Video Essay about Katamari Damacy
By consulting Ovid's Metamorphoses, this video tries to illuminate one of the stories of the constellations (the swan Cygnus) just like how the green fellow with a long head from Katamari Damacy re-creates the constellations by making a snowball out of civilian infrastructure. Well, kinda like that anyway.
