Hosoda, who directed the cult film "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time," has made a sophisticated yet poignant family entertainment with an appeal beyond Japanese animation buffs.
Summer Wars surprisingly celebrates togetherness and bravery as much as binary-mathematics expertise, all helped along by a kick-ass synthesis of traditional hand-drawn scenes and fluid, rainbow-explosive CG artistry.

Summer Wars has engineered a truce between the familiar and the fantastical.
In Summer Wars, it's what's old that's made to seem refreshingly new.
It's the kind of fun and quirky film that you don't see very often in art houses this time of year.
Considering it's anime, Summer Wars starts out more like a bad romantic comedy.
It's hard to appreciate things like the character detail amid the insufferably squealy voicing and arbitrary suspense.
Virtually emotive experience. The plot works as well mixing a family meeting, with an eventually funeral, and a thrilling race against time into the virtual world. Lucky beginning of director of Wolf children.

This film wasn't what I expected at all, but it was more of a pleasant suprize than anything else. The animation, while being goregous, isn't too overdone, and the cg elements implement wonderfully. If you have not seen its predecessor, "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" definately check it out too. This story actually has a great message about family and respect, and is definatey worth the look.

Une mièvrerie débile à souhait (pour ceux qui le souhaitent) et à volonté (pour ceux qui en veulent et en redemandent ... de la débilité à la nipponne !) mélangée à des réseaux sociaux ou plutôt un gigantesque réseau social qui pique une grosse colère (et de gros bugs) !... en somme, un gros tas de japoniaiserie très concentrée qui se la joue "branchouille" (ou branchecouilles comme on dit dans ma campagne) à donf !
Et qui nous fait chier à fond les ballons avec ses pathétiques conneries de pseudo-scénario qui n'avance pas, de caricatures ambulantes et autres clichés qui errent, ressassés à l'envi dans ce déambulatoire où tout, absolument tout se marche sur les pieds et dans la prétention (un sacré paquet de prétention à peigne-culs branchecouilles donneurs de leçons, ça déborde de partout !).
Quand on est pas coincé dans la caritcature, on est encerclé ici par des têtes à claques et autres tronches de cake qui racontent n'imp' et qui auraient bien besoin d'une bonne distribution de coups de pied au cul... et d'ailleurs le scénario (qui a clairement abusé du saké) en aurait bien besoin, lui aussi, lui qui s'étire sur presque deux plombes inutiles, navrantes et consternantes, emballées dans un mauvais goût permanent et une technique à la rue !
