The summer schedule of anime releases on Netflix in 2025 experienced an unexpected setback as one of their highly anticipated shows will not air its next episode at the scheduled time. This summer has been particularly captivating for Netflix, with the platform premiering several exclusive and intriguing series that fans have been avidly enjoying. Some popular titles like Sakamoto Days, Tougen Anki, DAN DA DAN, among others, have dominated the streaming service. However, one show has garnered attention for its unique nature, setting it apart from other offerings. Regrettably, that’s the series that is affected by the delay.
An Unusual Anime Debut – The Summer Hikaru Died”
This summer has seen the launch of an exceptionally unique anime titled “The Summer Hikaru Died”. Based on Mokumokuren’s original manga, this chilling horror series has sent shivers down the spines of viewers worldwide, thanks to its suspenseful episodes streaming on Netflix. However, fans will have to exercise a little more patience as the anime has announced that Episode 9, which was initially scheduled for August 30th, will now air a week later due to some special programming events taking place in Japan.
The Summer Hikaru Died Episode 9 Delayed With New Release Date
According to the anime’s official social media posts, Episode 9 of “The Summer Hikaru Died” has been rescheduled from August 30th and will now air on September 6th. This adjustment is due to a special broadcast in Japan (a 24-hour telethon on Nippon TV), but fortunately, it appears that this delay won’t significantly affect the rest of the anime’s episodes. The post also mentioned that this delay will last for only one week, so while it may be disappointing, it’s not as prolonged as some other shows’ delays during Netflix’s Summer season.
The anime titled “The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity,” which was originally scheduled to air in Japan this Summer, has had its release date pushed back to September 7th globally. Unlike earlier, it will be streamed weekly and will feature an English dub from the start. However, this delay is significantly longer than anticipated, which means “The Summer Hikaru Died” may not maintain the pace set by the episodes that have already been aired.
What to Know for The Summer Hikaru Died Anime
The anime titled “The Summer Hikaru Died” is now available to stream on Netflix, with Ryohei Takeshita (known for “Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night“) as its director, produced by Cygames Pictures (“Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Beginning of a New Era“).

The main characters are voiced by Chiaki Kobayashi and Shuichiro Umeda, with Yoshiki Tsujinaka and Hikaru Indou portraying their respective roles. The opening theme for this series is “saikai,” sung by Vaundy.
The series titled ‘The Summer Hikaru Died’ provides a distinctively chilling horror experience unlike any other recently seen in anime. While it can be challenging for the genre to effectively convey horror within its productions, this show manages to strike a nerve. Enhanced by an intriguing erotic element between its main characters, the series offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience so far. If you haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, take advantage of this extra time and catch up with its episodes now, available on Netflix.
