Just gonna say it... Was really hoping #Bubsy4D was gonna have a longer title revealed on the title screen the way Bubsy 3D did.
Ah well.

@GabrielPyron @werton_playskin It always surprised me how Sega kept the Golden Axe games capped at 8 megabits
Like, why?

@werton_playskin Its the sacrifices thats you must do to make an brawler game in 1993 using only 8mb of rom space

Alright, story time.
Back in the early 1990s, Valis here was probably the first time the West got to experience something of Japanese high fantasy as it relates to anime. Yes, it's a video game, but it's also representative of the fantasy storytelling 1980s Japan enjoyed when it came to anime and manga; starting with Leda and going from there.
Naturally this generated a great deal of interest in the American anime fandom, so the question was if there was ever an anime or OVA for Valis.
This was vehemently denied on rec.arts.anime (remember, there was no real web yet) and that was that. Most insisted it never existed, and some conjectured that maybe, somewhere in Steve Pearl's legendary massive collection of video tapes, evidence of this anime exists.
In terms of access to videotapes and other stuff, nobody in America had more ready access to a large archive of anime than him. I've never met the guy, but nearly every anime FAQ mentioned him and his ridiculously large collection. Hideaki Anno announced that Steve Pearl was the American Otaking. (Steve Pearl did not live past the 1990s IIRC. Terminal illness or something.)
However, if Steve had video of the fabled Valis anime, he never mentioned it. But the Western anime fan consensus was that the Valis anime simply did not exist.
Anyway it does exist, it's like 12 or 14 minutes (check youtube, the one I'm QRTing here is just the commercial sourced from that anime) and it was Anno's debut at directing an anime.
