One animator. Five minutes. A love letter to sentai that moves like it was drawn by someone who actually understands why transformation sequences matter. Sakamoto Shouta didn't just animate this, he built the entire world around the music, frame by frame, alone. The result is what happens when someone who grew up screaming at their TV finally gets to make the show that broke them.

Five young people transform into a costumed superhero team in this animated music short, which mimics the popular sentai genre. Animator Shouta Sakamoto came up with the idea, designed and animated it, and also wrote its music. Gainax began showing the video on its official website, and it is the first entry in a planned series called MUSIC is SF.
