Summer Time Rendering (2022) User Reviews

RE: ZERO But Good

[vanwel-98077 · 8/10 · 20 September 2022]

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.

Absolutely fantastic. Noithing new but definitely very very well executed.

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.

Unique Story indeed! 10/10

[Albi7297 · 20 August 2022]

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! 👏🏼

Great, must watch !

[strpiyush · 10/10 · 25 June 2022]

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.

Great time travel anime

[schummes · 10/10 · 12 June 2022]

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.

Fantastic anime !!

[Cookiejar55 · 10/10 · 10 June 2022]

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 !

Only one episode out and it's already promising to be quiet the series

[GibbsDuhemEquation · 10/10 · 15 April 2022]

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.

Besta anime in the multiverse

Summer time Rendering at its best

[niranjankumarrocks · 10/10 · 28 May 2022]

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.

Time Travel Thriller

[Mabkid · 7/10 · 27 November 2022]

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.

Like Watching Paint Dry

[kpatterson-18028 · 3/10 · 26 January 2023]

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!!!!

One of the greatest isekai

[laaxxn · 10/10 · 12 May 2022]

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.

Really interesting anime

[TheInsightfulReviewer · 10/10 · 16 April 2022]

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

Amazing !!!

[oubmathys · 10/10 · 18 September 2022]

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.

Whats with the Hype?

[farshidkarimi · 6/10 · 12 November 2022]

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.

UNDERRATED

[gzrd-42199 · 10/10 · 5 February 2023]

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.

Better read the manga

[AlAensland · 7/10 · 15 September 2022]

I don't mind if everyone doesn't agree with me, but the anime is less scarier than the manga. The anime is loss of feel when it comes to horror and drama feelings. Shinpei's scream on ep 19 is like, there's no feeling. The Scratch on face in the manga makes it more feeling to what happen on Shinpei. Even though i'm so happy that they're bring like Keichi Okabe (NieR composer) and MONACA staff to score the ost of the anime. Yeah it's fresh, but i rather recommend to read the manga to get more experience, even though there's no sound and just word and word. The Manga, 9/10. Anime 7/10, it's still decent but ain't perfect.

Value for money and time

Anime more than wonderful

[yassinelmssrah · 10/10 · 6 July 2023]

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.

Deserves more recognition

[seriouspark · 10/10 · 19 November 2022]

I've fleetingly heard about this anime in the summer and decided to give it a try once it finished airing and now that the moment finally arrived I just have to say that I regret not doing it earlier, it was brilliant.

I'm not usually a fan of time travelling anime's but the combination of drama and mystery seemed really interesting and in the end it works out great. The animation and voices are superb, the story is fantastic even though you expect 'that ending' you end up holding your breath for it. Overall it's a short anime but so well done, i end up with that sad feeling that there isn't more of it, so yes, i know it was a very good one.

The sad thing is it didn't receive the recognition it deserved in my opinion, but if by chance you end up reading this then yes - with all my heart give it a chance, it's just awesome.

One of my all time favorites now

[lincolnkness · 10/10 · 2 February 2023]

The animation is great and throughout the entire storyline there was never a point where I felt bored. With all the different mysteries and plot lines that were revealed up until the final moments of the show I felt that I was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what was going to happen up until literally the final 30 seconds of the show. Furthermore I felt that there were never any characters that got annoying at any point and there was never a sense of a "useless" character. The show also does not go over the top when it came to fan service, which I feel ruins shows for me when they focus too much and ruin the story. I highly recommend this anime!

Best time travel anime so far

[aniketgajbhiye-95531 · 10/10 · 1 December 2022]

Summertime render, a mystery story on an original exotic island in Japan. The MC takes some day on this island cuz his childhood friend died on weird circumstances. As he originally planned to leave the island after the funerals, he decides to stay after learning that all his friends are endangered. Some old traditional beliefs of the locals are more than just beliefs...

What do I think of those 4 first episodes ?

I've hardly seen an exotic setup on a japenese island like that. I've got some names in my head but it's really rare. It's really pleasant with the upcoming summer to travel a little bit.

The story is a masterpiece, there is a similar thing to RE zero with the timeloop when the MC dies, i kept getting surprised after every episode.

Characters seem interesting aswell. The MC is beautifully designed (art is really beautiful and people are recognizable and distinguishable from other animes). He's got that original haircut instead of the classic and overused random asiatic man haircut. He's brave and smart.

Mio is a cheerful girl trying to discover why her sister died while spending time with the MC. She frequently puts her hairs behind her ears, it's a sort of gimmick but it's really good because it enhances the animation and it gives her special characteristics to make her more memorable.

Not going to talk about others because we've seen them few times only.

I'm really impatient knowing that story and I believe it has the potentiel to be one of the best anime.

Masterpiece

[akashdeb-94800 · 10/10 · 30 September 2022]

I have been watching this anime from the beginning in a weekly basis. It's been 25 weeks journey. What a wonderful anime. They used time loop, parallel universe concepts in a very good way. It has mystery and thriller in some parts. And it has good pace and engaging plot. This anime graves your attention from the beginning.

And next it's animation, it's beautiful. The bgm is perfect. And both end credit songs are perfect, just perfect. Ushio Shinpe are one of my favourite couple in anime, yeah I know it's not a rom-com series, and have less romantic plot. But they look so good together.

Villain, i just loved Shide's voice. This show creates perfect classic villain, this show made villain so strong, at the end the winning of the protagonist seems so satisfying. Unlike other shows, they created last episode, just to rap up everything in a perfect way, and it was needed, all painful journey needs a perfect relaxing ending. And this anime delivered that. This anime is so underrated now. I'll definitely recommend to everyone to watch once. You won't regret it.
