Big cities can feel lonely. The likes of Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya are no exception. Pixel artist Motocross-Saito captures that loneliness in retro-style GIFs.
Motocross-Saito’s work is somewhat reminiscent of these retro-style GIFs Kotaku previously posted, but there’s something more isolating and alienated about them.
The following GIFs are from Motocross-Saito’s Tumblr.

Awesome. I’m very impressed!
Would love to see an oldschool Lucas Arts Point and Click game set in Tokyo
This is not “retro”! This is a completely modern treatment of pixel art! Pixel art is not automatically “retro”!! AAAaaaAaaarghhhh *hulks out*
