Anime Koala vs the Glass of Water

A 15-second shōnen anime gag. A chubby koala stares down a glass of water, powers up with a blazing eucalyptus-green aura, then gives it one tiny claw tap. The glass falls off the table and the koala blinks innocently at you. Animated from a first frame, so you can swap in your own character or animal.

Prompt

15-second 2D cel-shaded shōnen anime sequence. Bold linework, flat cel shading, dramatic lighting, comedic tone. One continuous scene with the same character design in every frame. Exactly one koala: a chubby grey koala with fluffy white ear tufts, a big dark nose, round dark eyes, a cream chest and small curved claws. Exactly one glass of water, standing at the edge of the wooden kitchen table.

[0-5s] Wide shot of the quiet kitchen. The koala sits on the table beside the glass, staring at it with intense, narrowed eyes. A dramatic wind ripples its grey fur and white ear tufts, although the window behind it is closed. The eucalyptus sprig in its jar does not move. Slow push-in toward the koala.

[5-10s] Extreme close-up on the koala's eyes as they flare with a blazing eucalyptus-green aura, anime speed lines bursting behind it, the frame trembling. Its paw rises slowly into view, curved claws extended, shaking with power, like a hero gathering energy for a final attack.

[10-15s] Back to the wide shot. One single claw reaches out slowly and deliberately and gives the glass the tiniest tap. The glass tips, slides off the table edge and drops out of the bottom of the frame. The green aura and the wind vanish instantly. The koala sits back calmly, turns to the viewer and blinks slowly and innocently, perfectly satisfied. Hold on the innocent koala; the table edge is now empty.

Keep it 2D anime throughout. Avoid: extra koalas, cats or any other animals, a second glass, extra paws, extra claws, extra legs, a humanised or human-like face, distorted face, warped body, photorealism, 3D render, morphing, flickering, changing fur colour, people, on-screen text, sound-effect lettering, watermark.
