Summary:
Summer Wars is a sci-fi, action, romantic comedy which is a joy to watch for long term anime fans and newbies alike. It follows the story of Kenji, a highly intelligent math whizz with a high level of computer literacy and Natsuki, a popular school girl who selects Kenji as a ''fake'' boyfriend to take home to meet her family. The story is centred around a computer based world called 'OZ' which combines the functions of most popular social networking and shopping sites alongside business meeting outlets etc. However as society becomes more reliant on OZ as a large part of their everyday lives this leaves their personal information vulnerable. So after recieving a mysterious crypted text message and solving it, Kenji unintentionally allows a virus programme into the system with access to the worlds technology and thus throwing society into chaos.
Opinions:
By combining a gripping sci-fi adventure with the subtle realism of the family relationships, Summer Wars proves to be a valuable Anime for any collection. The humour and romantic underlay prove to make it a far more enthralling story than the usual ''bog standard'' action film and in terms of science fiction, this Anime can definately hold its own.
Rating:
4.0 / 5.0 Excellent
