Reasons you might like Summer Wars...

Sahar Sahar says...

Plots are very similar. Wars in the digital world. Both are funny and have a great art style to them as well.

(Have in mind that Digimon movie one is combination of movies 1 and 2, or at least it was back then when I watched it) First of all I think that Summer Wars is massively influenced if not copied Digimon on a whole new level. If you watch both movies in a row you will notice that SW copied a lot of scenes and even dialogue. I don´t think that its dry copy but its really hard to ignore that much similarities. In both cases plot is practicly the same... shocking? Difference is in charachters and world but everything else from plot development to major twists is too damn similar (if not same). I hate to be the one impying that one thing is copy of other, but in this case it is hardy ignorable. Both are marvelous anime, however SW is newer and more appealing to watch for a new generations (mostly beause of animations and possibly better action, which I doubt). But to me Digimon the move (Movies 1 and 2) is far more superior anime. If you enjoyed one of these you should definately grab the other one.

Both of these series are very similar in a variety of ways. While the Digimon movie does come first, and Summer Wars is almost plagarising Digimon's plot, both movies are equally amazingly well written and animated.

digimon: the movie (as it used to be called) and summer wars share A LOT of common themes... children who wield avatars that battle in cyberspace, AI villains that rapidly evolve, countdown clocks with deadly missles re-programmed by the AIs targeting earth, pairs of boy hackers, visits to granmas in the country, baseball games on TV interrupted, cyberworlds that are white voids filled with objects that are bright pastel colored, and even the entire world rooting for the good guys to defeat the bad AIs as they watch in cyberspace.

it's almost like whatever came second was a reboot of the other. the only really big differences between the two are that AIs can exist in the real world in digimon and that a love story is central to summer wars. otherwise, the two movies are more alike than different.

Kamiwaza Wanda

Kamiwaza Wanda

In a world where every event has been turned into programs, there are mysterious monsters known as "Promin" that maintain the world. However, many Promin who have turned into bugs known as "Bugmin" are responsible for many of the world's real-life bugs. Left alone, they may eventually turn into a big problem. The boy Yuuto encounters the space dog Wanda, and the pair use a camera-like device and key items to capture Bugmin. Promin themselves are able to do things like "accelerate objects," "spew fire," or "create objects," through an ability known as "Kamiwaza" (miracle), and are able to fend off Bugmin with it. At first, the Bugmin only cause small, bothersome things, but it will soon elevate into a global scale threat.
