And of those three personas that I didn't hate, one is just a big pussy, and the coolest one actually dies halfway through the story. Or they were all of those things combined. All but three of the characters (and there are DOZENS that fit into the plot and play a part in the story) didn't outright suck the rest pissed me off because they were either stupid, annoying, or complete and royal douchebags of the Eddie Cullen-calliber. There are maybe a handful of parts of this thing that were indeed great, but there are soooooo many more that just annoyed the shit out of me and made me scratch my head in wonder as to why the creators actually felt the need to place them in this feature in the first place. No, it's not even a bad movie, but it's only average. Well, you ask like an impatient asshole child who's never been told "Get over here so I can spank some of that retardation out of you!", is it as good as TGWLTT? Is it even better? It's with this high praise already implanted in my mind that I first heard about Hosoda's follow up feature to TGWLTT, Summer Wars.įor the past year people have been touting Summer Wars as "the most awesomest and terrific animated movie since like forever and a half," (before it had even come out) and I got caught up in the hype waiting for my chance to see it ever since. It actually restored my faith in the Japanese film industry that had (for the previous few years) stagnated a bit like an abandoned rock quarry that's become home to the abandoned and decomposing bodies left by a serial killer. It's entertaining as fuck, light, funny, and filled with great, likable characters from top to bottom. Director Hosoda Mamoru's The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is one of the best movies (animated or not) I've seen in the last five years.
