Chiaki sounds like a futuristic name. :stuck_out_tongue:

#62

Really? Seriously? d:

#63

Beautiful still shots.

#64

I may be mistaken but I think this is the Japanese voice actress first gig.

#65

Why are Japanese fathers always clueless about their daughters in anime?

I forgot she had the counter reset to 1…

#66

Because their daughters don’t matter to them? :slight_smile:

I forgot she had the counter reset to 1…

And how did that happen?

#67

Time paradox. Technically it should be 0 I think because she remembers using the counter. But, I think the writers wanted a happy ending.

#68

Kind of weird that his counter didn’t reset too. Inconsistent.

#69

Really, that’s poor city planning. Why would you put a train crossing at the bottom of a hill, in a culture where many, many people use bicycles?

#70

I always thought that the woman at the museum had something to do with her counter resetting. She seemed to have way too much information, IYKWIM. :slight_smile:

#71

Some of the best blubbering in anime. Ugly, and more realistic… Not cute or funny…

#72

I think I need to watch this one again sometime. I’m kind of confused. :confused:

#73

I may be misremembering, but I think she has a side story novel.

#74

‘you throw like a girl’… snicker

#75

I watched it twice in one sitting the first time I think.

Edit: I definitely watched Summer Wars twice.

#76

Bewildered, she consults throughout the film with her ‘Auntie Witch’ (Sachie Hara/Saffron Henderson), who is implied to be Kazuko Yoshiyama, the protagonist of the original novel.

Two different entries.

Check this out:

2010 film

A third Japanese live-action film adaptation of Toki o Kakeru Sh?jo (???)[4] was announced in Yahoo Japan and released on March 13, 2010. The theme song of the film will be performed by Ikimono-gakari. The movie features Riisa Naka, who previously voiced the protagonist Makoto Konno in the 2006 animated film, as the lead character, Akari Yoshiyama, the daughter of Kazuko Yoshiyama.

I just watched the english version of Summer Wars today. MUCH easier to follow than that crappy chinese version I have, you could not turn off the chinese subtitles. So the subtitles overlapped and covered up a third of the picture, not to mention that the menus were almost impossible to navigate. For quite awhile I thought the DVD was flawed because I could not get the movie to start, I had to pixel hunt and click on al kinds of crap to get it to finally start.

Anyways the english version RULZ!:slight_smile:

#78

Summer Wars next week? (:

Too bad I watched it two weeks ago. But, I’ll give it a 4th run.

#79

I would be up for watching it again.

#80

I was frustrated because she was constantly jumping and yet never created any paradoxes. Or ran into herself, she seemed to be creating alternate timelimes rather than recrossing the same ones.
