Bad Apple
A classic animation originating in 2009 from the Touhou Project fan community, rendered entirely in black-and-white silhouette style with complex, fluid shape transformations. Due to its visually minimal yet technically demanding nature, it has become a widely recognized benchmark demonstration used in technical communities to test the image-output capabilities of various systems.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Bad Apple!! is a song with accompanying animation born in 2009 from the Touhou Project doujin culture.
In this hands-on test, GPT-6 Astra was used to generate an animation in one shot, attempting to recreate the Bad Apple MV.
Bad Apple is characterized by pure silhouettes, high frame rates, and continuous motion, and has long been regarded as a classic benchmark material for testing rendering and animation coherence.
Bad Apple is dominated by a large number of flowing organic silhouette curves, and describing these shapes with SVG paths is far more difficult than drawing simple geometric figures.
The original Bad Apple was arranged by Masayoshi Minoshima, sung by nomico, and the animation was produced by anira.
Bad Apple has been recreated and run by players using systems such as Minecraft redstone circuits, oscilloscope displays, and Game of Life cellular automata.
A recurrent neural network containing 417,000 parameters is capable of autonomously generating the complete 6,500-frame Bad Apple video from a single initial state.
