In celebration of the return of DAN DA DAN, the theatrical premiere, releasing as DAN DA DAN: EVIL EYE, kicks off the thrillingly eerie EVIL EYE arc, which began in the last episode of the first season. The DAN DA DAN: EVIL EYE theatrical event screens last season's start of the EVIL EYE arc, along with the first three episodes of the new second season, in addition to an exclusive interview with series co-directors Fuga Yamashiro and Abel Gongora. DAN DA DAN follows Momo, a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult geek. In this new arc, Momo and Okarun set out on their latest adventure, traveling to a hot springs town home rented by Jiji, Momo's childhood friend and former crush, with the goal to solve the mystery surrounding his family. When they arrive, strange locals derail their investigation before it can properly begin, and the group soon learns there's more lurking under the surface of the town than they could possibly have imagined.

It’s so much fun to spend time with these characters, watch them gain ground, and become more powerful in this unique universe. Evil Eye is the must-see anime event of the season, whether it’s enjoyed in theaters or in piecemeal when season two begins.

Rated: 4/5

Dan Da Dan remains one of the top feats of anime/manga because of its freefalling ability to slide through genres while holding you transfixed...it refuses to do one thing but instead does love, ghosts, and aliens with kiss-blowing magnificence

If you’re a fan of Dandadan this is just more of what you love. My only complaint is wanting more, but I’m not sure that counts.

The music and animation are so good! Season 2 is definitely going to be just as good (if not better of course) as season 1! The writing thus far (first 3 episodes of S2) so far is very great!

Rating: 8.4/10 ⭐️ The Good: • Visually Stunning: The animation is phenomenal, with vibrant details, fluid motion, and expressive character designs. • Dynamic Direction: Fūga Yamashiro's direction is kinetic and visually stunning, perfectly capturing the frantic energy and wild imagination of the manga. • Compelling Story: The plot is engaging, with a perfect blend of science fiction, supernatural horror, and comedic absurdity. • Talented Voice Cast: The voice cast delivers excellent performances, bringing the characters to life. The Not So Good: • Narrative Structure: As a compilation film, the narrative might feel a bit episodic, and newcomers might feel overwhelmed by the established character dynamics. • Tone: The film's unique blend of genres might not appeal to all audiences, with some finding the humor too absurd or horror elements too graphic.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
