Taking advantage of the utterly colossal popularity of Shingeki no Kyojin, automobile manufacturer Subaru has released a commercial for its Subaru Forester which unsubtly demonstrates its capabilities by having it outrun attacking titans, providing what is thought to be the first glimpse of the live action edition.
Although not the first time Subaru has used anime to drum up car sales, it is a fairly unusual choice of genre – though it probably owes more to manga being adapted into a live action movie than its extreme popularity as an anime.
holy s♥♥t its my old land lady
runaway…RUNAWAY!!!
If only the recon army have Subaru intead of a mere Horse…
NO s♥♥t!
Probably better effects than in the movie if they will ever make one.
Apparently Otaku are rich, and therefore good potential custommers.
What’s more funny is that car sales in Japan are stagnant, this commercial probably cost more than the sales it’ll bring in.
Sales are in the shitter because the manufacturers, government and insurance companies have conspired with each other to make owning any kind of vehicle a bottomless money pit. Instead of stimulating new vehicle sales, they’ve pushed people toward alternate forms of transport or public transport.
