Lol, just finished watching this and was a fun one with cars and driving. I don't drive like that irl as cops would be after my ass in a heartbeat. Speaking of cops, those two police cars that crashed into each other..damn

It was an amusing watch though overall. And kids, DO NOT EVER ATTEMPT THIS. I'm dead serious. There's also another ONA in the making as it seems from the ending. Hmm..

If I'm not mistaken that girl seiyuu is Sawashiro Miyuki. (http://myanimelist.net/people/99/Miyuki_Sawashiro) Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the girl voice is Sawashiro Miyuki. Anyone agrees? Anyway what is her name?

Lol'd at the ramen being real, as in not 2D. It was an alright way to burn 6 minutes I guess.

Miyuki Sawashiro, Kenichi Suzumura, and Kenjiro Tsuda are the main three, I think.

Oh how I wish this became a series I would watch it in a heart beat the animation is stunning for something that served as an advertisement.....Mercedes sure knows how to impress a crowd....they impressed me and they probably just said "hey make us an anime short, make it visually stunning" smh
just do it make this damn thing a series

All I got out of it was that Mercedes claims their sedans could catch up to trucks (lol), they have rotating seats (cool, but false), and that it could fly through bridges and land/bump into a truck all without taking a scratch...

Ah, the convenience of anime ads allowing false advertising...

The legendary tofu stand is next...let me guess, it's also on wheels and a Mercedes. It was an ad but I think it was OK. And yeah the ramen somehow made me hungry too! 5/10

Well, it was fun to watch. Expect from the animation, there wasn't anything that great. They also didn't exploit a lot of that ''movable city'', they could have putted more dynamic with that, but they only used it one time.
