Trailer For The Crazy-Looking Santa Claus Anime SANDA
Merry Christmas! In celebration of the holiday, Science SARU has released a trailer for a new action anime series titled Sanda that centers on Santa Claus, who embarks on a mission to deliver justice instead of presents.
“This story takes place in the not-too-distant future. A time in which there is a sharp decrease in the birth rate. One day a girl disappears from the Daikoku Aigo Academy, a center whose motto is ‘an education without trauma.’
“Shiori Fuyumura, a student who refuses to give up on her friend for dead without first conducting an exhaustive search, asks Kazushige Sanda to help her find her.
“However, Fuyumura believes that Sanda is under a certain curse. This unique human drama aims to represent the strange relationship between the two.”
The original manga that the anime is based off of was created by Beastars creator Paru Itagaki, daughter of Baki Hanma creator Keisuke Itagaki.
Sanda will arrive next year during the Fall 2025 Anime Season, and the voice cast includes Ayumu Murase and Hiroki Tochi, who will be taking on the roles of Kazue Mita and Santa Claus respectively.
