New Shounen Dandadan Might Be the Biggest Anime of 2024. Here's Where to Watch It and What You Should Know

As a seasoned gamer and manga enthusiast with over two decades under my belt, I must confess that Dandadan has quickly become one of my favorite reads in recent years. Having grown up on classics like Dragon Ball Z and Naruto, this quirky, genre-bending series by Yukinobu Tatsu has captured my heart with its blend of humor, action, and the supernatural.


The manga titled “Dandadan” was initially published in 2021, crafted by the talented Yukinobu Tatsu who serves as both its writer and illustrator. This captivating series saw a surge in popularity during the pandemic and has sustained its success up until now. Not too long ago, it was revealed that “Dandadan” will be transformed into an anime adaptation, with Science Saru handling its production – the same studio renowned for creating the critically-acclaimed “Devilman Crybaby” from 2018, which is still accessible on Netflix.

What Dandadan is about

In the story of “Dandadan”, we meet Momo and Okarun, portrayed by Ken Takakura. Unlike each other, Momo maintains a skepticism towards extraterrestrials, whereas Okarun is deeply fascinated by supernatural occurrences. However, their usual routines are disrupted when they find themselves entangled in events involving both aliens and yokai. Despite its initial appearance as a standard shonen battle series, “Dandadan” consistently subverts genre expectations, providing unexpected twists with every new chapter. To avoid spoiling the plot, I’ll skip the details, but it’s important to mention that “Dandadan” has already generated significant hype and currently ranks as the second most anticipated anime of 2024.
