The Summer Hikaru Died
Season 1 released Summer 2025 Season 2 announced! Okay, look. This show was made for me. Small town in rural Japan, folklore, body horror, cosmic horror, and the desperate longing of pathetic gay boys. Truly some of the best atmosphere and direction I've seen in years, plus the OP is a banger! The Summer Hikaru Died on Anime-Planet

Kowloon Generic Romance
Released Spring 2025 A romantic thriller about identity and the danger of nostalgia, wrapped in a beautiful package that evokes the same nostalgia it warns you about. Compelling and weird. A properly mature story featuring a cast of actual adults! Kowloon Generic Romance on Anime-Planet

CITY the Animation
Released Summer 2025 Rarely am I so excited to try to share a show with people. KyoAni doing all kinds of flexing here with direction and animation. Silly and funny! I'd recommend this show to literally anybody. City the Animation on Anime-Planet

My only real caveat is that there are a couple of scenes of attempted sexual assault, so if you're sensitive to that sort of thing, you might steer clear. Dan da Dan on Anime-Planet
Dan da Dan
Season 1 released Fall 2024 Season 2 released Summer 2025 I think just about anyone right now will tell you to watch Dan da Dan. It's a load of fun with great action and charming characters. The teenagers actually act like the goofy and weird kids that they are.My only real caveat is that there are a couple of scenes of attempted sexual assault, so if you're sensitive to that sort of thing, you might steer clear.
