After today’s season finale, it has been confirmed that this year’s critically acclaimed, genre-defying anime series Dan Da Dan will return for Season 2 on Crunchyroll in July 2025 for the summer anime season. The second season will launch into a new chapter following the shocking cliffhanger that capped off the first season.
The newly unveiled Season 2 announcement visual captures a sense of tension and unease, while the ominous presence of Evil Eye, fixated on Jiji standing at the center, commands attention with its unsettling gaze. The deep purple hues that fill the background heighten the anticipation of the intense and merciless battles that await Momo, Okarun, Jiji and Turbo Granny. Adding to the intrigue, the artwork features portraits of renowned classical composers and a small kaiju, hinting at the bizarre and unpredictable adventures still to come.
Check out the new teaser visual below.
S1 Synopsis: Momo, a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult geek, become acquainted after Momo rescues Okarun from getting bullied. However, an argument ensues between them: Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts. To make each other believe in what they denied the existence of, Momo goes to an abandoned hospital known for its UFO sightings, and Okarun goes to a tunnel that is said to be haunted. In each place, they encounter overwhelming paranormal entities that defy comprehension. Amid trouble, Momo awakens her hidden power and Okarun gains the power of a curse to challenge the paranormal entities! Could this be the start of a fateful romance as well!?
