The good people from streaming giant Crunchyroll sent us the details about Dandadan coming to Crunchyroll. The anime version will be adapted by Science SARU, who also recently made Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! and Tatami Time Machine Blues.
The quirky nature of the manga made it a perfect fit for the type of programming that Science SARU typically creates, it felt like a natural match.
The series will hit the streaming service this year October 2024. Interestingly, Crunchyroll calls it Dan Da Dan, while manga publisher Viz has localized it as Dandadan (no spaces ).
You can watch the official subtitled trailer on YouTube.
We are really looking forward to this series because Science SARU always produces such amazing anime.
