What is it that Japan can really pride itself on today? The beauty of Mount Fuji? Our untiring diligence? The young pitcher standing on the mound in the major leagues? Of course, you could count all of these. But, aren't you forgetting something? There is a part of Japan that people all over the world, from Hollywood bigwigs to children running down the back alleys, are astounded by, are crazy about, and love. That is anime. Summer, 2007. Anime will stun the world once again. Under the name of Studio 4C, the greatest talents in all of current Japanese animation will be gathered.They have made an unprecedented omnibus movie. Unfolding on the canvas of their infinite imagination, with bold yet refined filming techniques. An of course, a breathtaking story. As the personalities of the 7 auteurs sometimes conflict, sometimes resonate, it will strike the audience's senses. Genius Party --- THIS work is what Japan can be proudest of in this world.
