The opening and ending videos for the TV anime "Dandadan," based on the popular manga by Ryu Yukinobu, currently being serialized on Shueisha's manga app "Shonen Jump + (Plus)," have been released on YouTube.
The opening video begins with a scene in which close-ups of Okarun, Momo, Hoshiko, Aira, Jiji, and others are shown one after another, while the opening theme "Otonoke" by the hip-hop unit "Creepy Nuts" plays. The illustrations are drawn with different touches for the characters and monsters, and the backgrounds are realistically drawn, creating an immersive video that draws you into the world of the work. The ending video plays the ending theme "TAIDADA" by the band "Zutomayo," and is a unique video that follows the daily life of a mysterious moving "beckoning cat."
