Short Peace (Japan, 2013)

A compilation of four anime short films. 
PossessionsA lone traveler is confronted by unusual spirits in an abandoned shrine.
CombustibleA spectacular tale of love, honor and firefighting in ancient Japan.
Gambo - A mysterious white bear defends the royal family from the predations of a red demon.
A Farewell to Weapons - A tour-de-force saga of men battling robotic tanks in apocalyptic Tokyo. 

These are four insanely good-looking pieces of animation, and they're so Japanese that you'll probably keel over from the culture shock. Worth mentioning is that the second one, Combustible, is directed by Katsuhiro Otomo who gave us the classic Akira. Watch this one if you want some fast-paced anime action with masterful visuals.

Genre: Action/Animation/Adventure
