Suda 51 and Grasshopper are back with Ranko Tsukigime's longest day , and they've brought some anime with them with them too.
Dealspwn: Looking for a fantastic anime compilation from new and old talent? With a playable game from Suda51 as part of the package? Well it's your lucky day, since Short Peace: Ranko Tsukigime's Longest Day is less than a fiver £4.85 on PS3, the cheapest prices we've ever seen.
It's a feature-length compilation of five standalone anime shorts, each hailing from a luminary in the field or left-field upstart. We have an opportunity to savour Shuhei Morita's Oscar-nominated Possessions, a fascinating and playful tale of animism that puts Pixar to shame, while Akira creator Katsuhiro Otomo sallies forth with the breathtakingly lovely Combustible. Hiroaki Ando and Gundam mech designer Hajime Katoki join them, bringing unique storytelling and eyepopping visual flair to the mix.
Complete and unabashed weirdness, refreshing in a way that will bolt you to place until you’ve fully experienced it.
