The upcoming TV anime "Dandadan," based on the original work by Yukinobu Tatsu, has released a new "Transform Visual" and announced additional cast members who will portray various supernatural beings in the series. The announcement was made on September 16 and revealed exciting new details about the series' characters and its unique blend of supernatural action and comedy.
The newly released "Transform Visual" features a dynamic depiction of the transformed Okarun at the center, surrounded by the main characters Momo, Ayira, Jiji, Hoshiko, and a mysterious waving cat. The image conveys a sense of movement and energy, with Okarun and Momo extending their hands in dynamic poses, hinting at the action-packed adventures to come.
In addition to the visuals, it was revealed that several prominent voice actors will bring to life the various supernatural entities that Momo and Okarun encounter:
- Ryūzaburō Ōtomo will voice the Flatwoods Monster, an alien resembling a sumo wrestler with large, diamond-shaped gills. The Flatwoods Monster is known for its agility and can perform powerful sumo moves from a crouching position.
- Kikuko Inoue plays the acrobatic Sarasara, a ghostly figure with long, flowing hair and a red dress, known for her eerie presence.
- Tomokazu Seki plays the Dover Demon, also known as "Shako Alien," a creature with a powerful, shrimp-like punch and a unique speech pattern ending with "deisu."
- Tomokazu Sugita voices Taro, a male humanoid anatomical model brought to life by a mysterious force.
- Fumi Hirano plays Hana, a discarded female anatomical model from an earlier era.
"Dandadan" is an "occult, supernatural battle and romantic comedy" that follows the adventures of Momo Ayase, a schoolgirl from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Ken Takakura (nicknamed Okarun), an occult enthusiast. The series combines action, romance, and humor as Momo and Okarun battle various supernatural beings. Momo is voiced by Shion Wakayama, while Okarun is portrayed by Natsuki Hanae.
The anime is set to premiere on October 3.
