The Changing Mirror

There's a series of Japanese roleplaying games called "Far East of Eden" in the west or "Tengai Makyou" in Japan. In the game "Tengai Makyou: Daishi no Mokushiroku - The Apocalypse IV" there's an extremely well done weight gain sequence that I think is now more popular in the West compared to the game itself. (Especially since the game was never localized).

Unfortunately this is the looped version so the full context for the TF isn't available. But it's a really great sequence and one I really love.

I recall seeing that clip, or stills from it, several times over the years, but I never knew its origins. Thanks for the enlightenment!
