Anyone remember an older YT animation? (lemmy.world)

Back around 2007 or 2008 I think, I watched a very cool animation on Youtube. I cannot for the life of me remember the name, and i doubt it's still up since it used a well-known song as the audio track.

It was a pretty standard (for the time) anime-style fight video, set to The Prodigy's "Smack my Bitch Up". It's cel-shaded CGI/3D, and starred a yellow-and-black Sentai-style character. I think he was like a robot superhero? The whole animation was basically a demoreel/pilot for an animator who wanted to launch a show based on the characters.

If anyone remembers this or can find a link, I'd be very grateful! It was a cool fight scene (for the time), and it always bothers me when I vaguely remember a neat thing and can find no trace of it.

I remember when it was more than advertisements…

Do you remember when internet ads were just banners, and they didn't track you?

I remember many of these. Are you referring to the one where the stick figure kind of "breaks out" of the animation and starts to fight the animators tools? Like he attacks the pointer, the crop tool, etc

If this is the one, I very much remember it and I could probably dig it up.

Nah, stickman fights are a different genre of video, but i did enjoy those back then too! The one I'm remembering was CGI/3D, kind of anime style.

Was it a flash animation with stick men?
