Synopsis

The 60-second film features six fierce samurai who rush through a post-futuristic megalopolis using the most unpredictable means of transport (including a kite!) as to make it on time for the last order at their favorite pub.

Background

This commercial film was commissioned by the famous Ireland-based Murphy's Brewery to promote their Irish Stout. Founded in 1865 in the city of Cork, Murphy's Brewery is said to be the greatest competitor of Guinnes.

The British AD agency Nexus Productions expressly asked I.G for a Ghost in the Shell flavour, as Oshii's groundbreaking movie had just been released in the UK creating great sensation around Japanese animation. I.G mustered a dream team that would be unthinkable (and unfeasible) today: Hiroyuki Kitakubo (Blood: The Last Vampire) as helmer, Kazuchika Kise (Ghost in the Shell, Innocence) as character designer and animation supervisor, and Hiromasa Ogura (Jin-Roh) in charge of the background art.

As the first anime style commercial film ever aired in the UK, Last Orders attracted much attention, and was presented by the local press as "the new Murphy's commercial made by the creators of Ghost in the Shell."

Hiroyuki Kitakubo (Blood: The Last Vampire) - Director

Hiromasa Ogura (Jin-Roh) - Background Art

This is the pinnacle of 90s anime aesthetic condensed into 60 seconds. This dream team of artists had complete carte blanche to do whatever they wanted and they knocked it out of the dang park.

The animation is fluid and dynamic, sakuga on levels that rivals 99& of shows now.

Where this really shines is the world design. Watching this raises so many questions, questions that we know will never be answered.

It's totally irrelevant that this is a commercial. If ...

It has beer, samurais, and a dystopic future, the only reason it's not a 10 it's due to the lack of boing boing.

Ghost in the shell better watch out.

This is basically an advertisement for Murphy's Irish Stout, and its incidents are just as the synopsis says.
However, it is an excellent ad which relays a strong atmosphere of a post futuristic megalopolis setting. The cyberpunk apocalyptic scenario along with its excellent design, superb choreography and smooth animation makes a very enticing experience for the eyes while an exciting music playing in the background. Production I.G. nailed it. And it ends it with an interesting unpredictable ending that serves like a cherry over a tasty cupcake.
It delivers an interesting view of a futuristic world. There's not much to say about this 19 years old ad ...
