Road to You (original) (raw)

Another short review, I suppose. Also, TLDR below

Well, this was pretty good.

I will get into this by first saying that each of these commercials does have a story to be told within them. I won't explain what happens in them, because the synopsis does that for me already, rather, if they are executed well.

All three stories generally use the same setup of quickly setting up the characters, so much so that it can be deciphered as to what the are doing via their lives and the current events around them with little effort. The only sad story you get out of those this however is... "The Snow that Dances in Memories", the rest are somewhat happier. Basically, there is variety in here as opposed to the same formula being spewed out continuously, there is something for everyone I guess. I think the third story was the worst, just because of the handling of characters, and the need for it to be somewhat bombastic, but it is not bad.

With visuals, for some reason, they are inconsistent, nothing is bad, but the difference between the first two and the last one is obvious. The first two feel like something out of a slightly watered down Shinkai movie, whereas the last one feels very abstract and bold. Nothing bad, I liked both, but I have no idea why the change happened, felt kinda awkward.

I enjoyed this as a little story to watch I suppose, I would imagine most people do, I don't really ever see hate on anime-style commercials, so if you are here, you will most likely enjoy this.

TLDR: Watch this. It is good as a commercial.

But this is not the real reason we watch these, it is so that we can vroom vroom into our loved ones with super special awesome Dunlop Tyres Winter Maxx tire line edition thingy.

"Drive to the one you love", as they say.
