You're watching the moment a 20-year-old kid figured out how to break physics on a budget, before he became the guy who broke anime. The car doesn't just move across the screen; it defies every rule of weight and momentum because Anno decided the rules were boring. Ten minutes of pure, unfiltered "what if we just made it do that" energy, the kind of creative recklessness that disappears the moment someone hands you a real budget.
A speeding car races ahead on tires that defy the laws of physics. The one-episode special is an amateur piece of animation that Hideaki Anno made at the age of 20, while he was a student at Osaka University of Arts. It is worth a look for anyone curious about the early student work of a well-known animator.
