DAN DA DAN Season 2 has officially reached its halfway milestone, and to celebrate, the creators have released a high-energy music video that is already thrilling fans. The video features none other than Marc Hudson, the powerhouse lead vocalist of British power metal band DragonForce, lending his voice to a fictional character from the show. Hudson voices Toshiro, the lead singer of the in-universe band HAYASii, who appears in Episode 6 of the current season.
The track, which plays during a central performance scene, brings a heavy dose of rock-and-roll chaos to the already unpredictable world of DAN DA DAN. Marc Hudson’s signature vocals add another layer of intensity and fun, giving fans a moment that blends music and anime in a wildly entertaining way. The song and animation are fully integrated into the show’s storytelling, pushing the momentum of Season 2 even higher as it gears up for the next batch of episodes.
DAN DA DAN continues to ride high as one of the top-ranked anime of Summer 2025. Voted the most anticipated series of the season, it has consistently held strong viewer ratings, thanks to its unique mix of supernatural action, outrageous comedy, and romantic awkwardness. The halfway mark has become more than just a turning point in the story it’s also a celebration of how far the series has come and how fiercely it’s resonating with fans.
In even more good news for international viewers, DAN DA DAN is set to return to Anime NYC later this month. The event will feature a special panel including series producer Hiroshi Kamei, along with English voice actors AJ Beckles (Okarun), Abby Trott (Momo), Aleks Le (Jiji), and Lisa Reimold (Aira). With this panel and the new music video, the series is maintaining its full-throttle pace, both on-screen and off.
The manga behind the anime, created by Yukinobu Tatsu, continues to soar in popularity. Since launching on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ in 2021, it has already surpassed 10 million copies in circulation across twenty published volumes. The anime’s second season only continues to fuel that momentum, bringing the manga’s bizarre charm and kinetic visuals to an even wider global audience.
Whether you are here for the ghosts, aliens, awkward romance, or now metal vocals from Marc Hudson, DAN DA DAN proves it can deliver surprises from every angle.
