Short Peace is a 2013 multimedia project composed of four short anime films produced by Sunrise and Shochiku, which contains A Farewell to Weapons, Gambo, Combustible and Possessions. All films were animated by Sunrise. Possessions was directed by Shūhei Morita, Combustible was directed by Katsuhiro Ōtomo, Gambo was directed by Hiroaki Ando, and A Farewell to Weapons was directed by Hajime Katoki. Sentai Filmworks licensed the films for an English release on home media and released it on August 5, 2014.

Synopsis Possessions: One night during the 18th century, deep in the mountains, a man loses his way and comes across a small shrine. As he enters, the space transforms into a room of a different world. Combustible: The city of Edo, the 18th century. Owaka, the daughter of a merchant family, and her childhood friend Matsukichi. The two were drawn to each other, but Matsukichi has been disowned by his family, and is working for the city fire brigade. Meanwhile, negotiations begin for the arrangement of Owaka's marriage. Unable to let go of her thoughts of Matsukichi, her mad emotions make her bring about a massive inferno which razes Edo. By chance encounter, the two meet again amidst the fires. It is an epic spectacle set against the stage of the massive metropolis of Edo. Gambo: Gambo is about a battle between a creature who's been killing members of a royal Japanese family, and a mysterious white bear who protects them. A Farewell to Weapons: Based on a story by Otomo (Katsuhiro), it's about a ragtag group of hard-talkin', power suit-wearin' men tasked with disarming automatic tanks in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo.
