Japan cm of the week - Mercedes Benz NEXT A-Class anime

I saw this commercial for the Mercedes Benz NEXT A-Class just minutes ago and had to post it. OK, I saw the short version. This is the long mini-movie.

Not only is it cool (albeit a bit strange), but I have to give kudos to Mercedes for not only posting the commercial on their webpage (the link is above, very nice design), but also for letting people share and embed the video freely. That is how you connect with your customers. There are even English subtitles on it - click on captions to turn them on.

Oh, and the car is neat also. They've got a lot of short videos up on their site that tell more about it.
