Need a mix of paranormal stories, scifi space alien mumbo-jumbo, and a romance comedy in-between? Then this adaptation of a manga may pique your interest.

The upcoming anime is called Dan Da Dan, and it’s about two classmates -high school girl Momo and guy Okarun- who bicker about which of the following exists: ghosts or aliens. Momo believes in ghosts but not aliens, while Okarun believes in aliens but not ghosts. Friendship and romance follow suite, along with ghosts/aliens nonsense going on.

Dan Da Dan will be showing on Netflix this October.

Momo and Okarun's wild adventures wouldn't be complete without Seiko, Aira and Jiji!
