Animated by Science Saru, Dandadan looks like a visual feast, and this new trailer shows how detailed the studio has been with its animation. The anime is filled with bright colors, and its almost surreal designs suit Dandadan perfectly. It is hard to imagine another studio doing Yukinobu’s series justice like this, and that is just the magic of Science Saru.
If you are excited to see Dandadan, the hit anime will make a special debut in U.S. theaters before its TV anime goes live. GKIDS will bring Dandadan: First Encounter to theaters on September 13, and the special movie event will combine the first four episodes of season one for fans. Then in October, the TV anime will go live globally. Dandadan will be streaming everywhere from Netflix to Hulu and Crunchyroll. So for those wanting to know more about Dandadan, you can read up on its official synopsis below for all the details:
“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?”
