Jury Comments
　Takanori Angei (President, Good Smile Company, Inc.)
The aim of the setting is clear and the illustrations are precise. Various stories could be spun from here. I think this kind of highly expandable work is necessary for the future of animation.
　Mitsuhisa Ishikawa (President, Production I.G. Inc.)
Although the story could be called "royal road," the interesting setting gave us a "new" impression. There was room to imagine the world surrounding the central characters, and I felt a sense of expansion.
　Masuro Ueda (President, A-1 Pictures Inc.)
I was strangely moved from the middle of the film. Although there were some rough edges, I could see images like sunlight filtering through trees with pure colors.
　Takashi Kosaka (President, Nitroplus Inc.)
A decadent setting, a pleasant inorganic worldview, and characters that would be popular with the younger generation and women. All are attractive and I would like to see them well visualized. If the definition of "D," which is at the core of the story, could be further elaborated, it would be more convincing and the work would gain even greater recognition.
　Tomoji Matsukura (Executive Officer and General Manager of Production Division, J.C. Staff Co.)
The setting and the relationship values between the characters are interesting. The illustrations were well done and the work was highly favorable. It will be fun to express this good atmosphere in animation.
　Naoki Yoshida (Announcer, Nippon Broadcasting System, Inc. / "Animation Grand Prize" planner)
I think it is wonderful that the setting seems to create a variety of stories with ideas that can be endlessly varied from a single critical idea!
