We made it to the big dance competition. And it looks like all that practice paid off for them! Can't wait to see how this plays out against the other schools. #anime #blog #animeblog #fall2025anime

Have a feeling Damian is going to have to suck it up and get along with some of the others pretty soon. Or he'll watch Anya do it first and try to prove he can do it better. This arc should be a wild ride. #anime #blog #animeblog #fall2025anime

Something seems to be going on under the surface with Shiori now too. Will she really be able to eat Hinako when the time comes? Can't wait to see how that pans out. #anime #blog #animeblog #fall2025anime

It's nice that this scene wasn't just telling the other dancer what to do, but guiding them towards the answer themselves. Would have loved to see how that house music dance looked, but no dice this time. Maybe next week. #anime #blog #animeblog #fall2025anime

Nothing beats some well-deserved beauty rest after a good beatdown. Still unsure where this series will go in the future but so far it's been an enjoyable ride. #anime #blog #animeblog #fall2025anime

Is it perfect? No. But Wandance is pushing itself forward with some nice animation and some well-meaning characters. And watching some genuinely try to improve themselves through hard work is something we all can relate to at the end of the day. #anime #blog #animeblog #fall2025anime

Really missed the Anya school antics last season. Glad we got a bit more before the new arc in this episode. Really looking forward to where the arc is going from here.

Really interested in the end goal here for This Monster Wants to Eat Me. Is it to make Hinato more delicious or truly just to have her recognize the beauty in the world around her? We're going to watch it either way but it'll be something to keep an eye on. #anime #blog #animeblog #fall2025anime

Beautiful wrap-up to this romance anime. No confirmed season 2 yet but it came full circle with this last episode and it could just be left there. Either way, easily one of the top series this season. #anime #blog #animeblog #summer2025anime

Not sure what to expect from anyone next episode. Hikaru is spiraling, Yoshiki is determined to find a solution even though the legends aren't adding up, and Tanaka has been eerily quiet. But whatever happens, it's going to be great.

Trying to ask him out and then saying there "aren't any other good matches" besides the pretty, popular girls is a bizarre interaction. But it's about to be winter break, so who will end up making a move next?

The last episode felt both like a big recap and a great segue for another season in the future. In the meantime, might have to check out the other To Be Hero properties.

And now he's pushing himself to take on a challenge no one else can in order to help everyone else. Kafka's always been looking out for others, even before the Defense Force.
