Dandadan Season 2: The Evil Eye Arc Comes to Life
The inclusion of the Season 1 finale in the premiere is significant as it transitions into the Evil Eye Arc. By pairing the finale with the initial three episodes of the next season, Science SARU aims to provide fans with a seamless viewing experience. Audiences attending the Indian theaters from May 30, 2025, will thus enjoy the complete first four episodes of this exciting new arc.
For those unable to attend the theatrical event, streaming options will be available as the first episode of Season 2 will launch in Japan on Friday, July 4, 2025, at 12:26 AM JST. Additionally, platforms like Crunchyroll and Netflix are anticipated to stream the series internationally with English subtitles, mirroring their approach to the first season.
The Dandadan Season 2 theatrical premiere is not limited to India; it will also be available in various other countries starting on May 30, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. In North America, GKIDS has plans to screen the premiere in theaters beginning on June 6, 2025, while ADN will follow suit in Europe on June 7, 2025.
The inaugural season of this popular anime, produced by Science SARU, debuted in Japan in October 2024 and rapidly became the standout hit of the fall anime season, leaving a profound impact on the anime community. This overwhelming success has contributed to heightened anticipation for the upcoming second season.
The forthcoming season will further adapt mangaka Yukinobu Tatsu’s original manga series of the same name. Serialization began in April 2021 on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ digital platform, and as of now, 165 out of 188 chapters have been compiled into 19 volumes, with 16 volumes already available or soon to be released in English.
