Babylon 5: The Legend of the Rangers - To Live and Die in Starlight
Humanity is on the brink of extinction. When a mad scientist injects himself with water bear (called Kumamushi in Japanese) DNA and gets a squishy body, humanity soon transforms into Kumamushians, and the world is saved. But 20 years later, a group of boys refuse to become Kumamushian and rise up against the invasion. A passion-fueled stop-motion animation by 3 Japanese high schoolers from their school's film club.
