The inaugural season of Dandadan premiered in October 2024, receiving both critical and commercial acclaim. It gained immense popularity, successfully positioning itself as Netflix’s most-watched anime of 2024, outshining other major titles like Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, and One Piece. Even mainstream media has recognized Dandadan, as evidenced by a recent Avengers comic that alluded to its impact within popular culture.

While discussing specifics may spoil the story, fans clearly have much to anticipate.

Despite facing its share of controversy, the series has undeniably triumphed. With Science Saru’s stunning animation intimately paired with Tatsu’s exceptional narrative, July 3rd promises to be a remarkable date for all enthusiasts of Dandadan.
