Dandadan Season 2 Episode 1 Premiere Date and Time
Dandadan Season 2 Episode 1 Release Date & Time: Everything You Need to Know
The anticipation for Dandadan Season 2 has reached new heights after the anime became an overnight sensation in 2024. With a celebrated first season boasting a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating and multiple Crunchyroll Anime Awards, fans have eagerly awaited news of the sophomore chapter. The wait is almost over: Dandadan Season 2, Episode 1 is officially set to premiere on July 3, 2025, streaming globally on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu. New episodes will stream worldwide on Thursdays, beginning at 11 a.m. EST / 8 a.m. PST, making international access instant and inclusive.
Dandadan’s Meteoric Rise and Why It Stands Out
Dandadan, adapted from the hit manga by Yukinobu Tatsu and animated by Science SARU, quickly became a touchstone for modern shonen anime. The show distinguishes itself not just through lush animation and a dynamic score, but—crucially—its cast of uniquely lovable characters. Protagonists Momo Ayase and Ken “Okarun” Takakura have especially drawn praise for their natural chemistry and compelling character growth, creating an emotional anchor amid the show’s supernatural antics. This earnestness and approach to storytelling provides a fresh contrast in a landscape sometimes saturated with familiar tropes.
For a primer on the hype, fans can even catch the first three episodes as a feature-length film, Dandadan: Evil Eye, which debuted in theaters on June 6, 2025. The positive mark the series left on audiences has kept it a trending topic across anime communities, and it’s highlighted in several roundups of must-watch summer anime, such as this look at Crunchyroll’s lineup.

Voice Cast Returning For English Dub
The English dub continues its acclaimed cast, with highlights including:
| Character | Voice Actor |
|---|---|
| Momo Ayase | Abby Trott |
| Ken "Okarun" Takakura | AJ Beckles |
| Aira Shiratori | Lisa Reimold |
| Jin "Jiji" Enjoni | Aleks Lee |

Season 1 Recap: Supernatural Chaos With Heart
The first season followed Momo and Okarun’s supernatural misadventures, starting with a skeptical experiment—Momo believes in ghosts but not aliens, Okarun the opposite. Their explorations lead both to discover their beliefs are true, triggering latent psychic powers in Momo and bestowing a peculiar curse on Okarun.
Key arcs included rescuing classmates from yokai, defending against bizarre alien invasions, and, in the season finale, investigating the ominous house of Jiji, Momo’s childhood friend. The revelation of a hidden, talisman-covered room in Jiji’s home, and a cliffhanger at a hot springs resort, left viewers clamoring for more.

What to Expect From Dandadan Season 2
Season 2 launches directly from the Cursed House arc, covering manga chapters 35 to 63, and will likely introduce the Evil Eye and Cursed House storylines, with hints at the beginning of the Kaiju Arc. This season promises deeper character dynamics—particularly between Okarun and new “rival” Jiji—alongside more surreal and wild supernatural showdowns. The show’s signature blend of sharp humor, supernatural action, and awkward teenage romance remains center-stage, with romance between Momo and Okarun slowly deepening against the chaos.
Notably, Season 2’s direction falls to industry talents Fūga Yamashiro and Abel Góngora (known for work on Devilman Crybaby), signaling a continued commitment to bold animation and inventive storytelling.
