Studio 4°C, the coolest label on the planet, invites us for the second time to an exclusive reunion of a talents with a group film, full of freedom and ingenuity, that goes from Mahiro Maeda's classic anime, to Kazuto Nakazawa's intricate urban sketches, Shinya Ohira's bedlam of color and Tatsuyuki Tanaka's animated cyberpunk. And as if that wasn't enough, Koji Morimoto, the studio big boss, is charge of putting the icing on the cake with fantafabulous piece of abstract poetry that would make a VJ die of ecstasy.

Standout Aspects

Direction

Five completely distinct visual languages, zero corporate notes.

Production

Morimoto's closing abstract poem that breaks your brain pleasantly.

Best for:Solo: Late night when you want your eyeballs hijacked.·Friends: With that one friend who claims they've seen everything.·Rewatch: Pause constantly to appreciate the frame-by-frame insanity.
Heads up:Disturbing: Shinya Ohira's segment is pure sensory assault—epilepsy warning legit.·Violence: Nakazawa's urban segment gets unexpectedly brutal.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Shinya Ohira animated his entire segment almost single-handedly, which explains why it looks like nobody told him no.

Cultural

This was Studio 4°C's middle finger to the anime industry's rigid production pipelines—proof that artistic anarchy can still get funded, barely.
