As we knew that Dandadan Season 3 was going to be renewed, as the last season ended, the fandom was speculating that maybe the series would start airing soon. Dandadan is a modern shonen anime that has become a cult favorite show and has stood at the top currently as one of the most popular series. The credit goes to Science Saru, the production house responsible for bringing this story to life.

Their vibrant animation style complemented the narrative, which in turn made the viewing experience a delight. Now, according to recent news, it is confirmed that Dandadan Season 3 will start airing in 2027. When the show started airing, it initially was hit with audience criticism on the fact that the characters were put in awkward situations, considering they were only school-going kids.

But as the narrative picked up and with it, viewers witnessed the wild blend of supernatural chaos, sci-fi absurdity, sharp comedy, and surprisingly sincere romance caught viewers off guard. By the time Dandadan Season 2 arrived, expectations were sky-high, and somehow, the anime still exceeded them.

Now, fans finally have news about what comes next. Dandadan Season 3 has been confirmed to begin broadcasting in 2027, putting an official window on the long-awaited continuation of Momo Ayase and Ken “Okarun” Takakura’s bizarre journey.

According to a reliable source, we know that Dandadan Season 3 will be released in 2027. While the production house has not given any further information on the release date, fans should rest assured that it will make a comeback and live upto audiences' expectations.

The announcement arrived shortly after Season 2 wrapped up, easing fears that fans would be left in the dark for months. Still, a 2027 release means a noticeably longer wait compared to the unusually short gap between Seasons 1 and 2, which aired just seven months apart. That shorter gap, however, was the exception, not the rule.


Fan reaction: Fandom is impatient yet understanding

Despite knowing that everyone will have to wait for a year before they get to see their beloved series continue, the fandom has been split into two divisions. Some of them are understanding that production takes time, especially for an anime like Dandadan, which requires near-perfect animation. Others feel like the wait is too long, and it could mean that the hype around the show might die down. Some popular comments on social media that capture this sentiment are:

"WHAT!???? WHY 2027!???? A whole year without new season of dandadan," said one fan
"That is kind of dumb making people wait 2 years that's a good way to lose some fans because they'll forget about the show," stated a netizen.
"Thank god.. Please take your time science saru" added another fan.

For now, while it is established that there is going to be a longer wait than anticipated, fans have an option to pick up the manga, which is digitally available on Shueisha Manga Plus and Viz Media. Meanwhile, this show can be re-watched on multiple streaming platforms like Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu.


Why Science SARU is taking its time with Dandadan Season 3

Science Saru taking a longer gap between seasons has caught fans' attention because the previous seasons followed a back-to-back schedule. On the other hand, Dandadan Season 3 will have to take more time because this time they will have to work from scratch in comparison to Season 1 and 2, where most of the animation was worked on simultaneously.

Moreover, we also know that Science SARU has taken on other major projects, including its upcoming Ghost in the Shell anime scheduled for 2026. This would mean that if they choose to rush into Dandadan Season 3, it would risk compromising the fluid animation and bold visual style that made the series stand out in the first place.
