【Anime Reaction】Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu/The Summer Hikaru Died/光が死んだ夏 1-4 ! Horror Anime ?
Hello and welcome to another anime reaction stream. Today we’ve got another anime because it is October. Uh and luckily we’ve got a recent anime. It is from summer last season or the summer died. Uh yeah, it was something I was thinking of watching anyway. And since it is a recent anime, I was thinking I guess perfect. I’ll watch it. Uh it didn’t win any poll or anything but since again it seems kind of relevant to right now I decided to do it. Um well as ways we’ll see if I like it or I can say or anime are not like super common you know. Uh I haven’t seis I guess it’s someone called that died. Uh I know there’s only a second season announced. Uh when is it? It’s coming out. Oh unknown. Okay. So maybe in a long time. Uh but yeah, hopefully it’s good. All I can say, uh the video isn’t too much for anime that are great. So yeah, anyway, as always, link in the description for my discord if you want to follow me. Uh the link to my stream and patreon as well where you can support me, request reaction, vote in polls or like anime movie show reaction. Otherwise, what can I say? Eyes by side games picture. The manga has been running since 2021. by Moen. I guess they have very new manga. Um they had one shot before that and that’s it. Yeah. Okay. Um review seems pretty good. Uh who’s directing this? Uh let’s see. Uh Takish Talioish. What has he done as a director? A lot of episode director on a lot of stuff. [Music] Yeah, a lot of experience as episode director. Uh, mostly. Oh, he was the director for Jellyfish Consume at night. That’s a good one. Okay. Well, then I’ve got some confidence. Okay. But yeah, again, I don’t really know much more than that. The title makes me think of something like um like the movie, you know, I know what you did last summer, you know, like maybe some kid is being killed by other kid by accident or something and then they try to hide it and uh either it’s like, you know, there someone trying to prove the truth or someone some killer coming back that might be the kid that died or something. I don’t know. That’s my assumption. But again, I haven’t really heard anything about the story of this. So, we’re going to find out. As always, time reaction. Uh, so you bring your own version, watch alongside me. This is the timer reaction page. Um, my episode starts with the Netflix logo uh and then right away into a Netflix series and then into the anime. So, since about like 10 second of the Netflix, depending on where you watch, you might not have the Netflix lovers, I guess. Actually, you should, but I don’t know. Uh, so my episode one is 23 minutes and 9 seconds. I think we should get into it. Um, episode one in five 4 3 2 1 go. Netflix says Rain January 2020. Whoa. Is that what it is? They’re going to kill him. Sky stuff. What is that? That’s wood. That’s wood. This visual is crazy. Okay. Where the cool start village always is the best kind of setup as a little village. city. Graces. We should want to talk about Oh, interesting. Yeah. Is it really him or is he processed or is it a topple ganger? Isn’t he negative? Are you Whoa. I didn’t think we’d do something this fast. This would be more of a build up of a 44 episode. I mean, maybe you can dig this thing. I don’t know. Okay. Interesting. It definitely has that teasing vibe like Is this Yoi? It feels like Yoi. Okay. Interesting. Feels weird because the fact that we were revealed so early that it’s a a copy of him. Like what’s the story now? He’s going to try to live with him until realizing it’s not right. And maybe I have to fight this thing. Where can this story be taken that I don’t expect is the question. Replacement. emotive. I want the resist. A different. Okay. Hope things cool. There’s another singer. Got a monster in the still detects monster. Nice. So, there’s going to be more monsters. of the extension. There must be more people noticing is different, right? That’s a cool [ __ ] So, is that a scene a lot of people do? They try to hide that danger. Not face. Yes, such a del. It’s a very animated show. What is this? EDK. So the only threat I’m expecting is yeah like some other people in this thing is different and then I guess this monster examination side thing. Man, I love this kind of Japanese countryside. Even though this kind of like small Japanese countryside village is often used for like or stuff, I kind of love the peacefulness of it. If that makes sense. All right, It’s something that other people say. I wish I could experience this like the first time again. You can tell that’s surprise. H. Did she feel something weird? Okay. Don’t you just question it? It seems okay with it. That’s in the way. Is this like where I should have sent off? Is that your name? Was he killed? Was it an accident? It’s really the classic. You know, you can’t deal with grief, so you’re willing to accept this even though it’s obviously not a good thing. Oh, boys. She looks like a zombie. [ __ ] Wait, is it going to take more and more people over or something? What’s new? Oh, I see. This is like saying the music. I love this song. That’s it. All right. I’m intrigued. But I’m intrigued. I’m guessing it’s basically they have like some kind of a for a long time they’ve known as some creature or god that they appease by sacrificing someone probably that’s what it was kof but this time the creature took over the body rather than just be not do anything I assume is it that kind of plot it might be that kind of plot interesting It’s definitely not what I expected. I don’t know why I expected it would be like more of a slow burn kind of thing. Um, you know, like the kind of or story where it slowly builds up that something is wrong. Um, and just gives you a bit of breadcrumbs slowish. This was kind of the opposite of that. It’s um kind of like your typical modern trying to crumb as much as you can on the first episode to get people as interested as possible, you know, which makes it that, you know, it’s not that scary because again, we’re just given so much of the info right away. We already got a good idea of what’s going on. Like the monster itself introduce itself and explain itself a little bit. So, while it might not be that scary, I like the setup. The show looks amazing. Like some of the 3D um the detail of like the countryside village, the rusted part. It looks really amazing. This might be like the best show I’ve seen from Syame. Um, I’m intrigued how we’re going to get a lot of episode out of this because it already seems like so advanced, you know, like it feels like it would be a 12 episode show max, you know, cuz you know, it already feels like the plot has already advanced. What would be advanced in usually like a couple episode? I don’t know, maybe it’s just me. Yeah. So let’s see where it goes. Uh is a two in five 4 3 2 one go. Definitely a crazy start. Yeah, we’re just going to think of that. What kind of vision is he getting? He’s cute, so it’s fine. He can murder everybody. He’s cute, so it’s fine. I got I guess B to already get the monster killer coming opening. Yeah. The base on this song. Is that woman’s mom? Maybe. I’m sure she would be able to tell. Is that attack on Tatan? And this video looks insanely good. I guess for like TV anime, this is the best game has done. Otherwise, the best one is definitely the movie with. But for TV anime, this is a new level for Obviously know it’s like theation it Yeah. Oh, hell no. It’s that bad. She’s cute. Some energy maybe. Isn’t he afraid of I see? I guess you’re not scared of monsters when you don’t yourself. Like the way you can see the sun showing the dust flying around. Was it gone before? There’s some law there. find any forest. It’s still kind of scary. That’s when I was young. I watched too many horror movies with stuff in the forest and I used to always go to the forest and that kind of spooked me as forest. It’s on. No. Okay. Because it get easier, I guess. Why does the M still s the monsters? Oh, What? Oh, it’s long neck lady. Do something. Okay. So, there’s more monsters in this than just what a ve is. Didn’t expect that. Whoa. Ready. Among us in Indo somewhere Just like That’s in any other context. This will be a romance line. Don’t look at anyone else but me. This is definitely some pretty v I mean, I’m not into Yi, especially myself, but I can see how this would be very late for Yan. This is good. Why does it sound like a scream? Don’t get on X. is what is a lot of um beauty mark what it’s called do. Yeah. Okay. Uhhuh. So, does it work if it’s a dude or is the are the demon, you know, homophobic seen the uh together in the fourth room. It’s going to get you can see it. I don’t see it. I don’t want to see it. I don’t want to see it. [ __ ] that. This isn’t this type of sticking in that we should be doing. I’m sure someone thinks this is a door. It’s really like um like a body suit of skin. The [ __ ] am I watching? G having a field day with this. That’s like the sickest [ __ ] I’ve seen recently. Can’t we just not do this? I am freaked out. Like the scene wasn’t graphic per se, but the idea of it was just disgusting. So good scene, I guess. Oh, the lady from the opening. Just shut up. This is the true all of the truth them. Nice to see the traumatiz as me. That’s 3D. I mean, it literally penetrated the thing, so I think it’s already mixed with it. Sonatic Charisma. Because it’s among us now. What kind of case have you seen? Like I understand that he can’t deal with his friend being dead and I guess if the dup ganganger was like a perfect dup girl okay but with the weird [ __ ] we’ve seen and you know shoving your arm inside of him um yeah At that point, I’m not seeing you as my friend anymore. You’re not one you one bit. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me. Oh, ending. This episode went by the second. Oh, real footage. Um, your monster by only until six as if. Okay. Looking at this footage, I wonder if like the village is a real place kind of like in Iguodashi, you know, in Mizawa is not real per se, but it’s based on a real village, which looks very similar. Unfortunately, like a lot of this kind of like surrounded by mountain small countryside Japanese village, they all look very similar. So, this show is fast. like it really is not in our show that is building or you know like rather than making something tense by slowly building the scales. Um we just go straight to it you know we go into forest there’s a long neck lady we go like and then we just shove arm up our friend and not in a good way. um the show doesn’t care about like establishing or you know it’s less like um what’s the word for it? It’s less spooky or it’s more like disgusting or maybe. But the stuff with the long neck is um pretty interesting. I wonder if we’re going to have like a lot of classic Yuka your your bandage on stuff, you know, um that are going to mix with all this. I frankly like now I’m not really sure where the show is going to go anymore because you know it feels like, you know, we’re going fast, you know, we have like a monster exterminator already here, you know, and there’s a bunch of people who already know that he is weird. It just feels like things are moving so fast, you know. Yeah. Otherwise, again, I’m insanely impressed with the quality of this. I mean, I don’t know what happened with side game, but uh you know, the anime used to be good-look enough, you know. I mean, even years ago, you go back to Princess Connect, it was very decent, but I don’t think they were ever this good. But I guess recently, you know, they probably have still a lot of a lot more money into the the animation studio, right? Um, and it’s showing between the stuff and and this they’ve like really stepped up their level. It’s kind of awesome, you know. Yeah, we’re really like, you know, golden hour of anime in terms of like there’s a lot of studio right now that are like great for um visual and animation. You can argue that a lot of like the show they make in term of story maybe or you can say the acting or something maybe aren’t always that great but in ter of like the basic level of like a lot of the big studio now um they’ve all really increased like the level of animation background art style has been really climbing you know from like games to clever works um dogu and you know mappa and a bunch of them right they’re consistently putting quality of animation that you know 10 years ago um we would get one show like that a season with this level of quality you know and now we’re getting like multiple it’s kind of insane. Yeah. So good stuff is what I’m saying in five 4 3 2 1 go. Okay. This is funny. opening. So yeah, like I have no idea where we’re going now. like feels like the kind of thing where like in a story it almost feels like well it is so advanced that you know many times things could explode and almost end to a climax and yet again uh I know the manga has been going on for four years and that the second season announced so that’s probably not what what’s going to happen. Yeah. I don’t know what to think, which is good. I mean, I do like not being able to predict. I’ve watched too many anime at this point. And uh, you know, for fun, I maybe too accurate on predicting stuff. And there’s a bit of fun in that, but also it’s nice to be more blind. I don’t know. [Music] Then So that’s the moment. Man, the way they blend this 3D element is so well done. It’s supposed like you can tell it’s 3D, but it’s blending for real. Where is your old So the n doesn’t see anything different. I’m weirdly way too impressed with this fan. How good it looks. It’s really the art of making the 3D Feet in your style. Smash. He doesn’t want to smash. What question do you have? Interace isn’t that different. It’s like gy shen energy. He’s doing a good job mimicking the facility. See? Thanks, I guess. So then I was implying that he actually did like him. That’s No way last long with this kind of sinking. Don’t leave your [ __ ] phone with the demon. It’s like, are you genuinely scared or not? Why would you leave your phone with a demon? You deserve to die. I always saying I love saying that in all movies. Maybe I’m jumping the gun. Stupid mistake, but not the worst yet. I feisted my friend and uh I didn’t fist it fist him in the right hole if you know what I mean. was more in the front where you shouldn’t fe Where you So I guess the implication is that whatever this is usually you just try to seduce someone. So it’s usually like a guy and a girl like a fair enough. forget which is we need. Sounds like a butterfly pet though little bit. You should be married. That’s where she lost. Yeah, this is a t thing monster. Like what do you want him to do? Like genuinely tell him what to do. Done. I can say for Well, yeah. If you do anything, it’s going to have to kill you. It’s more terrifying than anything knowing what you are. You should want to do that to a monster. The only logical thing to do would be protecting I don’t know. Well, the only really logical thing to do is leaving, running away. move. It’s just Yeah, obviously seems logical. Can you understand the concept as a monster? You want to die? I was going to say I guess he might not kill him because the feelings left for me. That’s probably the only thing that’s keeping him from self-preservation. Killing him. Yeah. B Kimi. Okay, good for you. Like a monster just raping you every old. If it’s Kimi Kimi, I mean, good for you. Was that maybe the shrink dead? Okay. The only reason it’s alive is because again all the Ku had the strong feelings and I guess they’re passed on to this thing. Yeah. Okay. I mean, I don’t think that’s part of the problem. He’s really not acknowledging the abuse problem. Like, it’s already he killed someone, the old lady. Like, you can’t tell me he hasn’t made the connection. He saw the exchange and the next day she was dead. I mean, he just tried to stuff me with the stack holes, but everything is fine otherwise. I feel a bit bad for the creature because it seems very childish and less. This place I mean, don’t tend to call me anymore and we’re good. Maybe he’s still pushing the Y like when you know what this thing is. I can’t complain. If this was you, I would say this is amazing. So, I just wish some of my uni show adaptation were this good. Seriously, it is a child. Yeah. So the first thing you should tell him is don’t kill anyone. But I left a marker. That’s what I was thinking. Like I was thinking that on one side, you know, exterminating this thing might be the most logical thing to do, but on the other hand, yeah, it is a very childish creature. Um, and because IU was a nice guy and it’s inheriting a lot of the feelings from, it might be potential into turning this thing nice. I already killed someone, so you might say it’s too late. But yeah, there’s potential. Like right now, if we look at it as like it’s an animal, all it did was self-preservation, right? It knows that it’s um masking itself as a human, but it’s not. And that if the human find out, well, his life is in danger. So, kind of like, you know, I don’t know, a predator attacking something in it in its, you know, in its terish. I guess you could say this was just a natural act of nature or something. So if um his thoughts, you know, don’t kill people, maybe like it can work out. But I don’t think the show would go that easy, right? But that makes some sense to me. At the same time, I don’t know. Maybe this read of like it being just a childish thing is wrong. there like a lot of lore and backstory of this thing um with a flash of like the woman holding a head that looks like it’s from like 100 years years old. So we just don’t know enough about this thing right now. It’s definitely seems like it’s more like a like very childish. So it could be touch right. But that would be too easy. Let’s see what happen uh episode 4. Let’s go. But yeah, I’m definitely loving the show. I was a bit worried, you know, I think it’s known that a lot of or great and well, this is definitely one that’s not great as far as like being scary in a more like common way, you know? Uh this is more like like over the top, right? There’s no buildup to the scariness, you know, like someone walking at night hearing a noise or something. Like all of the so far has been straight in your face with no buildup and not making you build dread, per se. But I think this is pretty interesting. Yeah. So, episode four in five, 4, 3, 2, one, go. It’s nice. What does that mean? All right. I guess he probably cannot fix his relationship with animals. Like it’s often said animals have a s Which is why I’m guessing as an amster the other dude. Um I guess it’s easier to carry a cage with an amster than a dog or a cat or something. Yeah. Or maybe there’s some other special reason. But yeah, animals can sense stuff that are weird. So I guess with the M like if it starts running in its wheel very fast like it’s trying to run away, it’s indicating that something is wrong. I guess that’s the point. And by the way, yeah, it’s been two episode. We haven’t touched on the investigator again. Like he should literally be here. And they’ve already dropped the name, right? It’s kind of interesting how like there’s this divide in the brain of the creature like on one side it does have the memory and feelings of ikaru but I guess they’re like there’s still some kind of like break in the connection so they’re not automatically maybe pulled upon when he’s thinking of something like for example First time with this new version, he will eat a food that he might have eaten. I don’t know how it works. Like, is it when it touches it that maybe the memory like activate? I don’t know. I wonder it works. summer festival. Okay. So she is a toboy. That’s what I thought. Let’s go. You know, this will be perfect if this is Yuri. We have Y and Yuri. So everybody is happy. Well, except you know, homophobly, but How many f disconnected the mic? I was going to say I’m really afraid to boy is next to the she seems to feel all this a lot more. Best start to open at some of his Oh, we’re back to this Hey alo did okay as they didn’t put two and two together they think it’s normal ku okay fair Yoshi was not going in. Back story, please. Maybe don’t touch my sister. Like, I’m still a bit scared of you, dude. Is the ritual that you go to kill yourself? Is that what it is? Or you go get killed? 200 years. Remind me so much of the second season of then I mean, it’s a thing with some nonchalant character actually being great at I don’t get it. Is it someone’s head? Is it so small? Skulls don’t shrink with time or something. No, thank you. is like town oak montine I guess. Explain the law. Oh [ __ ] Yay. Does he have a limit? He can get out. He’s tied to the shrine, I guess. Oh, no. It’s just the guy. Okay. Okay. See, it’s like that little moment there that makes me think he’s not as nuisant as he portrays. Is the innocence an actor? not all the time. What is this? Okay. I guess for the creation, maybe it wants to maybe be like more for himself than for being like the person he took over. If that makes sense. He also can feel creatures. So, what do you have? I was going to say like oh cuz fake Ku acted pretty well like really ku in the end. At first, I thought he didn’t, but from the flashback we saw, they seem the same. is sort of the body. He said wood. I totally forgot about that already. Why is there like a super like only sculpture in wood? Like no explanation. Did he fall or did he get hit by someone? Something or did he throw himself? If it’s some kind of So he walked somewhere. Okay. But that wouldn’t tell you he’s a monster. I would just assume that he wasn’t that dead and they revived him with CPR or something. Yeah. Interesting. That’s what it is. Whether you live in a village, a city, an apartment building. I’ve gone to that a few time. Once you’re known, you’re known. Everybody talks behind your back. Oh, they haven’t saying that. Everybody from the countryside wants to move to the city. Everybody from the city wants to go to the countryside. The grass is always greener on the other side. I guess now is really making himself realize yeah like this isn’t IU one bit maybe I can still see it as someone else but I have to accept IU’s for this. And then what is the creator’s goal? Just like live among human that’s it. Oh, whatan did you sacrifice? Use someone else’s organ. cuz it’s in someone. Doesn’t that make sense? I see they didn’t get there yet. They didn’t think of that yet. Oh, so she’s like And that’s the place to s I guess. ending. I mean the simple thing is like we see it’s body killed but like you know if Mr. main character like realize that he did that, he could try to like teach him to not kill people. So the next time someone seems so so it doesn’t just kill them. But then we still have the hunter to deal with. I don’t see any good ending for any of this. It’s like it seems like the goal of the creature is just to live among human. At least for now, that’s what it seems. It doesn’t seem like it needs to eat human or something. But yet, I don’t know. There’s no way any of this sounds well. I’ll be safe. Good show so far. I’m into it. I hope it stays good. I’m a bit worried because again I feel like they’ve already won so much in just four episode. Like where can we go from here than just the escalation of um escalation of like more people find out about him and he kills them and this again. So he fell. That’s it. It didn’t seem like then he was going to kill himself. So, what was the ritual then? Interesting. My thought was that again maybe their family was tasked with doing a sacrifice every once in a while and that’s what the dad did. He just went sacrifice himself to keep the thing or whatever. But no, it doesn’t seem like that’s what it was. Ikaru was going there pretty happy it seemed and he was carrying something. So maybe there’s an easier way to keep things in check. But I guess he just slipped and died. So good job I mean not his fault but dumb. Um interesting. Obviously I guess the only thing that kind of dripping is the law. Like I’m sure the old men’s they know a lot more and I guess they’re going to keep telling it through the episode even though you know they could have already said everything to the guy like they would make sense to tell him everything right away. Um interesting what I can say this is a blast so far. Um so I guess next stream I’ll probably watch the the last eight and then I guess we’ll all be sad and wait for season 2 which um might be 2026 2027 I don’t know. I guess the monkey hasn’t finished either. So yeah. Yeah. Ah man, that’s right. Even if you get season two, it might not even finish things. It doesn’t feel like the type of story that’s going to be insanely long. I have no idea how many chapter there is already. Let’s see. There is discussion go up to 40. Okay. Yeah. I don’t think it’s going to be like insanely long. It’s already been going on for four years. So yeah, this kind of story I feel like just a couple more years and it might be done. You know, like a 60 70 chapter manga maybe. I don’t know. Again, I have no idea where we are taking this. like feel like there’s so much more like this potential to either like go very narrow focusing on just you know uh the creature inside of or again they’ve already introduced that there might be other monsters in Yukai. So with that there could be a lot of like um fillering if you will like fer stories of dealing with stuff like that. I don’t know. I don’t really know what to expect, but yeah, I like it quite a bit. Um, she looks amazing. Side game. I’m really killing it with this. Um, the idea is interesting. It’s maybe not as much of like psychological or show as I would have wanted, you know, like more slow in establishing the the scare. You know, it’s a show that’s very in your face. Most of the a has been like just dropped on us and in the end it doesn’t feel like is building dread. It’s more like visual or I guess but it’s fine. Yeah. You know like I was thinking of another show like this somewhat um you know the setup of like isolated village in Japan things happening. um if you haven’t very much recommend the enemy shikish and I won’t say anything else that it is same kind of setup with a small village and things happening but that show does the opposite style of or storytelling uh it’s a very slow buildup of dread of mysteries of questions um it doesn’t throw everything in your face right away which you know is a different style so yeah just recommending it I always want to recommend shikish and I guess in some way this also reminds me in many ways. Yeah, without saying more than that. Okay, so next week we’ll finish it. Um, hope you guys enjoyed the reaction. Like, subscribe, comment. As always, I’ll see you guys next time. See you soon.
