Dandadan

Yes, an anime adaptation of Dandadan produced by Science SARU premiered in October 2024, streaming globally on Crunchyroll and Netflix. The adaptation was directed by Fuga Sato and generated significant buzz for its high-energy animation of the series' bizarre supernatural-versus-alien action sequences.

Momo Ayase is a high school girl who believes in ghosts but not aliens, while her classmate Ken Takakura—whom she nicknames 'Okarun'—believes in aliens but not ghosts. They dare each other to prove the other wrong, leading to Momo encountering aliens and Okarun being cursed by a ghost, setting up the series' central blend of supernatural and sci-fi chaos.

Dandadan is serialized on Shueisha's Shōnen Jump+ digital platform, where it debuted in April 2021. Creator Yukinobu Tatsu was previously an assistant on Chainsaw Man under Tatsuki Fujimoto and Hell's Paradise under Yuji Kaku, influences visible in the dynamic action choreography and absurdist tonal shifts.

The Turbo Granny is a spirit based on a real Japanese urban legend about a fast-moving ghostly grandmother, and in Dandadan she curses Okarun, giving him super speed when possessed but also tying his power to a creepy octopus-like spirit form. She is one of the first major supernatural entities in the series and becomes a recurring, darkly comedic presence.
