Astro Boy hearts the 10th Anniversary Prius
Ahh, Japan. What would we do without you? Without your Toyota Prius and Astro Boy, we certainly wouldn't have this commercial. But there's more than just a Prius and Astro Boy here. We're talking a whole mess of Osamu Tezuka's characters and quick shots of different Prius models, which end in a reveal of the latest, 10th Anniversary edition.
The commercial is in Japanese, but I don't think any of our non-Japanese speakers will have any problem understanding it, as it's mostly "oooohs" and "aaaahs." It's not a new video (the clip was uploaded back in April), but it's short and fun. Kind of like the Prius itself.

they should use more often, animated characters from various animes and cartoons :-) besides Astroboy, there a Esso ad featuring Lupin the 3rd
