First Trailer Highlights

The newly released trailer has set the stage for what fans can expect from Season 2. Picking up where the previous season left off, the trailer teases the continuation of the story through mysterious and sinister enemies, showcasing the series' prowess in blending humor with the unsettling.

One of the most intriguing highlights is Jiji's transformation. Previously more of a side character, Jiji takes on a new form, joining Momo, Okarun, and Aira as supernatural power users. This development promises to add further depth and intrigue to the series as fans eagerly await more details on Jiji’s newfound abilities.

Directorial Changes

Abel Gongora, who played a significant role in establishing the visual aesthetics of Dandadan Season 1 through his contributions to the iconic opening, will now serve as a co-director alongside Season 1's director Fuga Yamashiro. Gongora’s extensive involvement—from key animation to post-processing—brings a continuity of vision to the new season that fans will appreciate.

Recap of Season 1

As Season 1 concluded with Okarun and Jiji discovering a room filled with seals, it left audiences with many questions, including the fate of Momo after an unexpected attack at the hot springs. Season 2's trailer suggests Momo survived the ordeal, eager to continue exploring the paranormal threats that challenge their world.

Season 1 was not only critically acclaimed but it also enjoyed commercial success, becoming a mainstay on Netflix’s weekly Top 10 list—a testament to its widespread appeal despite experiencing some promotional hurdles with Crunchyroll due to a licensing dispute.
