Can't wait for Dan Da Dan season 2? Here are 5 anime to hold you over
Mob Psycho 100 - Netflix
It has often been discussed by fans that Dan Da Dan and Mob Psycho 100 are among the easiest to compare. Teenagers with extraordinary psychic powers are at the heart of both stories. Just like Momo and Okarun in Dan Da Dan, Mob is a shy boy with incredible psychic abilities in Mob Psycho 100.
One-Punch Man - Crunchyroll
The artist ONE is the creator of the Japanese anime and manga series One-Punch Man. It centers on Saitama, a rather regular-looking man who transforms into a superhero and, as the name implies, is able to destroy the enemy in "One Punch."
Gintama - Crunchyroll
Both Gintama and Dan Da Dan incorporate a great deal of humour. A Japanese manga series and anime adaptation, Gintama is renowned for its distinctive fusion of humour, science fiction, and historical fiction. It tells the tale of Gintoki Sakata, a freelancer and ronin who lives in the alien-invaded metropolis of Edo.
Cowboy Bebop - Netflix
Set in 2071, the series spanned 26 episodes and chronicled the life of a roaming bounty-hunting crew onboard the Bebop starship. Director Shinichirō Watanabe, author Keiko Nobumoto, character designer Toshihiro Kawamoto, and other members of the production crew led Sunrise's creation and animation of the anime.
Sakamoto Days - Netflix
Sakamoto Days may become your favorite show to watch if you enjoy humour. Both Sakamoto Days and Dan Da Dan are jam-packed with action-filled, heart-pounding sequences. While Sakamoto Days combines humorous moments with dramatic action, Dan Da Dan is known for its ridiculous, often slapstick humor throughout supernatural events.
