When Does The Wild Side Anime Release Its Final Episode?

If you’ve been glued to every weekly drop of 'Wild Side', I’ve got the date you’re waiting for: the final episode is set to air on Sunday, November 16, 2025 (JST). The series wraps up its first cour with episode 12, and Japanese broadcast will hit the midnight time slots across the usual networks, with the TV broadcast window centered around 23:55–24:30 JST depending on the station. For most international fans, the simulcast will go live within an hour of the Japanese airing, so expect it to appear on the official streaming platform carrying the show for your region (Crunchyroll has been the worldwide streamer for many recent shows, but check the service that licensed 'Wild Side' for where you live).

The pacing toward the finale has been building for a while — if you’ve been watching the weekly build-up, episode 12 is designed to tie up the main arc that the studio announced would close this cour. That said, the production team hinted in the last few promotional interviews and on their Twitter feed that there might be additional content (OVAs, a movie, or a second cour) depending on how well the finale lands, so keep an eye on official channels after November 16 in case there’s a surprise continuation. Personally, I’ll be watching the premiere on the stream and refreshing social feeds for reactions; finales are prime time for wild takes, fan art, and the inevitable heated debates about character choices.

If you’re planning a watch party, aim to start your stream about 10–15 minutes after the official JST slot so international subtitles are fully processed — that usually avoids the tiny delays some platforms have. Also, if you care about the highest quality and the director’s intended experience, try to catch the TV broadcast or the platform’s first stream instead of waiting for dubbed versions; dubs typically follow but can come days or weeks later depending on the region. For folks who like to rewatch, the finale’s key animation cuts and soundtrack cues have been teased in previews and the OST releases, and those moments really shine on a second viewing.

I’m honestly excited (and a bit nervous) to see how 'Wild Side' ends this run — the show’s been juggling so many threads, and the studio has been delivering some gorgeous visuals and legitimately gut-punching beats. Whether the finale gives a clean resolution or leaves a cliffhanger for a future season, it should be a memorable send-off for this cour. I’ll probably be yelling at my screen and refreshing the official account right after it airs, same as always — can’t wait to see how it all lands.
