The initial episode of The Summer Hikaru Died has been released on Netflix, receiving widespread acclaim from anime enthusiasts. Viewers have commented on the high-quality animation, calling it among the most beautiful recent anime. The story follows Yoshiki Tsujinaka, a teenager in rural Japan, and his best friend Hikaru Indo, who meets a tragic fate and becomes possessed by an entity. As 'Hikaru' attempts to live as Yoshiki's friend, their altered relationship raises questions about its future dynamics. The series subtly incorporates LGBTQ+ themes that unfold gradually.
Absolute cinema, proclaimed one fan, sharing a Martin Scorsese meme.
Can we talk how INSANEEEEEEEEEEEEEE the animation is??? This is genuinely one of the prettiest anime I've seen lately.
As a manga reader, The Summer Hikaru Died ep could not have been better; it perfectly set the tone for what's to come.
It's not clear what 'Hikaru' is, but it admits he's using the boy's body to live as a human for the first time.
