I agree with OP, that movie sucked.

>/a/
>good taste

serves you right, retard

it`s cyberpunk for normalfags, what else you expect

>implying the Digimon Movie wasn't good

HERPALA DERPLE DERP

There are people on /a/ who say they like it because their hobby is math/programming and the movie is related to that.

Go imagine.

agreed

There are a lot of people here who disliked it.

>I want realism in my animu

>I thought you guys used to have good taste

The fucking fuck?

>/a/
>good taste

Never. The closest /a/ ever got to good taste was a small minority back in pre08

no sage here, bro. I agree. The move was nothing but GAIA, AIDS, AND KOIKOI.

I'm a software developer and I fucking hated this movie.

It was a disappointment but not really for the reasons you list.

I want to be disappointed /a/, sauce please

>>36129661
This is actually a pretty accurate statement. This premise deserved a better treatment other than "LOVE BEATS SUPERINTELLIGENT AIS"

>>36129745
Can no one fucking read filenames anymore?

>>36129632
You are taking it way too seriously, OP. Yeah it's not realistic. It was still a decently fun, if somewhat mediocre movie. I, for one, won't be losing any sleep over one more inaccurate portrayal of the internet/computers/hacking after the million or so that are already around.

>>36129691
They like it for the same reason people like watching Big Bang Theory. It's a stupid show but it makes pseudo-intellectuals feel smart for watching it.

>>36129691
What? I would imagine only normalfags would enjoy it, as anyone who knows shit about anything would see how stupid it was.

>>36129632
The movie could've been pretty cool if it was more serious and dropped the digimon shit. I agree, OP

I don't recall anyone mentioning this movie was realistic. In fact, there were shitloads of threads about how UNrealistic the movie was.

But the movie's all in good fun.

dont like fiction? whats the matter, too DEEP for you?

>>36129632
I liked it better when it was called digimon

oh shit I just made a thread about this a couple days ago and /a/ said go ahead watch it!

thanks OP
now I don't have to

>>36129795
I know it's not supposed to be realistic, but it's so far-fetched it's not even enjoyable.

It was ok, i'll go back to watching akira now.

Good point. No point in trying to find logic in chinese girls' cartoons.

What a dumb reason to dislike a movie.

It wasn't the internet, it was OZ.

The movie was bad for other, more major reasons. Not nitpicky reasons like this.

You're as bad as my friend who dismisses the entirety of Alien because they go back for the cat.

>>36129914
So what major reasons are you saying?

>>36129632
Maybe when you asked for recommendations, you should have asked for realistic to semi-realistic shows. You got what you deserved for asking recommendations in the first place.

>>36129632
Are you fucking stupid or what?

>>36129914
>OZ

Quit nitpicking. They made is sound just as important as the internet in the world of Summer Wars. They might as well have called OZ "Second Life with some add-ons."

Even so, it wouldn't change the fact that you can't gain someone's personal information and ruin their lives by beating them in an online fighting game.

I had no problem with Summer Wars except for the fact that the main girl I don't even remember the name of was totally useless most of the time, but still got the spotlight in the card game battle, with a henshin scene at that.

The only thing that killed this movie for me was the Gay Gay card game bullshit or whatever it's called.

It's just retarded.

>>36129989
i dont think you watched the movie at all, explaining how wrong you are would require too much text for you to read so its a pointless exercise anyway

>>36130057

>Even so, it wouldn't change the fact that you can't gain someone's personal information and ruin their lives by beating them in an online fighting game.
Of course you can't. Because that online fighting game isn't your entire online account.

But it is in OZ, because OZ isn't real and was made up for this movie. It was made up.

There is nothing you can't do with card games.

>>36130080
Yep, I definitely didn't watch it. That's why I made a thread about it.

Unlike most of /a/, I don't have time to troll all day. When I post here saying I watched something, I watched it.

>>36130139
I actually liked the first part of the movie, when the girl whose name I can't remember hung out with Kenji and all. That was alright. But it went downhill after everything was about OZ and hackers on steroids.

>>36130203
Card games on motorcycles?

>>36130204
suspension of disbelief is fine when you aren't trying to insult the audience but whatever you say

Don't forget the DS squid kung-fu. How the hell is that supposed to work, anyway?

>>36130233
if you watched it then why are you getting parts of the movie so horribly wrong?

sure there are plenty of technical flaws with the movie, but you point out things in a retarded manner thats incorrect in itself

>>36130297
OZ is a DS fighting game where you can help save the world by using a squid avatar to fight hackers, apparently.

>>36130332
What am I getting wrong then, sir? Do you like arguing semantics or something? I may have gotten some little details wrong but my points about the movie's idiocy still remain.

>The internet is not a PvP version of Second Life.
>Hackers don't duke it out in fightan gaems.
>You cannot stop satellites from falling to Earth by winning obscure jap card games.

It's like he just read a summary on wikipedia.

>>36130466
u mad, summer wars fan?

>>36130204
Yeah, but you can stretch things only so far. Summer Wars was constantly kicking you to the nuts and telling you it's only an anime.

>>36130375
oh sure its pretty idiotic

>Hackers don't duke it out in fightan gaems.
im sure some actually do, for kicks (but in OZ there are registered battle arenas and shit, like we have online games)
>You cannot stop satellites from falling to Earth by winning obscure jap card games.
the AI had control of accounts that had access to the satellite control, they played a game with accounts as wager, gain control of accounts to get access satellite control. its completely retarded, but not as retarded as the way you put it

only 720p? weak

The best Summer Wars is Frostii's 1080p Summer Wars.

>>36130630
I actually use MPCHC + FFDshow, but the VLC icons still show up even though I've changed my default media player to MPCHC.
>>36130679
If it was a detailed movie or something (i.e. one featuring 3d pigs), that might justify using way more bandwidth and HDD space. But it's anime. There's no real discernible difference between 720p and 1080p for most series and films. Anime art style is very simplistic. The most you're gonna get out of 1080p is a little better definition on the lines.

>expecting anime to make sense

I guess Summer Wars is too DEEP for me.

and smaller blocking


but clearly you dont have eyes either

so what did you think of Dennou Coil?

>>36130525
Oh okay. You're actually retarded enough to think that's what happened even after watching the film.

Oz was not meant to be the entire internet. Oz is not meant to be a depiction of the internet as it is now.

The people playing the fighting games were not hackers.

Which particular gambling game they played was not important. They played the game they felt most confident in. The satellite's landing coordinates were actually changed after that.


You show as much understanding of the plot of the film as either somebody who just read a summary of it or a 9 year old who watched it.

Summer Wars:
- Looked amazing. The art and animation were great, both in the real world and OZ.
- Was well-directed. The film had several memorable scenes that other productions fail to have even one of (like the first meal with the family).
- Had good characters. Not all of them were as deep as each other, but for such a large cast to all be at least interesting is an amazing achievement.
- Was engaging throughout. The plot was solid and the story never got stale, regardless of your views on how OZ was portrayed or whether the science behind the show was plausible or not (no, Internet does not work that way. lern2fiction).

tl;dr It was a great movie, maybe not the bes thing you've ever seen but still well worth watching. Stop looking to anime like this for realism and learn to enjoy a good thing.

>>36130865

>>36130964
>this year

I learned from this movie that everyone from Japan is good and values family, while every American/non-Japanese person is a bad, bad human who only loves himself. The Rape of Nanking, Death March, and Beijing Massacre were totally justified! I love Nippon!

I thought it was all right. But when was OZ ever supposed to represent OUR internet? I always just thought OZ was OZ。

Anyways, I watched it mostly because I really enjoy the director's other work, though he really did reuse a lot of his old ideas:

-Crying scene from The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
-Final punch from One Piece Movie 6
-Superflat Monogram's/Digimon's digital world
-Children's War Game's ENTIRE PLOT

Though it was relatively weak, the stellar art design and animation was enough to keep me hooked. I'm a sucker for cloudy blue skies and rural Japan.

>>36131028

>>36130844
Gee, sure is semantics around here.

>Oz was not meant to be the entire internet. Oz is not meant to be a depiction of the internet as it is now.

As I said in a post in this thread (but apparently you're too aspergers/ADD to read), it doesn't matter. It's like it was Second Life + add-ons.

>The people playing the fighting games were not hackers.

So the AI Love Machine and King Kazuma never fought. Yep.

>Which particular gambling game they played was not important

If someone's already taken control of a majority of a game/online world, would they really want to wager all of what they have on a bet? Inb4 >hurrdurr it was a learnan machine. If it could steal 400 million accounts, it could steal 20 more with no problem. And how would the transaction even work? Why would a game where you can wager accounts with people's real life information and identities exist? It would all have to be programmed, smart guy. No one would make something like that. That would be like Blizzard making it so if you lost in WoW battlegrounds or something, your opponent would get your credit card information and etc. It would *never* happen.

>The satellite's landing coordinates were actually changed after that.

I know. But would something like that actually happen? Sure, you can pay attention to a movie. So can I. But did you ever wonder "how the fuck would winning a card game be able to change the course of a satellite?" No, you're just a typical anime fan that thinks glorious nippon logic is infallible.

>You show as much understanding of the plot of the film as either somebody who just read a summary of it or a 9 year old who watched it.

And you have that level of understanding with regard to reality.

Anime is not real life? Who would've guessed.

>It's like it was Second Life + add-ons. Even so, it wouldn't change the fact that you can't gain someone's personal information and ruin their lives by beating them in an online fighting game.

I think in the beginning it was explained that OZ was more than that. It was basically an online account of you. Not a second life but your actual one. Paying taxes, checking medical records, buying stuff, work accounts, and other personal info, all could be accessed with an OZ account.

>So the AI Love Machine and King Kazuma never fought. Yep.

The fighting game existed just as a normal game. The AI just used it to pick who to hack after it had hacked the important accounts.

>If someone's already taken control of a majority of a game/online world, would they really want to wager all of what they have on a bet?

It liked playing games. That why it played the hanafuda games and why it fought with accounts before hacking them. It could have taken over all the accounts it wanted to without playing, like it did with the MC's account and probably all the government ones, but after those it was all just fun and games.

>But did you ever wonder "how the fuck would winning a card game be able to change the course of a satellite?

This was answered previously but:
One of the hacked accounts controlled the satellite. The plan was once they won that account they could use it to change the coordinates.

It's better than otaku shit like Haruhi and Eva.

I watched summer wars with some friends, by the end we were cheering.

we all stared at him and said. "dude, its a cartoon show, not discovery channel"

>>36131170
I think you're misunderstanding the extent the world of Oz had in the movie.

It was like Second Life, sure, but the movie established that the world of Oz is much more than just a game. It became literally a second life for 1.6 billion fucking people. 1.6 billion. It wasn't just a game anymore, it was a second world where people could live out a different life. That and that the supposedly 2048-bit encryption code was supposed to be unhackable, and you get a world where personal credentials are stored.

With that taken into regard, it should answer your doubt about people having important shit like credit card numbers and access to a falling satellite in the world of Oz and most of your other doubts.

Obviously, the world of Oz is, in no way, realistic. But it's a movie.

>>36131574

It's a reference to Ender's Game. Main character's siblings used the internet to publish their thoughts on international politics and what should be done to fix things. One got enough clout to eventual become ruler of the world.

The book was written in 1985 and the author thought that's how powerful a tool the internet could be. As the comic shows, he was wrong.

>>36131722

this

KOI KOI

To people who think the AI could've just stolen the accounts instead of playing games:

The AI had complete utter control of the control center of the world of Oz. Obviously stealing a few more accounts is a simple, simple task. But don't forget that the AI was designed to learn. The people explicitly stated and based their entire plan to defeat the AI on its desire. They said that Love Machine WILL accept the challenge. It was designed to do shit like this. Sure, from a human standpoint that's a retarded thing to do, but it doesn't have a human brain. It's programmed, and thus it doesn't choose to simply steal the accounts and rather placed bets.

This

One of my favourite anime movies.

dealwithit.jpg

Those are shit complaints, OP. It's science fiction, and it's the future, who gives a shit what it depicts the internet to be like.

You should blame it for it's piss-poor characterizations, total rehash of plots, and bending backwards to pander to every demographic possible so badly that it nearly breaks the film.

Why is a lack of realism on a cartoon movie so disappointing anyway?

>>36132148
>You should blame it for it's piss-poor characterizations, total rehash of plots, and bending backwards to pander to every demographic possible so badly that it nearly breaks the film.
You missed the K-On thread

If some people here are so much concerned about realism in anime then why there isn't a thread about realism in Evangelion for example?

>>36132184

K-ON doesn't have muted seinen-esque slice of life, bright and cartoony shounen fights, and ridiculous magical girl transformation scenes all smashed together in an absurd, confusing mixture.

>>36132245
So it's trash?

>>36132257

Yes, Summer Wars is trash, that's what I said. K-On's quality has no bearing on the matter.

Ya, it's shit

This is why we can't have nice things.

If you don't like it then you trollin or your elitist faggotry.

The animation and scenery is good but yeah, it's trash

OP is wrong though, it's good

With so much shit, why does OP rage over a decent animu from past year.

>>36132944

Only thing that seriously bothered me was how they could control those ridiculous fighting moves with like, a D-pad and 2 buttons, and how the hell real world skill would affect that. Other than that, the devices they use clearly don't display what we see, so, what do we really see? Is it just for the audience?

Finally, why does having a supercomputer make you better at fighting? Wasn't it about skill? How does more calculations make a better fighter?

>>36133083

Wasn't the supercomputer just to do the lock-down programming and shit?

I agree the movie was dissapointing, but it's pop culture perception of technology was hardly ever the top of my list.

>>36133083

I think that supercomputer was there because of gate trap.

I'm a software developer and I loved summer wars.

>>36133198

>>36133135
I almost certainly would have killed that douchebag cop guy, right there, use his blood for coolant.

I love this movie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=rfAiZ2mRakw

>>36133232

Yes, that was another reason I didn't like the movie, the douchebags in the family. Namely, the cop and the women. You already have the evil digimonster as the antagonist, why do you need humans that you grow to hate even MORE than him? I know maybe this is unfair, but Tokikake didn't have any true antagonists, so why did this, just for the tension? I mean, could you imagine some sneering bastard screwing Makoto's life at every time jump, and it's her mission to try and stop him and 'win'? The movie would be shit!

I think Summer Wars just hurt itself from trying to be too accessable as a 'family film'. And as I said before, it tried to appeal to too many demographics in very clumsy ways. Also, the whole "international Koi Koi" scene was total cringeworthy fluff, as well as that whole ending scene, and a few others. I mean, I still rather enjoyed the movie, but when it was all over, the negatives were more revealing than the positives in the end.

>>36133412
It's a big family, some douchebags are bound to be there.

>>36133412
>>36133629
Well it is kinda odd how oblivious the women are to the importance of Oz, despite how important it seems to be in this reality, and how they are still "But it's just a game, silly"
