Sonny Boy

Sonny Boy is an original sci-fi psychological drama TV anime produced by MADHOUSE. When a school and its students are suddenly adrift in an alternate dimension, Nagara, Nozomi, Asakaze, and their classmates awaken to supernatural abilities—only to find themselves entangled in questions of survival, freedom, and identity. Conceived, directed, and series-composed entirely by Shingo Natsume, the series delivers a boldly auteur-driven narrative unlike anything in contemporary anime. With its layered mystery, philosophical undertones, and striking visual storytelling, Sonny Boy is essential viewing for fans of thought-provoking, genre-defying animation.

For Nagara, summer vacation should have been a time to relax and forget about school for a while. Instead, something impossible happens — his entire high school, along with everyone inside it, is suddenly transported to a mysterious alternate dimension far removed from anything familiar. Stranded in an alien world governed by rules unlike anything they've ever known, the students soon discover that some of them are beginning to manifest strange and unexpected abilities. With no clear way back home and an unfamiliar environment pressing in on all sides, the question becomes not just how to survive, but whether the students can hold together as a group. Tensions rise as different factions begin to form, and the bonds of friendship are tested in ways no one could have anticipated. This is a story set at the crossroads of youth and the unknown.
