Dan Da Dan season 2: Everything you need to know about the hit anime's return

Dan Da Dan season 2 has come to an end, and 12 episodes are available for your binge-watching pleasure on Crunchyroll or Netflix.

Based on the manga by Yukinobu Tatsu, the series is easily one of the best anime out there. We also didn't have to wait too long between seasons: the season 1 finale aired in December 2024, and Dan Da Dan season 2 premiered in July, just a few months after the Evil Eye movie made its theatrical debut.

Whether you've already finished watching the season or just want to know what you're diving into beforehand, everything you need to know about Dan Da Dan season 2 is here. Dan Da Dan season 3 is also on the way...

Dan Da Dan season 2 release date

Dan Da Dan season 2 premiered on July 4, 2025, with new episodes airing every Thursday.

The first three episodes of Dan Da Dan season 2 were also briefly available in theaters as part of the Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye feature.

This new season is available on Crunchyroll and Netflix, with the English dub also being present on Crunchyroll.

Where to watch Dan Da Dan

Fans can find Dan Da Dan streaming on both Crunchyroll and Netflix. Though it might seem odd for two major streaming services to broadcast the same show almost simultaneously, this is becoming increasingly common with these two sites.

As such, one can find the latest episodes of other popular series like One Piece and Dragon Ball: DAIMA on both as well.

Dan Da Dan season 2 story

If you aren't caught up with this anime yet, Dan Da Dan is the story of Ken "Okarun" Takakura, a boy who is obsessed with extraterrestrials, meeting Momo Ayase, a girl who is obsessed with the supernatural. An encounter with an entity called the "Turbo-Granny" left Okarun possessing spiritual powers that he can call upon during adventures, while being kidnapped by aliens awakened telekinetic abilities in Momo. Together, they've formed a sort of teenage X-Files, as they dive into more creepy cases, all while trying to find Okarun's missing "Kintama" (his testicles, now scattered in the shape of golden orbs).

Dan Da Dan season 2 continued what is known as the "Cursed House Arc," one of the longer arcs in the series. This means that it will start adapting chapter 34 onwards of the manga (in case you want to read ahead for spoilers). So far in this arc, the arrival of Momo's first crush, Jiji, has put pressure on the friendship and burgeoning flirtation between Momo and Okarun.

Season 1 ended with a massive cliffhanger, and season 2 follows Momo as she deals with the townsfolk and the mysteries of the town while Jiji and Okarun further explore the secrets of the house. There are a lot of surprises to be found here, and while little hints have been dropped in the first season (remember the Tsuchinoko!), it's best not to spoil what comes next.

We will say, however, that the first episode of season 2 picks up where the first season left off and sees Momo quickly fighting off her attackers. After an altercation with a group known as the Kitos, Okarun and Jiji encounter a Mongolian death worm. More worryingly, Okarun begins to turn into his 'Turbo Granny' form and makes his way towards Jiji in creepy fashion.

How much of Dan Da Dan do you need to watch before season 2?

The anime adaptation of Dan Da Dan tackles the manga at a confident pace, leaving a lot of room to both build up suspense, allow action sequences and humorous bits to play out in satisfying ways, and give important emotional moments a chance to breathe. There's hardly an ounce of "filler" on it, so you'd be remiss if you tried to skip ahead.

The best plan for watching Dan Da Dan is to settle in for all twelve episodes, because it's very easy to become attached to the characters and will leave you wanting MUCH more when the first season ends.
