Dandadan X Persona 4 Opening remix is making life "worth living" for fans

The Dandadan anime is currently one of the most popular anime on the planet due to its rather eccentric and deeply intriguing story involving both Yokai and aliens. While the anime itself continues to impress audiences, the opening visuals have remained one of the series' most iconic aspects.

The Persona video game series, which has maintained an equally dedicated fandom due to its eccentric story and iconic visuals, has recently experienced a resurgence thanks to a remix of the anime's opening.

This remix, which replaces the characters of Yukinobu Tatsu's manga with characters from the Persona series, has become a hot topic of discussion within both fandoms, with many citing it as a reason to keep going.

Dandadan X Persona 4 opening remix marks another milestone for the anime's iconic visuals

The adaptation of Yukinobu Tatsu's manga made its debut on October 4, 2024, as part of the Fall 2024 anime season. While the anime itself has carved a huge fan following due to its rather eccentric storytelling, its opening song, along with the opening visuals, has gathered its own separate fanbase.

Persona is yet another series that boasts similar strengths, be it the eccentric and memorable characters or its iconic visual flair. The Dandadan X Persona 4 remix simply serves as a testament to how iconic both of these series are.

Although Dandadan is a relatively new series, its rise to popularity, combined with the longstanding presence of the Persona series since the early 2000s, has led many fans to claim that the opening remix makes their lives worth living.

Many fans have also expressed that the original opening song of the anime is one of its strongest elements while acknowledging Persona's outstanding OST as well. Some fans simply took the opportunity to appreciate the merger between two of the most visually appealing series currently available.

"Nothing will ever beat dandadan's musical prowess, but this is p goated too. gg anon," one fan said.

"my fav game and my fav game working together? mfg, I love this sh*t," another fan wrote.

A few fans mentioned that the visuals of the anime alone are so iconic that numerous edits have been made using them. Others used the opportunity to point out the similarities between Yukinobu Tatsu's series and Persona, highlighting their eccentric and memorable characters alongside a strikingly recognizable art style.

"I love this. I keep telling my friend that Dandadan has Persona vibes," another fan said.

"Visuals so goated, every fandom starts using them," one fan wrote.

The Dandadan anime is currently ongoing and available for streaming on Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Muse Asia's YouTube channel. Season 1 of the anime will have a total of 12 episodes, with episode 12 scheduled for release on December 20, 2024. Although a season 2 has not yet been confirmed, given its popularity, it will most likely be announced following the release of episode 12.
