Short Peace

Short Peace (ショート・ピース) is a multimedia project consisting of four short anime films produced by Sunrise and Shochiku, and a video game developed by Crispy's! and Grasshopper Manufacture. The four films were released in Japanese theaters on July 20, 2013, and were screened in North America during April 2014. Sentai Filmworks has licensed the films for North America. The video game was released in January 2014 in Japan, April 2014 in Europe, and September 2014 in North America. The game's physical releases in Japan and Europe include the four animated shorts as a bonus. The short films are: "Possessions", "Combustible", "Gambo", and "A Farewell to Weapons". The overarching theme of the project is Japan, with each entry representing a different setting within the country's history. The anime shorts represent different historical periods of Japan, while the video game represents the modern era. The game, titled "Short Peace: Ranko Tsukigime's Longest Day," is a side-scrolling platformer where players control the schoolgirl-assassin Ranko Tsukigime as she escapes pursuing spirits and completes various tasks.
