The Summer Hikaru Died Episode 1 Reaction (光が死んだ夏)

Yo, you took my homie. You gonna wear his skin in front of me, dog. Bro, you direct nasty.
We’re here to check out the summer Hikaroo died. Right now, we’re picking up. We’re trying some new animes. You’re not going to know if we like it unless you try it. So, if it’s not good, it is what it is. If you guys don’t vibe with it, it is what it is. So, we’re at least going to check it out and see if you guys are going to support it and see if we like it. So, I don’t know much about this. He got it.
Oh my god.
Oh, it’s a summer Hikaru died too. Yo, wasn’t Hikaru the name of somebody in summertime rendering? No. No. What’s the name of that show with the weird aliens in the air? Oh, I don’t know. Have a delusion. Have an illusion. Have an illusion.
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that tree want it back.
Yo. Yo, bring that wood back. I got some for you.
Yo, let’s roll together. Make some fire. Damn. Oh, yeah. That’s gross. So, is this months later? Cuz I didn’t look at the first date. I’m upset. Oh, yeah.
Did it say July 2020 or 2020? July 2020. Right now.
Okay. This VA is in every anime. Missing for a week. Oh. You were the person we were looking for. We were We went forward in time.
Yeah, we went forward. His eyes look [ __ ]
Yeah, I see it. Did you die? [Music] I actually believe he’s not crying fast. How’ you know? Oh, that’s [Music] [Music] I want to kill you. Oh, I was about to say it’s begging for love instead of offering death and then it did at the end. Anyways, [Music] [Music] no, but Hikaru died in January. So, is he going to die twice? Why are you saying that?
It’s called the samurai. HigruU died, but Higrew died 6 months prior to the July in January when he was lost on the mountain cuz it was snowing. So now we’re in summer. Yeah, now we’re in July. It’s summer. Is summer different in Japan? Oh, maybe I’m let it go. I thought of figuratively he died in summer the day he found out it was summer.
I thought some stuff. You know what I mean?
No, I like that one. Hiku did die in summer cuz that’s when he found you realized he was actually dead. What was he actually going up there for? And is that the only week he doesn’t remember? But he has all of Hikaru’s other memories. Damn, you talking about the real Hickoroo. The last memory. Okay. Stomach man. That’s serious. [Music] Ohio. So, what is this dude? I got so much questions, but we eating breakfast. Was that a friendly tap in the shoulder? Oh, he’s trying to convince himself that he’s fine with this. So, hold on to his friend. [Music] the cope. I ain’t going to lie. Yo, son did this to you, I’d be friends with it, but I be I’m on the get back the whole time.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Bro, the whole time. Yo, you took my homie. You going to wear his skin? In front of me, [ __ ] No, bro. I’m going be cool with you in front. I’m going be plotting in the background so hard.
There’s no way you can accept it.
Hell no. I don’t even know the circumstances that he stole your skin. Like
like if your power if you’re promised power and you did a ritual, I’d be like, “Oh man, that sucks.” Still got to get back. If he just took you like you was just chilling with your family one day, he’s just like just took your skin, [ __ ] Nah, bro. And because I don’t know, I’d have to plot the get back regardless. A That’s not a chance, though. What the [ __ ] is going on here? I don’t know, bro. Oh my god. What the?
Those things are on our planet and this dude finds them. You’re one of them.
Kind of looks like Denji, bro. [Music] Wow. Wow. Wow.
This [ __ ] is in the creepy crawies, bro. I got the creep crawlies big time. It was the ice popping out the wood with the mouth.
Seems to bond with organic matter. You saw it. Mhm. Hundreds of years of searching. Did I read hundreds of years?
Yes. Bro,
you look like you take life serious on that edge. Damn. You see his neck? Yeah. Something got him or almost got him. [Music] I could replace you just like Oh, did you hear the words?
Yeah. [Music] Question answered, but it’s still my first time. I like that perspective. I copied him. Exact. I thought the music was going to make him like do something crazy. Now sometimes these symbiots, you hit the right note, start lashing out, slicing things. You thinking of Venom?
Carnage. But yeah, it’s close. Close.
I was think of the symbiot. I actually never think of Carnage.
Only cuz I said slicing cuz he’s
Yeah. No, he does do the slicing. He does. He’s just always second to Venom to me. Yes. Yes, he is.
Poor thing.
But because I’m assuming this thing is heinous. I don’t view Venom as heinous also. But Carnage, heinous individual.
I saw like a futuristic Spider-Man or whatever. Long story short, both them [ __ ] was heinous in that cartoon of Spider-Man. Venom is supposed to be heinous. I know that. But
that Eddie Brock got you. Not Eddie Brock. Tom Hardy.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All forms of Venom. Honestly, even the cartoon one, he was trying to kill Spider-Man, but not really.
But he really wasn’t about that life. He was acting like it. This here is interesting cuz I was expecting it to threaten him right away, but no. My first time being human. I love it. And then he says, “Don’t make me kill. I don’t want to kill you.” It’s like, “Oh, but you will.” Oh, okay. Noted.
Yeah. Like he may enjoy the happy things, but it doesn’t mean it’s a good person. But this happy memories is great. Don’t think we have to kill you. I want to live like this.
It’s like, yeah, some of my friends are wood, some of them are tires. It’s miserable. Like, we don’t get any of these emotions you guys talk of. [Music] H. Yeah. Meet and more. Oh, you see the thing behind them?
Like it’s like a emotion for him.
Yeah.
Oh, I thought there was TV back there.
Me, too.
Oh, that’s hilarious. I thought it was a real TV, bro.
Me, too. kind of looks like Benny Mar from Forest. You listen to what he said, right?
Yeah. This cat looks at him as Oh, never mind. How did you react to the cat? That’s Oh, yes. Cat’s like, “I’m getting cat even trapped.”
Yo, yo, the hamster thing makes sense now. Animals know. That’s why he had the hamster. Yo, it was running away. It was running away. Good. I’m proud of you on that one.
I’m not. [Music] What was that about?
Did she have six sense? Oh, was this not the lady who just got saved with the hamster dude?
I don’t know. I wish I paid attention more to the the victims. Same, but this one’s not scared of you. He’s getting fed up.
He’s getting fed up.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There it is. The
is finally kicking in. You don’t mean that. Don’t snap though. Yeah. It’s like this thing is using you. Hunter. Hunter. Master. Master. He as soon as he left the island. Yeah. E. Oh my god. This old lady knows. She knows that the demon just hit the cat.
Non sama has come down from the mountain. She knows.
Oh, you know. All right, Terminator, your ass got to go.
I knew it’s not a friendly being in my opinion. At least my gut told me so. This is weird. It still got a pulse, right? It looked like he was dying or something. Oh, so we have to find out why he died regardless.
Someone killed him.
Yeah, we kind of do. What was he going Who was he going up there to meet for what purpose? And why was it such a secret? And his eyes missing. In Hickor’s memories, did you like me? No. Like y’all both he’s crying.
Oh, that’s that’s spicy. Wow.
The other him won’t even say it, but this one will. I wonder I don’t even know what to do with that. It’s like my wife didn’t, but you do. Huh? Huh? Yo, he doesn’t know if he said anything wrong or nothing. He’s just like h Oh, his sister’s not going to school at all, bro. He’s probably more stomach pills. Oh, he crew wanted to go take her out. I ain’t open it up. What else is he supposed to do? Oh my god, this place is crazy. Do you know what he’s doing to this lady? Can you sense it? No way in hell. Spitting. [Music] This is so freaky. What am I looking at? Please leave her alone. Oh, never mind. She’s gone. She kind of look like something herself, but what? What? Listen to me. It went in her mouth. I got whatever. You got to be looking at your friend Hickaroo funny after this, buddy. They got it.
Blocked off like that. Oh no. Oh no. Why? Why are you next? [Music] But the boy something with the boy. Oh, y’all knew. Oh, this town knew. There’s a newig cigarettes. I remember those speakers. [Music] Wow. It’s crazy what the last and I mean this 45 seconds told you.
Oh, I’m next. Why you next? Yo, whatever we did didn’t work. Those people in the village, they don’t know what they doing. A week is gone. I’m thinking Hiccore got killed by somebody. There’s a reason. Yo, he was a sacrifice that mountain god and it didn’t go right cuz somebody botched it and instead of sacrificing
why would a sacrifice have his eye potentially going up
that’s why I think that’s why I think something went wrong I think he the kid was supposed to go into mountains he was he didn’t really tell nobody he knew supposed to go there I’m I’m under impression the adults like yo we need you to do something send him up there he’s supposed to get sacrificed or disappeared something supposed to happen they knew it was supposed to happen and it just went wrong it just went wrong And now they know they’ve unleashed something. That’s where I’m going with these adults in this town know they know.
So it sound like the old lady I thought the old lady was crazy but maybe she was not as crazy but she knows that that boy is supposed to be dead and she sees him walking around.
It’s when she said the nonuk name immediately like oh damn no you’re not going to take me. She ran in. I was like y’all know what y’all did. I She knows exactly what the hell’s going on. She didn’t mean nothing other than she set eyes and she was like oh [ __ ] And then she felt the aura. She was like, “Oh, hell no.” Took off. That thing knew that thing. They whatever cosmic eye contact they made in that moment, that thing knew. And she knew it was coming back for her. They they messed up.
Yeah. He It’s like he knew her, too. Oh. Mhm.
So, right now, is the in your does your gut tell you that the monster is bad? The people are bad?
Both. Both of them.
That’s the third answer.
Both of them. Both of them. I don’t know if the monster is inherently bad, but it’s monster. It’s a monster.
He said, “I’m not a ghost. I’m a monster.
I’m just doing whatever.” Yo, he he didn’t just say a monster. I’m a sick monster. The worst of the worst. I’ll take your skin, [ __ ] Eat your whole [ __ ] family, son. Like, I’m not just a monster. I’m a sick monster. I’m
in the world of monsters. That sounds pretty dope, though. That’s how monsters ain’t supposed to be. Them [ __ ] turned soft. So, I think you’re on to something in the world of monsters. Yeah. I was him. I was him, bro. Yeah. Yeah. This is This is why you’re not supposed to mess in the occult. The occult can exist. No, I’m dead ass. The oult will exist around you as long as you don’t interact. Your mom told you the same thing. Yo, just run. Don’t even look back. Don’t acknowledge it. Just pretend like it’s not there. Or if you really feel like you want to do something, hit with the Holy Spirit, some holy, some water, some sage. Get it the [ __ ] up out of there. But it’s either you ignore it or you exercise it. Those are your two options. If you just dabble and give into it, yo, you’re cooked, bro. And these people, whatever they did, they dabbled in it, bro.
I don’t know why the occult sounds like such a fire phrase, but lately it does. Yo, these [ __ ] with the oult like, “Yo, stay away.” Like, it just it just sounds like this is dabbling and [ __ ] bro.
Yeah, I don’t have too much to say. Uh, the concept is wild. Well, actually, I do have a lot to say. Taking your wanting your loved one so bad that you accept a form that has their memories and so that you could see them again is is like a form of grief in in an odd way. I could see him going through the stage like, “Yo, you’re not you’re not you’re not them.” But in the moment, I don’t remember the main character’s name, but in the moment the main character was like, “Now Hickor is dead and I’m tired this creature.” He asked about the love thing and the creature was like, “Yeah, I care.” Well, he didn’t say love. I always paraphrase and change meanings of words.
I like you.
I like you. So, forget love. He said, “Like you.” He’s like, “Damn, dog. The homie never said that to me.
I never leave.” And it’s really just holding on. And then you may not act like Hikaroo, but there was something from Hikaru I wanted and you might give me that. I don’t know, man.
