This is a still from the Togainu no Chi anime. At first glance, it doesn’t appear odd. But look closer. For some, it’s hard to explain what’s going on.
The image itself dates from years back, but recently, Twitter user Chronos_sdvx tweeted out some explanations, which also date from a while back. That tweet has racked up over 28,000 retweets. You also might have seen this on English language sites.
Maybe he’s kneeling?
Or has short legs?
Or is the car hovering?
There could be a ditch.
Big tires would explain everything.
Makes sense.
Even better.
The easiest — and most logical — explanation is probably that this is a somewhat awkwardly framed perspective. But I like this one better.
Or this.

The internet is weird.
This has been a public service announcement.
This made me chuckle.
First of all, how the hell is this news? Secondly, the car’s a truck with an elevated cab, like an SUV or a pickup truck. Case closed.
Did you not look at the pictures that extrapolated the size of the wheel?
It’s not news but gave me a good chuckle. For that I’m happy it’s here. Also, weird shit is posted here all the time. Move along.
Hilarious, yes, but hell these images are a good 5 years old!
There are plenty of images like this. Like the image of the anime that has the really steep hill.
I swear I saw this exact story on Kotaku a couple of years back.
Poor quality art, amateur mistake. Like drawing hands with the thumbs on the wrong sides. Not very complicated. To be fair, I didn’t notice this particular error at first glance until it was explained so I guess I’m artistically illiterate as well.
people.
it’s clearly a ford f-series pickup. they are enormous.
this one is lifted, but its lift isn’t even that high:
