The highly anticipated anime adaptation of DAN DA DAN has premiered, and Episode 1 is now streaming on Crunchyroll, both subtitled and dubbed in English. New episodes will be released every Thursday at 9:00 AM PT (8:00 AM PT after daylight saving time ends), so mark your calendars for a weekly dose of otherworldly excitement.
A Tale of Ghosts, Aliens, and Unexpected Partnerships
DAN DA DAN follows the unusual pairing of high school students Momo Ayase and Okarun. Momo believes in ghosts but is skeptical about aliens, while Okarun is an occult enthusiast who holds the opposite beliefs. Their conflicting views are turned upside down when they both discover that ghosts and aliens are, in fact, real. An encounter with these phenomena grants Momo psychic powers and leaves Okarun cursed. Together, they embark on a journey to confront these bizarre forces, leading to action-packed and often humorous adventures as they strive to protect their world.
Since its serialization began in Shueisha’s Shōnen Jump+ app in April 2021, DAN DA DAN has gained significant popularity. The anime adaptation by Science Saru brings to life the dynamic relationship between Momo and Okarun. Alongside friends, family, and new acquaintances, they battle spirits and aliens, all while navigating their developing romantic feelings.

Musical Delights to Enhance the Experience
Enhancing the supernatural vibe of the series are its opening and ending theme songs. The opening theme, “Otonoke” performed by Creepy Nuts, sets the tone with its eerie yet catchy melody. The ending theme, “TAIDADA” by ZUTOMAYO, provides a perfect conclusion to each episode. Fans can enjoy the creditless versions of both songs, which are now available to watch.
