Clay (technically gypsum) animation set to a beat with robots, scifi motif, and alligators with human arms. It was broadcasted a year later (1991) by the Japanese TV program Miyake Yuuji no Ebizori Kyoshou Tengoku, "Ebiten" for short, which showed works of independent film makers.
This has the prototype character, Pulta, which was used for Bowda Katsuhi's Robot Pulta anime when he was hired by the NHK.

Where it came from
Pulsar is a pioneering work of Japanese experimental animation produced by NHK. Emerging during a period when the network was actively exploring the boundaries of visual storytelling and abstract aesthetics, the film was designed to test the technical capabilities of early computer-assisted animation techniques integrated with traditional artistic forms.
The visual direction sought to evoke the vastness of space through minimalist geometric shapes and rhythmic pacing, reflecting the era's fascination with science fiction and cybernetic themes. Upon its release, it was noted primarily by critics and animation historians for its innovative fusion of electronic soundscapes and avant-garde imagery, solidifying its place as a significant artifact of public television's experimental era.
