What they share

Both films are directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, Koji Morimoto, and they both carry the 3am cult, neon soaked, playful, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Short Peace, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
