Dan da dan’s farewell to Season 1 is accompanied by this tribute to one of the best anime in history

The phenomenon of ‘Dan da dan’ is the big discovery for many in this fall anime season. The series ended last December 19 with a 12th episode, leaving everything up in the air for its second season, which already has an approximate premiere date. But during the episode we were able to see an unexpected tribute to the history of anime and manga. ‘Slam Dunk’ sneaked in at the end.

This is how ‘Dan da dan’ pays tribute to ‘Slam Dunk’ in the last episode of the first season.

The eccentric Jin ‘stings’ Okarun in the living room of Momo’s grandmother’s house. The two begin to challenge each other to a song that will be familiar to many. Yes, it’s the ending and opening song of the ‘Slam Dunk’ anime, the manga adaptation by Takehiko Inoue, considered one of the best sports-based works in history. As if the signals were not enough, their movements are accompanied by the typical sounds of sneakers squeaking on the basketball court floor. Pure delirium that ends, as is tradition in the series, with a long-range kick from grandmother.

When will ‘Dan da dan’ Season 2 premiere?

As we told you a few days ago, Season 2 of ‘Dan da dan’ already has an approximate premiere date. It will be in July 2025, when Momo, Okarun and the rest of the characters will continue the stories already told in Yukinobu Tatsu’s vignettes. The next summer will be marked by aliens and paranormal events.
