"GENIUS PARTY" is an anthology of short animated films from Studio 4.C, who are best known for their "Animatrix" and "Tekkonkinkreet" projects. The project’s theme given to seven and five selected directors for "Genius Party" (2007) and was "ZERO regulation on creation." Under this ultimate freedom, 12 geniuses created something special and unique for themselves.
Director Shinichiro Watanabe ("Cowboy Bepop," "Samurai Champloo") said in an interview, "All of my anime is about guns, swords, blood, etc. Using this opportunity, I just wanted to make a real love story which I’ve never done before." His "Baby Blue" in "Genius Party", featuring the voice of Yuya Kagura ("Nobody Knows") and Rinko Kikuchi ("Babel") is a beautiful love story that cannot be missed.
