We need Natsu ga Owaru Made and Natsu no Owari because modern life has robbed us of ritualized endings. We scroll past grief, we mute sadness, we fill every silence. These animations demand that we sit in the heat, hear the cicadas, and admit that something is ending. They remind us that the end of summer is not a tragedy—it is an inevitability. And inevitability, once accepted, becomes a strange kind of peace.
A very specific and interesting topic!
