Dandadan season 2: Everything to know and what to expect

The Dandadan series has taken the fandom on a rollercoaster ride with its unpredictable fusion of horror, comedy, and heartfelt character moments. It became one of the most talked-about supernatural anime of 2024, and now that Season 2 of the anime is ready to be released soon, anticipation builds as fans want to know: when is it coming, what manga chapters will it adapt, and how will the characters evolve?

Season 2 of Dandadan will officially be released on July 3, 2025. Although the first three episodes of this new series will also be aired as a movie, Dandadan: First Encounter. The production house, Science Sara, has recently announced this and released the trailer, so fans worldwide know what to expect.

With this announcement, the fandom is already hyped and cannot wait to watch it in the cinema. Given its consistent popularity and high streaming numbers, this quick turnaround isn't surprising.

The first season of Dandadan covered Chapter 34 of the manga and ended towards the start of the Cursed House Arc. This arc is about the haunting of Jiji’s childhood home. During this time, Jiji gets possessed by a spirit, and the story introduces Evil Eye. The group faces immense danger as they attempt to deal with the supernatural menace.

Notably, fans can expect the relationship between Momo and Okarun in Dandadan to grow in Season 2. Both of them undoubtedly care for one another, but they struggle to admit it. One thing is for sure that this season will have more comedic misunderstandings, jealousy-fueled fights, and emotionally charged moments that bring them closer.

During this season, other characters other than Momo and Okarun would get more significant. Jiji, as will supporting character like Aira and Vamola, will get to shine. Also, with Evil Eye on the horizon, expect bigger, more destructive showdowns.

Moreover, Science Saru, the production house responsible for animating this show, will again be delivering wonderful animation. Fight scenes in Dandadan are dynamic and imaginative, and the animation would overall be more vibrant, hyper-fluid, and expressive. From what we can deduce from the trailer that has been released, the action scenes would blend actions with real emotional weight.

The anime is being directed by Fuga Yamashiro, and the screenwriting is by Hiroshi Seko (he is famous for his work in Attack on Titan Final Season and Jujutsu Kaisen). The music, composed by Kensuke Ushio, alternates between haunting ambient tracks and adrenaline-pumping battle themes.

Finally, season 1 of Dandadan received a positive response from the fans across the anime community, with many praising its perfect blend of supernatural chaos, comedy, and heart. This has set the stage for even greater anticipation for the next instalment.

Recap of Season 1 in Dandadan

Momo Ayase believes in ghosts. Okarun believes in aliens. Neither of them believed in others' obsession until they were proven wrong and had to pay a huge cost as a consequence. Momo is abducted by aliens, while Okarun is cursed and possessed by a ghost, and his family jewels are stolen. Momo's grandmother helps them along the way to power up and accept their new reality.

The initial arc introduces Turbo-Granny, a spirit who possesses Okarun and grants him powers. At the same time, Momo in Dandadan displays latent psychic abilities after her alien encounter. Both of them start fighting against the curses around them as a team and make friends along the way. Last episode of the season, Jiji, who is Momo’s childhood friend, takes them to the creepy haunted house. This is the point from which season 2 will pick up.
