| Beautiful episode the whole way through. I did not expect to have Ushio as part of the main cast, but it seems like she'll be a frequent appearance in future loops. Still up in the air as to whether she's the real one or not, but I can only imagine it's a shadow since the original Ushio would understand the significance of walking around after her funeral. It only makes sense that would be the shadow, copied before she died. Only a couple things bothered me: The tone, first and foremost. When dealing with really sensitive subject matter like a dead sister, it played a lot of stuff off for gags. Seemed like it should be something more significant, having your dead relative show up at her beloved festival, but beyond the beach scene it wasn't treated with the kind of weight I would expect. I suppose this isn't such a big deal though, since the MC is used to dealing with doppelgangers by this point. Secondly the pacing seems way off. There were at least three huge twists in this episode that I expect in any other series would be saved until the halfway point. Things like Ushio showing up, the shadows laying out their motivations, and the Dale Cooper character making her entrance as an ally. I have to wonder what they will do for another 20 episodes at this rate. Finally it was jarring the way the audio design handled her shotgun. For something with the cultural impression of a shotgun racking, they only played sound for ejecting the shell and not for pumping the new one in. But that's me just nitpicking. I love this series. |
| I was enjoying this show up until this episode. Really, the success of Summertime Render depends entirely how how keen the protagonist is at uncovering the mystery. If he drags his feet like Subaru from Re:Zero or Takemichi from Tokyo Revengers, then this could be a tedious exercise. In most of the first 3 episodes, the protagonist seems like he has a head on top of those shoulders, and is at least trying to make some kind of coherent response. This episode is a bit different. First of all, it doesn't make sense for him to not initially think Ushio must be a shadow before he chased after her. Second, after deciding that Ushio acts genuinely, it doesn't at all make sense for him to get flustered and shy about it and want to hide Ushio from the rest of the group. That seems counterproductive. One would think that either he decides that she's a shadow, and stay the hell away. Or he decides that she isn't a shadow, in which she could be a valuable resource to the group. It's not the tone that bothers me, but the irrationality of inserting some dumb romance cliche at a key moment, you know where the MC acts dense and doesn't properly express his feelings. He could have gotten more information from Ushio by simply stating the facts and the timeline and gotten her response. When the shadows decided not to kill him, I wondered that even after they "finish what they wanted to do", whether his death could still bring them back. Since there's no obvious sunset to his ability. But at least the shadows are approaching this strategically, unlike MC thinking with his dick. If he doesn't get his act together I'm rooting for the shadows. |

| Is there actually some sane reason why MC decides to hide the existence of this mystery from his ally, to the extent of lying to her? (Something which could easily get her killed if she fails to understand something she could have understood otherwise.) Because he's coming across to me as a complete nutcase, and I don't think that's the intention. |

What are you talking about? he didn’t decide ushio is his ally yet bro just met her, if you’re refering to her because mc told his friends and mio already about the shadows |
bam |

ARE YOU INSANE?" did you see mio’s reaction to seeing ushio? she thinks she is a monster because duh she learned that shadows copy the real human and kill them, how do you suppose if shinpei just told her without preparation that ushio came back to life as a shadow? shinpei is the type of person that gathers info before bursting in a situation, everything can happen in the festival especially since there’s a lot of people and the enemy can be among them, he said last episode that he doesn’t trust his friend sou 100% yet so how do you expect him to just drop the bomb that ushio is alive in the middle of a festival in front of his friends? he had to calmly assess the situation and think of something that why he told ushio that he will come back for her later |
bam |
| man ferry woman finally arrived but a bit too late. great ep though really liked everything thath happend so far and ushio is just so adorable |

| Definitely a reckless move from Shin to run up on Ushio like that. He figured out it was a shadow pretty quickly (at least we can assume she is) but was lucky that her "programming" is somehow messed up. Emotions and such tho so I can't blame him. And I guess he couldn't tell Mio over the phone since redhead big sis there doesn't know about the shadows yet. Quite the end half of the ep tho. I wonder if Mio shadow is dead dead at this point? But rly at this point I figure we have to get a reset. So perhaps Shin will convince Hizuru to shoot him or maybe he'll just take the gun and do it himself idk. |
| Ushio returns as something else than a brutal shadow, she is rather sweet. While Mio's shadow is a mass murderous demon, maybe she is gone for good now. They figured out that Shinpei better not dies when they want to complete their plan. I hope Shinpei's evil shadow won't cause more harm to everyone, they are really scary. |

| Not a fan of the first half at all but the second half blew things out of the water really quick. Just so so many mysteries we have so far. Oppai woman shooting Mio shadow was very satisfying |
| Holy fucking shit, they just keep on delivering. Shadow or not, Ushio's really cute. Didn't think Shinpie would again be captured by Mio's shadow. Those shadows are merciless, I think we now kind of know what they are trying to do, they want to get their mother back or something? I couldn't believe the shadows figured out Shinpie had the return by death ability, that just made everything even more difficult. One thing I'm glad of is that the shadow's can actually be killed, dunno if Mio's shadow will just come back again or not but it was good seeing it's brains blown out. Big titty mommy is here for rescue. 5/5. Also lmao look at this, nice vote counts  |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| A lot has happened but I still know very little. Is ukio malfunctioning as a shadow? How many people have been replaced by shadows? What the heck does their "mother" want? Why are they so OP? Hopefully that scientist lady can drop some answers. |
 |
| So it looks like the Shadow Ushio is indeed different than her brethrens. Can't wait to learn more about her. Last episode and first half of this one were a bit slow and focussed on the characters, but second half went crazy. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| She’s a good shadow then? so she’s really death then. Is going to be rough when they have to destroy all the shadows. |
 |
| Okay ngl, I'm not a fan of Ushio. I almost hated this episode until that last part happened. I'm guessing this Shadow Ushio is the one that Shadow Mio is called a "traitor." Must be a Shadow with incomplete memories |
| 臭い- |
| All in all the brutality of the show is appropriate since we know that our heroes are fighting monsters that have both body and strength to use. Besides that. it adds spiciness. Hopefully soon we'll know more about our huntress in glasses as Shinpei remains alive in this thread of events and now when his time travel disguise is blown those to unite to sort the ongoing shit quickly. Poor So, he was desperately good in his confession, too bad his calm sister already spoiled the ending. |
 |
| Time skips, flashbacks and rewinding.. Its a bit heavy but we finally getting somewhere. I wonder if that really is the real Ushio. They made her extremely likable. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| This was by far the best episode so much stuff happened and we got a lot of information about the shadows. |
| The woman from the boat saved him, good thing she’s on our side she looks like she knows a lot about the shadows. |
| Considering there are two of the "one-of-a-kind" necklaces, this Ushio almost has to be a Shadow. The Shadows before copied every thing of the originals in the previous episodes, down to the items on their body and in their pockets. The only question that remains now is why, unlike with Mio and Tetsu, Ushio doesn't realize she's a Shadow. I mean, I guess it is possible that the Shadow Ushio was who was killed, and the Real Ushio was stashed away somewhere for the interim until she washed up during the festival? It's not impossible at least, I don't think. It just seems more likely that the current Ushio is a Shadow. Boob-lady to the rescue! Unless she has special bullets, I guess the Shadows aren't as "immortal" as I was thinking they'd be. Anyway, I feel like my entire first two paragraphs just became meaningless, lol... I'm not going to bother deleting them though. My only other thought at the moment is: These Shadows are pretty spooky. It was terrifying to think they were about to keep Shin alive while his Shadow wandered around just to keep him from looping. That is some pretty high-level intelligence that, as far as I know, other series with this similar premise haven't touched on. Depending on how the story pans out, this might end up being some serious nightmare fuel at some point down the line. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| Man this is just awesome!!! I'm loving it!! Can't wait to see what happens next!! |
| Shadow Ushio act like she was real Ushio? Oh boy Shipei got caught by Shadow Mio. This is getting really bad.. Big Boba Secret Agent Girl save the day?! |

| When his leg got broken, that sound really something. |

| i didnt expect the villains to figure out the time loop this quickly |
 |
| You know it's a good anime when you can put pieces of the story together, yet they still manage to throw you for a loop. |
 |
| Definitely one of the most difficult shows I've watched |
| My mind hasn't been this fked for so long since Re:Zero! So many questions... |
| Wow... what an episode. Everything was happening according to what Shinpei was thinking but then we saw these Shadows being even sharper than our MC. LOL. Busty girl saved the day. Nice. |
 |
| this is crazy, I am not sure if I like or hate this anime... until some logical connection will be explained I think I give it a 7.. it is a nice mystery, but it seems this is just a fairy tale without any sense |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| That Mio shadow is really weird with this behavior if she's not controlled to kill the other ones, though I should have expected this but it wasn't the real Shinpei since he got copied when he visited Shiori's house and now that he got copied once again they know about all his memories and especially the time loop (which is actually the most suspicious part of all these events), though there's the big boobs foreigner girl of course and she can kill the shadows with her weapons, good thing. |
 |
| Ushios shadow clone does not know she is a shadow huh or maybe the one that died is the shadow clone of Ushiio all along and damn the MILF came in clutch to save Shinpei |
| Bruh... no one told me Ushio was this stupid. Like girl, try to understand the situation you are in ffs. So... thousand of people at the festival yet no one saw nor heard the commotion on the stairs? Okay. |
| With the troublesome 'Ushio' suddenly making her presence aware, I certainly did not expect 'Shin' to be the shadow. |
 |
| Oka-san wake up soon!!! Bad notice!! kekeke |
| Well that just shot down all of my original theories. I hope more people will watch this. Sucks that it only recently became available on Hulu. Anyway, so far this is/was definitely AOTY material. At the very least drama AOTY. |
 |
| Picked up steam real fast damn, and finally Hizuru is here. |
| This is actually pretty scary. I dunno, is the whole series this intense? I wonder. |
| So I guess Ushio's shadow is the traitor, was likely that we'd see her in this form again. Almost forgot about the busty onee-san, guess she didn't get stabbed the day before. |
