Hello everyone, or my messenger who likes nostalgia and occasionally walks to the forefront of the times.
A new round of April has arrived, and on this somewhat special day, I recommend a brain-burning anime that will be broadcast soon, "Summer Re-enactment".
This is a science fiction suspense anime adapted from the manga of the same name, which tells the story of the male protagonist Shinpei who returns to his hometown of Hitoshima island due to the death of Aome Takema, where he experiences a series of bizarre events and gradually learns the secrets hidden by this small island. The 139 episodes of the original manga have been completed, and this adaptation is also to convert most of the stories into anime, becoming a total of 25 episodes for half a year, making the excitement fill the whole summer.
As the title says, this is a science fiction suspense anime that travels through time and space, which involves suspenseful features about puzzle solving, and there are also science fiction elements that travel through time and space interspersed with it. Its suspenseful features are somewhat similar to "The Street Where Only I'm Not There", which begins with various killings and leads to the secrets hidden behind it; time travel is somewhat similar to "Re:0", there will be a so-called death return, so the protagonist is trapped in a certain time period.
Both are mysterious and mysterious themes, and complement each other to create this very brain-burning anime, which has a similar taste to the "Gate of the Stone of Destiny" of that year. However, the plot of this "Summer Return" should be slightly simpler.
As mentioned earlier, the story begins with the return of the male protagonist, Shinpei, who heard that the Aome Takema Boat Tide had died, so he returned from Tokyo to Hitoshima Island, where he had been separated for two years. However, the island is not simple.
On the surface, Hitoshima Island is mainly based on tourism, and the simplicity carries a hint of peaceful scenery, attracting endless tourists to the island, so that local residents have a very rich income. However, there is a special disease that is almost integrated with the customs of the people on this island, called "Shadow Disease", and anyone who suffers from this disease will die mysteriously the next day.
I don't know when a shadow will appear on this island that imitates the appearance of an adult, and anyone who is imitated will not survive the next day if they see it. It is not so much a disease as it is a curse, and the male protagonist's green plum bamboo horse died under this curse.
On the surface, the male protagonist's green plum bamboo horse boat tide drowned when he was physically weak when saving the little girl who fell into the water, which was characterized as an accident; but there was an obvious stranglehold mark on the neck of his body, which made people who knew the "shadow disease" very suspicious of the truth behind it, including Xiao Zhouchao's sister Xiao Zhou.
After returning to his hometown, the male protagonist re-learned about the "shadow disease" and the suspicious place of the death of the boat tide from Xiao Zhou, who was also a green plum bamboo horse. It is said that Xiao Zhouyi and her sister were cleaning up garbage on the beach, but unexpectedly saw the shadow of her sister, a woman who was exactly the same as Xiao Zhouchao. The next day, the boat tide died because she went to save the little girl who fell into the water.
Recalling the rumors that Shadow would live and die, as well as the strangulation marks on her sister's neck, she concluded that her sister had died of the "Shadow Disease" that was popular on the island.
This kind of statement is both a rumor and an imagination, and it is not a serious statement for people like the male protagonist, Dai Shenping, who has been to the metropolis, so he did not believe it very much at first.
This personality is in line with most of the characters in the story, who are skeptical of many but mysterious events and do things in their own way; most of these people will fall prey to the progress of the story, or experience some of the beats of the plot setting, and then naturally change their attitudes. Fortunately, this network generation Shenping appears as a male protagonist and will not simply receive a box lunch, but the link that is beaten by the plot will not be less.
As a result, the male protagonist, Shen Ping, encountered the most suspicious moment of life in this life, "watching Xiao Zhou Yu kidnap Xiao Zhou, and then shoot himself."
Shinpei Netshiro, who was originally skeptical of the "Shadow Disease", met a second boat on one day, a person who was exactly the same as his own green plum bamboo horse, that is, the so-called shadow. At this time, the suspenseful characteristics of the whole story began to intensify, and the so-called "shadow disease" began to emerge. At the same time, this made Narushiro Shinpei doubt life for a while, and began to change his attitude, becoming interested in the legend of the "Shadow Disease" circulating on the island.
However, before Netshiro Shinpei could do anything, the shadow who had kidnapped Xiao Zhou pointed the revolver in his hand at him and pulled the trigger. After that, there was a sharp gunshot and a spark, and the net was even darker.
Do you think the story ends here? No, that's just the beginning. When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing at the port of Hitoshima Island with Kaichu's luggage, and the time displayed on his mobile phone was July 22. Netshiro Shinpei found that he had traveled back to the days when he first came to the island.
This is the element of the anime through time and space, the male protagonist has a death return similar to 486 in "Re:0", every time he dies due to an accident, he will automatically return to July 22, when he first came to Hitoshima, and the time of each return will go backwards and reincarnate here.
The male protagonist who encounters this strange thing has the same initial attitude as 486, not knowing how to be good, and even some fear and uneasiness. However, the things that overwhelmed him were much more than that, and more bizarre things were happening. For example, after attending the funeral of Oshima Shio, he saw a woman who looked exactly like her standing in front of him in dead pants the next day, and at night saw Kojima holding a knife, and even witnessed the so-called shadow.
The occurrence of this series of events once made Netshiro Shinpei hover between hope and despair, both the fear of the return of death and the "disease of shadows" that were not as good as it came, and the desire to find the green plum bamboo horse.
What is the truth behind that? What about the so-called "Shadow Disease"? What does the tide of the island that came back from the dead and the sudden appearance of the second island have to do with this disease? And what exactly does the male protagonist network Dai Shenping have to do to break this deadlock?
Then wait until April 14th, let's see for ourselves!
