Dandadan (sometimes called Dan da Dan as three words) is projected to be the biggest new anime of the fall. The series doesn’t premiere until October, but thanks to a new deal with distributor GKIDS, you can catch it one month early…and on the big screen! “Dandadan: First Encounter” is what they’re calling this special preview, exclusive to theaters, that will show the first three episodes in a row. Bonuses include interviews with manga creator Yukinobu Tatsu and editor Shihei Lin, the anime’s director Fūga Yamashiro, and others. Dandadan has a pretty cool premise: two teenagers who are into the paranormal meet up in high school — Momo, who comes from a family of spirit mediums, and Okarun, a big sci-fi fanatic. You’d think they would instantly form a bond, but they don’t — their beliefs actually clash. Momo believes in ghosts, but not aliens, while Okarun fervently believes in alien visitors but scoffs at the idea of ghosts. Each insists they can prove what they believe is real. Momo
