The series follows the story of Momo, a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult enthusiast. After Momo rescues Okarun from being bullied, they engage in a debate: Momo believes in ghosts but dismisses aliens, while Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts. To prove each other wrong, they visit locations known for paranormal activity, leading them to discover overwhelming phenomena and unlock hidden powers.

The first three episodes of the Dan Da Dan anime will hit theaters nationwide starting on Friday, September 13, under the title Dan Da Dan: First Encounter.
