I can't believe how organic Chi and Makina's exchanges are-stuttering, repeating messages, one talking over the other... it just works seamlessly.

It is astonishing that Kameyama has just finished an art school and this film was made as his graduation art. The creator is truly talented, can’t wait for more from him.

"I'm never going for a ride with you ever again, Chi." As the person behind the wheel and the person with a plasma cannon, I feel that the result of going for a ride with Chi was 80% _your_ fault.

I love the chemistry between these two. Literally just two bored roommates who went out on a late night drive hoping to do SOMETHING.

I really LOVE how the background noises adds rythm to the music, truly A Rythm Heaven.

This video is nuts, the characters feel like real people and the local is such a vibe. 10/10

A studio NEEDS to pick this up, this is beautiful. Genuinely beautiful.

Occasionally that Milky Highway jingle pops back into my head and i can't help but come come back to hear it again

Dude, I would totally watch a series of this. The world needs more animations like this.

This is probably the best 3D “anime” style animation **I’ve** ever seen. I really hope everyone involved in this gets a proper career in Japanese animation studios.

Your honor, my clients were simply vibing.

Radio Information 0:30 Drivers, this is MH, the Milky Highway Public Corporation. 0:38 We provide interplanetary traffic information at AM27:55. 0:48 At first the highway is closed to traffic at … 0:58 In The Northeast Expressway about 160 light year ahead… 1:00 …from ＊＊＊＊IC to ＊＊＊＊IC… 1:06 The highway is closed to traffic due to falling asteroids… 1:20 …down to two lanes at 51 kilo marker due to the construction 1:30 It reached the number one on the chart 3 weeks in a row. 1:33 This is the 2nd song released by Minase Minami at 18/21, Tokimeki Meteostrike!

Mannnn I live the character designs and their chemistry. You really got something here whit these two, hope you make it big after collage.

YES! Thank you so much for this, I watched the original upload 10+ times and now I can finally understand what they say :3

I love this because it’s like a genuine conversation between friends, talking over each other, fighting, showing interest in random things, I love it❤❤❤❤❤

I love how everything was in time with the music. Them hitting the barricades, the police bot's shots and siren. It's was all perfectly in time

the concept seems interesting,i hope we get more of this two.

Lol just found this English version after watching the Japanese. This story is actually much more fun when you know what's going on. The dialogue is so funny 😂

The animation is stunning, the characters are lovable goofs, the dialogue is engaging, the music is great too... and I love the idea of taking highways across the galaxy to travel between planets! Fantastic job!

1:40 we all know what for we are here

knowing that Makina really just wanted to stay home and play the Super NES is super neat! It makes me love her and the talking conversation even more!❤

Makina: Oh no, we're speeding *Proceeds to go faster*

This was so good! Funny, charming, SUPER detailed, and who doesn’t love the parts where the sound effects synced with the music?

-We're going too fast! (proceeds to go faster)

I love this type of character relationship. We're given an exposition of Makina's abundant ability, skill, and interests, while Chi's restlessness is her only surface-level merit. Their friendship is believable, and is somewhat implied to be founded on shared boredom (as many friendships are in lazy summer childhood). But since they couldn't have a "give-and-take" relationship, we're left wondering why and how such different characters bonded into adult life, through thick and thin.

You should also translate the names of the people involved in this production in the staff roll and let them know! I'll write it for you! スタッフロールの翻訳なかったから、代わりに載せとくね 名前の読みが間違ってたら教えてください！ The following is an English translation of the staff roll. Voice actors Makina: Kana Kobayashi Chiharu: Mizuki Fumizuki Singer Haruka Sasaki Opening chorus Ryo Satou Voice on the radio Misato Music & Sound Shunpei Ishiguro Kohei Doi Theme Song: "Tokimeki★Meteor Strike” Sing by Haruka Sasaki Composed by Shunpei Ishiguro Arranged by Kohei Doi Lyrics by Yohei Kameyama director/setting/script writer Yohei Kameyama storyboard/animation/character design/effects/3D modeling/compositing Yohei Kameyama

Easily one of the best animated shorts I've seen on youtube for a long time ! Such an orginal chara design for Makina. I absolutely love the idea of her face being a screen that keeps changing depending on the situation. It definitely is worthy of having its own series ! Great job to the student who made this little gem. I'm expecting great things to come from him !

If animation wasn’t so damn time consuming I’d ask for an entire series of this

2:17 this whole part feels like it could be in Rhythm Heaven

I can kinda guess what they were saying in the orignal, but knowing exactly what they're saying just makes me love them even more

2:39 they told him he sucks because he shoots on beats 1 and 3.

I love how SNES is still a favored pastime in this distant day and age.

I love how the artist kept the base of a Honda S800 and made it fit the “Space Highway” aesthetic, love all the little details of this

the amount of detail(not only the animation) in this is criminally underrated I'll genuinely strap people onto a chair jus to watch this for 5hrs 2:05 -speed meter sound matches with song as a seperate beat 2:28 -hitting the road blockers also matches as a beat 2:40 -the shooting jus fits in with the bpm

I find it strangely comforting to think that even in the distant space future with cyborgs and scarlet skinned post-humans, there are still people who enjoy playing the SNES.

and then they never went on another ride ever again (its been 2 years with nothing new)

I wonder how long they had to build those roads to connect different planets

This animation feels almost Pixar quality. Story, originality and length make it even more so in my opinion.

Absolute banger of an animation. Had my quick laugh about it and also was intrigued by the amazing animation quality of it. We need more of this guy!

"I feel like I've seen this somewhere"

I absolutely love this animation with its music! So detailed, from events connected in time to music to the animation details itself, like in the end Chi tilts her head and moves her eyes just like a real person would!!! Awesome!!!! Can’t get enough of it, every time I notice more details… I’ve watched the original like 20 times, and now we finally have the translation! Thank you!

2:01 I just realized that their colors are perfectly fits in synthwave color

This entire short film is straight-up Disney quality. The animation is insanely good, and the setting it takes place in is beautifully designed. I love the interactions between these two characters, too!

5 hours? For an interplanetary drive? That's a fast car.

this is incredibly made and what i absolutely love about it is the character interaction and how the conversation is filled with so much depth. the characters have so much character to them but the way they interact is amazing to me, they interrupt each other, they talk over each other, they disagree, makina thinks for a few seconds before refusing to let chiharu play music and chiharu ignores them immediately and play it anyway. they way chiharu gets makina in a good mood by teasing them, them dueting together, their reactions to them being pursued by the police, makina's hesitation before performing wtv action they're going to so as to show the pressure of the high stakes situation, IT'S SO FUCKING COOL OKAY!! -~- (i also like how makina's name is pronounced máquina which is just machine in spanish >:3)

This is really great. The character interactions are adorable and it looks fantastic. Hope to see more from you soon.

You know it's a great animation when you get emotionally attached to two characters in the span of only 3 minutes.

i have no idea why, but thats really cool

This animation is amazing! The character designs are so cool and everyone is so expressive! ❤ Can't wait to see what you create in the future :)

This is so random yet entertaining!! Wish more of these girls adventure!!

I can't explain how much I love this, I would totally watch a tv or movie series with them!🧡

I don't really see that much anime in Japan about driving on the expressway, so this was so much fun to watch! I myself enjoy a 4 hour drive from Hiroshima to Osaka and vise versa. I wish that there could somehow be another episode exploring a Station Area, because there are some really good fun ones and I'd love to see your take on a space-themed version!

To do this as an graduation project is truly incredible, just the attention to detail and quality in every single frame, I hope we get to see more of your work in the future! 亀山先生 ! お疲れ様です。

1:41~1:44 I love this part

girlfriends.

This is dangerously impressive I would love to see more of this

The animation is really detailed! I love how when the cyborg shoots her arm cannon, the light caused the red girl's pupils to shrink in response

This is so good. Looking for work?

Can’t stop the A-Train

I would pay to see a 12 episode series of this

thank you so much for english subtitles! 💖 adorable animation too!!

This should be used in lessons about fictional world building. Sometimes all you need is to put your whole imagination, heart, and soul into creating one scene.

Why wasnt this recommended to me sooner? The 3D animation on this 3, almost 4 minute short was absolutely supurb and outta this world (pun intended).

we need more of this animation....WE NEED MORE

Thank you very much for the english subtitles! It is much appreciated! This is a wonderful animation and the song is cute too!

I loved the animation! And the friendship between the two is cute

2:58 dont u just hate it when that happens

I saw this months ago, and lost the video. I’ve spent months trying to find it, I searched every combination of words I could think of and nothing. Just when I gave up hope yesterday, boom KZfaq recommends me the video again.

I’m so glad I stumbled upon the original version of this a moment ago and then found the sub version immediately after. This was really really great to say the least, and I really do hope to see more from you soon.

I actually like this. I like how the dialogue feels very casual and they talk over each other like what often happens in real conversation. Would definitely like to see more casual dialogue like this in anime.

"We were too fast" **speeds up**

I really love this animation I would love to see more stories with these girls! 💖

'we were goign to fast' proceeds to go EVEN FASTER. love these two XD

damn, I want to hear this song sung by them. (1:53)

hecking god damn that was a literal wild ride. thank you for the subs version, i loved every moment now i understood what they're saying

I love when the music and the sound effect are in sync

Ah yes this moment 1:01 is so relatable when talking to someone

No idea why this showed up on my feed but ut looks pretty cool. The character animations is sick. Also great voice acting lol

It's been a year since I last saw this and it's still flawless

Thank you for the translation! Really well done animation

That was absolutely phenomenal! Everyone who worked on this project did a great job

I love the various points where sound-effects and animation synched to the music's rhythm. Very very good.

gamer move makina 2:46

I love the character animation, their expressions look so good! Also the timing of the animations to the rhythm was great.

Finally when Milk Town mayor decided to develop their roads to highway: Milky☆Highway

"¡Can't stop the A-Train, baby!" -🚅🚄🏃🏿‍♂️

i love how even the chase scene was on beat to the song! so cool!

Id totally watch this galactic road trip as a series.

Sooo goooooood! ❤😍🫠

I need more of it

I've recently been blessed by YT recommendations for finding this epic video. Watching this at least once a day for the past week. I think everyone would love it if you'd, PLEASE MAKE MORE

Just find your channel and WOW...this is super impressive, superb animation, character design, and in less than 4 minutes, you managed to created 2 likeable characters with rich chemistry, better than most 2-3 hours hollywood movies or 1 season of modern animes.

Hey I have seen that red girl before…

"But officer, Free Bird was on!"

I can’t stop watching this 💀

This was awesome dude! I really loved this short and watched the original like 10 times, now I finally can understand the pointless chat haha, I love your work, I hope we can see more about these two in the future!

i love how realistic their friendship is!!! very entertaining

Yep. came back for another watch.

this is an awesome graduation project

まじで映画化してくれ
