In 2009, Production I.G-- best known for such lofty titles as Eden of the East, xxxHOLiC, Ghost in the Shell, and Patlabor --established a new project. The project was bold. It was daring. It was funny. It was an ad...for a sports drink.Yes, Production I.G created ads for a drink called Aquarius, and according to anime!anime!, those ads have placed Aquarius into of the top 1,000 brands of 2009. That may not sound like a lot, but over 9,000 (no, literally-- 9,211) ads were eligible. Of those I.G's ads weren't just in the top thousand, they actually placed #147. Congratulations, Production I.G! Without further ado, here is one of the ads in question. <object height="518px" width="640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Jhwn4NS-Wig&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Jhwn4NS-Wig&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="518px" width="640px"></embed></param><param value="transparent" name="wmode"></param></object> What do you think? I would buy this drink. I could stand to be a better golfer.
