AND DA AND anime has revealed the preview for Episode 5, which is set to premiere next Thursday on October 31. Studio Science SARU is animating, with both Crunchyroll and Netflix streaming the anime. The upcoming episode is titled “Like, Where Are Your Balls?” and the preview teases the appearance of Aira Shiratori. Ayane Sakura voices the character, who was announced with the second trailer for the anime.

You can watch the preview video for the upcoming episode below.

Fuga Yamashiro is directing the AND DA AND anime adaptation, with Hiroshi Seko in charge of the series composition and Naoyuki Onda as the character designer. The main Japanese voice cast consists of:

• Shion Wakayama as Momo Ayase
• Natsuki Hanae as Ken Okarun Takakura
• Nana Mizuki as Seiko Ayase
• Mayumi Tanaka as Turbo-Granny
• Kazuya Nakai as Serpoian Alien

Yukinobu Tatsu writes and draws the AND DA AND manga, which began serialization on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ service in 2021. Volume 16 of the manga released in Japan on October 4, a day after the anime’s strong premiere.

The story follows a high school girl Momo and her classmate Ken Takakura. Momo comes from a family of spirit mediums, while Ken is a follower of the occult. After their challenge went wrong, Ken (now known as Okarun because of Momo’s idol) got cursed and now Momo has to keep him in check. In the previous episode, they took down Turbo Granny. However, it appears that Okarun will realize he is missing something else, and we’ll see what he’ll need to do to get it (or them) back.

We had to chance to interview both the Japanese and English voice cast members of AND DA AND. From the Japanese cast, we spoke with Shion Wakayama, the voice of Momo. Also present was the show’s director Fuga Yamashiro. As for the English members, we spoke to both Abby Trott and AJ Beckles, who voice Momo and Okarun, respectively.
