Judges' Comments

It is a lot of work just to make a video of this length, but the love for Galliard and others can be felt throughout the entire video, which is just amazing.
The way the characters' lines and lyrics are woven together to create a video with a strong message is also very tasteful. I was very impressed by the high quality of this work of art. (Producer Hirasawa)

It was not difficult to imagine the considerable effort that went into the production of this piece. From illustration to direction and editing, it uses the full length of the vocal theme “IGNITION.”
Not only that, but the way the story is expressed through the lines and characters, and how they are superbly linked to the music, shows an extraordinary love for Another Eden. Hats off to you. (Sound Team Hayashi)

Wow, amazing! You have drawn a lot including the Riftbreaker and other enemies, and I just feel so much love.
I'm filled with respect for you as a creator.
I'm also very happy to see that you have drawn Galliard and others from all angles, despite their complex designs. (Art Team Takahito Exa)

Judges' Comments

Not only are they cute and captivating the moment you see them, but each piece is carefully crafted and comes together as an artistic whole.
I'm very happy to see that they were made with love and care. (Producer Hirasawa)

A quick glance and I thought, "Looks yummy!" Just looking at these sweets makes me happy!
If you look at them carefully, you can tell what kind of sweets they are, thanks to the ingenious way of presenting them. I think that kind of attention to detail is also wonderful. (Art Team Kawamura)

The way you made the mascots into chibi sweets is genius!
The pastel colors and the little shop-like arrangement are adorable.
The Kumos cookies baked to a golden brown look yummy. (Art Team Sato)

Producer's Comments

There are quite a few cards when it comes to all tarot cards. I was surprised to see that each one depicts a scene as well as a character.
I honestly would like to try fortune-telling with these handmade cards which give a feeling of warmth. (Producer Hirasawa)

Producer's Comments

It shines! It floats! It moves! I had my eye on it during the creation process as well.
Retro, Clock, and Macaron are some of my personal favorites and I would love to have them around. This piece brings that dream to life—well deserving of the Producer Award! (Producer Koike)

Judges' Comments

"What if Eden became the Goddess of Time?"
The subject matter is already amazing.
I could tell from the content that you have read the scenario in depth and put your passion into it.
"What-If" stories are created by adding your own interpretation and ideas to the core of the Main Story. This is filled with the best parts of a fan-made work! (Scenario writer Fujishiro)

Since this is a work by one of our global players, I was only able to read a version translated into Japanese by our team, but even then, I was able to feel just how much love was poured into it. A wonderful piece of writing that made me realize how passionate our overseas players are. We accepted submissions from both in and out of Japan, but this one really takes the passion cake! (Koike, Global Producer)

Judges' Comments

The lighting of each of the four pictures and the atmosphere created by the beauty of the colors expresses the diversity of the world of Another Eden. The coloring of the entire screen when they are combined and the attractive composition of the characters are outstanding. This work has an excellent sense of balance and is very pleasing to my eyes! (Art Team Takahito Exa)

It is composed of four pictures, all of which are attractive and well balanced when put together in one picture!
It's very appropriate for this timing, as it reminds us of the adventures from Main Story Part 3 Volume 1, making me feel deeply touched.
I never get tired of looking at it, and want to keep gazing at it forever. (Art Team Kawamura)

Judges' Comments

There are so many characters, and each frame is so cute!
The understanding and love for the characters is amazing.
I know there wasn't much time between the announcement of Jet Tactician and the deadline for this art contest. Thank you for drawing him despite that.
I had to pause and seriously spot the differences for Yu-Queen. (Art Team Sato)

It's filled with fun and love for the characters, and I found myself smiling the whole time I was staring at it!
Various characters, mainly from the Eastern mythos, are frolicking about at each of the attractions, and I was astonished by the artist's deep understanding of each character.
I couldn't hold my tears in seeing cu... Senya and Rei having fun together.
Thank you for a wonderful piece! (Art team, Yamamoto)

Judges' Comments

I was impressed by the brilliant pixel-art and 8-bit sound that gave the game an air of a retro game of yesteryear.
I myself learned what the essence of the game is in the way the world is expressed within the daringly difficult limitations.
Also, the detailed presentation of the title screen after the introduction was satisfying and made me go "Of course!" (Sound Team Hayashi)

Music doesn't need to be complex. This piece proved that simplicity holds up and that game music merged with visuals and presentation can move hearts.
Detailed expressions like the equalizer and piano roll showing up onscreen real-time pulled my heartstrings. (Sound team Yamagami)

Judges' Comments

The powerful yet crystal clear voice, reminiscent of Wryz, is very nice.
Also, the arrangements are superb, with a sense of nostalgia while combining digital and rock genres.
In fact, it is extremely close to our original direction and concept, and (Scenario writer) Fujishiro-san and I nodded to each other as soon as we heard it. (Sound Team Hayashi)

I was moved by the theme of "What if the Wryz Saga had been passed down to AD 1100"!
The arrangement is very fitting for the Future Era, and the vocals evoke Wryz's strength. Wryz would surely be satisfied to know her saga had been passed on like this.
The part where Nca is defeated by Melpi was also funny. (Scenario writer Fujishiro)

Judges' Comments

If Emur existed in real life, this is definitely what it would look like. I am very impressed!
Each element has a handmade feel and warmth, which I think leads to a Refleque-like expression.
It is also wonderful that it can actually glow as a lamp! Truly beautiful! (Art Team Kawamura)

The ambiance of Emur brought to life in 3D!
The cobblestones, which look perfect for a stroll, the mushrooms and tree color combinations and translucent colors—the detailed expressions are all excellent.
The fantastic mood when the lights are on is also lovely. I could almost hear the music coming from the village just by gazing at this piece, and it was so moving. (Art team, Sato)

Judges' Comments

So cute I wish we could make this into official merch!
The size is oh-so-perfect.
It looks so adorable and edible. I could eat it right up.
The pastel colors and fluffiness—everything is just divine.
Thank you! (Art team, Sato)

I'll take 100, thanks.
So I can live my life smothered in Yip yip (Kuramaru).
Are you telling me it's not for sale???? How unfair... The quality is that good. It took me by surprise!
It's the perfect amount of chibi-fication that makes my heart go cu-cu-cu-cutie-Senya!
You have my wholehearted gratitude! (Art team Yamamoto)

Judges' Comments

I was immediately drawn in by the powerful composition as soon as I saw it.
The feeling of running on the seafloor is depicted well, and the exciting feeling when entering the undersea area in the story, including its atmosphere, comes back to me. (Producer Hirasawa)

It's very dynamic!
The contrast between the dark blue of the seafloor and the yellow of the Zomas 86's lights is very beautiful.
The enemy in the lower left is probably a Piranha Weapon, and if you look closely, you can also see lights in the back that seem to be also enemies. I think these factors contribute to creating a convincing picture. (Art Team Kawamura)

Nona is having fun, and Myrus is full of energy.
Yakumo can't quite go all out, and Clarte's wings stand out onstage...
This piece evokes so many feelings for each character!
I was reminded of that dreamlike concert. (Scenario writer Fujishiro)

Thank you for illustrating the dream we witnessed onstage at the recent Another Eden concert!
Aldo and Nona's interactions are very in-character, as well as the band members. I love that it feels like I could encounter them somewhere in time and space. (Sound team Yamagami)

Judges' Comments

It is a delicate, beautiful, and peaceful work of art.
I would like to see it against a variety of seasonal backgrounds, such as cherry blossoms, sunflowers, autumn leaves, and snow fields. (Art Team Kawamura)

The composition and the detailed patterns are very carefully presented. How exquisite!
Props to the artist's ingenuity, blending the work with the landscape to add color to the artwork itself.
I feel the artist's affection towards not only Nekoko-sama, but also the maple leaves, feathers, and each and every flower. (Art team, Sato)
