There are still lot more than this. And the whole opening song is all about
crab, and sometimes Steve Jobs make some appearance like two pictures above
randomly. The anime it self has nothing to do with crab. What's with that? Why
Steve Jobs? Why crabs?

Transcluding [bcy's answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/5659/) from the
previous instance of this question, under the assumption that the answer
wasn't what triggered the DMCA complaint:

alive. archive.foolz.us went down quite some time ago.]
