Trying to find short Japanese animation

I'm trying to find a short Japanese animation that I saw on youtube several years ago. It was definitely in a science fiction setting. The most memorable aspect was the shifting POV, moving between characters as they fight in a war, with a character becoming the hero or villain immediately after we start to follow someone else.
I got the impression that it was meant to highlight how the story telling medium causes us to root for a character just based on how they are portrayed, and not their actions. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I think it was by a fairly famous animator.

If it had an unimaginably large cast of characters who spent 90% of the time speaking to one another and relied on documentary-style captions to identify them, you were probably watching the very epic Legend of the Galactic Heroes (Warning: TVTropes link).
