DAN DA DAN Third PV Teases OP and ED
The third DAN DA DAN PV begins with a defeated Momo and Okarun muttering to each other that they now believe in aliens and ghosts respectfully. Then, it cuts to an ominous shot of Turbo Granny and the duo being chased by a crowd of things that look like people, a Serpoian, and other future threats. With new supernatural creatures appearing one after another, the music switches to the new opener (OP). Its rhythmical music along with Science SARU’s vibrant animation puts the world of the series on full display. Furthermore, the PV showcases the battles, mutations, and romantic-comedy elements fans can expect as the main story unfolds.
Seeing is believing. 👀

“TAIDADA” by ZUTOMAYO was revealed to be DAN DA DAN’s ending theme (ED). Speaking on the series, ZUTOMAYO’s vocalist, ACAね, said:
I’ve been reading DAN DA DAN on Jump Plus since its serialization began, and even now both the initial and latest volumes continue to draw me in. As someone who has always admired the “gyaru mindset,” I find myself intrigued by Momo, and Okarun’s line about “amateur morning greetings” struck me so much that I immediately had to make a note of it in my iCloud. Being enemies is helping each other. I want to work more closely together, fight alongside each other, not overlook the tedious things, and feel the kind of fatigue that lets you sleep—like being weakened by delicious curry, like happiness in a Four-and-a-Half Tatami Room— that’s what inspired me to create this song. I hope you can enjoy it!

The story follows Momo (voiced by Shion Wakayama (JP) / Abby Trott (EN)), a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun (voiced by Natsuki Hanae (JP) / AJ Beckles (EN)), an occult freak. The two of them start talking after Momo rescues Okarun from getting bullied. However, an argument ensues between them. Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens. Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts.
To make the mutual deniers believe in each other, Momo goes to an abandoned hospital known for its UFO sightings. Also, Okarun goes to a tunnel that is said to be haunted. In each place, they encounter overwhelming paranormal activity that transcends comprehension. Amid these predicaments, Momo awakens her hidden power.
