The official social media accounts for the franchise revealed recently that Yukinobu Tatsu’s manga has now surpassed a staggering 10 million copies in print as the release of Volume 19 draws near on April 4th in Japan.

The DAN DA DAN anime adaptation is being handled by the talented team at Science SARU, with Fuga Yamashiro was the director for Season 1 and Abel Gongora stepping in as director for Season 2. The anime brings the manga’s wild energy and chaotic charm to life with a stylish flair that fans have quickly embraced.

The anime’s creative team is rounded out by an incredible staff line up with Hiroshi Seko (Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan) handling the scriptwriting, Naoyuki Onda on character design, and acclaimed composer kensuke ushio (Chainsaw Man, Devilman Crybaby) crafting a haunting and electric soundtrack.

With both the anime and manga experiencing massive success recently, DAN DA DAN has quickly carved out its spot as one of the most talked-about and hyped up series at the moment. Whether you're drawn in by its unique blend of  sci-fi with aliens, or tales of ghosts, and psychic battles, or simply enjoy the humor. Now is a great time to jump into DAN DA DAN and see what it is all about.

@McMurdo - Tbf from what I understand, Danadan's barely in its 4th year of publication so its story just hasn't grown to the point that it could go up against something like HxH.

That being said it probably never will because HxH is peak fiction.

@McMurdo - for this comparison i completely agree.

Dandadan is too episodic for my taste. These new age of shonen manga are mid imo. This, jjk, mha. Demon slayer, sakamoto days, all mid

I am very glad that a lot of people like manga/Japanese anime comics/movies and it brings them such joy.

I don't get it, and I truly hate it all for so many reasons.

@DocSpock - I don't recommend getting involved w/the so-called community. Those mf are weird.

@TK420 -

Good warning. I've been thinking that for over 50 years. The Japanese Manga and toy invasion of American comic book stores in the 70s ran over half of the USA comic stores out of business. I was in the middle of that bloodletting.

@DocSpock - try it gor a change. Id imagine Death Note is for you as a start.

Why do you hate it?

@vectorsigma -

I have too many reasons to list, the beginning of which is over 50 years old.

@DocSpock - age shouldnt be a restriction to watch anime. There are a lot of adult oriented themes that will pique your interest.

As ive mentioned, Death Note and i will add Monster and Berserk (which were re imagined as a trilogtly movie ifbi remember correctly) as good introductions

But you do you ofc 🙂

@vectorsigma -

I don't like the stupid looking Japanese anime characters with the giant round heads with giant eyeballs. I have tried anime and manga. I despise both. I am also not into asian martial arts movies or shows.

I just can't stand the things.

@DocSpock - you might have picked a sample not suited to your taste and generalized all to ve like that

For example, Monster has this art style, not the same as the typical ones

Anime/manga gives some new perspective or a different angle on being a geek/fanboy imo. And besides, most of the hollywood franchises now like the MCU or SW are mediocre, so might as well find other works to get some new entertainment

Are you aware of the Japanese manga & toy invasion of the 1970s which destroyed about of the comic stores in the United States? I was heavily involved in all that carnage.

@DocSpock - my first time hearing about it. Will look it up. So this is personal, interesting.

I didnt know that manga came in the US as early as the 70s and made such effect. Will check

@HashTagSwagg - this has been an initial challenge from a lot of people including myself.

But Oda (the author) is a master storyteller and no other manga author is close.

The world bulding, the characters you will care about (even their ship), the intricate story weaving, the action, all top notch.

Patience is needed though but it is well rewarded

Pretty good read if you're into absurdity, and even the romance subplot is well incorporated.

More than a bunch of liberal trash comics fit for wiping.
