Dandadan is a TV anime adaptation of Yukinobu Tatsu's popular Japanese manga series of the same name. It's more of a genre-blending anime that mixes horror with action, comedy, and supernatural elements. Science Saru, the Japanese animation studio behind Netflix anime series such as Devilman Crybaby and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, is also behind this anime.

Momo is a teen girl and ghost enthusiast who doesn't believe in the extraterrestrial, while her classmate Okarun is obsessed with aliens but doesn't believe in ghosts. After a series of bizarre events, they find themselves having to team up to fight the different terrifying, otherworldly creatures they encounter.

Here's the show's synopsis via Crunchyroll:

"When high schooler Momo, from a family of spirit mediums, first meets her classmate Okarun, an occult geek, they argue—Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts. When it turns out both phenomena are real, Momo awakens a hidden power and Okarun gains the power of a curse. Together, they must challenge the paranormal forces threatening their world."
