Pia has posted the full trailer for Mamoru Hosoda‘s Summer Wars, which will be released by Warner Bros. in Japan on August 1, 2009.
Plot: When timid eleventh-grader and math genius Kenji Koiso (Ryunosuke Kamiki) is asked by older student and secret crush Natsuki (Nanami Sakuraba) to come with her to her family’s Nagano home for a summer job, he agrees without hesitation. Natsuki’s family, the Jinnouchi clan, dates back to the Muromachi era (1336 to 1573), and they’ve all come together to celebrate the 90th birthday of the spunky matriarch of the family, Sakae. That’s when Kenji discovers his “summer job” is to pretend to be Natsuki’s fiance and dance with her at the birthday celebration. As Kenji attempts to keep up with Natsuki’s act around her family, he receives a strange math problem on his cell phone which, being a math genius, he can’t resist solving. As it turns out, the solution to the mysterious equation causes a bizarre parallel world to collide with Earth, and it’s up to Kenji and his new fake family to put reality back in order.

This film was very very good! I am Japanese, so I could see the film. The story of Love, a little Courage, and a Relative(and so on, but I cannot write down it more) is quite impressive.
If you have chance which you can see, you ought to see!

The part where they’re cheering him on at the end looks kinda cheesy, but it looks like it has good energy. I’m really looking forward to this one.
