Sanda
Sanda streams on Amazon Prime Video. It's one of the strangest and boldest premises in recent anime — Santa Claus as a hunted urban legend in a childless future Japan — from the mind of Paru Itagaki, the creator of Beastars, animated with Science SARU's unmistakable elasticity.
About
In a Japan where children have become so rare they're treated as national assets, students live monitored lives inside boarding academies, and Christmas has faded into myth. Kazushige Sanda is an ordinary class representative until his classmate Shiori Fuyumura attacks him with total conviction: she believes he's the descendant of Santa Claus, the one being who grants wishes — and her wish is to find her best friend, declared dead after vanishing six months ago. What follows is a wild collision of chase thriller, body-swap comedy, and sincere meditation on what adults owe the children they claim to protect.
