Sonny Boy
Stranded in a bizarre dimension, high school students must navigate treacherous alien landscapes and their own dark impulses. As strange powers emerge, alliances form and tempers fray. If you love psychological sci-fi, this is unmissable.
It’s an ordinary summer vacation...except for the fact that Nagara’s high school has mysteriously drifted into another dimension. As the students begin to develop strange new powers, will they work together to survive the alien environment and find a way home, or will their newly formed factions and rivalries turn on each other? (Source: Funimation) Note: The first episode received an advance release on YouTube on June 19, 2021. The regular TV broadcast started on July 16, 2021.
