles, it mixes comedy, romance, horror, and sci-fi in a way that’s both chaotic and emotionally sincere.
- Slick, experimental animation: Science SARU has given Dandadan a style unlike anything else airing right now.
- Wacky yet lovable characters: From grandma-exorcists to turbo-horny aliens, Dandadan‘s cast is equal parts absurd and iconic.
- Widespread accessibility: Its availability on platforms like Netflix and MANGA Plus has made it incredibly easy to discover for international fans.
“Many people enjoyed the series around the world, even more than the production team expected.“
— Lin, Shonen Jump+ Editor
