Cultural/Context information for the jury

Animated movie is a huge medium in Japan to reach younger generations. Voice actors have also a tremendous following on twitter. So we were able to create noise at the release of the movie. Also, a short trailer has been aired at 50 movie theaters throughout Japan before the high grossing animated movie "Weathering to you" directed by Makoto Shinkai for more impact.
