Fantastic first episode.

Two questions;
1. Why is this on Netflix and Crunchyroll?
2. How did they get the English dub done so quickly?

[Mangaranga]

It's because GKids have the license and they're streaming it on both platforms.
They've also been able to dub it relatively quickly because quite a few episodes have been done for a while now. 360p watermarked workraws for Episodes 1-6 were leaked two months ago alongside a bunch of other titles - like the entire new Ranma 1/2 season - when Iyuno was compromised, an external company Netflix works with to dub/sub their titles. The first three or four episodes were also shown theatrically a few weeks back.

[Gowho]

The English dub was actually commissioned by the Japanese side, similar to Mission: Yozakura Family and The First Slam Dunk.

When MBS announced the dub cast instead of anyone here, that pretty much gave it away.

There is a seperate area for show discussions.

I made the mistake of watching the theatrical showing of the first 3 episodes that made the rounds a few weeks ago and almost fell asleep 1/2 way through. Needless to say I won't be watching any more of it, in a word YUCK.

1. Because they licensed it?

2. They've been doing simuldubs for anime for years now, I remember Funimation having something 2 days after Japan did before Covid, which then delayed it a week or so, but was still fairly quick turnaround (My Hero Academia, maybe?)

I want to see these series sooo bad. I don't care for streaming services though. Hopefully it gets a BD release when it ends.

The Japanese Blu-ray is going to be from Aniplex, so expect mediocre picture quality that may likely be worse than streaming releases.

Wait for the US Blu-ray from GKIDS/Shout! Factory, or the Italian release if Dynit is doing it.

GKIDS licensed the show in NA: https://gkids.com/films/dandadan/
They're already selling digital versions but I can't wait for the BD. The series has been a blast so far so I want to own a copy when it comes out.

Season 2 has been confirmed and will be airing starting in July 2025, with it streaming in the US on Crunchyroll and likely Hulu and Netflix too. Please note there may be spoilers in the article

Just watch it, why deprive yourself of the enjoyment? There wasn't much even close to being as enjoyable to watch as this was this season (or even this year).

[BigOnAnime]

Some people simply prefer watching stuff through discs.

As BigOnAnime have stated, I prefer watching physical media. Don't care to subscribe to any streaming services.
thelonepig mentioned in another thread that this should get released by Gkids later on. I hope so =)

Just get a free trial of Hulu and binge it.

[Tylerfan]

Or Netflix, it’s on there too

[Naiera]

Netflix is just absolute garbage for animation. Watch anime anywhere else, if possible.

[Hydra Spectre]

To the people who have seen the first three episodes in cinemas, were they in surround sound in cinemas or just stereo?
