DAN DA DAN Opening and Ending Animations Now Available
LOS ANGELES, Calif., Oct 3, 2024 – Today, Mainichi Broadcasting System Inc. released the official opening and ending animation segments for DAN DA DAN following the anime's highly anticipated release.
The opening is a frenetic visual adventure that draws viewers into DAN DA DAN's world of supernatural aliens, occult creatures, and charming characters. The bold color palettes and shifting visual styles, embellished by Creepy Nuts' “Otonoke” set the tone for this madcap, paranormal romp. Realistically depicted locations and Creepy Nuts' pulsing track combine to create a truly immersive visual experience, drawing the viewer into the universe of DAN DA DAN.
The ending contrasts this opening by offering a unique look into the whimsical daily life of a Maneki-neko and her daily adventures. Struggling with overly strong wind from a hairdryer, adopting a kitten of her own, jamming out to music, dancing, or failing at cooking, everything about this adorable cat is just a little bit extra as it goes about its surprisingly human-like life. These hijinks are further enhanced by ZUTOMAYO's peppy tune “TAIDADA”.

ABOUT DAN DA DAN:
DAN DA DAN follows Momo, a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and her
classmate Okarun, an occult geek. The two of them started talking after Momo rescued Okarun from getting bullied. However, an argument ensues between them – Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts. To make each other believe in what they denied the existence of, Momo goes to an abandoned hospital known for its UFO sightings, and Okarun goes to a tunnel that is said to be haunted. In each place, they encounter overwhelming paranormal entities that defy comprehension. Amid trouble, Momo awakens her hidden power and Okarun gains the power of a curse to challenge the paranormal entities! Could this be the start of a fateful romance as well!?
Now begins a new story of occult battles and adolescence!
Based on the popular 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. The directorial debut from Fūga Yamashiro is 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).
