What did I just watch? The story was all over the place, the plot was written where everything was meant to fall into place as if everything made sense in their world, convenient plot devices like the grandma wanting the MC to marry the school idol grand-daughter, colorful explosions of lazy CGI, an ending where best possible outcome was achieved and all the problems were fixed. Yay. What's more I checked the rotten tomatoes reviews and it was rated highly among movie reviewers who were casual anime fans.
Is this what anime has become? Just CGI eyefuck for 120mins and everyone goes home happy? And what was this movie even meant for? Certainly not children since the plot was so convoluted, yet certainly not for adults since none of this shit made sense.

Sometimes people just want to see a spectacle. There's a place for films like this.

I just feel like if this is what "good anime" is then it lowers the bar for work that has actual work put into it and changes what "bad anime" is supposed to be. I wouldn't have minded it if at the end I felt like this was worth my time

Do you guys actually know how to play hanafuda? I learned it from fate.
Luis Jackson
It would have been a better movie if was just about the MC having to deal with the girl's eccentric large family and cut all of the digital world shit. This was unironically my favorite part of the movie. It was corny as hell, but it just hit on all the right notes of set up and execution for me.
Lucas Jackson
I'm not gonna lie, I downloaded this in '13 and watched it just now Either way I wouldn't type this much if I was going to troll

Don't get caught up trying to categorize anime as "good" or "bad". The only thing that matters is whether or not the audience gets what they want out of it.
Anthony Gonzalez
>Don't get caught up trying to categorize anime as "good" or "bad". But what else are we going to argue about on here if not if someone's favorite anime is actually worse than runny dog shit?
David Harris
It is rated highly on RT because normalfag japanese cartoon fans rate highly. Just look at the ratings on MAL and ANN theyre outrageously high
Zachary Cox
Part of the reason I care is because I want valid reviews of anime. If this wasn't anime then the top critics on RT would crucify this, yet because this was an anime it was a brilliant exercise in vibrant computer animation with sci-fi and philosophical angles
Yeah I also checked their ratings as well afterwards. I wouldn't say I watch anime frequently, I've probably watched 2 series in the last 3 years, yet both casual fans and people who keep up with everything gave it 8/9/10 Why is that?

I need to rewatch this 2bh. I liked it.

So here's an idea, and it might sound out-there but you don't have to sperg out on that one thread which isn't about the flavor-of-the-month anime Crazy I know, but try it.
Jack Jones
As someone who liked the show, I'd say it's because using old-fashioned bonds between people to tackle a modern-day problem was a very interesting concept that was well presented. But I did not find the movie convoluted at all, so I kinda find it hard to see things from your point of view.

Robert James
>Our War Game was like 3 movies in 1 >Summer Wars was like 1 movie Holy shit he's right
Bentley Price
I'd argue that Summer Wars was 2 movies in 1.

To anyone so vividly upset about this movie:
Oliver Clark
Some movies are just meant to be fulfilling, not particularly thought-provoking or suprising.
It was a light-hearted story about romance and a family that comes together to achieve something greater, with a backdrop of a bright and colorful digital world.
Just chill and enjoy, user

Tfw Digimon made a much higher stakes movie about fucking kids trying to stop a nuke than the same director could do with a much higher budget
