Anime-style Commercials

I've been wanting to discuss this for a while. For the past few years I've been seeing more and more U.S. commercials drawn in anime style popping up. One of the most notable ones I remember is a commercial for the Benihana food chain. This is one understandable as it is a famous Japanese cuisine restaurant.

Here are two others for Skechers shoes--Z Strap (for boys) and Elastica (for girls). Fast forward to 1:07 in the first video. Notice how in the first one the main character transforms in a sentai-style sequence and acquires special armor. Heck, even the cel-shading is animesque. (Look, even the speed lines are there!) The second one is way too obvious. It has mahou shoujo (shows like Sailor Moon) written all over it. Observe:

One more Skechers for good measure...this one is Hy-Top, a girls' shoe.

Recently there was another anime-style commercial I saw for a toy, and for some reason the kid in the commercial looked like some kind of shounen anime hero. If I find it, I'll post it here, but I can't remember what the advertisement was for at the moment. In fact, there's a lot commercials like these I can't remember at the moment. I'll update this post as I find them.

UPDATE 1/4/09: I have a channel on my cable called MTV Hits, and one of their programs is called Playlistism. This is one of its commercials. Look at the virtual girl at the very beginning. Very anime-esque, wouldn't you say? Big eyes, small pointy nose, funky hair color....
