Finally watched Summer Wars. That movie was fucking boss. I wish I could have watched it with everyone in Virgina last week. I think it would have been a good enjoyable movie. It's directed by Mamoru Hosoda who also directed The Girl Who Leapt Though Time. I think I like Summer Wars better. It's mover over the top but not in some super animu way, but in a lets just have fun way.
The main character is a young math genius Kenji whom spends most of his time immersed in the internet world of OZ. It's like super-flat AOL/MMO/Second Life where tons of business and governments run things, and pretty much everyone has an account. He is asked by a girl at school, Natsuki, to come to her family home for a summer job for a few days. To Kenji's surprise it was to pretend to be her finance in college. Don't worry this doesn't last long and it's found out because when the world of OZ is hacked and Japan is brought to a standstill and it looks like Kenji's the main suspect. OZ has been taken over and someone is using his avatar to do it. Kenji, Natsuki, and her family must put a stop to it before the world is in danger.
There was a ton of characters in this movie but I found them all enjoyable and I really like how the family interacted with each other. It really makes you feel that families all around the world really are not all that different.
This was just a really well crafted, nice looking movie. It's not something you want to think to hard about (the whole eating avatars for power doesn't really make sense) you just watch it for the ride.
This movie is really different from The Girl Who Leapt Though Time but is also very similar. Both have a same kind of feeling to them. If you liked The Girl Who Leapt Though Time or like just really fun movies I highly suggest checking out this movie.
