Apart from the art style, Anderson added some yellow subtitles to his work, making it look like a screenshot from an actual animation clip.
Anderson got the next best thing when netizen Kev Chelios took notice of his work. After adding some simple animations on Anderson’s art piece, Chelios also included some Japanese voice over which he did himself. The end result looks like a preview for a yet-to-be released anime trailer.
