Continuing with the leaks supposedly coming from a hack to Netflixthe opening sequence of the long-awaited anime adaptation of “Dandadan“, showing the opening theme titled “Otonoke” and interpreted by Scary nuts. Let us remember that, just like “Ranma 1/2”, this premiere is scheduled for the period of Fall 2024 (October to December).

The “MediaTime” and “SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers)” marks are used in the dubbing industry so that voice actors know where to start their line of dialogue, as the timestamps also appear in the scripts. This fueled the theory that these leaks would not come from Netflix, but from some dubbing studio that leaked the content internally or was hacked by a third party.

In fact, it is inferred that not only the opening sequence was leaked, but the entire first episode (or even more than one), as had been previously mentioned with “Ranma 1/2”. Although Netflix has not issued any statement in this regard, it is not expected to do so in the future, especially since streaming platforms prefer not to acknowledge these leaks and not favor their distribution on the Internet.

Despite everything, Reviews were positive regarding the opening sequence of “Dandadan”, especially since the art style and animation convinced most. Plus, Creepy Nuts, the band behind the song, have starred in successful opening sequences before, so it's no surprise that they're repeating the formula.
