Directed by Fuga Yamashiro is directed with scripts written by Hiroshi Seku, Dandadan is an adaptation of the manga written by Yukinobu Tatsu. The manga and anime are heavy on supernatural and paranormal themes as the story follows two high schoolers — one who believes in ghosts, but not aliens and another who believes in aliens but not ghosts. As they attempt to prove to each other that what they believe is real, they each encounter paranormal activities that result in the two of them obtaining powers.
The official synopsis reads:
This is a story about Momo, a high school girl who comes from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult fanatic. After Momo rescues Okarun from being bullied, they begin talking. However, an argument ensues between them since Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens exist, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts exist.
To prove to each other what they believe in is real, Momo goes to an abandoned hospital where a UFO has been spotted and Okarun goes to a tunnel rumored to be haunted. To their surprise, they each encounter overwhelming paranormal activities that transcend comprehension. Amid these predicaments, Momo awakens her hidden power and Okarun gains the power of a curse to overcome these new dangers! Their fateful love begins as well!?
The story of the occult battle and adolescence starts!
For those who just can't wait for the series to premiere in October, there will be a theatrical screening of the first three episodes, titled Dandadan: First Encounter. It will arrive in theaters across North America on September 13th.
