| That was cool. |

| Nice 6 minutes. |
| Sounds like Sawashiro-san and Suzumura-san. I don't recognize another guy's voice. Wow, the ramen looks real! |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Pretty legit... Hopefully it never makes it to American Tv.... Seems that on the site, they've got a shirt with the characters on it... And an artbook of sorts... Probably just storyboards... There also seems to be a little Figure of the chick in the advert... :|... lol. |

| Sawashiro Miyuki.... Must buy Mercedes Benz. |
 |
| The advert made me want to watch more anime than anything else. |
| So, the Mercedes try to reach otaku too? It won't make it cheaper. Nice truck. mitch3315 said: Sawashiro Miyuki.... Must buy Mercedes Benz. Only if the car will talk with her voice. |

 |
| not bad, good short anime for advertising purposes lol |
| Nice 6 minutes. I assuming there would be a few more 6 minute episodes by December, that would nice to look forward to. |
| The CGI was inserted almost seamlessly though there were some moments where it stood out noticably. While it shouldn't be too surprising since all the budget for this anime is condensed in a few minutes, this short was more impressive in terms of animation than the majority of TV series airng right now. |
 |
| This director has such an impressive portfolio! |
| My Twitter My Tumblr - Anime Blogging on current airing season as I watch them. My deviantArt - Anime FanArts. Please leave replies on my profile page, as I am unlikely to see them otherwise. Thanks. |
| Haha, this was totally worth my time! Up for a sequel any day. |
| Im a trance artist, check out my music video on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQlR5qF3rnk What makes an anime good is based on how many strings in my heart it can touch and emotions deploy. |
| That.. was.. awesome! I mean, totally! There will be a continuation of that? Coolz |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Only someone in Japan could come up with a story like that for a car commercial. With that said, the animation quality was A-class (pukukuku), even better than for some of the top line anime this year. Sawashiro Miyuki is a must have if you try to sell anything, and the new Mercedes looks amazing. Already did even before this short. I hope that if I ever get to buy an A-class Sawashiro will be the voice of the onboard navigation. It will be extremely dangerous but extremely cool. |
| I think I heard Kenichi Suzumura's voice! I'll watch it then! |
| Shifting city blocks and car seats. Awesome. |
| deserves a movie |
 |
| Mercedes Benz cool level just went over 9000 |
 |
| Lol nice way of advertising, I would buy. |
As it turns out, living was a punishment...  |
| got some hot wheel action at the end, weeeeeeeeeeeeee |

| Was pretty amusing. Nice animation as well. |

| That was funny! XD I love all the short anime that advertise the cars. :D I like the characters in this one too! |

| Wow. Awesome. More. Please. |
| Wow that is quite neat!! I really like the video's idea of Tokyo too! That'll be a great version of Tokyo for the setting of an anime series! Maybe they will make one sponsored by Mercedes Benz? :P |
 |
| Yep, that was actually pretty good! |
 |
| So basically, the truck is much better than the Mercedes, eh? Where can I get one? And... I'm assuming the Mercedes comes with rotating seats :D If it does, I'm sold~ |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Awesome! That was really worth 6 mins of watching. Better than Wangan Midnight or Initial D imo. Still, I could hardly believe that. Mercedes fitting a 6.2 L V8 on a hot hatch? That's unbelievable! Wonder how that car is going to handle with power like that. |
| Awesome. Great for I.G. Productions to have this under their belt. |

| Holy crap, that was actually really awesome! Despite being a 6-minute Anime short promoting a Mercedes Benz car, I really liked the 'story' and characters. :D Animation was great, Production I.G. doesn't disappoint. Need more companies making anime shorts to promote their products. >=D |
 |
| it was not half bad i mus t say |
| 2/10. I guess the car CGI deserves a point. |
