Dan Da Dan Season 2 is finally here, and it is wasting no time making an impression. With the first episode now streaming on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu, the season also revealed its full opening and ending sequences without credits, giving fans a better look at the anime’s updated visual style and its musical collaborations. These songs are not just catchy additions to the series. They serve as emotional and atmospheric anchors for what’s shaping up to be another bold and unpredictable arc in the story.


The opening theme is titled “On The Way,” performed by AiNA THE END. Her voice, known for its raw power and textured emotional depth, fits right into the kinetic pace and supernatural chaos of the series. The animation accompanying the song features a barrage of scenes packed with action, mystery, and fleeting character shots, suggesting that the stakes are rising even further in this season.

Complementing the intensity of the opening is the ending theme “Doukashiteru” by WurtS, a music act that continues to blur the lines between alternative pop and electronic experimentation. The ending visuals are softer, more melancholic, and offer a moment of breath as they focus more on character emotions, relationships, and quiet reflections. The juxtaposition between the high energy intro and the contemplative outro makes for a well balanced emotional rhythm as each episode closes.

Dan Da Dan is among the sixteen returning anime sequels airing this season, and the anticipation around it has only grown with its simultaneous release of English dubbed episodes on Hulu. This same day international accessibility points to how quickly the franchise has built a loyal fan base worldwide. The series already aired new trailers recently to build up excitement and now it’s backing that up with immediate substance.

Behind the scenes, Hiroshi Seko returns as the head of series composition, while Naoyuki Onda brings his seasoned skills as the character designer. This season also introduces co director Abel Góngora, who joins Fuga Yamashiro, creating a dynamic directing team aimed at pushing the boundaries of animation and story pacing.

The Japanese voice cast is led by Shion Wakayama as Momo Ayase and Natsuki Hanae as Ken Takakura, also known as Okarun. They are joined by legendary voices like Nana Mizuki, Mayumi Tanaka, and Kazuya Nakai, each adding texture to the otherworldly and often unpredictable cast of characters. The English voice cast, featuring Abby Trott, AJ Beckles, and Aleks Le, continues to earn praise for making the show feel authentic across both languages.

Dan Da Dan originally began as a manga by Yukinobu Tatsu, serialized on Shonen Jump+ since 2021. With nineteen volumes already published and the twentieth scheduled for release in Japan on July 4, the story has built a dedicated following that spans print and digital readers alike. The series mixes spiritual folklore with alien conspiracies, high school friendships with dark curses, and comedy with sudden bursts of emotional gravity. It follows Momo Ayase and her classmate Ken as their world spins out of control after a paranormal dare takes a disastrous turn.

Season 2 seems determined to up the ante in every possible way. From the soundtrack to the animation, from character growth to battle sequences, Dan Da Dan is shaping up to be one of the most talked about sequels this anime season.
