![]() It is like the past and the future holding hands. Considering this problem, it is amazing that two contrasting subjects are harmoniously presented in one show family and cyber technology. Nowadays, people share less and less physical contacts and families get smaller or utterly disappear. Everyone needs a backup which help gets a person through obstacles and suffering. That thing is family or more precisely, each other.Įven someone who sleeps through half the show will still be able to recognize the main theme of this anime which is family. I’m talking about something unbelievably primitive and something that is mostly forgotten in society plagued with individualism. ![]() It also provides the viewers with a counter measure, one that does not mean denying science and technology but one that makes people and science coexist smoothly. The show may present the down side of technology like most of other science fiction but, as I’ve mentioned before, Summer Wars is no ordinary show.

Kenji is on a summer vacation with Natsuki’s family of over twenty people. When OZ system fails, everything shuts down and the world is in chaos. Summer Wars clearly displays fear of the advancement of information technology which gradually becomes essential part of daily lives. In most occasions, this would be the case but to my delight, Summer Wars proves to be a rare exception. A summer vacation that leads to a cyber battle, virtual terrorism and apparently the world is at stake?
