Dan Da Dan became a sensation when the anime series arrived in America. People couldn’t get enough of a mismatched teenage couple. Okarun believes in UFOs and aliens. Momo is all about ghosts and witchcraft. While they attempt to disprove each other’s belief, they quickly learn that they can both be right…in a scary way. Dan Da Dan Season 2 (Collector’s Edition) is now coming out on Blu-ray in July with another 12 episodes of supernatural and extraterrestrial scares. Here’s the press release from GKIDS:

DAN DA DAN SEASON 2 is available now for pre-order on Gruv, GKIDS and Amazon.
Since its debut, DAN DA DAN has become one of the most celebrated anime series in years — a cultural phenomenon that swept streaming platforms, dominated top 10 charts on Netflix globally, and earned a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes upon its Season 2 premiere. Season 2 was met with widespread critical acclaim, with reviewers praising Science SARU’s breathtaking animation, pulse-pounding action sequences, and the series’ rare ability to balance supernatural chaos with genuine emotional depth.
The battle of the occult rages on in DAN DA DAN SEASON 2! Momo and Okarun set out on their latest adventure, traveling to a hot springs town with Jiji, Momo’s childhood friend and former crush, with the goal of solving the mystery surrounding his family and the house they rented there. When they arrive, strange locals derail their investigation before it can properly begin, and the group soon learns there’s more lurking under the surface of the town than they could have possibly imagined.
Based on the hit manga by Yukinobu Tatsu, DAN DA DAN is an electrifying, action-packed love letter to sci-fi and horror with the heart of a ruthlessly funny teen rom-com. In Season 2, co-directors Fuga Yamashiro and Abel Gongora bring fans a new story in the latest series from cutting-edge animation studio Science SARU (The Colors Within, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off) with pulse-pounding original music from kensuke ushio (Chainsaw Man).
