Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Summer Wars is a 2009 anime Science Fiction and Slice of Life film. The film focuses on a timid eleventh grade math genius named Kenji Koiso who has been falsely implicated in the hacking of a virtual world and, with the aid of a classmate's extensive family, must prevent the real and computer simulated worlds from colliding. It was produced by the Japanese animation studio Madhouse and was directed by Mamoru Hosoda.The project was first announced without a title at the 2008 Tokyo International Anime Fair, and the first trailer of the film was released in April 2009. Audience interest was fueled primarily through word of mouth and Internet publicity. Two manga adaptations of the film were published ahead of the film's release in Japan and South Korea. Funimation acquired the distribution rights to the film, and has set it up with some of their biggest names in ADR dubbing. FUNimation also set up a theatrical release in select cites starting in December 2010, and a DVD and Blu-Ray release in February 2011.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The film is similar to the same director's earlier work, the Digimon feature film Our War Game (2000), released in English as part of Digimon: The Movie. The premise of an internet virus causing real world problems is similar and the artistic design of The Metaverse is shared between both films, depicting the virtual realm as a white void decorated with floating two-dimensional shapes in which all characters have red outlines, as well as with "Superflat Monogram," a Louis Vuitton promotional video also directed by Hosoda.It has a manga spin-off: Summer Wars: King Kazma vs Queen Oz, a prequel which focuses on Kazuma.

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents
 Summer Wars / int_1434e55c
comment
Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: The Jinnouchi family have strong vibes of this. Especially in the ending with encouraging Kenji and Natsuki to kiss. Also of note is when three of Natsuki's aunts grill her after they discover her scheme and they realize that the CV she gave Kenji is pretty much Wabisuke's CV, leading them to remember a few events from her childhood that directly point to her crush on her uncle. Natsuki then bursts into hysterical tears and begs them to stop and forget everything!

 Summer Wars / int_1439161f
comment
Heroic B.S.O.D.: Kazuma, after Love Machine version 3 breaks out of his prison, transformed in to a massive monster made of avatars when Kenji and company had thought they had successfully trapped him. Kenji shakes him repeatedly, trying to snap him out of it, but he only does so after its too late to save King Kazma from getting hurled in to the cloud-wall surrounding OZ. Still later, it's subverted, as Kenji's faced with a third re-encryption from Love Machine after frantically solving the first two on paper. He stares blankly at the screen for a long moment — and then, as he starts to slowly type out the solution one key at a time, it becomes clear he's trying to solve it entirely in his head. Natsuki enters one after Sakae's death. First she's numb and then she breaks down crying. Natsuki verges on one when she loses too many accounts to ante up for the ultimate hand of Hanafuda, but rallies when hundreds of thousands of Oz users offer up their accounts for her to use.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: So a weapon set loose by America onto Japan threatens nuclear fallout, eh? Is it just a coincidence that a movie that's being distributed by Warner Bros. features two scenes of a badass rabbit kicking the ever loving crap out of an evil looking kid in mouse ears? Ryohei's baseball game parallels the conflict of Jinnouchis vs. Love Machine perfectly.

The Virus: Justified — Love Machine is explicitly a botnet, a program designed to be this trope. His evolution even mirrors the progress of a worm — he starts off as an "evil" version of Kenji's avatar — the initial infection-but gradually gains more menacing forms as he assimilates more computing power.

Hollywood Hacking
 Summer Wars / int_2be271c7
comment
Hollywood Hacking: Better then one might expect, Love Machine functions much like a real hacker would: Love Machine begins by crowd-sourcing an encryption to break a password to gain high level admin privileges making it effectively the legitimate owner of Oz. Stealing accounts which are evidently able to command computer resources allows Love Machine to act as bot-net. Additionally most of Love Machine's mischief comes from abusing other legitimate access from accounts it has stolen. All of this is very much real to life in concept, and possible given Oz's bizarrely powerful yet insecure structure, a 256-digit number is not a long enough master password for controlling such a network OS that for can't be manually shut down and restored by the owners. Cyber-physical combat as a distraction to lure a program/bot-net into some undescribed structural trap or betting accounts on a card game, purely this trope. Lots of Rule of Cool. The spamming encryption passwords is plausibly a form of numerical CAPTCHA for the support team. In general, nobody who didn't know the formula to crack the numbers would be able to do anything with the mess of numbers in front of them on the screen.

Sore Loser: While Love Machine is programmed to love games, it apparently wasn't taught anything about sportsmanship. When Kazuma beats it, it turns itself into a Game-Breaker to take it in the second round. When Sakae used her connections to help Japan cope with all the carnage he unleashed he disabled her heart monitor, allowing her to die of a heart attack. Finally when Natsuki beats it in Koi Koi, Love Machine tries to nuke her house and kill her entire family with a falling satellite.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: Twice family members inadvertently sabotage attempts to defeat Love Machine just as it was on the verge of defeat, first the kids piling in and distracting Kazuma, then Shota taking the ice blocks, causing the supercomputer to fry just as Love Machine had almost been contained. Kenji initially thinks it's his fault that Love Machine acquired access to OZ's mainframe because he cracked the code. It's ultimately subverted: not only did several people around the world solve it before him, but he had made a mistake on the last word anyway. Wabisuke was the one who developed Love Machine and sold it to the military so his family would be wealthy once again. Then the military decides to test Love Machine out on OZ, and...

Bratty Half-Pint: The younger kids. Part of the reason Kazuma loses his first fight with Love Machine is because they're dicking around with the computer during the fight. Then (in the manga at least) have the nerve to say "Aw, you got hit!" Yeah, that tends to happen WHEN YOU'RE DISTRACTING HIM.

I Know Mortal Kombat: Inverted. Kazuma and Mansuke actually are quite skilled at martial arts in the real world, and they are somehow able to apply these skills inside Oz. note Computers in this universe use the same keyboard-and-mouse interface we use today, so any martial arts matches inside Oz are not going to be anything like real martial arts matches; Instead, they'll probably be more like modern fighting video games.

Virtual Danger Denial: Most of the family doesn't realize how serious the problem of the internet being taken over by a rogue AI is, inadvertently sabotaging attempts to defeat it twice- first when the AI still possessed only a single avatar, and again by removing ice that was cooling a supercomputer when it was on the verge of containing it. Only after it aims a space probe at a nuclear power station do they realize the magnitude.

Oh, Crap!: There are several moments of the characters realizing that they are in serious trouble. Kenji's look when he sees that not only has Love Machine stolen his avatar and it's also hijacked a bunch of others. Then his temporary avatar gets punched in the face. Kazuma gets one (reflected by King Kazma) when Love Machine goes One-Winged Angel on it and grabs him before throwing him into a wall. It's also combined with a Heroic B.S.O.D., as Kazuma is so shocked that no amount of shaking from Kenji can get him to react and move out of the way. Wabisuke gets one when he realizes that Love Machine inadvertently caused Sakae's death. Natsuki gets this when she momentarily gets distracted during her Hanafuda match with Love Machine and consequently loses too many accounts to continue her match. Love Machine also has one, represented by its pupils shrinking in size, when Kazuma, having regained his avatar, charges at it and punches it so hard it shatters.

Convection Schmonvection: Averted. When installing a supercomputer (intended for a cooled server room) in the family's home during a heat wave, they pack it tight surrounded by ice and seal the room to keep heat from the outside from seeping in. Even that doesn't work thanks to Shota, and even then, Shota himself had this trope in mind by moving the ice from the alcove to Sakae's bedroom to keep her corpse from decomposing in the heat.

Too Dumb to Live: Nearly the entire family until it's explained just how high the stakes are in their situation. One particular example is Shota taking the computer's cooling ice blocks to keep Grandma Sakae's body from overheating. This almost leads to their death. It's justified in that the family is in mourning over the loss of their matriarch. While some members of the family are focusing on getting revenge on the virus that caused her to die, most of them are simply dealing with the loss and focusing on all the work for the funeral. When that sort of thing happens to people, their instinct tends to be to turn their focus inward. The U.S. military deciding to test out Love Machine by releasing it into Oz, which is used by most world governments.

Scrub: Like the Computer Is a Cheating Bastard example above, this one is in-universe. Kazuma identifies Love Machine as one by name; loves games but has no skill at playing them, and compensates with an overpowered character, cheating, and flipping the board by way of attempting to bomb the family's house.

Shout-Out
 Summer Wars / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Oz from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Oz's virtual guardians are two whales called John and Yoko. The first encrypted message begins with "The magic words are squeamish ossifrage", the text of a famous cryptography puzzle. The storyline is similar to the 1983 film WarGames: a young man takes up a challenge from a rogue AI, releases it upon a vast network of computers and almost brings about the destruction of the world. Furthermore, the original creator of the rogue AI finally has the chance to repent for his sins. The Nakama Punch from One Piece movie #6 shows up and it's as awesome now as it was then. King Kazma is a likely reference to Cave Story. King and Kazuma are two characters from the game. The anthromorphic rabbit design supports this. The satellite photos and coordinates of the nuclear power plants were real. For example they show the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant (China), Cattenom Nuclear Power Plant (France), Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (USA), and Limerick Nuclear Power Plant (USA). Some of the coordinates have typos in them though. The list of people other than Kenji that managed to solve the code from Oz's security system have names slightly modified from the names of noted mathematicians. For example, Andrey John Wiles = Andrew John Wiles, famous for proving Fermat's Last Theorem. Love Machine's body language during its first fight with King Kazma is highly reminiscent of the Evangelions in Berserker mode. It helps that Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, the character designer for this movie also did Evangelion before this. The face of Love Machine's second form very strongly resembles that of Mazinger Z. The visual style of OZ, especially the large centrepiece in the middle◊, is highly reminiscent of the works of Japanese artist Takashi Murakami◊. "You have to protect others, in order to protect yourselves." This one's admitted as a shout-out. The book Pieces Of Earth which Love Machine crashed into. Love Machine, using Kenji's hijacked avatar, dons a blue cape with stars on it and stands atop a rocky point waving his arms about directing his stolen avatars, strongly resembling the scene in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" where Mickey directs the stars in the sky. Love Machine's final form of a great dark shape with two protrusions on its head, shown from the waist up coming out from atop the ruins of the prison it broke out of, also bears a very strong resemblance to Chernobog in Night on Bald Mountain. For that matter, the music sounds like Night on Bald Mountain. Love Machine is most likely named after the disco piece by The Miracles. On the other hand Love Machine could be named after the Morning Musume which is considered to be their signature song. Kenji's hijacked avatar carrying an enormous key is a blatant reference to Sora.

Freudian Excuse: Illegitimate son Wabisuke sells off his portion of grandpa Tokue's inheritance in order to fund his computer science education in America. His family believes he did it selfishly but it was actually so he could land a contract with the US military to bring wealth back to his family. Self-conscious about his bastard origins, he was just looking for a "Well Done, Son!" Guy moment from his adopted mother Sakae.

Armies Are Evil: The U.S. Deparment of Defense was the one who released Love Machine on Oz in the first place. On a lesser note, while the Japanese government isn't nearly as antagonistic, they still show shades of this along with some major incompetence what with Shouta's impulsiveness and the fact that an elderly woman with a land line was better able to organize a response to the cyber attack than they were.

Mundane Made Awesome: Scribbling on notepaper and rapidly tapping keyboards have never been so epic. The Hanafuda match for the fate of the world starts out pretty awesome already, but then John and Yoko grant Natsuki a rare angelic kimono for her avatar and it gets crazier from there, culminating in a meteor strike-esque (with an explosion of Cherry Blossoms upon impact) slamming down of the last card. Epic use of a rotary dial phone and an address book!

The Cavalry
 Summer Wars / int_d9e9ad7e
comment
The Cavalry: Towards the end of the movie Natsuki challenges Love Machine to a cyber card game in which the stakes are her avatar and her family's versus the over 400 million the virus has claimed. The game goes well for awhile, but Natsuki is momentarily distracted by the clock and loses a critical hand. She doesn't have enough accounts left to place the minimum bet, and all hope seems lost... until a horde of people from all over the world give her their accounts so that she can cover the bet. A very nice twist on this trope in that the Cavalry is saving the day by putting themselves entirely into the hero's hands — far from taking the glory away from the hero, these people are giving Natsuki what she needs to win one last hand with her own skills.

Light Is Not Good: Love Machine's second avatar invokes this trope, with a Deva-like appearance and a golden halo (which he uses to store hijacked avatars) floating behind him. Seen in full horrific detail when he consumes King Kazma—the halo, now a repository for half a billion avatars, emits a light so blinding it negates the ambient lighting of OZ itself.

Plot Tailored to the Party
 Summer Wars / int_e71ad328
comment
Plot Tailored to the Party: In a story that revolves around the theme of family, there's no surprise that the 'war' the titles refers to is waged by pooling all the various family member's resources and skills each member has. Who would have thought being good at card games, maths problems, and fighting games would be so critical for survival? It's more believable than most examples. They are a fairly large family and one of the members invented the AI so they know how to beat it. They are obviously choosing to combat the AI on their own terms. For example, they could have challenged Love Machine to any game, but chose a specific card game the family was good at. Furthermore, the use of a fisherman's boat as a power source, a salesman's super-computers, and a trio of firefighters' skills come in handy at multiple points during the movie.

20 Minutes into the Future: The story is set in 2010 and supposedly by then a colossal virtual city full of corporate users is will be released and become widespread.

The Assimilator: Love Machine works by absorbing avatars and their associated accounts until the bulk of OZ is part of it.

Product Placement: Surprisingly the English version didn't wipe these out. You got Dr. Pepper, iPhones, and Dell Computers to name a few.

Everything Is Online
 Summer Wars / int_f6507695
comment
Love Machine begins by crowd-sourcing an encryption to break a password to gain high level admin privileges making it effectively the legitimate owner of Oz. Stealing accounts which are evidently able to command computer resources allows Love Machine to act as bot-net. Additionally most of Love Machine's mischief comes from abusing other legitimate access from accounts it has stolen. All of this is very much real to life in concept, and possible given Oz's bizarrely powerful yet insecure structure, a 256-digit number is not a long enough master password for controlling such a network OS that for can't be manually shut down and restored by the owners.

 Summer Wars / int_fb56b948
comment
My Sister Is Off-Limits!: Although he's only her second cousin, Shota is VERY opposed to Kenji's apparent relationship with Natsuki and loudly voices his disapproval right up to the end of the movie.

One-Winged Angel
 Summer Wars / int_fc33ff16
comment
Kazuma gets one (reflected by King Kazma) when Love Machine goes One-Winged Angel on it and grabs him before throwing him into a wall. It's also combined with a Heroic B.S.O.D., as Kazuma is so shocked that no amount of shaking from Kenji can get him to react and move out of the way.

Cherry Blossoms
 Summer Wars / int_fca96b8e
comment
The Hanafuda match for the fate of the world starts out pretty awesome already, but then John and Yoko grant Natsuki a rare angelic kimono for her avatar and it gets crazier from there, culminating in a meteor strike-esque (with an explosion of Cherry Blossoms upon impact) slamming down of the last card.

Gondor Calls for Aid
 Summer Wars / int_fe5e40e2
comment
Gondor Calls for Aid: Grandma Sakae's epic use of her address book and a rotary dial phone to bring order to the entire nation of Japan after Love Machine starts sowing chaos. When Love Machine gets the upper hand in the Hanafuda battle and Natsuki doesn't have enough accounts to bet with. The whole world, who was watching the battle, starts sending their accounts to help her out.

Evil-Detecting Dog
 Summer Wars / int_ff6ae1f6
comment
Evil-Detecting Dog: Hayate can detect evil from orbit,. It also alerted the family about Granny Sakae while everyone was sleeping. The first time we see Wabisuke, he's petting the dog and asking if he's forgotten him. It's a hint that in spite of his bastard demeanour and strained relationship with grandma, he's not so bad after all. It also whines when Shouta takes Kenji away, a hint that Kenji is not as bad as the family thinks.
