The new and crazy Anime Dandadan is quite popular on Netflix. The illustrator Kensuke Creations seems to be a fan of the anime as well and illustrated a crossover with the beloved childhood series Danny Phantom.
What kind of crossover is it? The illustrator named Kensuke Creations is probably a fan of the outlandish anime Dandadan, as he published a crossover of Dandadan and the series Danny Phantom via Instagram. This is quite fitting, as both series feature ghosts and supernatural abilities prominently.
The action-supernatural manga Dandadan first appeared in April 2021 in Japan and quickly gained immense popularity and a growing fandom. In September 2024, the anime adaptation of Dandadan was launched with a theatrical release in Japan, before it was also streamed in October.
In our country, the anime has been airing since October on Netflix, Crunchyroll, and ADN with German dubbing. Dandadan is currently rated 8.7 out of 10 on IMDb, indicating a high level of approval.
Here you can catch a glimpse of the crazy anime:
“The crossover I never knew I needed!”
This was the inspiration: Kensuke Creations thanked the American animator, screenwriter, director, and producer Butch Hartman with his post. He is responsible for various works from Nickelodeon, including Danny Phantom:
I combined my love for Dandadan with the style of my favorite cartoon Danny Phantom! A big thank you to @butchhartman for creating a series that has inspired many of us to engage with art and stories.
