It&#8217;s one of my favorite anime movies I&#8217;ve ever seen. I love the creativity of the cyber world of Oz, the formidable villain, and the big ensemble cast.

You navigate in this world using a personalized avatar. Oz is a well-intentioned world that handles basically all technology and strives to make peoples&#8217; lives easier without a malicious undertone like often this kind of cyber world can entail. It&#8217;s creative in the fact that it&#8217;s so limitless and expansive.

I love how varied all of the family members are and the film did well in letting each member shine, even if it was just for a few minutes. I love how the family made a big team effort together to save Oz from Love Machine.

Mansuke taught his nephew Kazuma Shaolin Kung Fu because Kazuma was being bullied at school.

He even uses his power to attempt to harm people in the real world and even cause a death. He&#8217;s a formidable villain that was created to cause chaos and he&#8217;s good at it. Unlike an organic villain, he only has basic and logical motivations: he likes games and he was designed to take over and destroy so that&#8217;s what he does.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>How this can be applied to writing:<\/b>&nbsp;AI villains can be difficult to write because they&#8217;re so different than how humans think.

Okay? Still reading? Here we go. In the middle of this film is a very unexpected and shocking death: Sakae Jinnouchi. In the first half of the film, we come to love this senior woman for her determination, wisdom, feistiness, and more. This death takes a great tole on Kenji and the Jinnouchi family, especially since they felt like they could have stopped it if only they&#8217;d completely defeated Love Machine. This death brings to the forefront that people are going to die if Love Machine isn&#8217;t stopped.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">However, this death motivates the family to stop this from happening to other families and they embrace Sakae&#8217;s memory in how they finally defeat Love Machine. Though Sakae couldn&#8217;t be physically present for the end of Love Machine, she&#8217;s in Kenji and the Jinnouchi&#8217;s hearts the whole way.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>How this can be applied to writing: <\/b>Have you had a death as the midpoint twist to motivate your characters?<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"900\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/summer-wars-sakae_82s7.png?resize=640%2C360\" width=\"640\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;\">\n<b style=\"line-height: 20.79px;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">Have you&nbsp;seen&nbsp;<i>Summer&nbsp;Wars<\/i>?
