The New A-Class.: Next Stage with YOU

Commercials suck, right? Everyone despises them. But this... this right here... it's beautiful!

This Mercedes-Benz commercial, along with the 6 min ONA are ones of the most incredible marketing I've ever seen. We all know that popular brands attach their names to other popular things, but never did I ever imagined that Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, the guy behind the character designs of Evangelion, FLCL, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (to name a few) would design CG songstresses in a Mercedes commercial, and that's knowing how weird Japanese commercials are.

The video is super simple and nothing really goes on - some girls sing and dance and ... some robo dude is driving a car. Still, it's unbelievably, utterly, amazingly amusing.

Even if Sadamoto did it just for money, it's still enjoyable; seeing this guy doing something like that.

Story
Not really a factor for this anime. Even though the anime had something to show it was just done to promote a sale. As opposed to a good anime show to watch like naurto. With a show like naruto you have plot. You have characters. You have their back stories. You have drama. You recieve life lessons.

Here it is clear only the basics were covered. Short in time. Have product covered in about half of the show. Have a catchy element. In this case a song and dance. Not to mention an attractive body that is of the human like varity to ... admire.

Art/song
Nice song and dance routine. Catchy. Although is none going to question the fact how a car goes from a single rider to fully loaded? Especially when it lead to believe that there is no time to stop.

Lastly, more importantly where is the mechanics? Yeah it is nice and pretty but when am I going to show me how the product is different? What am i investing in? From the art alone? I will guess to say that the driving is automatic? As in the car owner doesn't need to drive?

Was the creator expecting the mechanics to be covered by the show they paid for? If that is the case will the car really be fast? Will the car require mechanical add-on(tweaking)? Is the rotating seat feature really work in the way shown? Is it fully tested? As in bug free. These are features and questions that are brought up in the original show.

I don't think again that this commercial provider really thought about what they were doing. For i doubt that it does all the features it allegedly provides. If by some chance it does they still covered mechanic failure elements? Why would i want a product if it is not guaranteed to run smoothly?
