The creator’s excellent drawing skills drew the highest praise. The music matches well with the animation, offering distinct depictions of Hokkaido where people live in harmony with nature. The pacing occasionally falls flat and could have been improved, but the simple editing succeeded in recreating the atmosphere of Hokkaido. The judges concluded this work most accurately embodies Hokkaido.
