Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye co-director "didn't know" it was going to be a movie, but hopes anime continues the trend of big-screen releases
Exclusive: Co-director Abel Gongora talks Evil Eye's pivot to 🍸the big scr🏅een

Until relatively recently, you would be forgiven for think💟ing anime releases on the big screen were solely the domain of the likes of Studio Ghibli, director Makoto Shinkai, and the odd Pokemon adventure.
Inꦺ the past few years, however, studios and production companies have catapulted a n🍌ew trend into cinemas: the compilation movie.
Essentially a recap of a previous season bundled with a taster for what's to come, the likes of Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, and Solo Leveling have all 🍨seen success with the theatrical package.
Now, it's the turn of Dan Da Dan with Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye, an introduction to the first season's Evil Arc coupled with the first three episodes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dan Da Dan season 2, an adventu🙈re that sees series leads Momo and Okarun investigate ❀supernatural goings-on at the home of Momo's former crush.
Speaking to GamesRadar+ co-director Abel Gongora fromജ Science SARU only has good things to say about anime becoming more and more confident with its strides into the theatrical space.
"For me, it's great. I could see my work on the screen and it looks amazing. The sound is really amazing in the theater," Gon🍬gora said.
ꦑDespite Evil Eye heading into cinemas, that seemingly wasn't the initial plan.

As Gongora explains, "We didn't know it was g𝕴oing to be a movie. That would [have been] even cooler if we did it more like a prepared edition."
However, the co-director – alongsꩲide Dan Da Dan season one directܫor Fuga Yamashiro – hopes anime continues its trend of big-screen releases.
"I was really happy to see [it] and I hope anime keeps doing things like ⭕that," Gongora said. "For example, in the premiere, we had people walking around – maybe going to watch other films or shopping in the mall – but then they also saw Turbo Granny and the actors there. Then they ask, 'What🌟 is going on?' Then they might watch the anime because they saw it in the theater. That's also interesting."
Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye is out in US theaters now and in European theaters from June 7. Dan Da Dan season 2 is stream𝐆ing on Crunchyroll and Netflix f🌞rom July.
