Wandance [S01E07: Wanda’s Pre-High School Days]

Okay, let’s talk Wandance Episode 7—because this one had everything: hype competition wins, relatable jealousy vibes, and… uh, some very questionable CGI hair. Let’s dive in!

First off, the big news: Ichirin High took FIRST PLACE at the dance contest, and Wanda got MVP! Can we just scream about that for a sec? All their late-night practices finally paid off, and seeing Wanda get the recognition she deserves was chef’s kiss. But wait—Kabo had a little moment there, right?

You know that feeling when your best friend is getting all the spotlight and you’re just… standing in the background? Yeah, that’s exactly what Kabo went through. Everyone was fawning over Wanda (and don’t get me wrong, she earned every bit of it!), but Kabo felt invisible. Fans were low-key mad that the judges skipped over him, but honestly? It’s super relatable. Who hasn’t felt left out when someone you care about is in the limelight? The good thing is, the arc didn’t drag on—thank goodness! We all knew Kabo and Wanda’s sync was the reason they won, so it’s nice to see that resolved quickly.

Then there’s Wanda’s backstory drop! Did you guys know she used to work at a convenience store and practice dancing alone after shifts? That’s so raw. It makes her character way more real—like, she didn’t just magically become a dance prodigy; she put in the grind. Shoutout to her old boss, Manager Jackson, for being a legend (his little farewell dance was unironically the best part of the episode—fight me).

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: the CGI. Oh man, the hair. Fans were roasting it left and right—calling it “mop head hair” or “plastic puppet vibes.” Yeah, it’s a vibe kill sometimes, but let’s be real—does it ruin the episode? Not really. The dance moves still hit, and the story is strong enough to overlook those little awkward moments.

Also, can we talk about the music? So many people were hoping for MJ tracks, but we got Scatman instead. And you know what? Scatman slapped. It’s become the show’s signature, and honestly, I’m here for it. Maybe next season we’ll get MJ (fingers crossed!), but for now, Scatman is our guy.

The new ED was a bop too—someone mentioned it’s the most Wandance thing ever, and I totally agree. It’s catchy, fun, and fits the show’s energy perfectly.

Overall, Episode 7 was a solid one. It had character growth, relatable moments, and some wholesome bits that made me smile. Even with the CGI flaws, the story keeps you hooked. I can’t wait to see what’s next—will Kabo’s secret training arc make him level up? Are we gonna get a dance battle between Kabo and Wanda? Only time will tell, but I’m definitely tuning in.

If you haven’t watched it yet, go check it out—just don’t stare too hard at the hair. Trust me, it’s worth it. 😊
