The Aquatope on White Sand is a tale that takes place in an aquarium in Okinawa, where an 18-year-old girl Kukuru met Fuka, a former idol from Tokyo, and form a true friendship.

8. Battle Game in 5 Seconds

Battle Game in 5 Seconds is a remake of Harawata’s webcomic of the same name, which follows Akiro, a high school student who was dragged into a battlefield by a mysterious girl and faced the intelligence battle. To some extent, the anime is similar to the normal kind of battle royale story, which is a commonly seen death game theme, but Battle Game in 5 Seconds is not bad for plot and settings that outrun the cliche.

 

 

9. Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan

The anime follows Uramichi Oniisan, a former professional gymnast who struggles to keep an upbeat personality in the Children’s show but can’t help to reveal his worn-out personality out of the bleak lives. Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan is a right mix of humor, cynicism, and a dash of realism that reminds you of the absurdity of life. Should we be honest with children that miserable adulthood is lying ahead by giving them a terrible life lesson?

 

10.  How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom

The anime follows how Kazuya rebuilds the flagging economy of the Kingdom he’s found himself in by gathering talented people together. It’s another Isekai tale - a plot device that allows the protagonist to explore life in another universe like a summoned hero, which is often seen in Japanese animation. How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom is more thoughtful in ways how it presents economic and public welfare altogether and blends with fantastic elements. It’s so far an interesting story if you want to see a different type of world-building.

Part 2: Vanitas Dominates the List for Two Consecutive Weeks

The Case Study of Vanitas is definitely the hit of the Summer anime season. The manga adaptation is praised for its exotic vampire story set in a backdrop of steampunk Paris. The two male characters, Vanitas and Noe are also two of the most popular anime male characters for summer releases. After the premiere, The Case Study of Vanitas tops among others and dominates the rankings for two weeks in a row.

 

Part 3: Demon Lord's Rank Surges

It’s worth noting that That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 2 has become the second most popular summer anime from the sixth place last week. This is because the animation has finally developed into the serious part and finished the tedious conference plot. When full episodes of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 2 are released halfway through, the story will surely be more interesting as it develops to the climax.

 

Part 4: The Best Original Anime in July Appeared

There are two original projects among all the summer anime: Aquatope on White Sand and Sonny Boy. It seems Aquatope on White Sand has outperformed Sonny Boy and become the most favored original animation this summer. Unlike regular animation, The Aquatope on White Sand is an original tale that is not based on any manga or light novel.

 

With no adaptation to look back to, we’ll never foresee where it goes. It’s entirely up to speculation on how Kukura and Fuka develop their friendship. While depicting two young women reaching for each other like the burn of the sun and the cool of the aquarium, there’s still so much to see and episodes so far have revealed unlimited new possibilities beyond.

 

The Bottom Line

While Autumn is just around the corner, it means the summer animations are going to finish soon. If you haven’t seen any of these new releases, just check them out on streaming services like Crunchyroll, Funimation, Hulu, and Netflix. Especially Crunchyroll and Funimation, are probably the most popular streaming sites these days that offer a great variety of animations, from the latest release to classic canon. If you want to keep these animations for offline access, just download them with Leawo Video Downloader, so you can avoid streaming issues of all sorts.
