Dan Da Dan is available to watch for subscribers on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu.

As per Crunchyroll, Dan Da Dan will be streaming on the service in multiple regions. As of writing, the following have been confirmed: North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States).

The synopsis might sell you on the zany adventures of Momo and Okarun: "Momo is a high school girl born into a family of spirit mediums, and Okarun is her classmate and an occult fanatic. They start chatting after Momo saves Okarun from class bullies, but an argument arises between the two of them - Momo believes in ghosts but not in aliens, and Okarun believes in aliens but not in ghosts. To make each other believe in what the other denies, Momo heads to an abandoned hospital famous for UFO sightings while Okarun heads to a tunnel famous for UFO sightings while Okarun heads to a tunnel famous for being a paranormal hotspot."

How many episodes of Dan Da Dan are there?

Dan Da Dan is set to have 12 episodes. 12 episodes have aired so far. The anime, from Science SARU, should cover the first few arcs of Yukinobu Tatsu's manga, including the Turbo Granny arc.

If it's successful (and we have no reason to believe otherwise), a second season could arrive as soon as 2025. Fingers crossed.
