Anime Limited, otherwise known as All The Anime, have today announced that the upcoming DAN DA DAN anime series, which is an adaptation of the Shonen Jump manga by Yukinobu Tatsu, will receive a one-day-only cinematic event on 13th September 2024.
This cinematic event, called DAN DA DAN: The First Encounter, will give fans an early look at the series by combining the first three episodes of the series and bringing them to the big screen. Additionally, this special screening of DAN DA DAN will also include exclusive interviews with key staff, including the manga’s author Yukinobu Tatsu.
About: DAN DA DAN 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. 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. Amid these predicaments, Momo awakens her hidden power and Okarun gains the power of a curse to challenge the paranormal forces! Their fateful love begins as well!? The story of the occult battle and adolescence starts!
Specific details about the DAN DA DAN: The First Encounter screening, such as audio format (although we suspect it will be Japanese with English subtitles only), locations and ticket availability, have not yet been mentioned. The trailer does mention a website, although at the time of writing the link doesn’t seem to work. Either way, DAN DA DAN: The First Encounter will be available in UK cinemas (for one night only) on 13th September 2024.
