By Josh PiedraJune 25, 2024

This week, Mainichi Broadcasting System (MBS) announced that GKIDS, the Academy Award®-winning producer and distributor of artist-driven and award-winning animation, will release DAN DA DAN in North American theaters nationwide. In true fashion of the highly anticipated sci-fi and occult centered work, the theatrical release for the upcoming series will begin on Friday, September 13th. The theatrical premiere of DAN DA DAN, released under the moniker “DAN DA DAN: First Encounter” will feature the first three episodes of the series.

DAN DA DAN

Ahead of the series’ theatrical debut, the first episode of DAN DA DAN will premiere on July 6th at this year’s Anime Expo in Los Angeles.

With production from the acclaimed animation studio Science SARU (DEVILMAN crybaby, INU-OH, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, The Colors Within), the series is the directorial debut of studio veteran Fuga Yamashiro (Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, The Heike Story). Composer kensuke ushio (Chainsaw Man, DEVILMAN crybaby, The Colors Within) additionally joins the production for the score. The series is a television adaptation of author Yukinobu Tatsu’s manga of the same name, which is currently serialized in the wildly popular “Shonen Jump Plus” BY SHUEISHA, under the globally beloved Shonen Jump imprint. Yukinobu Tatsu, the author, previously worked as an assistant to Tatsuki Fujimoto on his global hit series “Chainsaw Man” and “Fire Punch,” and Yuji Kaku on “Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku.”

Conceived as a love letter to genre film, B-movies, and retro sci-fi works, DAN DA DAN follows the story of a high school girl named Momo who is from a family of spirit mediums, and Okarun, a high school boy who is an occult freak. As the two compete to disprove the existence of the other’s passion, they get caught up in an encounter of both the spiritual and paranormal, imbuing both teenagers with powers beyond belief.
