A comedy that broke the fourth wall more times than you can count, an anime that never shied away from poking fun at itself, and quirky, unforgettable characters that somehow reflect a shred of you. With almost every season topping Mal’s top-rated/most-watched list, Gintama is undeniably the king of all comedy anime.

Along with the expansion of streaming, among the unintended consequences of Covid and the SAG-AFTRA actors strike has been global consumers’ growing consumption of non-English-language films and TV shows. That in turn has elevated familiarity with and acceptance of Asian local shows and Asian performers – not just those riding the Korean wave.
Japan’s Meguro Ren this week returned to screens across the world in Netflix acquisition of “Trillion Game,” a fantasy drama set in the business world, or the get-rich-quick end of it at least.
Meguro has trodden a familiar path – years of training within the Johnny & Associates talent agency (soon to change its name due to a sexual abuse scandal), insertion into a junior music and, since 2019, as a singer and dancer with the Johnny’s backed idol group Snowman.
As a likable and ambitious – perhaps intense – performer, Meguro is increasingly adding film and TV roles as part of a parallel,...

Now, “Summer Time Rendering”, an anime based on the homonymous manga series written and illustrated by Yasuki Tanaka, implements the same approach once more, going, though, much further in its script.
