They crashed into the anime scene when their music appeared in Call of the Night. They got us all dancing with their new theme for MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES. And now, they’re lending their cool sound to the upcoming DAN DA DAN anime adaptation.
It was announced today that hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts will be writing and performing the opening theme, titled “Otonoke,” for the upcoming series. R-Shitei, the rapper of the duo, says that the song was inspired by the series’s theme of paranormal beings resonating with the feelings of humans—which he considers similar to the relationship between musical artists and listeners.
The series will broadcast in Japan in October 2024 as part of the Mainichi Broadcasting System / Tokyo Broadcasting System “Super Animeism TURBO” programming block. The anime will also stream on Crunchyroll.
The original DAN DA DAN manga by Yukinobu Tatsu is serialized in Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ digital manga magazine since April 2021. An English language version is available from VIZ Media. Fuga Yamashiro directs the TV anime at animation studio Science SARU. Hiroshi Seko provides the scripts, Naoyuki Onda on character design, and kensuke ushio on music.
Crunchyroll describes DAN DA DAN:
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!
