This year marks the 15th anniversary of the theatrical release of "Summer Wars," and it has been decided that the film will be shown nationwide for a limited two-week period starting July 26, as part of the revival screening project organized by the movie, drama, and anime review service "Filmarks."

"Summer Wars," directed by Mamoru Hosoda, is an animated film set in the Japanese summer and has been beloved both in Japan and around the world. The screening schedule is strategically set around August 1, the birthday of Sakae Jinnouchi, the great-grandmother of Natsuki, the protagonist Kenji's senior and crush, which is a significant date in "Summer Wars." In addition, various special plans to celebrate the 15th anniversary are being prepared, including the distribution of original attendance gifts, with more details to be announced later.

Synopsis:

This is a new kind of war.
A boy, whose only skill is mathematics, tackles a global crisis originating from a virtual space called "OZ," along with his crush's large family in the rural Nagano prefecture. The film blends a grandiose battle and delicate human drama to deliver a summer action family movie, combining the disparate themes of the internet and a traditional rural family.
