Viewing Notes
Started the day two at FF2010 with a backup selection of Mamoru Hosoda’s anime feature Summer Wars (2009). Wasn’t expecting much but what a wonderful, heartwarming animation. Basically War Games for the internet/social networking age woven around a delightful Japanese family drama. Love this flick! Great animation by Madhouse.
