Summer time render is one of those hidden anime gems that one doesn't find very often. The story while it has already been told before in other anime, it is certainly my favorite time travel anime one as of current. I'll get my gripes with the series out of the way first. My major overall gripe would be that Ushio becomes somewhat convienient for the plot towards the back half and I would've liked for the author to difine her and other shadow's powers more because they just kind of come out of nowhere and also the big baddie's motivatiuon was very cliche and would've like d more insight into him and his backstory. . But other than that this anime is fantastic. The plot is brilliant with this on edge antcipation that comes with each episode, even turining a simple hallway becomes eeire and the air fills with tension. While the chracters don't tread any new ground they are all very likeable, especially ushio and shinpei. Seeing their relationship develop further throughout the series was heartwarming and they genuinely have chemistry. Mio was a good character, would've liked to see more of her but otheriwse she was a good chracter. I thought the whole dynamic between hizuru and her brother was a cool flair to the trope of two personalities in one body. Sou was probably the weakest out of all of the cast, he didn't do much except for the finale but otherwise he was fine (I swear this is not a criticism it's just all of the other cast memebers are so good but I xan't spil in this review) . I think though what seals the deal for this anime is the emotional beats, it hits each one with a such suprising amount of accuracy it's hard not to admire. The series finale did make me cry a little and it was an almost prefect good ending. All in all summertime rendering is a fantastic anime for those who want to get into anime in general and one of the best time travel stories that anime has to offer.

Basically re:zero without the isekai bs, with better characters, pacing and overall story. While the show utilizes a familiar concept (time travel) it's execution is well done resulting in a thrilling show with plenty of twists that will leaving you guessing and begging for more at the end of each episode.

It's not a "once in a lifetime super masterpiece" like other reviews seem to be claiming (seriously though why does everyone these days feel the urge to call anything they remotely like a masterpiece?), but it's a great ride that's well worth your time. I do agree it's underrated and should be receiving way more attention than it's getting.

The best anime thriller with so many twists that you just want to see what comes next every episode when it airs.

Amazing characters, plot lines perfectly executed, music excellent, animation god tier, some of the plot twists or the events that happen in this anime just straight ahead shocks you and leaves you with your mouth open with 'aw' like what just happened, that good of a show.

Credit where credit is due.

Bravo! 👏🏼

Not only are the characters very likable but it's hyper focused on the supernatural and mystery.

The story keeps surprising you. I'm on episode 9 and it's not repetitive at all. There's also good character development so far.

It's one of the best anime series in recent years !

The animation is god tier, the story seems it's off a strong start, I think it's gonna be one hell of ride plus it's the only show that grabbed my attention from the pilot episode and of course spyxfamily, looking forward to watching it, it might end up being a masterpiece if executed correctly.

A new concept with great storyline, Anime creator's are literally legends.

Storyline does get divert, it sticks to the point.

You should give it a try, it's well worth your time.

Im generally a sucker for time travelling related anime. But this is one has new concept, suspense and twists and turns in a short span. One of the underrated and less talked about anime this year. Hope more people look into it. Its well worth it.

If you are a fan of steins gate, re-zero, and erased, you should check out this show. It's great; it also adds new elements that haven't been used before, so it's fresh.

That anime is one in life time super masterpiece , I promise you all ,no matter how you are ,If you are a human you wiil loose your head for it. That shuld get 10/10 I put my life on it , I dont want to spoil you all just watch it . Look I watched alot of anime and very open for genres but this .. is legit . Watch the first episode and you'll understand me . Just thank me later . Masterpiece.

It's just frakingly awesome. It has everything,love,thrill and it will blast your brain. Not like an ordinary anime. NOT GONNA SAY MORE

ITS THE BEST ANIME I HAVE EVER WATCHED

JUST THESE SIMPLE LINES.

Summer Time Rendering starts out intense and mind-blowing with an intriguing premise in a recurring time slip scenario. The protagonists discovers a supernatural evil force at work while investigating the death of his childhood friend.

What's unique is that both the protagonist and villain evolve with each repetition, making the conflict more intense as they try to outsmart each other. Not only that, the repetition timeframe shortens each time. This plot device moves the story along more intensely each time. It feels like When They Cry in Groundhog's Day.

There are some minor issues, however. The pacing is slow at times, despite the desperation of the situation. Also, the start was awesome because they show you what's happening, and audience realization is part of the wow factor. However, around the middle, there is less storytelling and just more and more explanation after explanation of what the story is or what the backstories are. Then it's just the mangaka's intentions rather than good storytelling. Finally, for a serious and dark genre, some if the fanservice humor seem out of place (should've kept it focused without frills like PsychoPass)

However, this series is still very engaging and easily bingeworthy, despite losing steam and getting wordy and overly talkative midway. An enjoyable anime in a while.

Listen to me loud and clear: A male protagonist who goes back in a time loop over the course of the first 6 episodes and never seems to learn a thing. On top of all the other nervous, goofy, bumbling, awkward stumbling anime trope it loves to showcase for young men, and it is too much nothing to even believe!!

Yes, the art and images are cool, but if you want or need the plot to move forward and progress like it has a destination, forget about it. You will never watch another anime made in the last 3-4 years that moves slower than this series. It stalls, meanders, & runs in circles. Yucky!!!!

Well well well this series is full of action,thriller,horror and a lil bit romance. All the characters in this series are well made and what to say about the VA's literally insane.you will feel their soul in their voice just majestic and definitiely the story writing is at its peak. Trust me you guys will not get a single second to take breath.literally full of suspense, unpredictable and what to say about the villain and my fav ushio they are legendary.ahh i love this series.you will literally hooked up with this series from episode 1. Trust me you will not regret a second in this series while watching.

Somone please erase my memory so i can watch it again. Love💙

Re:Zero + Higurashi basically, I love this show 10/10. Start watching this now please! Easily top 5 animes I've ever seen. If you haven't seen Re:Zero go watch that afterwards.

1st episode just came out, looks like this anime is gonna be something else, something new, something different. Really excited to see its 2nd episode. Animation is really good. Character stories seems really interesting. Looking forward for this anime.

I sleep more than wonderful, I recommend everyone to watch it. You'll have fun with every moment, every second, you'll never get bored.

An anime that carries many shocks, in the first episode you will be shocked, and in the rest of the episodes you will also be shocked, countless shocks, and more than interesting events, I recommend it, watch it you will never regret.

And the ending is more than wonderful, it left me for hours feeling an inner emptiness, an amazing ending with wonderful events before it. And the ending is more than wonderful, it left me for hours feeling an inner emptiness, an amazing ending with wonderful events before it.

And do not forget the most wonderful drawing and animation, the studio excelled in that, frankly you will never find a loophole.

This anime is so refreshing I had been searching for a good anime to binge since the recent ones I've been seeing I usually click off within the first episode, this one was a little slow the first two episodes and I almost clicked off but soemthing compelled me to keep watching and IM SO GLAD I DID! It has everything thriller romance etc everything I LOVE in an anime and what makes it worth watching! And I love that they actually added an episode of them after the aftermath most anime's just include a 2 minute section of the aftermath but it's never enough but this was sooo amazing! Def reccomend.

This anime is amazing, everything is perfect.

Whether it's the animation, the characters that are well developed and endearing, the story that is breathtaking, the openings that are bangers, the endings too, the OSTs that put us in the mood, the seiyuus who do a wonderful job. And above all, the entire manga is adapted into an anime: 13 volumes in 24 episodes.

With each episode, we have the right to a reversal of the situation.

Even the manga is very beautiful.

I've seen over 100 anime and it's definitely in my Top 5.

Don't hesitate and go watch this masterclass, you won't regret it!!!

The first episode alone is gripping.

We can't really tell you the story because otherwise we will inevitably spoil you.

Please somebody tell me who is who and what is what here in this series. I had high expectations of this series, considering the high rates and that it was a thriller. The first episode set the stage for a good story, time travel, and trying to find a murderer. However, fron episode two onward, it jumped the shark. This are repeated in a confusing way, flashbacks complicate the confusion. You do not know if a scene is NOW or the PAST. There rae senseless violence scenes or scenes of poinless fightings. Anime series should be consistent and not too confusing to allow the viweer enjoy it, not to forve the viwers move backward tens of times to understand what is going on.
