Tsukumo

Written and directed by Shurei Morita (Tokyo Ghoul), this short tells the tale of a traveler who's confronted by spirits on a strange shrine during a crazy storm. This short is really beautiful with some pretty inventive scenarios and a great message on kindness and the need to help the unfortunate, even spirits (from what I got in my first viewing). Top it off with some great CG animation by Sunrise (who also animated all the shorts for Short Peace) that looks far superior than recent Sunrise properties (*cough* Valrave *cough*) and imaginative spirit designs with each spirit giving a unique look and charm. Possessions ... starts the compilation strong and steady and easily, a wonderful short that truly deserved the nomination for Best Short FIlm.... Too bad it didn't win squat.

Writing and Direction by Shuhei Morita |
Plot of the short film revolves around a lone traveler is confronted by unusual spirits in an abandoned shrine where he seeks ... shelter in the stormy night amidst a silent forest. The humility and the humbleness of an honest human heart are depicted vividly in this short film, despite the hardships. The artwork and animation belong to a bit of different category. The CGI Graphic animation and the special effects in this short anime film are praiseworthy.

Genre (s) – Comedy | A Happy Ending | Runtime – 24 minutes approximately (fractions excluded)

Ahcha Gahcha I love that catchy little song!

Aside from the little song you got to love the c.p.u. animation. It is more digital then regular animation. A 3d outlook if you will. Another aspect of love is you never know what will happen.

Normally i don't like japanese audio... this time i loved it!

... However, one draw back is the intro is not quite related to this.

sincerely your reviewer,
snapler

would have appreciated this to be mini series. Something with more of those catchy songs and animation style. This anime certainly wasn't 'broken' (inside joke)
