2ch-- it's an anime, but it was created via stop-motion. And it's freakin' amazing. Watch this-- it's less than four minutes long, and if you don't I'm serious that you're missing out.
Touhou fans in particular should enjoy it, but don't let that stop you non-Touhou-fanatics.
My mind is totally blown. I have to go do something else now. *wobbles off*
(UPDATE: Reader Kiriska helpfully notes that the video part actually already existed, so the 'animation' is actually just printed stills from it-- but I still think it looks cool, so I'll just leave this here.)
One word: Amazing!
Dear Japan, and especially Niconico and Japanese Internet residents,
On behalf of the rest of the world, thank you for being so awesome.
Sincerely,
The rest of the Internet
It really is cool, I think the way they incorporate the surrounding apartment is petty awesome, while not as cool as the Pig/Wolf stop motion. It adds some to the original animation, but sometimes I like watching the original as the constant motion of the frames can get a bit nauseating on the stopmotion.
Both are really cool, and Bad Apple is just a catchy song.
Holy Crap, that was RAD rad!!! Around thirty frames per second! GOT to love high frame-rate animation.... Whew, I'm winded just watching it!
Must have taken forever to set up...
HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS OTAKU!! THIS IS AMAZING!!! AND DESERVES CAPS LOCK!!!
Agreed (on the catchy song thing.) Besides, you were just in on it before it was "cool" ^_^
