It remains my absolute favorite media franchise ever because it does so much. Continue reading “What I’ve Been Watching/Reading” →
Shinpei, the protagonist, is a fairly introspective person and is planning out his next moves and what he has to do to ‘win’ the next loop. Meaning we’ll get the entire story! What is really special about Summertime is that its pacing is absolutely tremendous each episode escalates from the previous episode, but not in a way that leaves either viewers or characters without room to breathe. The visuals, the music, and the acting (the seiyuu voice the characters with a Kansai accent!) are on-point, it’s a truly gorgeous show and slated to run for 25 episodes, covering the manga in its entirety. There is, surprisingly, a lesbian (though sadly unrequited, but hey, one of the het guys is even more unrequited than she). The show suffers from truly unnecessary fanservice, but it’s not the most egregious around. But the loop is getting a little shorter each time, and soon he’ll loop to the moment of calamity and will have no more chance to ‘redo’. Except each time he dies, the time loops and he gets another chance. I’ve been obsessed with Summertime Render, a horror/suspense anime with the premise that a guy returns to his small-town island home and finds it infested with spooky doppelgangers pretending to be humans… and then he gets brutally murdered.
