About the Series

“DAN DA DAN” is an anime based on a popular manga of the same name, created by Yukinobu Tatsu. The series follows high schoolers Momo and Okarun as they deal with different aspects of the occult in their daily lives. At first, Momo did not believe in aliens, but she believed in ghosts. Okarun was the opposite, believing in aliens and not ghosts. However, the two of them encounter what they thought they never would and end up with supernatural abilities to take on alien and ghost enemies.

Overall, the story is an electrifying, action-packed love letter to sci-fi and horror with the heart of a ruthlessly funny teen rom-com. It is a must-watch!
