When the movie first came out, I had no intention of seeing it. I didn't plan to see the movie when it first came out, but people around me were saying how good it was, so I went to see it, and I was hooked. I ended up going to the movie theater twice and also watched it twice on TV. This movie can be enjoyed no matter how many times you watch it, and the more you watch it, the more interesting it becomes. I am moved to tears every time I watch it. It is a masterpiece that I want to see at least 10 times before I die.
The last part is shocking
20s Male
At first, I didn't understand the story very well, but as the story unfolded, I was able to understand the story. The meteorite scene at the end is shockingly good.

Kenji, who loves mathematics, solves the sequence for a chance and sends it back to the sender. This email opens the door to a huge upheaval in both the cyber world and the real world.
Exciting feelings
20s Female
This work is about the virtual world of the internet. When I hear the words "internet" and "virtual world", I imagine a cold world with little human connection, but this movie is different. Summer Wars is about a virtual world where people are connected to each other and cooperate with each other, which gives me a warm feeling. It is also a movie that gives you an exciting feeling that is hard to experience in the real world.
This movie is what summer is all about
20s Male
This is a story about humans confronting artificial intelligence in order to protect world peace in the space of the Internet. Not only the scene where the main character is invited to the parents' house of the senior he admires, but also all the other scenes are interesting. Since this movie is about summer vacation, adults will probably feel nostalgic about good old school days.
No. 3 The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Story
After an accident, Makoto acquires "Timeleap", the ability to leap through time. Makoto is now able to use Timeleap to go back to the past at will. She uses her ability to get good grades in unannounced tests and to blame others for her failures.
She has limited number of timeleap
20s Female
This is a very well done movie as a timeleap story. The main character is limited in the number of times she can do a time leap, but she uses it many times. It made me think about how I would use it if I had the ability to do a time leap. The love story with Chiaki is sad.
The origin of time travel movies!
30s Male
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is a story that has been made into a movie many times. Among them, this movie especially shows the quality of the scenario by the original author, Yasutaka Tsutsui. It is also no exaggeration to say that this is the work of director Mamoru Hosoda. People who watch this movie will be able to recall their youth.
No. 4 Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro

Lupin and Jigen decide that "Gothic Bill" is their next target, and head for the small European country of the Count Cagliostro to investigate.
Scenery is beautiful
40s Male
The scene in which Lupin rescues Clarisse who was trapped in the castle, but fails, clearly shows Lupin's strong desire to protect Clarisse.Also, the last scene of Inspector Zenigata's closing line and the way the cops part is really great.
Hayao Miyazaki's mesmerizing Lupin
20s Male
This film has many great quotes. If there is anyone who hasn't seen this movie yet, I would definitely make them watch it, and I would go watch it with them. You will definitely fall in love with the coolness of Lupin, who can play both the evil thief and the hero of justice.

Chihiro's parents ate the food for the gods without permission, and were transformed into pigs. Chihiro didn’t eat but she was about to disappear, but then she was saved by a boy named "Haku" who knew Chihiro.
Haku is handsome
10s Female
This is a movie where Haku is just so cool. The last scene where Haku lets go of Chihiro's hand is very impressive.
I can feel Chihiro's hard work
30s Male
This is a famous work that is said to be the best work of Ghibli. Chihiro has lost her name and could not go home, but she works hard and tries to help Haku. It is very moving to see Chihiro grow up with him.

20s Female
A girl who is deaf and bullied and the bully who bullied her reunite in high school. They feel responsible for each other's past hurts and awkwardness, but can't control their feelings of love for each other. The drawings are natural, and the brush strokes make the viewer feel warm and fuzzy, and there are scenes that bring tears to the eyes. I recommend this work to anyone who wants to rethink the way they interact with people.

This is an anime movie that teaches us once again that every adult was a child. The reminiscence scene where Hiroshi looks back on his life from childhood to adulthood brings tears to my eyes, even though there is only music and no dialogue. The way Hiroshi works for his family every day, even on the hottest and hardest days, reminds me of my own father.
