I think it was an extended AMV that they forgot to add music to.

[AnimationFan14]

Whatever it was I at least know who sponcered it

 

[Mohri]

Hahahaha. I guess I am lucky that I never watched any of it.

[StarPanda]

It definitely is weird.

 

It seemed like an example of "we have some money to throw around. let's give it to this producer we admire who clearly won't have his heart into it."

I want what Oshii was smoking.

I wouldn't go that far.  I think it was just terrible. 

[Blatch]

Same. I hated how repetitive it was. You could probably edit it into a supercut that's less than ten minutes long. And what content wasn't repeated simply wasn't good.

[Daos]

You don't really expect much from 5 minute shorts.....but yeah there's no reason that should have existed.

 

I think it was going for random/ zany humor but it just didn't work.

I was as disappointed by this as most people were by Dimension W, especially considering I didn't find the latter disappointing at all.
