Shortly after its announcement a couple of days ago, DAN DA DAN Season 2 now has a teaser trailer as well. The preview of the current arc’s continuation includes a look at the origins of the being that’s haunting Jiji, as well as what seems to be a possessed and transformed Jiji..
The credits reveal that series director Fuga Yamashiro is co-directing the second season with Abel Gongora, who storyboarded and directed Season 1’s opening animation.
DAN DA DAN Season 2 is set to premiere in July 2025, with Netflix and Crunchyroll confirmed to be streaming it. Season 1 aired during the Fall 2024 anime season. The anime adapts the Shueisha-published sci-fi occult manga by Yukinobu Tatsu, which debuted on Shonen Jump+ in 2021 and has 17 tankoubon volumes as of November 2024.
Viz Media describes the manga as:
Momo Ayase strikes up an unusual friendship with her school’s UFO fanatic, whom she nicknames “Okarun” because he has a name that is not to be said aloud. While Momo believes in spirits, she thinks aliens are nothing but nonsense. Her new friend, meanwhile, thinks the exact opposite. To settle matters, the two set out to prove each other wrong—Momo to a UFO hotspot and Okarun to a haunted tunnel! What unfolds next is a beautiful story of young love…and oddly horny aliens and spirits?
