From the creator of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, comes an epic anime movie, Summer Wars.
This gorgeous 2009 sci-fi anime movie produced by Mad House and published by Warner Bros. Directed by Mamoru Hosoda (the one behind the award-winning anime movie, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time)
The Story of Summer Wars follow a math-genius high school student, Kenji, who invited by his senpai, Natsuki, to help her preparing a birthday party for her grandma, Jinnouchi Sakae in Ueda, NaganoPrefecture. Surprisingly, Natsuki introduced Kenji as her boy friend to her grandma and she ask Kenji to blend with her big family as her husband-candidate. Things getting more complicated when Kenji become a suspect for hacking the biggest social networking on the world called the OZ. The hack cause total chaos on everything on Japan (just like fire sale on Die Hard 4.0). Kenji need to clear his name and find who is responsible for the total chaos on OZ, and he is not alone, the Jinnouchi is ready to help him. Summer Wars's story is absolutely epic. It's amazingly creative and brilliant, it contains lots of interesting and realistic characters. The story will suck you in and keep you on the edge of your seat for 114 minutes.
The animation and character design, big names from The Girl Who Leapt Through Time are handling this amazing anime. The result is amazing, Summer Wars animation looks exactly like The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, simple, smooth, sleek, and clean. I praise the OZ environment on this anime, it's so modern, it's so simple and attractive (it even looks more appealing than Leopard OS from Mac)
The sound, Summer Wars is equipped with realistic character with realistic voice. The voice cast is doing a remarkable job. The scores are always fit the scene and it have a quite nice theme, Bokura no Natsu no Yume.
Conclusion, I'm highly recommend this movie. Summer Wars is an epic movie for all ages and it will do more than just entertain you. 15/10 :D
