We review the first season of The Summer Hikaru Died. It’s not often we get a horror anime that’s actually scary, and this one hits the mark while also delivering a great mystery. We discuss the scary moments that got us, the romantic subtext, and the slowly unraveling lore about the town.

Japnese title: Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu
