The anime adaptation of Dan Da Dan is moving closer to becoming a reality with the announcement of the official English voice actors for its two lead characters, Momo and Okarun.
Dan Da Dan, a well-known manga series, has gained a lot of hype as one of the highly anticipated anime releases of 2024 due to its exaggerated humor and visually stunning action scenes.
The upcoming release in October will feature Okarun, a seemingly ordinary high school student with a fascination for aliens and UFOs, and Momo, a Gyaru-gal who is struggling to accept the spiritual abilities passed down to her by her grandmother.
Despite facing otherworldly challenges, the two characters experience hilarious moments that ultimately unite the central cast against all odds. And now, they have discovered their English voices.
According to an official press release on July 29, 2024, AJ Beckles will provide the voice of Okarun, while Abby Trott will bring Momo to life.
Beckles gained recognition for his notable roles as Takemichi Hanagaki in Tokyo Revengers, Michizou Tachihara in Bungo Stray Dogs, and Kaname Tosen in Bleach.
It is a given that Beckles is extremely enthusiastic about the chance to portray Okarun in Dan Da Dan, describing the series as a “masterpiece.”
AJ Beckles is known for voicing roles in anime series like Tokyo Revengers and Bleach.
“He expressed his excitement at being involved with DAN DA DAN, stating that it was a dream come true. He had been a fan of the manga for a couple of years and admired the incredible acting skills of Hanae-san. Being given the opportunity to play Okarun’s counterpart in the dub was an honor that he never thought possible.”
Tatsu-san is an expert in his field, and I believe this is a rare opportunity that may only present itself once or twice in a lifetime. As a result, I am approaching this role with the utmost reverence and attention. I am eager to showcase my interpretation of this ‘awkward fellow’ and want to assure devoted fans of this adaptation that they need not have any concerns. It will undoubtedly be a work of art.
Trott has gained recognition for her role as Nezuko in Demon Slayer, as well as her performances as Spiral in X-Men ’97 and Machi in Hunter X Hunter. She shares the same excitement as Beckles in joining Dan Da Dan’s eccentric cast of characters.
Abby Trott is best known for playing Nezuko in Demon Slayer – and now, she’s bringing her talents to Dan Da Dan.
“According to her, you are not yet prepared for DAN DA DAN. However, upon watching a clip of Science SARU’s flawless animation, it became evident that this was a remarkable series. This show is incredibly dynamic, blending humor, horror, beauty, strangeness, intensity, and rawness – and I am thrilled to lend my voice to Momo in the animated adaptation of this magnificent manga. Whether you are ready or not…”
“Dan Da Dan will first be shown in select theaters worldwide from August to mid-September as a special three-episode theatrical release, before becoming available on streaming services in October 2024.”
