About SANDA

Meet SANDA, an action, drama and mystery anime by Science SARU (2025). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The premise: In a future where children are few and regarded as Japan's most valuable assets, Christmas has become a mere legend of the past. For the students of Daikoku Welfare Academy—a boarding school where they are educated, protected, and monitored—the mythical Santa Claus is a forgotten character of fiction.

Further in, for the adults, Santa Claus is a very real menace that needs to be neutralized by the Saint Nick Pursuit Unit in case he makes an appearance. Shiori Fuyumura, a pupil of Daikoku Welfare Academy, is determined to find her best ally, Ichie Ono, who has been declared dead after being missing for six months. One morning, Fuyumura summons her fellow class representative, Kazushige Sanda, only to attack the unknowing boy.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Kazushige Sanda (Ayumu Murase) and Shiori Fuyumura (Umeka Shouji) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
