This still is a frame from the Shoushimin Series, an anime. It was on screen for 4-5 sec. It is a rendition of kira city in japan.

So, my question is why is it so detailed? It could not have been made from zero for a 4 sec shot, so what method did they use to make it?

My guesses are:

1. Drawn form the actual picture of the place.
2. The actual image was anime-fied.

Please drop down any guesses you may have or if you know anything about it.
