Short Peace
2013 · Movie · 68 min · ★ 6.4 · 95% critics
This animated anthology follows four very different tales set across Japan’s past and future, from eerie encounters at a deserted shrine to a historical firefighting drama, a mythic battle against a demon, and a high-tech war against machines. Each segment blends action, folklore, and sci‑fi with shifting tones and styles.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a varied anime anthology mixing folklore, sci‑fi, and intense action with a mature edge; Not for you if you prefer one continuous story or lighter comedy like Pop Team Epic.
Pros: inventive mix of genres; striking animation quality; plenty of action | Cons: uneven story depth; some segments feel slow; endings can feel abrupt
