ADN, in partnership with MBS (Mainichi Broadcasting System, Inc.), announces the theatrical release of DAN DA DAN: First Encounter in the EMEA region. Fans will be able to discover the new anime DAN DA DAN as well as exclusive content in theater on September 7 and 8 in France, Belgium and Luxembourg at CGR Events, in September in over 20 European countries with POM Anime, and on September 7 in French-speaking African countries with Les Films 26.

Based on the popular manga by Yukinobu Tatsu, DAN DA DAN is an action-packed love letter to sci-fi and horror with the heart of a ruthlessly funny teen rom-com. The upcoming series is brought to life by Science SARU, the same innovative studio behind such hits as DEVILMAN Crybaby, INU-OH, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and more. The theatrical premiere of DAN DA DAN, released under the moniker DAN DA DAN: First Encounter will feature the first three episodes of the series. The premiere will also feature an exclusive interview with Yukinobu Tatsu and Shihei Lin, the author and editor of the original manga, Fuga Yamashiro, Director of the upcoming anime series, and Shion Wakayama and Natsuki Hanae, voice actors for the leads Momo and Okarun respectively.

“When making this series into an anime, I incorporated playful and visually stunning techniques unique to video to create a very fun structure for the series. I believe you will enjoy it in a slightly different way from the manga and I hope you have a good time at the theatrical release!”, said Fuga Yamamoto.
