Review: Summer Wars


Story: 5/5
Animation: 5/5
Design: 5/5
Voice Acting: 5/5

  A truly touching tale that's really more about summer love then "Summer Wars".  Computer nerd and math genius Kenji Koiso's simple summer plans, watermelon and fireworks, are turned upside down when he agrees to help his secret crush Natsuki. Turns out Natsuki need Kenji to pose as her boyfriend at her family reunion. Why doesn't this kind of stuff ever happen to me? Kenji's problems are just starting however, as it turns out there is A.I virus running lose in OZ and it turns out he might be to blame for it.  Director Mamoru Hosoda, of  The Girl Who Leapt Through Time fame, delivers once again with a heart warming tale that seems to capture the spirit of summer. Beautifully animated, beautifully designed, I defy anyone who is a fan of anime to say they don't like the way this movie looks. It's easy to see why this movie has won the amount of awards it has. Even the English voice acting is superb, which is good because to ruin this masterpiece with a hack dub would be beyond criminal. I  honestly recommend this movie to everyone, not just anime fans, it's that good. Watch the trailer and you'll be saying Koi Koi.
