The horror anime “The Summer Hikaru Died” began airing episode 3 sequentially from July 19. In a scene where the non-human Hikaru (voiced by Shūichirō Umeda) attacks his childhood friend Yoshiki Tsujinaka (voiced by Chiaki Kobayashi) purely out of emotion, viewers were shocked, with reactions such as, “No, this can’t be,” and, “This is 20,000 times more horrifying than I imagined!”
