A second trailer for the Wandance TV anime has dropped, previewing more dancing and some supporting cast members, as well as revealing an October 8 JST start date.

Also revealed:

• BE:FIRST‘s “Stare In Wonder” is the opening theme song
• ELSEE‘s “Wondrous” is the ending theme song
• More cast announcements, including Taiki Kobayashi, Junpei Baba, Haruka Sato, and Haruka Terui.

Wandance is based on the manga by Coffee, which Kodansha USA describes as:

Kaboku Kotani is starting high school, and he plans to do what he’s always done: go along with his friends, keep quiet, and not to draw too much attention to himself. After all, it’s hard enough to get by with a stutter like his—why make things worse by standing out from the crowd? But then he sees another first-year, Hikari Wanda, dancing like no one is watching—or like she doesn’t care who sees her. It makes Kaboku wonder: Could he reach that same freedom? To find his way to Wanda, he does something he never thought he could: He joins the dance club. After all, every routine begins with a single step, right?

The Wandance manga began serialization in Kodansha’s seinen magazine Afternoon and Magazine Pocket in January 2019 and will release its 14th volume on September 22, 2025 JST.

The anime will feature over 30 songs, from a list of artists that includes Yujin Aramaki, Alisa, Black Boboi, Daigo Sakuragi, FUNI, GZO, RIEHATA, URU, and the late Scatman John.
