Giant Robo: Prologue-hen
The pilot for GR: Giant Robo. However, there were significant changes between the pilot and the actual show, including a different writer and a different director. Thus, the special is less a promo for the series than an alternate version of how the series might have looked.
Included in the GR: Giant Robo Millennium Box DVD Set.
Little Nemo Pilot (1987)
Mugen Senshi Valis
On or around the release of the first game in the series on the Famicom, a 3-minute promotional anime was created to advertise the game. More than a commercial, less than a special, the piece tells a highly abbreviated version of the game's story (spoiling its biggest twist!).

Hustle!! Tokitama-kun
Director's description: "I want to show you a world that you have never seen." I think this is something that all computer graphics producers strive for. What to create?! How do you create it with computer graphics? The skill of drawing does not change that much when performed on a computer instead of paper. This work is a mixture of traditional cel-based animation, 3-D animation and 2-D computer graphics techniques, each with it's own history and production standards. My theme for this production was "The Transformation of Time and Space". I used ToonShader and hand drawn animation to achieve the desired effect. I think that I have succeeded in creating a world that you have never seen.
