Message: [QUOTE="MrChester, post: 322744, member: 291148"] Did you know that the director also directed the first Digimon film? Summer Wars is actually a fully realised adaptation of the concept from the digimon film just done on a larger scale - both films hit all the exact same plot points, even defeating the antagonist via the same method. Just about everything (including the nuclear threat) is the exact same. They even have stylistic similarlites as in both films the internet world is portrayed by using softer, coloured outlines for the characters and peculiar discordant backgrounds. Summer Wars is obviously a better crystalisation of the idea but it's fascinating to watch the concept develop across two different tellings of the same story. [B]Hosoda Mamoru is the name of the director - their body of work is definitely worth checking out if you enjoyed this.[/B] [/QUOTE]
