You know that great ending for Eden of the East, the one with the crazy stop-motion paper animation? Well, Japanator reader and guest blogger AceOfClub5 decided that this was something he could pull off using his mad photo ninjutsu. This is the first time he had ever done something like this, and had took him six hours to shoot and edit (and something like $500 of rainbow money.)
This isn’t a complete shot by shot representation of the original ending, but does its own thing. I can’t truly begin to understand the meaning of this story. My interpretation is that it’s something about a man who picks up a flower and becomes the Rail Tracer, killing people for money until he is happy; or something along those lines. Good Job AceOfClub5, you win the internet for today. Take a look at the original closing animation after the jump.

@Red Z. Baylon: I know who Ace is, I took a class together with him back when we were both in high school. I just didn't know if the face on the 100 changed and that was a really old version or something... today's been hectic so I was too lazy to look it up.
Thanks everyone! Glad you like it.
The original is beyond cool, so I had to give it a try.
Just wish i was better at drawing/sculpting so that there could have been more detail.
live comments!
This is like the coolest thing I've ever, ever seen.
