When you’re right, you’re right, and director Mamoru Hosoda was right when he warned about the corrosive effect of ubiquitous technology on family and friends with Summer Wars. We Luv Video’s Animondays series continues with this winner of the 2010 Nippon Academy-sho Association award for best animated feature, a sweet yet action-packed story of a high school student who must balance his summer job as a sys admin in a massive virtual world (think a non-sucky Metaverse) with being invited to a friend’s family reunion and fighting off a rogue AI. Hilarious, touching, and timely: Watch it with someone you DM. – Richard Whittaker
