Hoo boy, if you like Our War Game (the Digimon Movie segment with Tai and Izzy) you will LOVE Summer Wars. It’s the same director, Mamoru Hosoda, and it’s the same basic plot (AI causes chaos on the internet and people deal with it) but there’s a lot more to it, including a lot of family stuff, a really cute romance subplot, and some STELLAR animation from studio Madhouse. It’s honestly one of my favorite movies ever and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

LOL andrew!!!! you recced me this movie like two years ago and it’s been at the top of my movies-to-watch….i’m just awful at actually going through anything on that list o|-< although i did watch wolf children a little while back and loved it!! beautiful animation and nice storytelling, so i’m sure summer wars is the same 😀 

That…doesn’t actually surprise me too much. It’s a movie I’ve watched like half a dozen times because of how much I love it. It has a little bit of everything and it’s just a really lovely movie.
