Rascal Does Not Dream Anime to Return in 2025

Oh, boy! The anticipation is real as I, your humble anime connoisseur, have been eagerly awaiting the return of the Rascal Does Not Dream franchise. With my extensive background in all things anime and manga, I’ve followed this series since its inception, and the news of a new adaptation next year fills me with unbridled joy.


The popular “Rascal Does Not Dream” series, which originated from Hajime Kamoshida and Keji Mizoguchi’s light novel series, is set to return next year with a brand new anime adaptation focusing on a fresh story arc. After the initial TV anime release, the franchise has expanded with numerous feature films and specials adapting subsequent arcs. Now, fans eagerly await the upcoming University Arc anime installment, and recent news provides details about its expected premiere.

Previously, Rascal Does Not Dream indicated their plans to revisit the University Arc from the original light novels in a fresh adaptation. Recently, Aniplex and Kadokawa held a special event that provided fans with an update on this project. It has been confirmed that the new anime is set to premiere sometime in 2025. The title of the upcoming series will be Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus, which corresponds to Volume 13 of the original light novels and moves slightly ahead from where the previous anime adaptations concluded. You can find the updated teaser for the anime on their official channels.
