I recently started rewatching Serial Experiments: Lain and realized that it’s the perfect watch for a hot summer night: It’s chill, eerie and matches the summer night vibe perfectly.
What’s your favorite anime for hot summer nights and why?
Kowloon…
It’s a nice, misterious anime with old style anime style. Has a strong summer vibe
Call of the Night - the whole show is just pure vibes, and it portrays the nighttime in a unique way. Watching it after it gets dark enhances the experience. It’s even better if you have a thing for vampires
Besides the obvious “summer” theming, I really liked The Summer Hikaru Died for being one of the only horror manga to still be good once made into an anime.
It’s winter for me at the moment but I adore Call of the Night for the wild midnight vibes and also Insomniacs after Dark cause it’s cozy as.
I discovered Inuyasha only because I find it hard to sleep when its hot and it would play on Adult Swim at like 2am. The filler episodes are usually chill, and there are a lot of them. My favorites are the ones focused on Shippo.
