The
surprises just keep coming for "Dandadan" fans! We recently told you in another piece that the anime's second season
will premiere in Summer 2025 (between July and September), and that Abel
Góngora, a talented Spanish animator, is joining the project as the second
director. We also saw a stunning key visual that showed us Momo, Okarun, and
even the legendary Turbo Grandma in action.
Well, now
the news keeps coming. The first official promotional video for the new
season has just been released, and honestly, it looks spectacular! In
this new trailer, we can see that mysterious guy in his underwear (yes, the one
we mentioned earlier, called Evil Eye) moving around, saying things like,
"I finally got a body," making it clear that he's going to be a
serious problem for the team.
Plus, a
strange creature with a huge mouth appears, clearly not coming in peace. The
trailer shows how these beings begin attacking Momo, Okarun, Gigi, and Turbo
Grandma, with scenes full of tension and lots of paranormal action. It's going
to be awesome!
As a
reminder, the second season launches on July 3rd, airing on the Super Animeism
TURBO block on MBS, TBS, and 28 other networks in Japan (and will obviously
also be available on international streaming services). And if you want to refresh
your memory, the first season is already streaming on the Animeism B2 block on
MBS, TBS, and BS-TBS, so it's the perfect time to binge-watch before the new
batch of episodes arrives.
With
everything coming up, it looks like Dandadan is going to get even crazier and
funnier, so if you got hooked on the first season... get ready because the best
is yet to come.
