ã€COMMENT】The artwork, story and character design all suggest solid overall skills. Despite the fact that a wide variety of events is depicted, including a breathtaking aerial combat and a boisterous summer festival, in a relatively short running time, it is amazing how everything is comprehensively put together without giving away a sense of discursiveness.

Hidehito Yamaoka (Screenplay/ Direction)This film was produced as a project when I was a student. A genuine "probe in the dark" while still learning the ropes, I recall that our guiding principle, which was positive but somewhat audacious, was to incorporate as much as possible elements with high levels of difficulty. Some aspects of the film make me cringe, but I am sure the other personnel who are all established professionals will be overjoyed with the award. Thank you very much.
