The opening and ending videos for the TV anime Dandadan have been released.

The opening video begins with close-up shots of the faces of Okarun, Momo, Seiko, Aira, and Jiji, which swap one after another to the rhythm of the intro, "Dan-dan-dan, Dan-dan-dan." The ending video, on the other hand, starts with a quirky scene of a moving, mysterious “lucky cat” using a hairdryer to get ready. The opening video draws viewers into the world of Dandadan without them realizing it, immersing them into the strange universe. The illustration styles vary between the characters and the supernatural beings, while the settings are depicted with realistic detail. The lyrics "Haileta, Haileta..." combined with the visuals create the illusion that the viewer is being pulled into the world itself. Creepy Nuts' song "Otonoke" enhances this feeling, making viewers feel fully immersed in the Dandadan universe.

Meanwhile, the ending video humorously follows the everyday life of the mysterious moving “lucky cat.” The cat faces various human-like challenges: struggling with the strong wind of a hairdryer while trying to get ready, adopting a real cat despite being a “lucky cat,” dancing to music, cooking, and even failing in the kitchen. The rhythmic tune "TAIDADA" by Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni. adds a charming touch to the adorable antics of the lucky cat.
