Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus: Everything you need to know about the anime
By Aman Shukla Published on July 8, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated July 8, 2025, 11:45 IST If you're a fan of heartfelt stories with a touch of the supernatural, Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus is an anime you won't want to miss. This latest chapter in the beloved Rascal Does Not Dream series dives into the college life of Sakuta Azusagawa and introduces new mysteries tied to the enigmatic 'Puberty Syndrome.' Here's your guide to everything you need to know about this exciting anime. What's the Story About? Picture this: Sakuta's no longer the high school kid we met in Bunny Girl Senpai . He's now a college freshman studying statistical science in Yokohama, still head-over-heels for his girlfriend, Mai Sakurajima, the actress everyone adores. Santa Claus dives into the 'University Arc' (based on light novel volumes 10–13), where Sakuta's juggling school, love, and a new mystery that's as bizarre as it gets. Enter Toko Kirishima, a girl rocking a miniskirt Santa outfit who claims she's 'gifting' Puberty Syndrome. Yep, that weird phenomenon where teen emotions go haywire and cause supernatural chaos is back! Toko's got some shady vibes, and with multiple versions of her popping up, Sakuta's got his work cut out to protect Mai and unravel the truth. It's classic Rascal —funny, emotional, and a little mind-bending. Who's Behind the Anime? The team behind Santa Claus is the same crew that made us fall in love with the series. CloverWorks is animating it, and let me tell you, the visuals are as gorgeous as ever. Here's the dream team: Sōichi Masui directs, keeping that perfect mix of humor and heart. Masahiro Yokotani writes the scripts, so expect those tear-jerking moments. Satomi Tamura designs the characters, making everyone look iconic. Fox Capture Plan handles the music, and it's giving all the cozy, emotional vibes. The voice cast is stellar: Kaito Ishikawa as Sakuta, Asami Seto as Mai, and Reina Ueda as the mysterious Toko. Newcomers like Konomi Kohara (Sara Himeji) and Manaka Iwami (Miori Mito) add fresh energy. Oh, and the music? The opening, 'Snowdrop' by Conton Candy, is super catchy, and the ending, 'Suiheisen wa Boku no Furukizu' (The Horizon Is My Old Wound), sung by the cast, hits you right in the feels. How Does It Fit into the Series? Santa Claus is the second TV season, picking up after the 2018 Bunny Girl Senpai series and three films: Dreaming Girl (2019), Sister Venturing Out (2023), and Knapsack Kid (2023). It adapts volumes 10–13 of Hajime Kamoshida's light novels, moving Sakuta into his college years. To get the full experience, here's my recommended watch order: Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai (TV, 2018) Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl (Movie, 2019) Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out (Movie, 2023) Rascal Does Not Dream of a Knapsack Kid (Movie, 2023) Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus (TV, 2025) Ahmedabad Plane Crash Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai Season 2: Release date, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 21, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated June 21, 2025, 14:30 IST If you're a fan of Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai , you're probably counting down the days for Season 2. This anime, with its mix of supernatural weirdness, heartfelt romance, and real emotional punches, has kept us hooked since 2018. Now, with Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus —the official title for Season 2—finally confirmed, there's a lot to unpack. Here's everything we've dug up about the release date, cast, plot, and more, so you're ready for what's coming. When's the Release Date for Season 2? The big news dropped at the Aniplex x Kadokawa Anime Festival: Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus is set to hit Japanese screens on July 5, 2025. That slots it into the summer 2025 anime lineup, and fans are already buzzing. A trailer and poster came with the announcement, giving us a taste of what's in store. Who's in the Cast? The voice cast is one of the reasons this series hits so hard, and thankfully, most of our favorites are back. Here's who's confirmed to return: Kaito Ishikawa as Sakuta Azusagawa, our sarcastic but big-hearted hero. Asami Seto as Mai Sakurajima, the actress girlfriend we all adore. Nao Touyama as Tomoe Koga, the spunky girl with a lot of heart. Atsumi Tanezaki as Rio Futaba, the science nerd with a sharp mind. Maaya Uchida as Nodoka Toyohama, Mai's half-sister. Yurika Kubo as Kaede Azusagawa, Sakuta's sweet little sis. Inori Minase as Shoko Makinohara, the mysterious girl who keeps popping up. Season 2's University Arc brings some new characters, and the voice cast for them is stacked: Reina Ueda as 'Miniskirt Santa,' who's tied to the season's big mystery. Sora Amamiya as Uzuki Hirokawa. Aya Yamane as Ikumi Akagi. Konomi Kohara as Sara Himeji. Manaka Iwami as Miori Mito. These new voices should shake things up, and I'm excited to see how they fit into Sakuta's world. What's the Plot About? Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus dives into the University Arc, starting with volume 13 of Hajime Kamoshida's light novels. Sakuta's out of high school now, starting university in Yokohama with Mai. The shift to college life means new challenges, new faces, and, of course, more Puberty Syndrome weirdness. The story kicks off with Sakuta running into Miniskirt Santa, who says she's Touko Kirishima and seems to be spreading Puberty Syndrome. Sakuta's got to protect Mai, but things get messy when he finds out there's more than one Touko Kirishima out there. He's got to figure out who's real, all while dealing with prophetic dreams, a mysterious online singer, and some creepy social media poltergeists. The trailer hints at the usual mix of funny moments, deep feels, and supernatural strangeness, with 'Miniskirt Santa' adding a quirky but serious vibe.
