Real Cartoon Gliders

In the category of "eccentric gliders", a non-soaring friend told me
that one run of the Japanese Animae cartoon series Eureka7, is about a
character who is or flies a glider (sorry, I've not actually read or
seen the series). Part of the story line is the search for lift.
Turns out someone has built a 1:1 of the cartoon glider:

with a short movie of the build/flight:

Just don't fall off!
