    During an uninspired Youtube session to pass some time, i decided to watch some anime shorts and was lucky enough to find Ryoutei no Aji. That these two short stories, told in different lengths (between 15 and 90 seconds) and therefore making up six videos, are just commercials for a japanese instant food brand, simply amazed me. The animation is great, the music beautiful, the stories heartwarming and there is actually so little focus on the touted products. I highly recommend you watch all of them. It won´t take you even five minutes and i´m sure you will just wish that, no matter where you live, commercialswould look like this there too!
