Hello.
Does anyone know of any anime films that take place in summer or feel like "summer" anime?
Mostly in the slice of life genre..

Something like these:
-Only Yesterday
-Whisper of the heart
-Ocean Waves (I can hear the Sea) and generally most Ghibli films (I've seen them all)
-Summer Wars
-5 Centimeteres per second (2nd story)
-Summer Days with Coo

Uhm

My neighbour Totoro
Spirited Away

Both give off a very "summery" feel. Though it's not 'slice of life' those were the only summer films I could think of

konstantinos · 2010-06-27, 19:08

yes, thanks. i've seen all the Ghibli films. They're excellent.. I was wondering if there are others..

Well, you've got good taste. Seems like you've seen most of the good ones....how about The Girl Who Leapt Through Time? I didn't like the second half of that movie so much, but the first is very good and I think you'll probably like it. Though it seems likely that you've already seen that one too...

It seems to me that Piano no Mori takes place in summer - so my memory tells me, anyway. it has kind of a summer feel to it.

I second The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. It has the same studio, director and scriptwriter as Summer Wars. I would also have to recommend Air TV, Now and Then, Here and There and maybe Cross Game.

[edit]

Oops. Missed the films bit. Okay Air TV has a film adaption.

Thank you for your suggestions.
yes, I've seen both Piano no Mori, and girl who leapt through time which i found excellent too!

I would prefer if it were films and not TV series..

The OP asked for films.

AIR the Movie is set in the summer, and does have a little bit of a slice of life feel to it.

I can't come up with any not listed... maybe the second Ranma film, Ranma ½: Nihao my Concubine. It takes place on a tropical island, characters wearing bathing suits.... probably only for Ranma fans, lol.
