The Dandadan anime's freshman season ended last week, leaving the fate of its heroes hanging in the balance. While some fans felt a bit jilted by the finale, Dandadan continuously received high praise from audiences and critics alike - something that rarely happens nowadays.
The team behind Dandadan and Crunchyroll didn't take long to announce that the anime's second season is officially in production and even gifted fans with an expected premiere window. The announcement came via a teaser trailer jam-packed with reveals that are no doubt going to make the wait even more exciting.

Given that Dandadan Season 1 aired on Thursdays around 8:00 AM PST, 11:00 AM EST, and 4:00 PM GMT. If Crunchyroll decides to follow the same strategy for Season 2, then fans can expect the chaos, the laughs, and all the supernatural action to have the same schedule for its second season. The anime aired simultaneously on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu, so it wouldn't be surprising if this happens again for Season 2.

From what can be gathered from the scenes in the trailer, the yokai haunting Jiji will merge with its host, giving fans a much-anticipated first look at Jiji's Yokai form, who seems to be wearing nothing more than a pair of briefs and some rainbow-colored rectangular earrings. Will this be Dandadan's attempt at flipping the script on fanservice and the male gaze in anime?
There's more, however, than the simple addition of Jiji's hybrid form. It doesn't seem like this yokai is a fan of human beings, instead it seems like it wants to annihilate the human race. If that's the case, will Jiji and Okarun clash? Will this complicate things between Jiji and Momo? One thing is certain, the Dandadan teaser trailer adds more questions than answers - but that's not a bad thing.

In Episode 12 of Dandadan, titled "Let's Go to the Cursed House," the story intensified as Momo, Okarun, and Jiji traveled to Jiji's family home to investigate the malevolent spirit responsible for his parents' hospitalization. Upon arriving, the trio started exploring around the town while being watched from the shadows by the creepy citizens of the town. As they delved deeper, Okarun had to grapple with feelings of jealousy over Jiji's closeness to Momo, and an unexpected bond with Jiji. While the episode took its time setting up for Season 2, it didn't feel like a transitional episode, but quite the perfect spot to leave fans excited about what's to come.
