It would have been so much better if the T-Rex started chomping down on all the kids to prove it was real.

It feels kind of weird to give recommendations without taking into account my own preferences. I also feel like the critical reception on Summer Wars has gotten worse over time, but that could just be my innate bias speaking. I have no evidence either way.
But there isn't any melodrama through time in Summer Wars.

I love the word "fate."

the people around the world yelling "koi koi!" beg to differ
edit: misread the post, but will leave it because that part bugged me for some reason
why does everyone suddenly know the rules of this game? mass wiki?

Kanna jokes are getting old.
He was pretty dumb but I was more focused Illya and saber <3

This is the most important question.
Yeah seriously. EVERYONE IN THE WORLD PLAYS HANAFUDA

If only we could turn back the clock.
Seriously though that scene is stupid. Lots of kids like dinosaurs, but not a lot of kids would like to be in the same place as a live and unrestrained T-Rex.

probably the software that is bundled in with your OZ, like minesweeper.
I didn't know how to play Minesweeper for like 15 years

Maybe in the future Hanafuda will become a western fad, like Mancala.
Like what?

You must have missed the kid who excitedly asks, "Are they gonna eat us!?" It was clearly some sort of dinosaur-worshiping cult.

I've been meaning to watch Summer Wars for a long time. It's somewhere on my non-at-all-organized backlog of stuff I randomly decide to watch no particular order. Maybe I'll put it on priority soonish.

Summer wars is great. The only way it could be improved is a Ska soundtrack.

Didn't you mention you were a slow learner
Ah jk, I have no clue wtf minesweeper is about still. I don't know Hearts either... now that i think about it, all the games that come with windows have shit tutorials.
I need an anime about minesweeper pronto.
This needs to happen.

Sure it is.
Amazing Nurse Nanako 1-2 (dropped):
So bad that I zoned out within the first couple of minutes and just looked at the moving pictures without bothering to read the dialogue. I couldn't recall a single plot point even if my life depended on it. My memory consists of lots of boring vanilla tits & pantsu, REALLY LOUD SCREAMING, and some kind of evil catholic mad science organization. Wholly braindead.

Summer Wars would have been better if it hadn't been written by Satoko Okudera. :| Yoshida >>>>>> her

It would have been better with Digimon.
when I finally beat a game of Minesweeper on medium difficulty as a youngester I took a screengrab and cherished it until it vanished into the digital ether. For a brief moment, I felt kind of smart.
Exactly.

It had Digimon, just ones with poorer designs.

Things which aren't cute?
I only care about games that aren't impossible to win.
Speaking of which, how the hell did Hearts work? Did anyone ever successfully play that?

That's not really a conceit, actually. "Female who dresses as a boy and acts like a traditional male" is a well worn trope in itself, just like Ryuunosuke Fujinami from Urusei Yatsura.

Digimon are all uniformly awful, so that can't be true.
That reminds me of what I saw when I googled Gothicmade when it was brought up earlier:

Why must you keep being so wrong?
Not really true.
I like NFL football for example and its not cute. Neither is Detroit Metal City lol.
To be fair, I watched this a long time ago in my "watch every anime available" phase. I dont remember it being awful but it probably was.

There are :chet Digimon. Does that not count for anything?
It's not a real game unless you're killing something. Never bothered with it.

I hope that same guy has made every thread since 2007.
Huh, I didn't know she wrote The Princess and the Pilot.

What if you're killing time?
We've seen footage of Gothicmade, at least. I think we should be more worried about Magi.

I've been meaning to watch that, to see just how bad she is without Hosoda. I could also watch one of her live action movies, but that would be kind of unfair.
I didn't mean to imply that it was uncommon, merely that it's the thing that differentiates Ranmaru's character from the standard form of the trope.
b...but the face cards are holding swords...I think

To Love-ru 25
What is this seriousness? I want my crazy To Love-ru back. No wait, it's still here, false alarm.
And you will get none of this.
It's not a bad movie, it's just not a good one either. It's clearly not all Okudera's fault, but it's also clear that the script is nothing special.
