Dandadan [Season 2]

Dandadan Season 2: The Wildest Supernatural Trip You’ll Take This Summer

If you’ve been scrolling through anime forums lately, you’ve probably seen the chaos: caps-lock rants about “atrocious cliffhangers,” memes about “grabbing sum ballzzzz,” and enough fire emojis to power a small sun. That’s the hype around Dandadan Season 2—the supernatural rollercoaster from Science SARU that’s blowing up 2025’s summer lineup. And let’s be real: after last season’s mind-bending finale, we’ve all been frothing at the mouth for more.

First off, let’s get the deets straight. Season 2 drops July 4 for Japanese viewers (Fridays at 12:26 AM JST, if you’re setting alarms) and streams globally on Crunchyroll and Netflix—same as before. But here’s the tea: if you’re impatient (guilty), there’s a DAN DA DAN: EVIL EYE theatrical event hitting screens first. It’s basically a cheat code—screening last season’s EVIL EYE arc start plus the first three new episodes! Catch it in Asia May 30, North America June 6, or Europe June 7. Fans are losing it over this: “bruhh can they just release it now?” one MyAnimeList user begged. Relatable.

Now, why is this show such a big deal? Let’s talk about the vibe. Dandadan isn’t your average supernatural anime. It’s like if Stranger Things and Mob Psycho 100 had a love child who binged UFO documentaries and ghost stories. The first season hooked us with Okarun (the UFO-obsessed nerd) and Momo (the telepathic badass) teaming up to fight everything from aliens to curses. The mix of horror, humor, and heart is chef’s kiss—and Science SARU’s animation? Chef’s kiss squared. Their trippy, fluid style turns every fight scene into a visual feast. Remember that time Okarun’s head turned into a giant eye? Yeah, that’s the energy we’re here for.

But the real star? The characters. Okarun and Momo’s friendship is the glue holding this chaos together. They’re not just “partners”—they’re the kind of duo who’d punch a ghost and then argue about boba flavors. Fans gush about their dynamic: “one of my favs ❤🔥 can’t wait for it,” says one MAL user. And let’s not forget the side characters—like the pervy ghost Turbo Granny or the alien prince who’s low-key a dork. They add so much personality, it’s impossible not to love ’em.

Season 2 promises to crank everything up to 11. The MAL discussions are buzzing about the “diabolical” cliffhanger that left Okarun and Momo in a tight spot. What’s next? More curses? Bigger aliens? Maybe even a deeper dive into their pasts? We don’t know, but we’re here for the ride. One fan summed it up perfectly: “ON OUR WAY TO GRAB SUM BALLLLLZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!” (No, we don’t know what that means either, but the excitement is palpable.)

If you’re new to the hype, here’s your sign to catch up. Dandadan isn’t just another anime—it’s a cultural moment. It’s the show you’ll stay up till 2 AM binging, then text your friends about at 3 AM: “Did you see that scene?!” It’s the kind of series that makes you believe in UFOs (maybe) and root for the underdogs (definitely).

So mark those calendars, set those reminders, and get ready to scream at your screen. Dandadan Season 2 isn’t just a sequel—it’s the summer anime event we’ve all been waiting for. And if the fan reactions are any clue? It’s gonna be legendary.

LET’S GOOOOOO, indeed. 👾💥🔥
