If you've seen The Girl Who Leapt Through Time then you might be pleased to know that this movie (Summer Wars) is made by the same people. Same director, same script writer, same character designer, same animation company, same everything! Therefore it can immediately be expected to be one of the best movies this year. If you're umfamiliar with The Girl Who Leapt Through Time then I suggest you watch it. In my opinion, it is the best anime movie ever made, and also one of the best movies ever made. Period. It made me cry. Nuff said.
Here is the synopsis
When timid eleventh-grader and math genius Kenji Koiso (Ryunosuke Kamiki) is asked by older student and secret crush Natsuki (Nanami Sakuraba) to come with her to her family’s Nagano home for a summer job, he agrees without hesitation. Natsuki’s family, the Jinnouchi clan, dates back to the Muromachi era (1336 to 1573), and they’ve all come together to celebrate the 90th birthday of the spunky matriarch of the family, Sakae. That’s when Kenji discovers his “summer job” is to pretend to be Natsuki’s fiance and dance with her at the birthday celebration. As Kenji attempts to keep up with Natsuki’s act around her family, he receives a strange math problem on his cell phone which, being a math genius, he can’t resist solving. As it turns out, the solution to the mysterious equation causes a bizarre parallel world to collide with Earth, and it’s up to Kenji and his new fake family to put reality back in order.
...and both the teaser trailer and the full trailer that was released yesterday can be viewed here (http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/stellar-first-trailer-for-mamoru-hosodas-summer-wars/). Unfortunately the trailer hasn't been subbed yet but forget the dialogue... it looks amazing! It's release date in Japan is the 1st of August. Hopefully it'll get a DVD release around or just after December, then it'll get subbed in no time.
ADD THIS TO YOUR PLAN TO WATCH LIST PEOPLE - THIS MOVIE IS DEFINITELY ONE TO CHECK OUT!!!!!
Another movie that caught my attention is CENCOROLL.

It's been a while in the making, mainly because the entire film is being made by one guy, but hopefully a release date is near. The trailer looks amazing - watch it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9GtU3xwLBQ).
