Obvious derivative work.

Or are they both derived from something else? Either way, its a fun thing if it catches on.

Live2D software maybe ?
I think with their Cubism Editor thing, it's possible to do things like that.

Are you guys slow or something? There is a bunch of these and they are made using a program. Just search for:"animated rating:safe" and browse a few pages.

Some of them seem to flow more naturally than others. Some of them have weird motion blurs.

I mean to imply that the image I linked to is probably the trend starter. Looking for a confirm.

The blur depends on the rate of frame transitions which is configurable I guess, and the quality also depends on the placement of the warppoints and the exact warp vectors used to morph the image.

Well, interesting to see that 2D is taking a new direction with E-mote, this way anime literally can be visually interactive (for some degree, that is), and doesn't have to be strictly a stream of concrete pixel data in video frames. Though full pseudo-3D (cel-shaded style) animation is out of question as long as they don't make several morphable images of the characters viewed from various angles covering a 360° full circle horizontally, and at least covering some leeway vertically.

About the only time I've ever found Reimu to be cute.
