Choosing the full format
According to Maplestar, the decision to make a full version came from the “many, many requests” he received. Expectations are high, especially among followers who closely follow his work.
On his blog, the animator launched a poll in November 2024, asking which animation fans would like to see next. Dandadan ended up winning the vote.
Maplestar's history
The artist is already known for his productions aimed at a more mature audience, having created alternative versions of popular characters such as Makima (Chainsaw Man), Yor Forger (SPY x FAMILY), and Marin Kitagawa (Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru). His ability to capture the essence and charisma of the characters has established him as one of the most talked-about names in this niche.
What to expect from the adaptation of Dandadan?
In their last animated series, Fern and Stark, Maplestar collaborated with an official animator from Frieren. However, it's still unknown whether this new project will have the same team or technical level. Despite this, the animator's success in previous works inspires confidence that the result will be well-received by fans.
