Dandadan Anime Season 1 Recap
The first season of Dandadan has introduced many important characters such as Momo, Okarun, and Jiji (Jin Enoji). In episode 11, we enter The Cursed House Arc, where the three characters adventure to a haunted house in a small village.
However, since this arc consists of 23 chapters in the manga version, the first season will definitely leave many mysteries unsolved. The Cursed House Arc focuses on Jiji, who faces various misfortunes after her family moves into a new house. She enlists Momo’s help to exorcise the evil spirits that inhabit the house.
A dark secret was revealed that the Kito family, who owned the house, used the place to perform ritual tenant sacrifices to Tsuchinoko. Tsuchinoko is considered the village’s patron deity. This conflict reaches its peak and creates tension at the end of the first season.
Dandadan season 2 is likely to continue The Cursed House Arc and possibly adapt The Evil Eye Arc and Kaiju Arc. In this second season, Momo and friends will face greater supernatural threats and uncover more mysteries about extraterrestrials in the world of Dandadan.
When will Dandadan Anime Season 2 be Released?
While there has been no official announcement about the release of Dandadan season 2, recent reports indicate that preparations for the series have already begun. According to unconfirmed leaks, the production of the second season is expected to be released around Summer 2025.
The first season of Dandadan is still ongoing, so fans may have to wait until it’s over to get official information about season 2. Shows like this sometimes also release trailers for what’s to come, although that could still be years away.
The official announcement about Dandadan season 2 will likely happen after the final episode of the first season is released on December 19. However, there is a greater chance of the news appearing at Jump Fiesta 2025 taking place from December 20 to 22 in Tokyo, Japan, where Dandadan will be present.
According to Crunchyroll, the series will appear on the Super Jump Red and Blue Stage at a convention, which may be where fans get info about season 2. Teaser trailers are usually released six to nine months before launch, so this is appropriate for a series of its kind.
