Original Author, Asano Inio.
It’s the anime adaptation of “Dededede”. Throughout the 8 years of the serialization, it seems the society is experiencing major changes, but I take pride in leaving the important and universal matters in this work that will never change no matter how much time passes. There isn’t much I can talk about the story as the manga had covered everything, but please experience the complex yet pure world of “Dededede” through Kadode and Ontan. “Dededede” will never end. Also, Kadode and Ontan are the “absolute”.
Anime “Dead Dead Demon’s Dededededestruction” is currently in production!
