The Dandadan anime has been confirmed along with the staff and studio involved in the project
On Monday, after several speculations and theories, it was confirmed that fans will be treated to the Dandadan anime. There is hope that Science Saru, known for its most recent project, the Scott Pilgrim anime, can do justice to Yukinobu Tatsu's popular manga series.
There is also the fact that the anime has been confirmed for 2024, although there is no information regarding a specific release date, as mentioned earlier. The creative staff that has been confirmed for the project thus far includes the likes of director Fuga Yamashiro, series composer Hiroshi Seko, Kensuke Ushio, who is in charge of the music, character designer Naoyuki Onda, and creature designer Yoshimichi Kameda.
The premise and appeal of the story
Dandadan is a supernatural and horror story with a lot of comedic elements, which is centered around the friendship between two high school students, Momo and Okarun. Momo believes in ghosts and aliens and Okarun does not. This is why they challenge each other to go to places where, in theory, there are aliens and ghosts, to see who is right at the end of the day.
However, as they go through these adventures, they find out that they are both right, which in turn leads to a lot of fun and interesting situations. The series goes to great lengths to feature action scenes and creative imagery, and the plot can go in a lot of crazy directions. However, everything is grounded through Momo and Okarun's friendship and care for one another.
Science Saru has a big challenge when it comes to the Dandadan anime because of Momo and Okarun's antics, the designs of both the aliens and the ghosts, and the overall bizarre images that Tatsu has crafted.
