Synopsis

This is the Animation Store Manager!!

Anime Tenchou is a CM character for Animate, one of Japan's biggest retailer of anime, games, and manga. The character series was created by Shimamoto Kazuhiko for publicity purposes. Later adapted into a manga, a weekly radio drama and this OVA animated by GAINAX and directed by Anno Hideaki.

Anizawa Meito is the blazing store manager. He is a fireball who loves animation merchandise at heart. He takes over the dying wish of the former store manager, though still alive, who was attacked by the rival store and becomes a "store manager" of newly opened animation goods specialty store, Animate. The scarlet, "store manager visor" is his trademark.

Anime Tenchou, or Two Minutes of Mirth

There's not a whole lot to say about a two minute commercial for a real life anime and manga store... except when it's animated by Gainax and Hiroyuki Imaishi.

When you combine the future craziness that would be Dead Leaves with Imaishi's immediately recognizable character designs and super wild and hyperactive characters, add in his penchant for flamboyant, hyper exaggerated story work (of which there's a lot packed into a tiny two minute commercial!)
you get ANIME TENCHOU!

For a bit of background, Anime Tenchou is the mascot for the "Animate" store. This commercial was originally designed to be just ...

What do all good advertisements need?

Do they need to be informative and relevant facts clearly and concisely? Do they need to be original and distinguish themselves from their competitors? Do they need to be attractive and capture the audience’s attention?

No, No and No!

All a good advertisement needs is spirit!

How do you expect a man to sign up for a two year after sales warranty on his new dish washer if you can’t even ignite a fire in their belly with a sales pitch that even a Godfather wouldn’t be able to refuse? You can’t. You can’t even get him in ...

This is a quirky little advertisement for the store called Animate in Japan. Anime Tenchou is their mascot, and this short features Anime Tenchou running an anime store with a cast of co workers.

The animation wasn't terrible, but the transitions from scene to scene were a little abrupt, even for a short. The sound quality wasn't great (at least where I saw it.)

This isn't the worst advertisement around, but I can't really recommend it since it doesn't do much except tell you that the store Animate exists. Since I've already done that in this review, the advertisement has even less to offer. Oops.
