Dandadan is back, and it is bringing even more mayhem this summer. After a thrilling first season that introduced fans to the wild world of cursed houses, aliens, yokai, and awkward teenage romance, the second season is officially underway. The anime adaptation of Yukinobu Tatsu’s manga has become one of the most talked about shows of recent years, and with Science SARU continuing its distinctive animation style, the energy is only getting stronger. The premiere of Season 2 kicked off the Summer 2025 anime season with a bang, and fans are already counting down to the next episode.
Season 2 will run for a total of twelve episodes, airing weekly every Friday at 12:26 am JST. For global fans, this translates to Thursday evening in most international time zones, allowing viewers to jump into the madness a few hours earlier depending on their region. The first episode aired on July 4, and new episodes will continue to drop every week until the finale airs on September 18. So far, the timing has remained consistent, and unless there are unforeseen delays from the studio, fans can rely on a steady weekly rollout.
The new season is available across several Japanese television networks, including the Super Anime ism TURBO programming block. Japanese viewers can also stream the show on platforms like ABEMA, Hulu, U NEXT, and Netflix. For international fans, Dandadan Season 2 is being simulcast on major streaming services including Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu. This wide availability has made the anime even more accessible than before, ensuring global viewers can experience every bizarre exorcism, alien encounter, and emotional subplot right as they drop.
This season picks up right after the explosive events of the first. With Jiji now fully introduced and the stage set, the story dives headfirst into the Cursed House and Evil Eye arcs. These plotlines expand the universe further, as Momo, Okarun, and Jiji face new threats with deeper lore and more emotional weight. The haunted house plotline becomes more intense as the Kito Family emerges as major antagonists. Alongside them, a terrifying new creature known as the Tsuchinoko, a cryptid with ties to ancient myths, is also thrown into the mix.
However, the most intriguing part of this arc might be the arrival of the Evil Eye. Unlike the past foes who were either aliens or traditional yokai, the Evil Eye blends mystery, power, and unpredictability. The season teases the origins of this character and whether it will ally with Momo and Okarun or become their most dangerous enemy yet. The dynamic between the characters deepens as well, especially as the fight scenes are balanced by emotional and hilarious moments that have made the show a fan favorite.
Science SARU’s animation continues to be a highlight, capturing Dandadan’s chaotic energy with fluid, surreal sequences that amplify the tension and humor equally. The studio’s ability to maintain high quality visuals while leaning into exaggerated expressions and intense battle choreography makes the show stand out in an already packed anime season.
The excitement surrounding Dandadan Season 2 is only growing. With each new episode, the anime pushes the boundaries of its already outrageous genre mashup. As the arcs develop and characters evolve, fans can expect a rollercoaster of supernatural threats, heartfelt friendships, unexpected romance, and signature comedic chaos.
