SUMMER WARS(2009)
This is really aimed at the younger set, say 8-14, but it
does have some merit!! Art work is good, not phenomenal!
Story has a unique twist to it, where the entire internet is
run through one basic program, and that program gets
compromised by powers unknown! Not great, but good
enough for one watch!! B
A review from IMDb.com:
The Good: Brilliant Animation; Great story; Lovable
characters; Great Music; English Dubs are actually pretty
good (!); Great sense of humor; Pretty exciting finale.
The Bad: Takes part in an unbelievable amount of Anime
cliches; Scatterbrained plot isn't necessarily hard to follow,
it just lacks clarity and focus.
This is one heck of an enjoyable film that has something
for everyone. It has a great (if scatterbrained) plot, and to
accompany that is some amazing animation. To accompany
the zany cast of characters are plenty of laughs. It doesn't
break the mold as much as Spirited Away, but this is the
first anime film I've seen, outside of Studio Ghibli, that I
earnestly love. I'd watch this again in a
heartbeat! - ChristianUnchained
