The Animation (Amazon Prime)

Speaking of Netflix anime, another talked about series this season is The Summer Hikaru Died. The series follows best friends Yoshiki and Hikaru, except this is not the same Hikaru that Yoshiki grew up with. It’s a mysterious creature that took the form of Hikaru and Yoshiki accepts it for now as part of his grief. CygamesPictures, the studio known for Apocalypse Hotel and Brave Bang Bravern!, is behind this anime adaptation. It’ll be interesting to see how Yoshiki keeps up this facade as the season progresses. The Summer Hikaru Died is available now on Netflix.

Gachiakuta (Crunchyroll)

One of the most anticipated shonen this summer season is here with Gachiakuta. The series follows Rudo, a young boy who lives in the slums surrounding a somewhat perfect society. He is mistakenly accused of murder and it leads to him being thrown into a gaping abyss where all the trash in this society is dumped. Bones Film, the studio behind the recent My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, will be heading animation for this series. Gachiakuta has all you need for action-packed shonen, so expect some flash action sequences as Rudo seeks revenge throughout the season. Gachiakuta is available now on Crunchyroll.

Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 (Crunchyroll)

Finally, the highly anticipated Kaiju No. 8 is back with Season 2! Last we saw Kafka and the Third Division, there was major destruction after the climatic battle. As rebuilding takes place, the crew is split up for what seems to be training opportunities. Production I.G. returns to helm animation production, so we’ll see more glorious Kaiju battle action as the season progresses. Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 is available now on Crunchyroll.
