Dandadan Season 2 unleashes the Evil Eye: Here's what to expect from the anime's darkest arc

Source: Crunchyroll The goofy, unhinged chaos of Season 1? Yeah, put that in a haunted box and seal it with a talisman because Season 2 has entered full horror 1 dropped on 3 July, and the rest of the season is coming every Thursday on Crunchyroll (with Netflix and Hulu doing their thing in select regions). So, cancel your Thursday plans—or don't, but prepare to be haunted either way. Dandadan season 2 darkest arc explained Dandadan season 2 'Evil Eye arc' Say goodbye to chasing aliens in your undies and hello to full-blown possession, bloody eyes, and 'why is the room spinning' levels of fear. This season's big bad is the Evil Eye—a demon thingy with a serious anger issue and the fashion sense of a horror movie monster. It sets its sights on poor Jiji (sweet, clueless Jiji), who ends up looking like he went 10 rounds with The Ring and lost. We're talking rage fits, glowing orbs of doom, and family secrets that make Turbo Granny look wholesome. Dandadan season 2 'The Cursed House arc' So, Jiji invites Momo and Okarun to his totally normal house. Except… surprise! The house is bigger on the inside, smells like a haunted doll shop, and may or may not want to eat them. Weird rooms that shift. Talismans peeling off the walls. And don't get me started on that shrine in the attic. Honestly, if Scooby-Doo had trauma, it'd be this arc. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You Won't Believe the Price of These Dubai Apartments Binghatti Developers FZE Get Offer Undo But oh, the animation. Science SARU went feral in the best way—fighting scenes switch between black and white and full-colour chaos depending on who's winning, losing, or getting emotionally obliterated. Where to watch Dandadan season 2 New episodes drop every Thursday, so lock in your Crunchyroll logins. Netflix and Hulu are streaming it in selected regions, too. Also, in a dramatic move, the first three episodes came out as a film (Dandadan: Evil Eye) in theatres. Dandadan season 2 new opening song Gone are the funky, chaotic OPs of Season 1. Now we've got 'On The Way' by AiNA THE END, and it is giving: melancholy ballet in a ghost town. Fans are divided. Half are weeping into their pillows, the other half are like, 'Where's the chaos??' But visually? It slaps. Silhouettes. Symbolism. Hidden references. You blink, you miss like five layers of trauma. Who is back in Dandadan season 2 Source: IMDB The original voice cast returns, still screaming, fighting, and flirting their way through paranormal hell: Momo = still the queen of exorcisms Okarun = still giving alien‑boyfriend energy Jiji = now the host for an actual demon Turbo Granny = still doing too much, and we love her for it Science SARU's also back, and they're clearly unhinged in the best way possible. Bless. Final thoughts : Why you should watch Dandadan season 2 Source: IMDB Season 1 gave us vibes. Season 2 is giving vibes with consequences. It's creepy, chaotic, emotional, and weird in a way only Dandadan can pull not just ghosts anymore. It's guilt. It's trauma. It's possession with a side of "are we still friends after that demon attacked us?"The relationships deepen. The tension thickens. The jump scares? They're not cheap—they're earned. And somehow, through all the horror, it still makes you laugh. Dandadan has that effect. Next episode drops this Thursday—don't say I didn't warn you.
