The high density non-abelian matter produced in heavy ion collisions is extremely
anisotropic. Prethermal dynamics for the anisotropic and weakly coupled matter
is discussed. Thermalization is realized with the effective kinetic theory in the leading
order accuracy of the weakly coupled expansion. With the initial condition from color
glass condensate, hydrodynamization time for the LHC energies is realized to be about 1
fm/c, while the thermalization happens much later than the hydrodynamization.
