With Episode 8 of Dandadan finally out now, fans again dove straight into this intriguing supernatural world of Yukinobu Tatsu. And while the episode indeed was another banger, one thing remains constant— no one’s skipping the opening! The Dandadan opening, “Otonoke”, has an unreal amount of infectious energy that’s nearly impossible to resist.
However, every good thing comes to an end! With the season racing towards its conclusion (as Season 1 is listed with only 12 episodes), fans are getting increasingly worried that they won’t be able to listen to this banger weekly. Right after coming from the legendary opening, “Specialz” from Jujutsu Kaisen, fans are about to get robbed again by the end of Dandadan!
Creepy Nuts is Currently Dominating the World of Anime Openings
Creepy Nuts, the band behind the opening of Dandadan, has again taken the anime world by storm. Their unique vocal tone, spliced between elements of hip-hop and rock, creates a fascinating sound loved by the whole world. And in case you don’t know, “Otonoke” is just another feather to their crown, a testament to their versatility and creativity.
It has not been overnight, but rather a gradual build-up of the talent and effort that laid the ground for Creepy Nuts’ rise to fame. At first, they started from the shadows, but their passion and perseverance were eventually recognized. Hits like “Call of the Night”, and “Bling Bang Bang” from Mashle became good examples of their skills in the first place, and “Otonoke” just added more fame to their name.
Let’s Prepare to Bid Farewell to This Banger, That Has Been Spoiling Us Every Week
Like it was already mentioned earlier, the inevitable goodbye to this banger opening is closing in. With Dandadan Season 1 capped at 12 episodes, and Episode 8 already out, the sad realization for fans that it is also going to end soon is brought forth. In fact, in less than one month, the weekly dose of “Otonoke” excitement will come to an end, and this whole experience will just remain in our memories.
As fans, we can cross our fingers, expecting Creepy Nuts themselves will bring another banger opening for its 2nd season, but the hype of Otonoke would remain unforgettable.
While accepting the harsh reality, one should still cherish the remaining days of listening to this banger. Otonoke has truly been a game-changer, and its insane goodness has really spoiled fans. One second it’s funky, with vibrant caricatures and the next it’s filled with realistic, visually stunning backgrounds with meticulous detail. As the year also nearing its end, “Otonoke” will undoubtedly be a top contender for the best anime opening of this year.
Dandadan is available to watch on Crunchyroll & Netflix.
