- Synopsis:
- Kenji is your typical teenage misfit. He's good at math, bad with girls, and spends most of his time hanging out in the all-powerful, online community known as OZ. His second life is the only life he has until the girl of his dreams, Natsuki, hijacks him for a starring role as a fake fiance at her family reunion. Things only get stranger from there. A late-night email containing a cryptic mathematic riddle leads to the unleashing of a rogue Al intent on using the virtual word of OZ to destroy the real world, literarily. As Armageddon looms on the horizon, Kenji and his new family set aside their differences and band together to save the worlds they inhabit.

Oddball anime fun... - Summer Wars review by Schrödinger's Cake
A wonderful anime romp, that had my two teenagers and I laughing out-loud at times. The pace is pretty fast in general, and there are a few oddball twists that keep it interesting. Fun!

Bizarre, unfathomable - Summer Wars review by AB
An anime version of Ready Player One about a virtual reality world, this time taken over by a Big Baddie and the race to stop it ruling the real world through its stolen accounts.
A geek's film.
