    Synopsis:

    In the ruins of a future Tokyo, a specialized team navigates a landscape dominated by autonomous weaponry. Composed of gruff, pragmatic individuals clad in formal attire, this unit confronts the remnants of a mechanized war – specifically, the relentless threat of self-operating tanks. The series explores themes of societal adaptation and survival within a drastically altered urban environment. Focusing on practical problem-solving and understated camaraderie, it depicts their efforts to neutralize these powerful machines, highlighting the human struggle against overwhelming technological forces. The atmosphere is one of quiet resilience amidst decay, emphasizing the mundane yet vital tasks required for existence in a world rebuilt upon the ashes of conflict. It’s a story less about grand battles and more about the gritty realities of rebuilding after devastation.

      Written and directed by Hajime Takoti (mecha designer on the Gundam series) and based off a manga by Katsuhiro Otomo, it's the tale of four men hunting down robots in an apocalyptic Tokyo. Farewell To Weapons is another heart-stopping addition to Short Peace. The moment when they spot a robot, the men quickly assume their positions and start off an epic battle of life or death with every shot building up to an impactful moment that hits you right in the face and boy, did I ever love the living crap out of this. I also enjoyed the comedy banter between the 4 men thathad a real feel of comradery and all of them were likable people. It also ends on a more comedic tone but it didn't bother me that much cause I had so much fun with this short that I couldn't care less if it ended sad or comedic.

      Buki yo Saraba was short, so I will keep my review short as well. Let me start with the positives : + Outstanding animation on the action scenes + great graphics, even in the desert setting +very well done CGI which flow perfectly + original weapon design / mech design / suit designHowever I would have loved more background on the story, more on the tanks too. What led to the war, are there other survivors, who is fighting who?nnThe tanks reminded me of Ghost In The Shell Tachikomas, a bit. The suits were a bit of a hybrid between an astronaut suit and some power armor. Very surprized by the quality of the military scenes.nnOverall 8/10

      Given an 8 because it was great! vocals were japanese english subtitles Last of the part package of anime Short Peace By far the most assuming of them all! Sure, there was no witty song used unless you consider the radio in the intro. Which was odd seeing how it was an american (english) song. You have your brotherhood of men fighting for a cause(stupid maybe but a cause). You have your exchange of blows. You have your surprises. There is some comedy some a bit 'dry'(inside joke).Although, nothing can top that ending. Not what i thought would happen at all. As it progressed i kept thinking there is only path it can take... wrong wrong wrong! nnIf you have some time to kill even if you are not a mech/scifi fan check this out.
