- Reviewed in Canada on January 21, 2023Verified PurchaseAlthough I think Belle (also by Mamoru Hosoda) does a better job with creating a realistic way to integrate with virtual reality (a device that seems to connect to your brain, vs. using laptops and cell phones in Summer Wars), I greatly enjoy the characters and family dynamic in Summer Wars, and the escalation of events really pulls me in. After re-watching it a few months ago I realized it was a great comfort food movie for me, so I'm happy to have it on my shelf!

Reviewed in Canada on September 20, 2019Verified PurchaseJ'ai bien aimé ce film! Ça donne un peu un aperçu de ce qu'il pourrait se passer si un logiciel malveillant prendrait le contrôle d'un programme qui est en charge de tout et c'est très bien imaginé!
- Reviewed in Canada on February 15, 2020Verified PurchaseHonestly I ordered this movie and didn’t know what to expect. I got hooked off the trailer. After watching it multiple times it is definitely a wholesome and good anime movie.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 16, 2018Verified PurchaseI don't know what it is about this movie but the way it wove together themes of technological innovation, ancient traditions, love, family, communication and the triumph of intelligence all within a tight teenage love story blew my freaking mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Originalità che profuma d'Oriente
Verified Purchase-Opinione riguardo al film-
Un ottimo titolo questo Summer Wars, che riesce a riproporre il tema della vita virtuale con una chiave di lettura molto interessante e divertente. Le animazioni sono davvero un piacere per gli occhi, così come i colori, molto vivaci e luminosi. La trama, per quanto fantasiosa, tocca dei temi attualissimi che verosimilmente potrebbero verificarsi in un futuro prossimo. La tradizione e cultura giapponese si respira dal primo minuto, e riesce a fondersi meravigliosamente con il mondo tecnologico. Il mondo di Oz vi catturerà con i suoi colori e simpatici personaggi. Un film da vedere più e più volte!
-Opinione riguardo al DVD-
La copertina del DVD propone un'immagine alternativa rispetto a quella del Blue Ray, ma non per questo meno apprezzabile. L'interno della confezione presenta il semplice disco e nessun libretto informativo. Nonostante tutto, esteticamente fa la sua bella figura. Consigliato!
-Opinione riguardo al trasporto-
Servizio rapido ed eccellente come il solito, 鶹 Prime anche stavolta non delude. Packaging adeguato e nessun segno di usura sul prodotto. Complimenti!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hermosa película!
Verified PurchaseEl servicio de 鶹 fue excelente como de costumbre, llegó a tiempo y el producto presentó cero defectos.
La película trae 3 discos, uno en BD (región A, compatible con reproductores de México) que es la peli+extras, y otros dos en DVD (región 1, pueden verlos en la computadora) que contienen lo mismo que el BD, un disco para la peli y otro para los extras. Los extras incluyen entrevistas a Hosoda y a los actores de voz además de trailers, me fascinó ver las opiniones de todos tanto que lo recomendaría sólo por eso. Debo decir que el diseño de éstos se me hizo hermoso. Además trae slip cover.
La calidad de imagen es lo que se espera de un BD a 1080p, incluye audio en inglés americano y japonés, y subtítulos en inglés.
La película en sí fue maravillosa, cada nueva obra de Mamoru Hosoda supera a la anterior y esta no es excepción. Kenji es un chico tímido que acompaña a su compañera de clase Natsuki de vacaciones para un "trabajo", donde conoce a toda su familia. A la vez nos encontramos en un mundo regido por las interacciones virtuales, cuando éstas son amenazadas por un virus, poniendo en riesgo el orden social. Para solucionarlo, toda la familia de Natsuki junto a Kenji unirán fuerzas y enfrentarán una tragedia, pero surgirán victoriosos. Contiene muchos elementos de fantasía a la vez que deja un mensaje sobre la familia. Si les gustó "Los Niños Lobo" o "El niño y la bestia" no se arrepentirán.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Timless Story in a New Light
Verified PurchaseSummer Wars isn't exactly a new theme for anime, or movies in general. It's the sometimes trite and mostly overused boy meets girl meets problem = awww <3. That out of the way it is an original it is beautiful and it is a fantastically well done take on a tired theme. I'm not going to delve into the actual plot, as there are plenty of other reviews that do so...as such please consider this a spoiler free review.
The DVD comes with some small cards of characters you will meet in the anime, a beautiful box, and a second disk of extras, previews, and other bits of information on Summer Wars. It's a nice way to handle the issue of adding extra content, a separate disc is far preferable to wading through the menus. The subtitling is done very well and is never obtrusive nor does it move so quickly that you're distracted from actually watching the anime. That in and of itself is often a difficult task to achieve with subtitles and they should be lauded just for that fact.
The graphics are beautiful and the color palette is massive. The change between the real world and OZ is a phenomenal example of this as things become brighter, the colors less natural and more deeply hued, and yet it all seems natural as if you could login to OZ today and create your own avatar. In the real world the saturation and blending is most apparent with the backgrounds, sunsets, sunrises, fields, and cities are richly animated and nothing feels like an afterthought. It is no wonder that this series won so many awards, just based on the art alone it is an epic achievement.
The story of Summer Wars has more to do with family, cooperation, and faith in your fellow human being than the actual goings on of OZ. Each character is well developed, though some are more distinct than others. You can tell that the creators took each individual character very seriously and tackled subjects that may otherwise be difficult to handle.
Your main characters are a painfully shy high school student who has never kissed a girl and is focused on math, a young lady unsure of where she is in the world and desperate to please her grandmother, uncle, and other relatives even if that means lying. The grandmother is a proud matriarch of a respected but now (comparatively) penniless family who has lived a life of conviction, clearly holding her clan together. Others include bombastic uncles, snotty aunts, overly inquisitive young children, a quiet loner of a child with a secret revealed halfway through the anime, and an uncle who fills the role of being the titular black sheep.
It's a big cast that would be easy to lose track of if you weren't introduced to them so thoroughly and if they weren't all distinct. It's a feat that Summer Wars manages to keep everything together so well throughout the entire show.
Summer Wars is a very family oriented anime in that it is based around a family, and the "family" of a world connected all the time through OZ (a much evolved Internet). It reflects that while we may want to solve our problems alone, hide our pain and worries from the world, and share only what makes us seem the best - we can't solve anything that way and we must learn to communicate. This is a timeless message that still comes across fresh in Summer Wars and is endearing if just for the way it is presented to us.
