Kenji is your typical teenage misfit. He’s good at math, bad with girls, and spends most of his time hanging out in the all-powerful, online community known as OZ. His second life is the only life he has – until the girl of his dreams, Natsuki, hijacks him for a starring role as a fake fiancé at her family reunion. Things only get stranger from there. A late-night email containing a cryptic mathematic riddle leads to the unleashing of a rogue AI intent on using the virtual word of OZ to destroy the real world, literally.  As Armageddon looms on the horizon, Kenji and his new “family” set aside their differences and band together to save the worlds they inhabit in this near-perfect blend of social satire and science fiction.

 

I got to see this movie during the first anime club meeting of this school year, and I thought it was great. Discuss.

[Legend Zero]

Been watching it every 3 months for a long time. Amazing movie.

[The Warden]

Very cool movie, and also one of my favourite turnaround wins against a villain

[Shradow]

I'm gonna have to pick up a copy of this sooner or later, maybe at the next con I go to, since they're my excuse to splurge out on dvds and other anime paraphernalia.

This is my favorite anime movie for sure. It had heart, fluid animation, interesting story with suspense and drama, the works.

And it felt like a throwback to movies I watched as a kid in terms of tone, I don't know how to explain it, but it was a good thing.
