With popular Shonen series like Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia already over, the new-gen Shonen series Dandadan could be the last salvation for this genre in the fandom. Moreover, this matter would be decided after the premiere of the series' anime on October 3, 2024, and how its reception goes before the fandom.
However, with the buzz of the series all over the internet even before the series premiere, Dandadan already looks to have a bright path ahead. Additionally, the fandom's views on the series are proof. While the fandom does admit the Fall 2024 anime series is quite different from the average Shonen series, it delivers every part and the fans can expect good things from it in the future.

Why Dandadan is the new gen Shonen series
Dandadan is a shonen anime series animated by the animation studio Science Saru (Heike Monogatari). The series follows the story of two high school students who discover the legitimacy of the occult in a dangerous way that could attach them to the supernatural for the rest of their lives.
Even though the episode is yet to be released, the series is one of the most popular Fall 2024 anime, with the fans of its source, manga series, hyping it up. Moreover, the timing of this anime's release could be crucial to making or breaking its popularity.
This could be due to the recent climax of Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia and after watching the anime series, a part of the fandom could opt for it and Dandadan could become the next face of shonen in the future.
Reactions from the fandom
The fandom was adamant about the success of this Fall 2024 anime and the manga fandom backed the claims by stating that the series could be the predecessor of shonen giants like Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia, even though its story is indeed not for the weak of hearts.
As the series is a supernatural genre, it features supernatural creatures like ghosts and aliens. Despite being weird in its own way, its constructive writing makes it one of a kind. So, anime is something every genre enjoyed would be interested in partaking in.
"People who are craving Shonen action after Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia, Danda Dan is for you! Don't miss the premiere" a fan said
"It might strike first as a wtf series, but it is the new gen of Shounen with a lot of potential" another fan said
"Get ready for something weirder than your wildest dreams!" another fan claimed
"Danda Dan is a seriously underrated manga and this is your sign to check it out. Wacky, interesting characters and monsters, tear-jerking backstories, sappy romance, awesome action sequences. The anime is coming soon and looks AMAZING, jump on the bandwagon now!" another one said
Final thoughts
As one fan already stated, the plotline of this Fall 2024 anime might be a little too weird for people who enjoy normal Shonen series like One Piece. However, the plotline resembles that of Chainsaw Man and this could make the series generational if Science SARU and the anime's production team do justice to the anime, in animation and storytelling.
