Just discovered bout it, each Season consist 5 different series spaning 1 minutes

Beginning May 7, the Japanese public broadcasting network NHK will launch a special collection of one-minute anime shorts by 15 of Japan's biggest anime directors and creators. The title of the collection, Ani-Kuri 15, is abbreviated from the words "anime" and "creators."

The one-minute shorts will be broadcast in three "seasons," with each group of five animated shorts scheduled to run between regular programming on NHK at three periods in the coming months. Due to the nature of the broadcasts, the one-minute shorts will not be listed in TV programming guides. However, NHK has mentioned that the shorts will run primarily on NHK's "General" channel rather than the NHK "Educational" channel. In addition, the shorts will appear on the official Ani-kuri 15 website in the near future.

Looks very experimental. Definately up stormy's alley.

You got it right.

This is cool stuff.

wonder if this suit u http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=527407&hl
i find it liking those type of animation, sadly no one really into those under-rated animation.

The names involved is like cream of the cream of Japanese animators. This is what I liked about anime as medium, you can create anything from zero and not limited by real world logistics.

here's something i created long time ago. its old, but still havent been deleted.

there are some experimental animation title, i think u can search em n watch them in Youtube.

http://www2.odn.ne.jp/~ccs50140/works/NHK_anicri/index.html
its in 3rd season which schedule to be aired in 10th December.
apart it consist Makoto Shinkai's shorts is titled Neko no Shuukai which literally means Cats' Gathering.
no other detail though.

Creative art....

ok, tat was fast, saw Neko no Shuukai (by Makoto Shinkai) sub is out.
though wat happen to da rest
neway, i will watched the raw for the rest then :|

ok, Neko no Shuukai fansub is pretty stupid a bit with can i have mai cheezeburger stuff, imma chargin mai lazer, though the rest does suit accordingly (i think), but neway, it really funny, too funny to be Makoto Shinkai, i thought was making something like She and Her Cat (Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko). overall its hillarious

n got the RAW in HD (1st n 2nd season, with 2 eps from 3rd season) n its really cool

update with Makoto Shinkai's Ani Kuri, Neko no Shuukai (unsubbed, but there is jokingly subbed ver. around, n dun ask where izzit)
