Review:
Story is especialy aimed at romance genre, but it has a comedy side aswell. But, it doesn’t have anything special added to it. It is just another comedy romance like alot of others out there. The love between Kenji and Natsuki slowly developes as story progresses, it starts from 0 at the time that the story begins and it ends with a romantic kiss infront of the whole family.
Characters are suprisingly normal. Natsuki is a popular pretty school girl that happend to need a fake boyfriend, and Kenji is a math genious that saves the world from total chaos (I don’t even know why non other math genious could do it). But hey, he is a hero and gets a pretty girl at the end. Sakae is very strict but at thesame time kind, she is like a perfect grandma. Natsukis family is just a bunch of random characters to fill in the background and have only few usefull moments in the whole anime.
Animation and music are great, the artwork is a bit diffrent from other animes what made it pretty amazing, music is also very fitting and fills in the missing parts to a perfect romance comedy.
To sum things up, the story line is pretty plain but enjoyable, animation and music filling in the missing parts.
Should you watch it? Yes you should, if you love romance animes, enjoy movies and want to watch a good one then Summer wars is just for you.
