Summer Wars
OZ, a virtual world connected to the internet, has become extremely popular worldwide as a spot for people to engage in a large variety of activities, such as playing sports or shopping, through avatars created and customized by the user. OZ also possesses a nearly impenetrable security due to its strong encryption, ensuring that any personal data transmitted through the networks will be kept safe in order to protect those who use it. Because of its convenient applications, the majority of society has become highly dependent on the simulated reality, even going as far as entrusting the system with bringing back the unmanned asteroid explorer, Arawashi.

I know he loves anime movies and tv shows, especially those that are related to video games. I decided to search for the best anime movies so I could rent him something to watch. I stumbled upon "Pokemon" and was completely blown away. Both my nephew and I loved everything about it. The story and the animation were both top notch."

Pokemon - #2May 12, 2018"Studio Ghibli does such a fantastic job at producing movies that there is nothing bad to say at all. Spirited Away is no exception. Hayao Miyazaki directed the movie and really brought the story of yokai alive. I have always been a huge fan of Studio Ghibli and will continue for a very long time. I can't wait to see what they produce next and will be one of the first to get my hands on it."

Spirited Away - #3October 9, 2017"While it's kind of the classic concept of "kid playing video game, gets sucked in", it is really done in a beautiful way. The visuals in this show are absolutely stunning. While some describe it as a bit underwhelming, I think this show is great for MMORPG fans, but don't expect TONS of monsters, etc. I think it has more depth than some shows that rely on too much fluff, etc."

Overlord - #4May 16, 2018"My Neighbor Totoro is a beautifully animated anime movie, that explores the magic of nature. This is more of a kids' movie, however, some adults will also enjoy it as well. Disney recently acquired the license for this anime movie and have changed the voices for the dubbed version, so if you have seen this in the past this could be somewhat strange to hear the voice changes."

My Neighbor Totoro - #5September 29, 2017"So, you want a gaming anime? Well... this isn't quite it. Sure, it's chock full of adventure, drama, and monster-smashing, but a person has to draw the line between 'fantasy anime' and 'gaming anime' somewhere. There are better animes out there if your main focus is video games - you can give this one a try, but be sure to prepare yourself for possible disappointment."

Konosuba - #6October 12, 2017"I love Anime TV and movies. I play tons of video games imported from Japan. I recently started watching Initial D. I think this sits perfectly with my vast collection of racing games and other classics I have laying around. I love games and Initial D reminds me of some of them. It is one of the best ones to watch when not gaming."

Initial D - #7October 10, 2017"Let's say you love anime, as I do, and video games (yep, me too). In that case you're definitely going to want to watch Swort Art Online. It's a stylish take on the dark side of video game technology that lets you enter your avatar and move as yourself in game space. Highly recommended, on Netflix with English and Japanese audio."

Sword Art Online - #8June 15, 2018"If you want something non traditional but based on manga and anime try the Movie BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad. I loved this fun, rollicking movie on a quirky musician and a normal high school freshman. Teens will love this and it's fun for adults as well so go pick it up for a fun movie night with kids."

It's got elements that players of fighters and RPG games will enjoy and the graphics mirror many of the best games out there."
