A brand new anime season is just around the corner, and this time, it's delivering the horror, action, mystery – with a twist – vibe. If you're new to anime, Dandadan will be the one to convince you otherwise. Dandadan is the smash hit Japanese comic that leaps from sci-fi to comedy to horror to supernatural high school drama all in one nuts story. It centers around the misadventures of two high schoolers—Momo Ayase and Okarun—who join forces to defeat alien invaders, vengeful spirits, and malevolent haunts. Just imagine if Stranger Things crossed over with Ghostbusters and infused with all the coolest anime weirdness. Produced by Yukinobu Tatsu and animated by Science SARU, Dandadan sparked a rabid fandom after its 2024 debut, becoming the king of that season's hits. Like the first film, it received accolades for its stunning visuals, larger-than-life action sequences and unexpectedly emotional story. After successfully crowdfunding for Season 1 in late 2022, the show is ready to up the ante this go-round with their creepiest antagonist yet—the Evil Eye. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Dandadan season 2 premieres july 2025: Here's what to expect The second season of Dandadan is now officially scheduled to be released in July 2025. Eager fans in the US can catch a theatrical preview thanks in no small part to a new cinematic-style film release called Dandadan: Evil Eye, arriving in theaters June 6. The film will feature special appearances by stars and an exclusive sneak preview of the first three episodes of the new season, providing viewers with a terrifying look at the next big arc to come. Expect ghastly ghosts, extreme warfare, and a twisty new origins story that will forever alter our perception of the series' most feared fiends. The evil eye: Dandadan's scariest villain yet Anime fans, look no further—this new foe is no ordinary specter. The Evil Eye, the dark spirit that's been pursuing Jin Enjoji, a best friend of Momo. Ever since Jin and his family moved into an unusual magical mountain dwelling, Jin had been cursed by a vengeful spirit that, over the years, completely wrecked his life. His parents became ill, spirit mediums died in an effort to cure him, no one believed him until now. Season 2 will dive deep into the backstory of this nightmarish apparition. From the trailer, we learn that the Evil Eye isn't evil for the hell of it. He was an actual human child, killed by burning alive in a bizarre ceremony. His hatred for humanity was born out of pain, instead of hatred being the source of pain. One of the trailer's most intense scenes has a young boy strapped to a wooden stake with lava flowing in his direction. A second cuts to Jin, telling someone else, 'He's been in pain all this time.' Not even Jin's trusty guardian—Turbo Granny—a hilarious, yet foul-mouthed spirit—who guides the gang—can save Jin from falling for Evil Eye's devious tricks. Sadly, it looks like he does, and he suffers. Dan Da Dan: Evil eye movie hints at major twists The Evil Eye movie preview isn't just scary—it's chic. The animation is beautiful, though a seamless combination of scary and funny, with epic battles flush with cherry-colored explosions and detailed, fast-moving visuals. It's all leading up to plenty of martial arts battles, creepy cults (such as the Kito family), and even kaiju-style monsters that should make the world of Onimusha pop on-screen. The blinding ambient terror During its half-hour introduction, the film drowns us in these threats, exploring two pervasive threats: the Evil Eye and a giant blinding worm monster. The Kito cult is presented – a race of yellow-eyed killers who engage in gruesome human sacrifices. It's bizarre, trippy, and more than anything proves that Dandadan isn't afraid to go to some grotesque places. At its core, the story is really about friendship and saving one another. Momo, Okarun, and Turbo Granny struggle to save Jin before he succumbs completely to the vengeful spirit raging within him. Will Dandadan season 2 be bigger than season 1? If the Evil Eye arc is an indication, Season 2 is going to be bolder, scarier, and more heartbreaking than ever. The show is definitely leaning more into horror this season while still retaining its playful spirit and breakneck speed. So much so that even its critics are dubbing it one of the most exciting anime of the year. From the animation studio behind it, Science SARU, well-known in the industry for taking creative risks and it shows. Impact frames, glowing visuals, meme-worthy shots, anime-style comedy—all of this combined seamlessly into something truly special. Aside from some pacing problems caused by an extended recap and a 10-minute postscript interview, the film holds together well. Once it gets going, it serves as a great reminder to all of why Dandadan got so popular in the first place.
