The blistering and genre-bending sci-fi comedy romance garnered widespread critical and audience acclaim for its fantastic animation, sharp writing, and endearing characters. The first season’s opening theme song “Otonoke” from the hit duo Creepy Nuts became a social media phenomenon, and the series has enjoyed all manner of critical acclaim, with global audiences eagerly awaiting the show’s return.
DAN DA DAN is a television adaptation of author Yukinobu Tatsu’s manga of the same name, which is currently serialized in the massively popular “Shonen Jump Plus” by SHUEISHA, under the globally beloved Shonen Jump imprint. Yukinobu Tatsu previously worked as an assistant to acclaimed author Tatsuki Fujimoto on his global hit series Chainsaw Man and Fire Punch, and Yuji Kaku on Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku. The original manga series recently crossed 10 million in sales, more than doubling its circulation following the global success of animated series.
Synopsis: DAN DA DAN: EVIL EYE follows Momo, a feisty high schooler descended from spirit mediums, and her eccentric occult-obsessed classmate Okarun into a wild new arc of mystery and mayhem. This time, the duo heads to a mysterious hot springs town, staying at a house rented by Jiji — Momo’s childhood friend and former crush — to uncover the dark secrets haunting his family. But their paranormal investigation goes off the rails fast, as bizarre locals and eerie phenomena derail their plans.
What they discover is far beyond anything they were prepared for…
Adapted from the smash-hit manga by Yukinobu Tatsu, DAN DA DAN is a genre-bending thrill ride — a supernatural rom-com bursting with action, horror, and heart. In EVIL EYE, co-directors Fuga Yamashiro and Abel Gongora (Science SARU) deliver a visually explosive new chapter, amped up with a killer original score by Kensuke Ushio (Chainsaw Man).
DAN DA DAN: EVIL EYE will be released in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on Friday 6th June, in Japanese with English subtitles.
