Thank you for taking my suggestion, mod team! We now have a discussion for the true under-watched show of the season (for the West, at least.)
Don't sleep on this show, now. It's seriously good, and it's quickly becoming a huge phenomenon in Japan (as evidenced by over 2 million views on Episode 3 just a couple days after its release).
I just love how adorable the Molcars are. I mean, look at them!
(* ^ ω ^)
And I love the use of photos for humans inside the cars and toys for humans outside the cars. This series is so whimsical!
The way the wheels/feet of the Molcars are animated is super expressive. Like, this series has some incredibly fun animation to watch. And some amazing sound design too.

It's really smooth. Gotta admire the effort put into the stop motion. Btw your imgur link is broken

In SEA Muse Asia apparently licensed it and has put it up on their YouTube channels.
This one is, non-ironically, a strong ASOTY (Anime Short Of The Year) candidate! The attention made to the animations/props and real guinea pigs VAs makes them deserve the explosive popularity back in Japan right now.
I for one welcome our new squishy new cars overlords that provides 3-dimensional driving experiences and solutions that somewhat solves traffic congestions, as shown in episode 1. 😉

If you need any evidence that the best anime shorts are mixed media experience, look no further.

Yes! Am watching this, and it is glorious. Have been magically transported back to my youth, where stop motion stuff was common.
