New Japan Xbox 360 Commercial

Heretics! Burn the X360 supporters!
(All...5 of them)
Anyhoo... it's ok, I guess. I never really got into any of the commercials they put out. I think they should make more use of the animation where the X hits the grey sphere as it comes on-screen for some "epic-like" commercial.

Yes, it is clearly the story of 5 young men who's lives were brought together by xbox live. But now they are outcasts of Japanese society. And must stay on the run from the Playstaion fans who would will never understand the the love that keeps them together.
huh? Maybe there'll be a follow up ad to explain it? Otherwise I've no idea what the point is (like so many ads these days...)

IMO, the shootout commerical is one of the best I've ever seen. Everytime I watch it, I start laughing when I imagine just how much fun that would be in real life.
Powderkeg said:They actually believe your blood type has anything to do with your character?
Well, I guess that would be more socially acceptable than comparing penis sizes.
It's not that odd. Remember Kretschmer tried to sort people's personality by their body stature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Kretschmer . At first, it really sounds a little strange, but everyone got their "superstitions".

Ever wondered why Japanese games characters are always assigned a blood type?
My understanding of the blood type interest is that it comes from the deep rooted yearning for greater demarcation within a largely homogenous society. It’s a natural manifestation of the human desire to differentiate.

Which is something a lot of anime and manga self-deprecate within Japanese culture by having characters introduce themselves to strangers by pretty much reciting a mildly abridged autobiography. About as definitive as it gets.
My dad tells me of a power plant he was working at in Tiruchi where one of the supervisors who came in for routine inspections had this need to try and pay everybody a unique compliment to make them feel special. When he ran out of things to say, he'd simply form this friendly-sounding sentence where he effectively just told you your name, your job, and where you were doing it. e.g. "You know... Of all the xxxxxes in the world, you're the one and only xxxxx monitoring boiler pressures in a plant on ****** street in Tiruchi."

The shootout ad is clever. It reminds me of a scene from the old British show Spaced:
