add recThe Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Summer Wars have, besides similar animation, quite a bit in common. They both make use of entertaining plot devices with almost limitless possibilities (time traveling and the World of Oz), create an engaging story with said element, and top it off with a hint of romance. Both movies are made to appeal to a large audience, and thus have no crazy or extreme edges to them, and are about equally entertaining. If you liked one of them, give the other a try as well!
Slice of Life; Sci Fi; Romance. Three things that common these two movies. More than that, they have very similar animation and the whole style. You really don't know the end of the story until the end. They are unique. Two of a kind. I am completely sure that the fans of one movie would like another.
Beyond the animation styles, each of these movies are centered around a fantastic world (one with an unimaginably huge MMO used for every facet of life, the other with time travel), a bit of budding romance, and using sheer will power to overcome great obstacles. Finally, both of these series will likely appeal to most people, giving few people a reason not to like them.
Both movies are "must watch" masterpieces! Both share similar animation and style, as well as "wide" and entertaining stories full of creativeness! Some other elements like comedy and romance also exist in both movies to add some spice! In general, the 2 movies have a lot in common and deserve such high ratings, so don't miss them!!!

add recIf you like Bokura no War Game or Summer Wars, you'd probably also enjoy the other because they both have a very similar feel to them. Both movies are about kids fighting some sort of monster online in order to save the real world. The animation style is similar too.
Most of the events taking place in Oz in Summer Wars are closely copied from the internet events in this Digimon movie. So if you liked these aspects in either movie, try the other.
Malicious virus type monsters cause chaos in the digital world. Resulting in a knock on threat to the real world.
The threats to our world happen to be the same in both movies, as well as lots of other things.
The heroes of both stories are teams of young people and their digital partners, fighting to save the world.
Just how similar these films are is frightening.
Using the internet to fight monsters that threaten the lives and well being of millions of people.
A person who has watched lots of anime may tell you that the movie your describing is either the second digimon movie or Summer Wars the plot lines are very similar but have different aspects that make the movies unique and enjoyable to both different and alike watchers, overall recommend both movies and enjoyed them immensely recommend to anyone.

Naota Nanbada is a boring young boy who leads a boring life in a boring town. His older brother has left for America, and the closest he comes to any excitement is when his deadbeat dad has too much sake. But things change one day when a bizarre girl zooms up to him on a scooter and smacks him in the face with her guitar. What's more, once Naoto returns home he discovers that this strange woman has arrived ahead of him and moved in! Not only does she constantly engage in perverted activities with Naota's father and flirt with the young man himself, but she also claims to be an alien who is searching for the ‘Pirate King.' Now, Naota must learn to live with this new intruder, deal with an odd government agent who sports exceptionally large eyebrows and the mysterious Medical Mechanica, and come to terms with the fact that there are a variety of robots and weapons emerging out of his head - amongst other things. Perhaps boring wasn't so bad after all...

add recFooly Cooly and Summer Wars both center around a young boy who is confronted by a girl who usually wouldn't want anything to do with them, but on both occasions the main charecter is dragged into an interesting series of events. Through these events the main charecters gain self confidence to do what is nessecary to eventually protect the things they care about the most, their families and personal interests, and the girls they meet. The cause of all the events that take place in both features are cause firstly by the main charecter and cause a domino effect that causes ripples to go across the world. The main charecters eventually assist in stopping the trouble they caused, usually with the help of their family and the girl they meet. Both series take place in more rural settings, Fooly Cooly is more of a small city and Summer Wars is at an estate in a small town but rural settings are seen and felt in both. The familes of the main charecters or in Summer Wars, the girls family, are both odd in there own ways but overall come forward when the main charecter needs assistance and provide much comic relief. Overall the two series are great to watch and will give many laughs and sentimental moments.
