Didnt understand all that was going on besides most of the characters being mascots for candies but it was a really cool promotional vid, really digging the music and animation quality too. |

I enjoyed it. It was done by the crew who worked on BLOOD BLOCKADE BATTLEFRONT, who did some great title sequences for that show. This was very energetic and lively, and simple enough to understand. A chocolate bar and some chocolate mascots aid a romance, in a trippy but enjoyable manner. |

I don’t know why this has such a low score. The animation and directing of this was insane and simply overlooked because let’s face it; the majority of the anime community doesn’t grasp the intricacy of this ad for Lotte. 10/10 |

Should've known this would be here too. I've been seeing this numerous times every now and then for the past year or so, and I just love it! Aesthetics are simply fabulous! Sweet little Romance too, seeing the middle-schooler distraught over not encountering her anymore was so adorable and those final moments are brilliant! Lots of (random) Spirits but this is just great! Thank you, Lotte, BUMP OF CHICKEN and Studio Bones, for this wonderful little treat! Easy 8/10! |

Both versions are nice in their own way. One is more focused on the ads, while the other has more scenes with the boy/girl. If pushed to choose, I pick the ad version, its more "dance number/musical" surrealism fits the music better IMO. |

Both versions of the video are excellent. The more straight up ad version has more of that fervent energy I'd expect from Matsumoto, my favourite being the cat knocking the can into the dude's face. I also like how the music syncs in the start up with the headphones dropping, and it strangely is the only version that includes the boys fantasy of their hands meeting on the candy. That part was pretty cute and fits the boy/girl focus on the other version so much that I'm kinda baffled it was cut. But I prefer the version with the boy/girl focus. For starters, it has the full song, so that's a plus. But while it loses some of the energy, it makes up with it for having much stronger visual/audio connection. Music videos should sync up with song, and this video has several. There's the obvious head beating while wearing headphones part but I love how whenever those chiptune/8-bit sounds show up in the instrumentation that penguin game shows up. But my favourite bit is the "Yeah" vocal parts (which is one of my favourite parts of the song, and is absent in the ad version). The first "Yeah" at 1:02 is synced up with the boy's expression widening due to the cute girl and the second "Yeah" is synced up with him exploding on the New World title screen. I love touches like that. Beyond that, the visuals of this are just top tier pretty, tell a sweet little story (I love the ending bit where the posters are invested in their relationship) and the song is excellent too. Maybe my favourite BUMP OF CHICKEN song, there's a lot of strong hooks, the aforementioned "Yeah" part and the main refrain line "Baby I Love You Daze" is perhaps the catchiest sound they caught on. The vocal runs on Bouen no March might still make the might favourite song from them, but this is solid competition. 8/10. Peter_Dorvay said: What does da ze means? It doesn't really mean anything on it's own. It's just like a masculine exclamation so-to-speak (the female equivalent is dawa). I'm not an expert so someone can feel free to correct me or define it further, but that's the gist of it from my understanding as a JoJo fan. |

Extremely energetic visuals, but didn't like the song at all. I love BUMP OF CHICKEN but this has to be one of their worst songs. Edit- Didn't realize there was another version, this ad version was way better than the one which focuses on the main two characters. Just going to BUMP my rating to 8. |

It’s a funny story how found this music video I stumbled upon a meme that used the main characters of this music video and decided to come and take a look and boy I loved this one. |

In 3 minutes it manages to do what most anime can't do in 3 seasons: that is to develop the characters in a way that doesn't feel forced. Brilliant. Music was also a treat to listen to. Visuals were absolutely stunning |

Bruh is this fr? Like ya'll realise that this is an advertisement right? A fucking advertisement. Such beautiful animation, amazing song, and charming characters. Would love to see this as a full fledged anime. Seriously some MV's are so good that they deserve a whole anime |

Bump of the Chicken has been one of my top favorite JP artists and they never fail to get me hooked on any of their songs, and this one is no exception. To the lyrics, and animation it’s just amazing. |

Better than any ad has any right to be. How does Rie Matsumoto not have more under her filmography?! 1 movie and 2 tv seasons as lead director. There are other roles and smaller projects (like this) too, but she deserves so much more! |
