So i just watched The Summer Hikaru Died teaser and here are my thoughts…
It was AMAZING. Starting off really strong with the cicadas (aka my favourite aspect of the series) as well as a brilliant performance from the voice actors.
The shift into the flashing sequence was accomplished so well and the sequence itself really does reflect the emotions present in the manga. I am so relieved that they are embracing the horror aspects of the show as I was scared they would go more down the line of “spooky mystery” instead of “gut-wrenching” but it seems that so far we have lucked out!
Also i am a sucker for bell sounds especially in a series such as this one!
The way they draw “Hikaru’s” insides is captivating, the rainbow luminescent colouring and the movement really make it pop. I love the use of red in this and the flashing sequence. The way they also make it look natural too is awesome as i think it is a key part of the worldbuilding and themes.
I was so apprehensive clicking on the trailer but now i am actually really pumped! I think they are going to make a good show even if it doesn’t end up being an exact replica of the manga.

The first is a muted color view of a river, with a tree at the side. The second is Makima from Chainsaw Man, drawn in a pale blue, pointing a finger gun at the camera. The third is Hikaru from Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu in the view of headlines, a white star at the side of his face.
The fourth are bubbles. The fifth is a bridge in warm light, which Pochita from Chainsaw Man is sleeping on. The sixth and final is a burger and fries
The following three photos are close-ups of Makima, Hikaru, and Pochita. /End ID]

I recently rewatched Fullmetal Alchemist, and the scenes with Pride the Homunculus reminded me of Ciel.
Imagine if Sebastian, instead of taking on a humanoid form, made his true form parasitize Ciel, boosting the boy's physical strength. Ciel would transform into a badass eldritch kid using demonic power to fight viciously. I thought that would be so cool, so I drew it.
