Here's another set of four 90-second anime from Japanese TV. Titled Science Saru x MBS Original Short Anime Daisakusen - the title takes longer to read than the episodes take to watch - these shorts feature four different directors.
- Okuninushi and Sukunabikona - The titular characters compete to see who can hold it the longest.
- Moon (part 1) - A Moon creature's picnic is interrupted by a friendly dog (?) in a space suit.
- Moon (part 2) - The dog returns to interrupt the Moon creature's camping trip.
- The Bird in the Pantheon - A mood piece about a woman, a painting, and a bird.
Only the first has any dialog, and the seiyuu are quite well known for such small roles:
- Kobayashi Chiaki (Okuninushi) starred as Asakase in Sonny Boy, Yuiichi in Tomodachi Game, the title roles in Moriarty the Patriot and Ragna Crimson, Hayate in Cool Doji Danshi, Gabimaru in Jigokuraku, Stark in Sousou no Frieren, and many other roles.
- Izawa Shiori (Sukunabikon) played Piyo-chan in Dragon Goes House Hunting, Nanachi in the Made in Abyss franchise, Noriko in Kuzu no Honkai, and numerous other roles.
- Satou Rina (narrator) starred as Negi in the Negima franchise. She played Rina in the Natsume Yuujinchou franchise, Misaka Mikoto in the Toaru Railgun/Index franchise, Nagi in Eve no Jikan, Rinko in the Yondemsasu-yo, Azazel-san franchise (a favorite), and Saki in Genshiken Nidaime. She appeared in Shirokuma Cafe, an Orphan release.
The directors have worked on several recent series.
- Yokoyama Akitoshi also directed Cutie Honey Universe, Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu, and Photokano.
- Kinoshita Eri was the animation director for Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
- Choi Eun-Yeong directed the "Akakiri" segment of Star Wars: Visions and produced Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
