DAN DA DAN Season 2 Trailer
AiNA THE END started out with the punk-rock group BiSH. Talking about her new theme song, she remarked, “I am so pleased to announce that I have written ‘On The Way,’ the opening theme for the second season of DAN DA DAN. I really love DAN DA DAN, both the original manga and the first season of the anime series, and am so happy to have this opportunity. In ‘On The Way,’ I poured my heart into creating music that captures the bittersweet emotions of love while fighting and running to protect what is most important. The song also represents the feelings of Momo and Okarun, and I hope that it can serve as a source of encouragement for those who are feeling lost. I really love this song!”
She previously contributed songs to the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Season 2 and The Apothecary Diaries.
The movie DAN DA DAN: EVIL EYE, which combines the end of the first season and the beginning of season 2, will hit North American theaters on June 6.
GKIDS gave this description for the series:
DAN DA DAN Plot
DAN DA DAN follows Momo, a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult geek. In this new arc, Momo and Okarun set out on their latest adventure, traveling to a hot springs town home rented by Jiji, Momo’s childhood friend and former crush, with the goal to solve the mystery surrounding his family. When they arrive, strange locals derail their investigation before it can properly begin, and the group soon learns there’s more lurking under the surface of the town than they could possibly have imagined.
Based on the popular manga by Yukinobu Tatsu, DAN DA DAN is an electrifying, action-packed love letter to sci-fi and horror with the heart of a ruthlessly funny teen rom-com. In DAN DA DAN: EVIL EYE co-directors Fuga Yamashiro and Abel Gongora bring fans a new story in the latest series from cutting-edge animation studio Science SARU (The Colors Within, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off) with pulse-pounding original music from kensuke ushio (Chainsaw Man).
