What happens

Short Peace (Japanese: ショート・ピース, Hepburn: Shōto Pīsu) is a multimedia project composed of four short anime films produced by Sunrise and Shochiku, and a video game developed by Crispy's! and Grasshopper Manufacture. The four films were released in Japanese theaters on July 20, 2013, and were screened in North America during April 2014. Sentai Filmworks have licensed the films for North America.
