I was just wondering. Is anyone excited about the movie, Summer Wars coming to the usa? The usa company that'll distriute it on dvd to us will be, FUNimation Entertainment. Which is somthing of a surprise to me. Since, Warner Bros, had such a big part in this movie, i thought they would've distributed it in the usa. But they're not.
From Wikipedia...
"On January 5, 2010, British distributor Manga Entertainment announced they had licensed Summer Wars for the United Kingdom. The film is scheduled for a October 2010 release on DVD and Blu-ray. At Otakon 2010, North American anime distributor Funimation Entertainment announced that they have the rights to the movie and will release it in theaters in late 2010 and on DVD and Blu-ray in 2011."
As i read through a long list of acheivements on wikipedia - i was stunned to see how well it did. Don't get me wrong though! I love this movie! Even though i've only seen about the first half of it - will see the rest soon. I just didn't think they would get as many awards as they have. It's really a great, and amazing thing to see. Oneof my favorite qoutes is this...
"Justin Sevakis of Anime News Network gave the film an 'A' rating and wrote that "decades from now, Summer Wars will be seen as the official arrival of Mamoru Hosoda into the realm of historically important anime directors.""
