Dandadan finally sets a date for its premiere

On the official site for the anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Yukinobu Tatsu, "Dandadan", a new promotional video for the project was revealed. The video confirms that the premiere is scheduled for October 3 in Japan, and lists a snippet of the theme songs, including:

The band Creepy Nuts will perform the opening theme titled "Otonoke," while the band ZUTOMAYO will perform the closing theme titled "TAIDADA."

Unfortunately, several episodes of this project were leaked as part of the massive Netflix leak, which will possibly affect the expected reception for this upcoming premiere (possibly a large part of those who have already seen the leak, even if it has been in low quality, have no intentions of seeing the official premiere).

Yukinobu Tatsu, who was one of the assistants of author Tatsuki Fujimoto, began publishing the manga through Shueisha's Shueisha publishing house Shonen Jump Plus digital service in April 2021, where it is still in serialization. Tatsu is also the author of other serialized works such as "Seigi no Rokugou" and "Fire Ball!", as well as one-shots such as "Yamada Kiki Ippatsu" in 2019 and "Renai Saibaihou" in 2015.

Synopsis of Dandadan

After being aggressively rejected, Momo Ayase is angry when she bumps into a boy who is being bullied. Saved by her reckless kindness, the occult-obsessed boy tries to talk to her about supernatural interests he thinks they share. Rejecting her claims, Ayase proclaims that she is, instead, a believer in ghosts, starting an argument between the two about which one is real. In a bid to determine who is right, the two decide to visit places related to the occult and the supernatural separately: Ayase visits the former and the boy the latter.

When the two arrive at their respective places, it turns out that neither of them was wrong and that both the occult and ghosts exist. This marks the beginning of the adventure of Ayase and the boy, who shares a name with Ayase's favorite idol, Ken Takakura, as they try to fix the surreal supernatural and sci-fi elements around them to return to a normal life.
