The Japanese government has commissioned a 22-minute anime video called "Bokura no Saibanin Monogatari" (Our Jury Story) to teach its citizens about the re-introduced jury system. In July, Japan will implement jury trials for the first time in six decades, so most Japanese have never experienced jury duty. The anime uses a high school boy's one-sided infatuation for a classmate as an unusual segue to discuss the jury system.
Omnibus Japan and Tomason produced the animation in collaboration with Group TAC and Studio Cj. Veteran voice actress Minami Takayama (Detective Conan's Conan, Kiki's Delivery Service's Kiki and Ursula) plays the lovestruck boy Shōta alongside fellow cast members Yuki Tashiro, Daisuke Sakaguchi (Clannad's Youhei Sunohara), and Akeno Watanabe (To Love-Ru's Rito Yūki).

Where it came from
Our Jury Story, produced by Group TAC and released in 2009, serves as an original net animation designed to explain the Japanese lay judge system, known as saiban-in, to the general public. Created during a period of significant judicial reform in Japan, the short film was commissioned by the Japanese government to demystify the legal process and encourage civic participation among citizens who might be randomly selected for jury duty.
The animation employs a clear, approachable visual style intended to make complex legal concepts accessible to a broad demographic. By focusing on the perspectives of ordinary individuals navigating the courtroom environment, the production team aimed to alleviate public anxiety surrounding the mandatory nature of the system. While not a commercial narrative project, it remains a notable example of institutional educational media within the Japanese animation industry.
