Thank you for making a truly great piece of art!

This is timeless. I loved it then and I love it now.

Pleasure, you made something great

I discovered this 10 years ago, but i still come sometimes because this clip is so awesome he deserve it (sorry for my english, i'm french)

I still watch this regularly! Amazing work.

Great memories of this video! Also love your animations! I know this comment is 9 years old.

Have any more recommendations?

Still?

When you got the moves, you just gotta show them off! He's so good the dancing is contagious!

Whenever he shows up, everybody stops what they're doing to dance with him with perfect choreography.

was just thinking this :D

You mean the guy falling asleep at the mixing board.

No, he means the robber. The thing at the beginning with the cops chasing the robber is meant to show you how all the areas aren't separate places, which then gives way to the huge chain reaction that eventually leads to all of the realities getting destroyed, and then all the characters lining up just right on the screen to create the "please wait" bars. It's all so brilliant. Especially the ways they chose to line up the realities to make things happen. For crying out loud the dark blue dancer is used to transport a bullet, then a bowl of spaghetti to the proper scenes! And the stage thing allows one totally unrelated scene to link up to it, since, after all, they're filming the scene. With actors. In a set.

​@@edwardzweyer9669 guy falling on the board is what allowed robber to escape his reality in the first place, before that robber was frozen in a loop like every other reality. So he escaped, but other realities weren't really interacting with him yet. Then he gets into control room and pushes control guy just as control room world is switched out, freezing it and so freezing switching mechanism itself. Noodle vendor notices something's weird and tries to fix it by hitting TV, but that erases any borders between realities at all, and that leads to mayhem.

inception

Persona 4 concept art

I have been enlightened.

Hey, it's not sad if you finally realized it! It would have been sad to never realize it.

you are right

When it happens that part that weird me out the most is when everyone randomly step perfect synchronization to the beat every 10 seconds or so.

Same :)

I guess now that makes three!

And here we are, two years since six years ago.

This is a very under-rated masterpiece.

Still the best video on KZfaq.

Lol me too XD

Yep, Break Dancing Old People is ALWAYS the best part of this video, no matter how many times I watch it, no matter how many years between views. XD

The shot schoolgirls are dancing too Amazing

@@naeemt-pearson4140 WTF, I've been coming back to this over a decade now and I've genuinely never noticed them before

_criminally_ heh

American Cynic Yes.Yes it is!! :D

それな！！！！！

+LeafyGreens7 Write an epic poem

I was just thinking about doing the same thing. Like, what does it benefit? But I want to, just to appreciate every bit of it.

Then, just before dying, there is this shout: "CUT!"

next shot is a pullback to it being a set, and the actress on the phone getting surprised by superhero, criminal, and cops steamrolling the director

@@LazyDogJumper at least one of those actresses dont seem to be moving..

if lupin said 'fuck it' and turned to a life of petty crime

And from the direction the robber comes from in the sushi bar scene, you can tell he robbed a store just down the hallway from the sushi bar, but the owner didn't care because business was low.

It seems to have partly been necessity, so the whole video didn't devolve to complete and unwatchable chaos. By giving each show's elements not just a different art style but another color, they did something better, with a particularly interesting aesthetic effect, as well as giving the viewers an almost perfect understanding as to what was happening. Everything transpires so quickly that the colors are just plain needed to keep track of the events in the video, but the palettes and execution give it a bit of added charm. The music is great, too, and they even managed to fuse that to the video, in seemingly minor, but still important ways, like the 'cough' in news19's second run, and when the guy at the food stand smacks his malfunctioning TV into all of 'reality' going even more nuts. Those are just a few of the many examples, of course. This person's a friggin' genius.

Nope Notusingrealname Agreed.

Nope Notusingrealname Very good review, you really explained your thoughts on this fantastic piece of video art, thanks

Philip Ennis reviewing my own initial review ......now it.s 3 months later . Have watched this video so many times , I disagree with the idea that "the music fused with the video", the music existed before the video (so I believe ) ergo the animator choreographed the animation to complement the track

+DollFishu TBH I thought it was Sanic speed

DollFishu You obviously have never watched Sharknado 1, 2, 3, 4, and read the synopsis for the Sharknado 5 being released this Summer. Or watched the Mechashark SyFy original series of movies. lol

Nah, I've seen them all. Not impressed.

DollFishu Lol, crazy stuff. XD

+radwoof Same here. I originally posted this on my fb wall in December of 2009. I still come back occasionally to watch it. There's always something new to find, like the artist getting hit and his hand moving the pencil across the page that creates the jump that the motorcycles go off.

who?

I know. Who is he?

Nicholas B vash the stampede.

@@itsmeqwe1 Goutou

And now things start falling apart. LAP 2 Ramen Shop 2: Goutou speeds past the shop, making his getaway, and losing money everywhere Police Station 2: the police see this, and give chase. I think this is the last time we see the station itself? Train Ride 2: The police run across the station the train's pulling into, while goutou tries to blend in to the crowd. he's quickly spotted, and chased away. You can see another ad for Strike Beer in the background, and Goutou already has a wanted poster. Kaiju attack 2: Whether the kaiju is treated as "kaiju-sized" or "human-sized" will vary a lot, probably because of the sets. Here, he's human sized, as goutou looney-tunes himself into the wall and breaks the illusion Studio Set 2: Goutou knocked down the background, and now runs through the studio, knocking everything over. News19 2: You see the guy here trying to either joke with or flirt with the girl. She's not interested, possibly for reasons we'll see later, but when theyre caught on camera, he snaps back into position. War Zone 2: Gotou and the police cut through here, much to the reporter's shock. Motorbike race 2: Both gotou and the police seem to have taken some of the bikes for their own chase. Baseball 2: toyama strikes a home run, while the chase continues through the bleachers Rave 2: Goutou and the police chief join the dance for one pose. Interestingly, this transition seemingly breaks the golden rule of the mv - it shows the NEXT scene, instead of the previous baseball scene, while also showing the motorbike race 2 screens back again. This error also comes with it's own 2 screens deep moment, meaning that for a few frames as goutou enters, you can actually see a recursion of this moment in the tv of the next screen Victory-Man 2: goutou gets cut off and has to double back - meanwhile, the beam attack is still ongoing. Strike Beer 2: goutou steals the girl's beer when he gets the chance Old Folk's kotatsu 2: Goutou somehow got under the kotatsu. He leaves the pink can here, meaning this is the first time four colours are in one scene not including the display. that won't last. Broadcaster's room 3: They're trying to fix things, but when goutou knocks the microsleeper into the dashboard, all hell starts to break loose.

LAP 3 Ramen Shop 3: While Goutou and the police chase continues in the background, the tv at the ramen shop starts glitching, and the chef tries percussive maintenance. when the first few hits don't work, he hits it harder, which causes the whole world to glitch out and the background to shift several times to other scenes. Goutou jumps across the countertop. 3D Fighter 2: When he stops here, Goutou gets introduced as a new Challenger, with his own named health-bar in the bottom right. This is where we get his name from. He runs away again, and Kenji and Lee give chase. Kaiju 3 and Anime Studio 2: goutou and the 3d fighters dash through these places quickly, with nothing much to say, though Kenji chasing him consistently through the air with that spinning kick is pretty hilarious... Airport Romance 2: the spinning kick ends up knocking off the guy's toupee, revealing he's actually balding, much to the shock of his beloved, who he did manage to kiss. The hair lands on lee's bald head, and he loves it and decides to run off with it, forcing the toupee guy to give chase. Rave 3: Lee just skips through the rave, hilariously. for some reason, the second screen is the motorcycle race. Checkout robbery 2: Lee jumps on the counter, while toupee guy runs into it. This is the last time we see the checkout robbery scene. War zone 3: Lee's skipping again, but a missile lands right near him and toupee guy, sending them flying two ways, and the toupee a third direction. News19 3 and Alien Observers 2: The news guy is trying to flirt again, and she's still not interested. The toupee bounces off his head, reaching high up enough to nearly reach the aliens. Baseball 3: the nirin pitcher is confused and thinks the toupee is a ball. he throws it to first base, preventing the toupee guy from reclaiming it. Kaiju 4: The Wig lands on the Kaiju's face, blinding him and sending him hopping back. This is the first time the same scene is visited in one lap. Airport romance 3: there's a tense stalemate, as goutou has taken the airport romance girl hostage, and is surrounded by police - she is having a TERRIBLE day. However, an incoming blinded kaiju's foot sends the hostage and goutou flying. Train ride 3: the train passengers briefly spot the hostage and goutou flying... Anime Studio 3: before they land next to the sketching hand. the hand swipes away... Motorbike race 3: The hand's swipe creates a line that acts as a ramp, sending the motorbikers flying. War zone 4: The bikes get lodged under a tank, which fires a hectic shot past the reporter. said reporter is pretty much in the fetal position by this point. Baseball 4: The batter manages to strike the missile into the distance, with another home run. Rave 4: The raver's moves direct the missile to the right, while for the first time, all the screens at the top show the same thing at the same time. Ramen Shop 4: Kenji has taken a break to eat. The missile causes him to send the ramen flying behind him... the same direction the missile came from... Rave 5: I swear this scene hits some kinda milestone every time we come back, this time "shortest return time". He lets the ramen fly across his shoulders. Motorcycle Race 4: The Kaiju rampage is briefly paused by lee and toupee guy rushing along and lee recovering said toupee, but the ramen lands on it's face, causing it to freak out and breathe fire everywhere. Now other people are appearing kaiju-sized, meaning at this point reality is probably beyond saving. Anime Studio 4: The hand that's been in focus is still missing, which is probably a good thing, as the flame sets his area ablaze, including the victory-man panel he was drawing... Victory-man 3: Causing victory-man's reality to start burning away, forcing him to flee. Old Folk's kotatsu 3: They're again in a standoff, and now goutou has the old folks as hostages too. Victory-man bursts into the scene from behind Goutou, causing him and the police to freak out and shoot wildly at him. they miss him... Train Ride 4: But not the train riders, who somehow get peppered with the bullets. However, the studio calling cut seems to save them. Studio Set 3: The train riders are fine, thanks to the timely intervention. The director, however, was badly injured the last time goutou and the cops tore through here, and now victory-man leads them all through again, probably further injuring him. 3D Fighter 3: Maybe because they're in a fighting game, Victory-man makes his stand, firing his big laser which goutou barely dodges. At this point, we're getting scenes without ANY of the characters that are supposed to be there. Kaiju battle 5: now completely sans kaiju, Lee and toupee guy get caught tug-of-warring the toupee, with the laser firing right at them. Fortunately, their chrome domes reflect the laser, keeping them safe from the laser... Alien Observers 3: ...but the laser hits an alien ship, pissing them off and causing them to invade. Strike Beer 3: The drinkers now have slightly swollen bellies, either putting the lie in that Strike beer is 0kCal or saying they're being made to drinks tonnes of it to prove it. They're starting to look ill, as a fleet of ufos descend from the sky. News19 4: The female presenter reveals herself to be an alien in disguise, and she disintegrates the guy's face from how annoying he was being. He doesn't get a scene cut to save him. Kaiju 6: Now the aliens have replaced the kaiju here, chasing away the remaining civilians. The pilot hero finally reappears, calling his ship in... Airport romance 3: But as it flies in, it knocks a passenger plane out of balance, sending it spinning away. Motorbike Race 4: It hits the kaiju, sending him stumbling again. War Zone 5: The army and the alien invaders begin fighting, as the kaiju's foot sends more things flying. Rave 6: The Kaiju's still-ramened face smashes into the rave floor, sending the breakdancer flying. Once again the rave is involved in something really interesting... 3d Fighter 4: because the kaiju's face appearing in the rave happened when the kaiju smashed into the building the rave is being displayed on in the next scene outwards. We see now the army, the pilot hero, and the aliens all fighting. The war zone's reporter is reporting on the incredible scene, as goutou and the police run to the camera again. Broadcaster's room 4: Everything's broken here. The screens are all smashed and inoperable, and the microsleep guy who started this whole mess seems to be buried under the rubble.

FINAL LAP Motorcycle Race 5: Goutou nearly runs into traffic as the war continues on in the skies. he turns around and runs, seemingly bringing the motorbikes with him. News19 5: We pass the News19 guy's half-melted corpse, with goutou leaping onto the desk to dodge the motorbikes then doing a handstand to dodge some passing missiles. The woman-turned-alien is long gone. Strike Beer 4: The police manage to catch up to and cut off goutou again. Now with hugely swollen bellies, the drinkers are now clearly in pain, until the three way war results in some missiles landing in the ocean and causing a massive tsunami they barely can react to. Old folks Kotatsu 4: The pilot hero chases a ufo in the background, and goutou and the police run right past a dance number, with the train riders as backup dances, the raver as the star, and the old folks matching him move-for-move. At least until the tsunami washes everything away. Kaiju 7: When the wig lands on goutou's head, he's caught between two equally fierce wars - the soldiers of earth fighting the aliens to defend the entire planet, and lee and the toupee guy fighting to hide their bald patches. The latter is now in full "completely airborne combo showdown" mode. Kaiju City is the most-visited scene in the entire set. Ramen Shop 5: For the second time, the wrong video plays on screen - this time it's Old Folks Kotatsu 4 instead of Kaiju 7. The ramen shop owner is working hard to feed his customers - a kaiju city civillian, the airport romance turned hostage girl, and Victory man, who is very conspicuously Not Helping. Goutou's escape makes him jump through the food stand's open space, smashing the kaiju civillian's head through the countertop. 3D Fighter 5: Goutou lands on the ground and starts running towards the screen, as the aliens and soldiers fight in the background. He jumps over a line of motorcyclists, leans back to dodge some missiles as pilot hero swoops overhead, Straight up aquatically dives through an incoming strike beer tsunami as the hand, still sketching, comes up on the screen, Is sent flying by a crashed ufo as Lee and Toupee guy come fighting in from the left and the raver and old folks dance in from the right, Narrowly dodges the kaiju's incoming foot... just as the missiles he dodged cause a massive explosion in the background, causing the crashed ufo, lee and toupee guy, the pencil from the sketcher's hand, goutou, and the kaijus foot to all fly to the camera... Aftermath: where their bright colours turn into the colour test seen at the start, and the screen zoomes out on a seemingly new scene, with everything fully coloured. Rubble from all of the different shows is here... zooming out even further to reveal it's another set with two cameras. Broadcast room 5: and we zoom out one last time to a fully-intact, but empty, broadcaster's room. all the screens finally switch off.

@@Leafsw0rd Thanks for doing this. I'm betting it'll make some poor text-to-speech user's day. :)

What are you talking about, I totally want that to happen. Best apocalypse EVER. XD

東京MXでやってたんか！ それ気になる

Add it to your favorites. It's hell easy to find it again, and youtube hasn't done anything to fuck it up either!! SHIT I JINXED IT.

I found this again only from my years old video list. :D Luckily I still had that list.

I found it again because I apparently had downloaded it as an mp3 8 years ago and came across it just now while going through my files.

Whatsamagiga It can be seen as a statement on how our world is getting more and more 'televised' and how the difference between what's real and what's TV is blurring (with things like constant new channels, reality shows, etc.).

+Amit Haramaty Or its just an awesome music video with way to much going on to comprehend the first five times watching.

I wear wigs (medical reasons) and honestly, that part delighted me the most XD Also when the wig keeps rebounding off of everything? Priceless.

Same here. If you do find something, let me know.

That grandma got some mad moves!

tv era is dead now RIP

TARS not really

Archarin Jesus christ thank you

I'm thanking you, five years later. I really liked how it made the yellow undead dancers from the public transit's dance at the old people's house stand out.
