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 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? Join Kaboku and Wanda as they freestyle their way to life and love!
The verdict
Season picksMust watchFall 2025A stuttering high school boy joins the dance club after meeting a confident dancer, against his basketball friends' norms. A rich, sharply written character study about self-expression with cinematic storyboards and a fantastic licensed soundtrack. The big problem is the dated-looking 3D models in the dance scenes, but everything else is phenomenal and one of the year's best coming-of-age stories.
