Yuasa Chibi Maruko-chan op

MouCripes! There's a Chibi Maruko-chan opening by Masaaki Yuasa that I'd never seen before. It's the most amazing one, too. The round drops and the style of coloring/shading are strongly reminiscent of Cat Soup, so it must have been one of the last if not the last one he did. I still haven't been able to find the original opening and ending, though, which have massive nostalgia value to me, since I remember watching the show when it first came out and remember that a lot of why I loved the show so much was for that crazy opening and ending. The opening has Maruko flying through the air in one continuous sequence on this odd creature, flying through a koi-nobori flag, the camera just zooming around her as she's flying in the air. At the end she reaches her destination, which for some reason is a massive elephant who unzips and out of his body comes flying a huge flock of glowing golden birds. Wonderful oneiric madness the likes of which I'd never seen before in anime, and I remember watching that op over and over. Before I even knew his name, I was in love with Yuasa.

damn now you can watch everything on you tube. Just not in the best quality. I just looked at the best of Norio Matumoto and Shinya Ohira.

Could any of that OP possibly be in this collection of Yuasa animation? Even if it isn't, I'm absolutely dying to know where it's from.

I think mostly it's just taken from the Chibi Maruko-chan "My Favorite Song" movie and the first two Shin-chan films. Henderland is also there... Cat Soup, Hakkenden, Mind Game, Champloo, Slime.
