Mistigram: After working its way out of the soundtrack to 1998's NEC PC-9800 bullet hell video game Lotus Land Story by Team Shanghai Alice (aka Jun'ya "ZUN" Ōta), the #BadApple!! song was covered by Alstroemeria Records, yielding a recording that was eventually celebrated with a shadow-puppetry style music video. Due to the way that the monochrome palette of that video easily translates to the displays of underpowered and unlikely vintage technology and computing platforms, adapting it to different formats has become a fashionable pastime among certain circles. Here, for possibly the first time in this particular niche, Andy "NDH" Herbert, creator of the Moebius ANSI art editor, has converted the Bad Apple!! music video to #ANSImation (or #ANSIart animation.) Though it isn't entirely synchronized to the on-screen action (as ANSImation pacing isn't an exact science), we have piped in the celebrated Bad Apple!! music so you have something to groove to while you watch the block characters do their thing on your screen.
