Summer Anime 2025 Final Thoughts
Finally finished up the last 2 shows from the Summer Anime Season, so time to get out my final thoughts and ratings.
Time to start a thread about the recently finished anime of the summer season!
And do let me know if you watched the same ones and how you liked them.
With you and the rain: The Iyashikei gem that feels like a warm cup of tea

If it looks like a dog and acts like a dog and insists it’s a dog, it’s…a dog? Probably? She adopted it anyway, and her life with this “dog” will never be boring!
I actually had with you and the rain on my radar; however, it pretty much got pushed aside, due to amount of shows I picked it up anyway. And honestly, glad I did. I’m really enjoying the slow paced, series. and I’m only 2 episodes in. It’s really enjoyable, just sitting back and not really think about what’s going on. The calmness it brings as well, that I feel is an understatement.
Fuji met the nameless dog, which uses sketchpad to communicate with people. And they bonded really quickly. I think with any Iyashikei anime, you’ll quickly notice that the companion is pretty much a tanuki, in world though, they pass it off as an odd-looking animal.
Did you see the angel like mask on the nameless dog? also, I love the art on the rain and flowers, it is gorgeous! not only that, but I also love how Fuji’s eyes are, striking blue. Catches my attention quite often. The soft gentle music played really helps with the mood. Sure, nothing of note happens, however just watching Fuji smile and seeing the nameless dog and their daily life is really calming, very charming too

Fuji, the beautiful yet reserved novelist that meets a strange “dog”Fuji is an introverted, reserved novelist. Who came across the nameless dog. As said above, her eyes are striking to me. Besides being a novelist, she does say she isn’t a sweet person, which contradicts with her interactions with others. Other than that, not much is known about her.
Nameless dog that appeared to Fuji, uses a sketchpad to communicateNameless dog. I love this dog, his ability to use a sketchpad to communicate with people is funny, yet charming. It’s hinted at (pretty much can guess) it’s an actual tanuki, as it has a leaf on its head. Charmed by its personality.
Would I continue watching?
Yeah, the series is a hidden gem, it has that soothing, calming, gentle, atmosphere that can be watched as a come down from all the other shows

“New” anime: #BinanKoukouChikyuuBoueibu Haikara is… following a formula. The first episode didn’t really blow me off my feet but the second kind of felt pleasant because it’s nothing more and nothing less than you can expect it to be.
The chraracters are nothing special and Shin saying “haikara” twice in each sentence is annoying. But I like the cat mascot, although the “cats are fluid” seems very contemporary and not fitting with the setting 🤨
One thing that might explain why I couldn’t find this on any streaming platform is how heavily loaded this is with puns that only work in Japanese. Not only the names of the victims of the week, even their powers… I am not sure I could follow and I know Japanese quite well.

New anime: #TheSummerHikaruDied feels a bit overwhelming with everything that goes on in that town and with the visuals. But it’s definitely got me hooked on wanting to know what is doing on in that town and whether Yoshiki is making a big mistake there. Based on the first 2 episodes, “Hikaru” doesn’t even seem that bad, at least when they’re both together.
Clevatess Episode 02 review: Bandits suck
Clevatess wasn’t supposed to hit this hard. Now I’m pacing between episodes like it owes me answers
To recap, Klen transformed into a human, both he and Alicia got captured by bandits in the previous episode. He points out that under this transformation, his skin is thin and frail. I like how he was just sat there nonchalantly in the wagon. I love how this particular scene echoes back to how Alicia was first introduced as a hero, with a twist of course from the first episode.
Did you guys see the overhead view of the bandit’s camp? showed a large hole, will that hole have something to do in this episode? I think it will. Bandits are pretty much your typical asses found in most fantasy, dark fantasy series. I hope they get their comeuppances, would love to see Klen tear a hole, big enough like that hole in the camp and teach them a lesson. Also, they might have found their wet nurse.
Alicia is brought to their “boss” Vrok. Pretty smart character, even if he is a total ass, he clocked that she was one of the 13 heroes. Curious, how did word get out, when she concealed her gender from the main fodder themselves? bit of a mystery there. It confirms what I suspected with Hiderat now in ruins, the price for their magical weapons is sought after. Vrok, is selling counterfeits, the swine.

Uh-oh, don’t like what the scene implied, where she was taken away from Vrok by his hench men, to have “a bit of fun”. Dark fantasy isn’t for everyone. And Clevatess isn’t holding back from the looks of it. Anyone looking for something nice, warm, fuzzy with pixie dust, better tune off, maybe watch Mashima’s Fairy Tail. Klen has been made to work what looks like a pub, ironic that one who has servants, is being made to serve others.
I do feel for an abused slave woman called Nell; she’s the wet nurse that is breast feeding Luna. She works at the pub. The abuse is held back and toned down; it could have been worse. However, that ass spanking is one thing, the black eye is a dead giveaway.
Actually, I take that back a bit. Nell recounts her back story, and not gonna lie, it was a bit hard to take in. She was abused by the bandits since she was 12. Her plight made me really sorry for her. In order to survive, she had to essentially become a prostitute, this was done by Carme who took her in. I’m guessing she saw just how bad it would have gotten, so essentially saved her. Nell having given still births to not one, not two, but three kids of her own, really shows how Clevatess can be brutal. Klen who listened intently, didn’t interrupt, let Nell tell her story, then without question offered her a new path. For a dark beast, he’s showing far more human traits than what actual humans are in this series.
Wow the final few minutes were just so, damn, Alicia’s is taken to this rope bridge, where I suspected the bandits wanting to have fun with her is partially correct. Anway, some real nice world info dump was given. Remember the giant hole? well this place is an abandoned mineshaft for arcanacite called Elbe, the legendary hero Khordhwar was last seen here. 300 years ago, it got flooded, and with that flood brought dark beasts called Arvensis of the water. He wasn’t a match for them, however his sword Stream splitter is at the bottom.
Could Alicia be Saber in disguise, I mean she is blonde and cute too. What happened at the rope, isn’t for the faint of hearts, and holy hell left me awe struck.
Next Week’s Doom Forecast 🌩️
From what happened at the rope bridge, Alicia is an undead, so she will come back and kick their assess ten-fold. I do think Klen will start to act, in order to procure Nell’s service. Meaning he’s going to wipe them out.
