You're watching a music video that moves like something possessed. The animation doesn't wait for the song to finish a thought, it's already three frames ahead, bending itself into impossible shapes that only make sense at that exact moment in the tempo. Midnight Grand Orchestra built something that feels less like a showcase and more like a seizure of pure momentum. This is what happens when a director decides the visuals don't serve the music, they are the music. Five minutes. No plot. Just relentless. By the end you'll rewind it immediately, because you missed half of it the first time.
Midnight Mission is a single-episode supernatural music video made for the song of the same name by Midnight Grand Orchestra. Riri Yamashita directed it. Fans of the group and viewers who collect anime music videos will want to seek it out as a short companion piece to the track.
