Dan Da Dan has really been the standout show from this season. I find it an almost impossible task to try to explain the premise of the show though. It's weird, it's funny, it's exciting, it's tragic, and so many other things. The series somehow blends so many different things into one chaotic stew and it all somehow works. Add the fantastic animation and OST on top of that and it has been a ton of fun this season.

I understand that this show might not be everybody's cup of tea. It constantly was featuring a main character that is very clearly aimed at shota lovers after all. However, I wanted to highlight this show for a different reason; the animation.

This show was made by a very new studio, Tsumugi Akita Anime Lab. As a new studio, they were able to experiment with different ways to produce a series instead of having already established production lines in place. The key thing they do differently is they make heavy use of Unreal Engine throughout the process. This also streamlined things so that they could keep the same creative team working on every episode together rather than separate teams working on different episodes in parallel.

The end product came out looking really good, better than I would have expected from a very young studio like this. The main selling point of the manga is the phenomenal art, so translating that into anime was a risky endeavor for a young studio, but it ended up working out great.

Premieres July 2025. The new PV is here. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis from the article:

The manga centers on university students Magi and Yaeko, who one day witness a Kōjien dictionary falling on the head of a man and hurting him. However, despite bleeding from his head, the man expresses that he does not want them to call an ambulance or the police for him, which seems suspicious. In addition, after this encounter, both Magi and Yaeko start seeing strange things.

No date or PV released yet. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis from AniList:

His looks are -255, touching girls causes him pain, and sexual acts will literally tear him apart. Just what can our ex-salesman Shigeru get in the other world in exchange for such inconveniences...? This is an epic tale of one very ugly, but ridiculously strong man!
