Katsuhiro Otomo's uneven but often dazzling anthology feature "Short Peace" reminds viewers of the untapped visual potential of animation. Go to Full Review Ard Vijn ScreenAnarchy 01/10/2020
What it does provide is a good overview of the talent and ability of the Japanese animation industry, if maybe not so much its storytelling capabilities. I recommend seeing it! Go to Full Review Joe Bendel Epoch Times 07/17/2016
4/5
Arguably, the constituent films of Short Peace proceed from best to worst, but the decline is remarkably gradual. Frankly, there is no clunker in the lot. Go to Full Review Jamie S. Rich Oregonian 05/20/2014

...one of the more satisfying cinematic anthologies I've seen. It's a mixed bag, but in the best ways possible. Go to Full Review Matt Kamen Observer (UK) 04/27/2014

Nate J @RT61469016 07/18/2024 I thought this was a great anime compilation up there with “The Animatrix”, “Halo Legends”, “Genius Party” “Robot Carnival” & “Memories”. Short and sweet. Thoroughly enjoyable. See more 12/14/2014 O mestre Katsuhiro Ôtomo lidera, com a deslumbrante "Hi no yôjin" ("Combustible"), uma nova antologia de quatro curtas de animação japonesas, que têm tudo para ser o rastilho do melhor anime dos próximos anos. A primeira curta - "Tsukumo" - é sem dúvida a mais fraquinha do conjunto, mas tudo o resto é ouro em termos de anime e o último segmento deixa-nos desesperados por novidades do desenhador Hajime Katoki. See more 11/18/2014 Style over substance, but really amazing style. See more 10/20/2014 Many diverse shorts, all about Japan, all diverse innovative and pretty unique (some more than others perhaps). My personal favourite: a tale of old japane told using the unusual perspectivee (pun intended) of classic japanese painting and prints. See more Read all reviews
