An over-eager user of NicoNico Douga has stunned Toradora fans (let us not say in what way) with a rendition of the Toradora OP made using only the spreadsheet functionality of Microsoft Excel.
Player 1
Nico.
It looks as if the method used was to reconstruct each frame of animation as a separate page, and then have them rapidly scrolled, animating the scene. A program was used to assign the appropriate RGB values to each table cell, performing an analysis of the original video to generate these.
The wisely sceptical amongst you will likely have your doubts assuaged when you hear that the author apparently distributed the cvs files in question earlier, which weighed in at nearly 50mb.
Certainly one of the more invooled Toradora fan releases. However, the OP may be good, but is it that good?

it's mind boggling on how the user recreated it frame by frame
I thought one worksheet can only handle 65000+ rows? Amazing...
OMG this guy has one powerful comp there . . .
i prefer
# mplayer -vo caca ToradoraOP.mkv
it looks better, is way faster and doesn't require a spreadsheet application. plus, you don't have to sync the sound afterwards. :)
omg. even my super computer(Xp pro 64bit sp3 intel xeon 64Gb ram) would hand if I tried that.
*hang
that wassss sooooooooooo coool
With that much free time I'd rather watch some anime... ^_^
Sauce, Please?
I can't find the cvs or whatever anywhere.
*Insert inevitable Excel Saga joke here*
Hardcore....
...Close to overkill.
Lol. Kinda meaningless but well done. Had no other way to show his fandom? ^^
I was intrigued by the Palm Top Taiga figure at first, but the series turned out rather disappointing. The OP is fitting in that regard.
Really? I've found the series surprisingly enjoyable. Not all the characters, but the leads at least have a little bit of depth. And it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
One must wonder how long the user has worked on this for i don't see myself bringing up the patience to do this
He probably used a script. There's another video where the code was actually shown. Watch that one here:

But how he times the frames to the sound boggles me.
Propably haven't matched until some respeeding in video-editing program.
Or maybe matched, with scripted autoscrolling by time.
that guy really have all the time in the world...
that was exactly what i was thinking
I call hax.
If he took the cell colour by ripping it from the video with a program then he can't have made it creditless, and editing the credits out would take forever... I think? maybe i'm wrong lol.
I saw the same thing done for Higurashi Kai before, which seemed better done. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1642964 <--
That person could have removed the credits of the video editing the cells...much fun to see a creditless opening
Once he had a script to convert the frames to cells, it was probably easy to write a macro to scroll at the proper speed. It probably didn't take as long as people are assuming.
i think my program will hang if i do that
