EPISODE REVIEWS

Lorem Ipsum

Episode twelve marks the end of this wild ride of an anime, Paru Itagaki is a mangaka who really knows how to play with your expectations. It was a heartbreaking ending, after everything they've been through and it wasn't enough, I really hope we get season 2 eventually.

The whole thing with Sanda and his fiancée was pretty weird; the ending just had me going wtf? Would I watch this anime again? Probably not, it had a bit of vision, but the plot just sorta falls through like they didn't really know where to take the story. W animation though.

Episode Context

The season finale of Sanda delivers exactly what twelve episodes of buildup demand. Expect a high-intensity climactic confrontation anchored at the Daikoku Welfare Academy, where Santa faces off against Headmaster Oshibu in a collision of ideologies as much as fists. Science SARU's animation work carries the weight of the stakes, with brisk pacing that refuses to let up. Between the action set pieces, the episode carves out space for genuine emotional resonance, Santa's ongoing struggle with his identity reaches its most vulnerable and decisive point. Themes of belief, tradition clashing with modernity, and what it means to carry a legacy run through every scene. The mood swings between white-knuckle tension and quieter reflective beats, landing on a conclusion that's more thought-provoking than neatly wrapped. A finale that earns its place.
