Dandadan

## Dandadan *Dandadan* is the most talked-about new anime of Fall 2024 — a gloriously unhinged supernatural action-comedy from Science SARU that somehow combines aliens, ghosts, telekinetic battles, and a genuinely sweet romance into one of the year's most entertaining series. Momo Ayase is a girl who firmly believes in ghosts but thinks aliens are nonsense. Ken Takakura — nicknamed "Okarun" — believes in aliens but dismisses ghosts as superstition. When the two challenge each other to enter a haunted location and an alien spacecraft respectively, both discover to their horror (and bewilderment) that the supernatural is completely real. Okarun gains psychic powers, Momo has a dormant ability that awakens under pressure, and together they must fight increasingly bizarre occult enemies while navigating their growing feelings for each other. The show thrives on its visual inventiveness, kinetic action, and the chemistry between its leads.
