The trailer has already dropped jaws, and it feels like Science SARU has again elevated its animation skills from the last time,even outdoing that of Dandadan! What’s even more interesting, though, is that it has a horror or dark theme even after being a “cheerful Santa” anime. This may turn our Santa Claus into a haunting character one would never forget.
