In just under a month, “Dandadan” Season 2 will debut on Crunchyroll, and following the pattern of its previous season, it has already screened the first three episodes in cinemas for eager fans to savor. The feature-length movie “Dandadan: Evil Eye”, which is part of Season 2, compiles these opening episodes, focusing on the popular “Evil Eye” storyline from the manga. On June 6th, “Dandadan: Evil Eye” hit theaters to widespread acclaim from fans and critics alike.
After the movie “Dandadan: Evil Eye” hit theaters, initial online critic reviews started appearing. However, the number of released reviews is insufficient to calculate a critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes. If a score was generated today, it would stand at 100%. Similarly, audiences seem to adore the film, as it boasts an impressive audience rating of 97% as well. With this positive reception in mind, let’s delve further into the reviews.
What Are Critics Saying About Evil Eye?
The feedback on the anime movie “Dandadan: Evil Eye” has been predominantly enthusiastic. Although a few have raised concerns about the trend of pre-season anime films, the overall sentiment towards “Evil Eye,” and therefore Season 2, seems to be that it’s a welcome return!
Elisa Guimaraes from Collider and Cain Novle-Dacies from FILMINK Australia both agree that the anime “Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye” is likely to enthrall fans due to its captivating story, which seamlessly blends chilling suspense with humor, a trait characteristic of “Dan Da Dan“. Novle-Dacies further compares it to a “purple-and-gold-hued nightmare fuel”, hinting at the horror elements while suggesting there’s more excitement yet to unfold.
One standout aspect of Season 1 was its knack for seamlessly transitioning between different genres, moving from a scene that elicits laughter to another that tugs at your heartstrings. In the same vein, Io9’s Isaiah Colbert praises Evil Eye for maintaining this trait. “Evil Eye is yet another example of Dan Da Dan’s exceptional skill as anime’s genre-shifting master, easily adapting tones and styles in a flash,” reads their review. Similarly, Shaerin Nicole of RIOTUS shares this viewpoint, expressing that Dan Da Dan continues to impress due to its unique ability to move effortlessly across genres while keeping viewers captivated…it’s a marvel that refuses to stick to one genre but instead delivers love stories, ghostly encounters, and alien invasions with breathtaking finesse.
