Now this is what I call an animation. From the Japanese school of anime comes this little beauty, Nasu: Summer in Andalusia (茄子 アンダルシアの夏). It was released in 2003 and a sequel was made in 2007. The attention to detail is incredible, the people involved must of spent hours researching and riding racing bikes to get it to look like this. Want to see more cycling anime now.
