Renowned animator Maplestar has confirmed that it is producing an animated Dandadan , starring Momo Ayase and Okarun . The announcement came after a poll held in November 2024, where fans could vote on the work they most wanted to see adapted. Dandadan won, and the project entered development in 2025.
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 follow his work closely.
On his blog, the animator launched a poll in November 2024, asking which animated series 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?
On the last animated film, Fern and Stark , Maplestar collaborated with an official animator from Frieren . However, it's not yet known whether this new project will have the same team or technical expertise. Despite this, the animator's success in previous projects gives him confidence that the result will be well-received by fans.
