An anime movie adaptation of the popular Japanese manga series DAN DA DAN: First Encounter is to be released in North America on September 13, 2024. The three episodes that make up the movie will provide the perfect introduction to the main series, which revolves around ghosts and aliens, a pair of superpowered teenage characters, and romance. The full anime series adaptation of DAN DA DAN will be released on October 3, 2024.
About DAN DA DAN
Based on the Japanese manga series written by Yukinobu Tatsu and animated by Science SARU Studio, the anime series Dan Da Dan combines elements of the science fiction, supernatural, action, and comedy genres along with aspects of mystery and romance. There is a lot of information to unpack and know about this new show, so the following sections are for anyone okay with spoilers.
Set to be released on October 3, 2024, the anime series Dan Da Dan focuses on two high school students: a girl who firmly believes in ghosts but not aliens and a boy who is convinced that aliens exist and ghosts do not. After getting into a heated debate about the existence of supernatural phenomena, the two decide to challenge each other’s beliefs in hopes of coming to a mutual understanding. To do so, the girl sends the boy to a location that’s supposedly haunted, while the boy arranges for the girl to visit a site that’s known for UFO sightings.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, both students encounter incomprehensible supernatural events when they visit those locations. Their experiences cause the students’ powers to activate and their romance to begin blooming. So it’s a pretty normal and epic teenage love story to tell the kids in the future.
About DAN DA DAN: First Encounter
Not to be confused with the DAN DA DAN series discussed above, DAN DA DAN: First Encounter is a movie adaptation of the first three episodes of the series. The movie is set to be released on September 13, 2024, in North America after already being released on August 21 in Asia and September 7 in Europe.
The movie will serve as a long introduction and teaser for the anime series, giving fans of the manga an idea of what to expect from the animated adaptation. Like the title suggests, the movie will also act as a first encounter for any potential new fans to explore a supernatural, magical, and action-filled animated series. While it’s interesting to read and view the story in manga form, it’s also exciting to see the characters and stories in motion.
Early screenings of the movie featured an exclusive video interview with some of the people working behind the scenes, including series creator Yukinobu Tatsu, editor Shihei Lin, director Fuga Yamashiro, as well as the two Japanese voice actors for the main characters, Shion Wakayama and Natsuki Hanae.
The Excitement And Popularity
Three official trailers and one official teaser for the TV series Dan Da Dan have already been released on YouTube, each within a month or two of each other. The official trailer for the Dan Da Dan: First Encounter movie was also released on YouTube only a month ago. Fans have already started making AMVs, or anime music videos, using clips from the trailers and teasers; they’ve also already been making reaction videos to the trailers. All this goes to show that both anime and manga fans are very excited and working quickly to show their love and support for the series.
Final Thoughts
With the anime adaptation of DAN DA DAN yet to be released, fans, especially manga readers, are excited. First Encounter serving as a grand entrance for the series is an excellent way to introduce the series to fans. Some amazing series will use movies to end or close their series, making it a bittersweet film for fans to watch on rare occasions; Dan Da Dan instead will use its movie to draw fans into the series. Fans will certainly watch it numerous times for nostalgia or as a way to refresh their memories when revisiting the series in the future.
