This is a show just as much for fans of demons and the occult as it is for those of sci-fi, aliens who want to steal people’s genitals, and genre-spiked rom-coms. It is a testament to the writing of this anime that it all mixes together this well, because the show goes from spooky to gross to hilarious to even cute all in the span of a few minutes without ever feeling jarring.

Dan Da Dan’s first three episodes manage to stick the landing by focusing more on the anime’s lovable protagonists and less so on the absurdity of the occult and extraterrestrial world they inhabit

It provides a fresh approach compared to other supernatural anime, where darkness often dominates the narrative. Ultimately, this balance of horror and humor makes Dan Da Dan a standout in its genre, carving out a new niche with its playful unpredictability.
