GKIDS officially acquires the rights to the highly-anticipated Dan Da Dan anime, after the series was first announced last November 2023.
This marks the first time that GKIDS’ first engagement with a first-run series. The Dan Da Dan anime hails from Science SARU, the Japanese animation studio behind DEVILMAN crybaby, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and the upcoming film The Colors Within. At the moment, the award-winning distributor has yet to announce the U.S. release date for Dan Da Dan.
“After years of championing feature animation and the occasional classic series, GKIDS is thrilled to join in the release of our first-ever new animated series,” GKIDS’ President David Jesteadt said in a statement. “We could not think of better partners than MBS and the artist geniuses at Science SARU, who we have had the fortune of working with on many films before.
“It follows Momo, a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult freak. The two of them start talking after Momo rescues Okarun from getting bullied. However, an argument ensues between them – Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts,” reads the synopsis.
“To make the mutual deniers believe in each other, Momo goes to an abandoned hospital known for its UFO sightings, and Okarun goes to a tunnel that is said to be haunted. In each place, they encounter overwhelming paranormal activity that transcends comprehension.
