The announcement was made alongside the release of a new trailer, which is currently only available in Japanese. The trailer shows Momo and Okarun dealing with a host of new threats, including a terrifying humanoid villain with a large, glowing eye on his forehead. It also shows various other aliens and spirits, some new and some returning from the first season, and a touching hug between the two main characters.
An official release date in the US has not yet been announced, but it's likely that, like the first season, the second season of Dan Da Dan will air simultaneously via Crunchyroll and Netflix in most regions outside of Japan. In Japan, it will air on all MBS/TBS affiliated stations at 12:26am starting on July 3.
Dan Da Dan is a wild sci-fi and coming of age story about two teens — Momo, a girl who believed in ghosts but not aliens, and Okarun, a boy who believed in aliens but not ghosts. A chance encounter with both ghosts and aliens bound their fate together, and the two came to develop feelings for one another.
The series is being produced by Science Saru, which previously worked on anime series like Devilman Crybaby, Star Wars Visions, and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and it's been praised by fans and critics alike for its stunning production values, touching storytelling, and masterful animation.

Woman Wonders What Her Dogs Do Home Alone—Can't Cope With Petcam Footage
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Wondering what her pups were up to while she was out, a dog owner decided to check her pet-cam, but she was not prepared for what she found them doing. The hilarious footage, shared on TikTok on Wednesday under the username @frantb3, shows the mischievous duo engaging in a fight over who gets to play with a piece of underwear they stole from their owner. "Me: [I wonder] what the girls are doing right now. The girls," reads layover text in the clip. It is not uncommon for dogs to show interest in their owner's clothing items, socks, and shoes, including smelly used ones. But a Dogster article medically reviewed by Dr. Amanda Charles says that they have their reasons. When your dog steals the stuff you wear, it is because it smells of you and they love your scent, so you should really be flattered rather than angry. It could also be that they are smelling something of interest, like food crumbs stuck in your socks. However, the dog might also be acting out of boredom, using destructive behavior as a coping mechanism. Dr. Jess Kirk says in a Vet Explains Pets article that there could also be a medical condition behind it, known as pica, characterized by a compulsive urge to eat nonfood items. Playing with your clothes is not only inconvenient to you, but it can also become dangerous for your pup if they accidentally ingest them, because it can lead to gastrointestinal obstructions. To make sure your pup doesn't get hold of any of your items, avoid leaving clothing lying around in the house and keep wardrobes and drawers closed. Stock image: Two small dogs play in a room.

One user, Yuadi Santander, commented: "One time I saw my dogs wearing a boxer, and it belonged to the neighbor's son. I don't know how it ended up in my yard, and the dogs kept stretching and stretching, and the poor little boy kept yelling, 'Nooooo!" GC Yazmin posted: "Mine were wearing my underwear on the street, between my three dogs. I was coming back from the store, so embarrassed because my husband was chasing them, wanting to take them off, because they were his favorites." Vi wrote: "They are checking the elastic, don't worry. They will last a thousand more times." Newsweek reached out to @frantb3 for comment via TikTok comments.

Hysterics at How Dachshund Reacts to Being Told 'No'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Florida-based dachshund has gained viral attention on Instagram for his over-the-top response to a simple word: "No." In a lighthearted video shared to the platform on May 4 under @moo_in_miami, the small dog named Moo was captured sitting on a couch, repeatedly whining and growling in a high-pitched, almost comical, tone after being told "no" by his unseen owner. The video, captioned "he really said, 'that's cute, try again,'" quickly ignited reactions online from pet owners who could relate to the bout of canine pushback, and has since been liked more than 1 million times. An overlaid text on the video read: "POV: [Point of view] You told your dachshund no." The dog's animated expressions and indignant vocalizations have struck a chord with viewers on Instagram, many of whom said they were left in hysterics by Moo's dramatic protest. Moo's particular reaction also highlights something deeper—and familiar—for anyone who has spent time with a dachshund: stubbornness seems to be part of the lovable breed's DNA. Bred in Germany centuries ago to hunt badgers, dachshunds were designed to be persistent and fearless. Their long bodies and short legs made them ideal for burrowing, but their real strength lies in their temperament. Dachshunds are notoriously determined and vocal, often pushing boundaries and asserting their will in surprisingly bold ways for their size. Moo's hilarious response to being told off is a textbook example of this temperament. While some dog breeds are known for obedience or calm demeanor, dachshunds have cultivated a reputation for being assertive, sometimes to the point of comedy. Owners often describe them as possessing the mindset of a much larger animal, unafraid to stand their ground—especially when they feel slighted. Commenters have shared their own dachshund tales, with one writing: "Dachshunds and the word NO do not compute." "I'm getting dachshund in 8 weeks can't wait," another viewer said, while another added: "Dachshunds will argue with you with such stubbornness until you give in because there's nothing is as stubborn in this world as a dachshund who wants something." "They run the house you know," another said. Newsweek reached out to @moo_in_miami for more information via Instagram. A stock image of a black and tan dachshund on a carpet.

Scientists Make World's Smallest Violin
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Scientists in the United Kingdom have made what may be the world's smallest violin, using advanced nanotechnology. The microscopic instrument, measuring 35 by 13 microns, and constructed from platinum, is less than the width of a human hair, said Loughborough University researchers. Why It Matters The tiny violin was created to demonstrate the accuracy and versatility of a state-of-the-art nanolithography system. Kelly Morrison, the head of Loughborough University's Physics Department, said the system would allow scientists "to design experiments that probe materials in different ways—using light, magnetism, or electricity—and observe their responses." Scientists said the technology could accelerate breakthroughs in sectors such as computing and energy, allowing researchers to build and study materials at the smallest scale. The 'world's smallest violin' created by Loughborough University physicists. The 'world's smallest violin' created by Loughborough University physicists. Loughborough University What To Know The miniature violin was made using a NanoFrazor, a system that employs thermal scanning probe lithography. This technique uses a heated, needlelike tip to sculpt material at nanometer precision. According to the university's press release, the process began with a chip being covered in two layers a gel-like material. The pattern was then etched, washed and coated in platinum, then cleaned again to show the final form. Each violin took about three hours to produce after the fabrication sequence was determined, but it took months of development. The violin, which is only an image at microscopic scale, cannot produce sound. The institution said the violin had not been officially confirmed as the world's smallest, though it is smaller than the diameter of a human hair, which typically measures 17 to 180 microns (a micron is a millionth of a meter). Research projects using the nanolithography system to investigate applications—such as developing energy-efficient and faster data storage by combining advanced materials and nanoparticles—are underway at the university. Other research explores quantum materials to make next-generation memory devices smaller, faster and more reliable, and the nanolithography system helps to produce accurate test structures. The team said the knowledge gained from the violin process was vital for these advances. The expression "world's smallest violin" is often used to mock exaggerated complaints. It is believed to have originated in a 1978 episode of M*A*S*H when Major Margaret Houlihan, rubbing her thumb and forefinger together, said: "It's the world's smallest violin, and it's playing just for you," According to ClassicFM.

Loughborough University What People Are Saying Kelly Morrison, the head of Loughborough University's Physics Department, said in a press release: "Though creating the world's smallest violin may seem like fun and games, a lot of what we've learned in the process has actually laid the groundwork for the research we're now undertaking." She added: "I'm really excited about the level of control and possibilities we have with the setup. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can achieve—but also what everyone else can do with the system." What Happens Next The researchers plan to use the experience and protocols established during this project in ongoing work on data storage and quantum material studies, furthering research into advanced computing technologies.
