First released in Japanese Theaters all the way back in 2009, Summer Wars was a massive critical and commercial hit at the time. The film tells the story of Kenji–a moderator for a virtual reality world that has become entwined with everyday life–who gets roped into a scheme to pose as a fake boyfriend to his friend Natsuki.

Things go haywire for Kenji after a rogue AI program steals his online identity and he’s accused for hacks that lead to real-world catastrophes, and he has to unite Natsuki’s family to help him stop an imminent cyber-apocalypse.

While this will be the first time Summer Wars has released on 4K, it’s not the first standard 1080p Blu-ray release. Funimation published the first Blu-ray edition back in 2011, and it has been reissued in the years since. That said, Summer Wars has been out of print for a while now. The standard Blu-ray edition releases alongside the Limited Edition Steelbook on April 1 and is up for preorder for $22 (was $27).
