Synopsis

Since the death of his parents, Shinpei Ajiro had lived with the Kofune family and their two daughters—Mio and Ushio. Although he then left his home island to continue his education in Tokyo, Shinpei returns after Ushio tragically drowns during the attempted rescue of a little girl. During the funeral, his best friend informs him about bruises found around Ushio's neck, casting doubt over the cause of her death.

Suspecting a murder has taken place, Shinpei reevaluates recent events, but strange incidents only continue to transpire. Disappearing people and other unexplainable occurrences lead Mio to recall an old folktale referring to entities called "Shadows," which may not be entirely fantasy. Supposedly, an encounter with one's Shadow foretells the person's impending demise.

Facing the dark side of Hitogashima Island, Shinpei stands against his grim fate to fulfill Ushio's final will—to protect Mio.

Ya can’t just act on instinct and expect things to work out.
Anger, frustration
View them objectively and they become weapons.

From the outset, Summertime Rendering has the air of a slice-of-life anime with a lighthearted and clean story. But as the story goes on, one can find themselves drawn into a storyline that is amazingly intriguing and engaging.
I began reading the manga just after the sixteenth episode aired; the ...

Mixed Feelings

Summertime Render

I don't know if I wanted to praise the anime for the fact that I could hardly stop watching it. Or to express my sadness about how this show got worse and worse with each episode. This is of course often the case that series lose quality over time, but here it was impressively fast. Especially from episode 19 on, you couldn't talk about quality anymore, it felt like the writer was changed and some amateur grabbed his chair.

And the golden rule... if in an interesting anime, a white-haired evil loli with different colored eyes appears, then you already know that the ...

When I started writing this review, I was a little more generous than I think it deserves. This anime deserves a D, it just barely passes the bar, and I would not recommend it, even conditionally, to anyone.

Summer Time Rendering is ultimately a grab bag of fun sci-fi for young adults mainstays, *rendered* in as cheap and juvenile a way as you possibly could. There is no point throughout the show where you will not be held by the hand, with CONSTANT over-explanation of everything: not only pertaining to the mystery at hand, but all aspects down to every thought of, well, not ... even just the protagonist, literally whoever is the current PoV will be monologuing at you. The show does its damnedest to make sure you don't have to worry your poor little head with things like interpreting what is going on or even how our characters feel. And almost like a rhythm to the show, when the monologuing and exposition dump dialog stops, that means it's time for some not-so-tense suspense. The show betrays any inkling of tension in several infuriating ways: it firstly has prevailing tonal inconsistency, flip-flopping between wacky anime gags and ecchi humor, and turning the corner sharpish into stone cold life-or-death seriousness. At the drop of a hat, you will have characters confessing love and Dr. Slump style gag faces into someone getting stabbed in the head. It's hard for the "oh shit" moments it's going for to have any impact when they're prefaced by grating "comedy" bits, themselves things you'll have seen a million times before. It's less "OMG" and more "finally, we can get back to the story." It gets even worse as it establishes this rhythm, making the literal out of nowhere twists somehow anticipated. Even when the gag stuff isn't groan-inducing, it still somehow always feels out of place in the context of the story. Going beyond this, as I've said before, it's very overt in its presentation, and it frequently slides out of mystery/investigation into thriller chase/run/fight, the latter becoming basically the entire back half of the show, culminating in a climax reminiscent of Hellsing of all things. It was loud, it was lights and noise and disintegration of anything you probably came into this show at full force. Many of the sci-fi themes Summer Time Rendering plunders from more thoughtful peers and predecessors end up being rather shallow explorations, often ending up simply being used once to explain or handwave away why something else is the way it is. The more integral sci-fi ideas the show is built on fare a little better in that they are more fleshed out, but the development of this ideas is pretty linear and only serves to progress the narrative, rather than offer any deeper open-ended implications, let alone anything applicable more broadly to life or humanity at large. There aren't any moral questions to leave with, there are no hypothetical worlds to explore on your own. It's a closed system of unoriginal concepts used to deliver a rather cheap narrative. And God forbid I mention the tired old NON-sci-fi conventions.

Cheap drama, flimsy motivations and back stories, a story that rips the thrills, suspense, and interaction straight out of your hands make this an extremely unsatisfying experience, one that has just enough ingredients to not be an absolute failure, and a few things it does well enough that I didn't credit here because they ultimately pale in comparison to all it does wrong preventing it from going to "it's a story" to "it's a good story." If you're 14 and have literally never engaged with any sci-fi before, you probably would like it, I'm sure this is going to be influential in many little zoomies' lives, but if you're any more mature than that, just skip this. Anything you see in the synopsis that makes you think you'd like this, I guarantee there is a better-rendered ;) story somewhere else.
