Trust us when we say that the next arc of Dan Da Dan goes to some weird places - even for this show.

Dan Da Dan was one of those unexpected anime hits in 2024. Its mixture of beautiful animation, a truly baffling concept, and heartbreaking moments made it the perfect show of the season. Now, with season two on the horizon, we’re once again getting the chance to see Science Saru’s work on the big screen as Dan Da Dan runs its way into cinemas for the beginning of the Evil Eye arc.

The lovely folks at GKIDS, who have been busy with their wildly successful re-release of Princess Mononoke in IMAX this week, announced that they would be bringing Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye into cinemas in the US on June 6, 2025. This theatrical release will include the last episode of season one and the first three episodes of season two, making this a surprise preview of what is to come.

This is similar to what happened for the first season, but now we’ve seen Dan Da Dan in action which makes the hype for this new movie even more real. Listen, we’ve read the manga for this upcoming arc and we can promise you that it is going to go to some weird places. The trailer for the Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye movie also serves as a new trailer for season two, giving us our first glimpse at the wild ride we’re in for when the anime returns in July 2025.

Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye is out in US cinemas on June 6, 2025, leading up to the second season which debuts a month later in July.
