This is an effervescently refreshing set of commercials. I wish the rest of the world made commercials as beautiful and memorable as these. Even so, there's honestly not a great deal to say about these fleeting works- there is a barebones 'story', which is a cute setup but, of course, a little rushed. The art is far and away the strongest aspect here. It it undeniable that these commercials are masterfully animated, with everything from the light shining through the translucent bottle to the way the drink itself looks smooth, crisp, and refreshing being a masterclass in artistic representation, and is even enough to make me thirsty just thinking about it. The sound is solid, if a little loud given that it's been mixed as a commercial meant to grab your attention. As for the characters, the…

These three short ads combined are about a minute of watch time meaning it's not worth reading a review about and you're better off just watching the animations and seeing whether you like them.
Personally I can't recommend watching them. The animation is the same quality as the movie with added water bottles. The music is the same quality as the movie and the voice acting is the same quality of the movie with added drinking sounds.
The reason why watching the ads is useless is that there's literally no story and the characters don't even seem to be talking about the products. Also even though it's listed as three episodes, it's only two ads with the third ad being the first two ads with alternating segments.
Overall it's ads with good animation that will not add anything to your exp…

This is by far the best commercial I have ever seen. And for that reason alone it gets a 10 out of 10 for me. I mean who wouldn't want to buy their product after that amazing commercial. I sure as hell would. If only we had these commercials in America. Nah but really these 3 eps are a good way to get you to appreciate the art of the series and just get you more hyped up in a way for the actual show.
If anything the least it does is make you look like you watched more anime than you actually did. So go ahead watch it!

Suntory Minami Alps no Tennensui is only an advert showing off a water brand using the popular anime 'Kimi no Na wa' as the face.
Story: 3/10
I adore the Kimi no Na wa. It has such an amazing and telling story. Extremely beautiful. This advert recaptures that amazement I first felt. I would love for a sequel or something else regarding this story. The advert itself only briefly retells the original story, so nothing new really.
Art: 10/10
Art, as expected by Makoto Shinkai, is outstanding. Even for an advert (though a lot of scenes were re-used from the movie). The artstyle that Shinkai produces is breathtaking and I can never get enough of it. Amazing.
Sound: 9/10
Plays the classic and beautiful song 'Zenzenzense' in the background throughout. One of my absolute favourite anime songs e…

Ok, so putting this as a completed anime in MyAnimeList is the literal definition of BILARDISMO (any argentinian will know what I am talking about). In other words, there is no way this counts as anime. I mean, yes, I actually completed it (and in completed section, this has the exact same weight as full One Piece, as they both count as one full series). But... please, no. I can´t understand how anyone thought it would be a great idea.
On the other hand, knowing japanese often use anime as a marketing method, this is actually fine as an advertisement. In fact, I wish we had some of these in other countries. They work better than some occidental ads.
Story: 4.5/10
Art: 8.5/10
Sound: 8/10
Character: 6/10 (it´s a 9 in the movie)
Enjoyment: 6/10
Overall: 6/10
Should you watch it? Emm, I mea…

This is totally nothing out of the ordinary, just another commercial, related to anime, *weebs intensifying*.
It's disgusting really, we're at that stage where we'd consume literally anything if it was marketed the right way.
“Suntory Minami Alps no Tennen Mizu” is a collaboration with Suntory and Kimi no Na Wa, obviously aimed at the fans to sale some extra water bottles, it seems on the surface that they tried too much to sell it out, they even adapted some deep symbolism from the movie itself to make some sense out of the 3 related but at the same time different perspective on presenting the same idea that only becomes full circle at the last episode.
It can almost deceive you to giving it somewhat a considerable score, but no, nothing of that makes up for the wast of time it really was…

Not sure why this is on MAL. In fact, I didn't even watch this until I watched the movie, so I guess this didn't turn out the way it was supposed to.
To begin with, I'm a massive fan of the movie. I loved every aspect of it, so when I saw this in the related anime below, I decided that I had to see what it was all about because I just NEEDED another taste of this beautiful movie. (However, I'm eager to forget about it a little so that I can watch it again remembering as little as possible :P)
To begin with, the so called 'storyline' (like guys... it's really just a commercial) read kinda like the original trailer, so nothing really crazy there.
The art, like usual, was simply astounding. Everything was clean, colorful, bright, appealing, and I was able to easily differentiate everyth…

Come on... stop writing about the movie since this is an ad that is mysteriously on MAL... In this review of a 70 seconds long split into 3 epis.... ads.....
I'll just talk about the ad then, I guess....
They are tasty, but the flavored ones cost almost the same as your regular soda...
Everywhere you go in Japan, supermarkets, convenience stores... Radwimps is playing. Last time you saw a movie hyping this much in Japan was with Frozen, I guess...
I'll just type random sentence to make this sufficient..
It wants me to write a longer review which wastes eye strength, lol.

TL;DR: Thirsty for Japanese Mineral Water? Watch this NOW! Not thirsty? Then don’t.
From the visionary director of great hits like Byousoku 5 Centimeter, Kotonoha no Niwa and the 2016 blockbuster, Kimi no Na wa, comes an animation that will leave you saying, “OH MY GAWD, why is this even on MAL???” Suntory Minami Alps no Tennen Mizu, directed by Makoto Shinkai, deemed as this decades’, “Miyazaki," presents a visual brilliance in just three 20 seconds burst that will surely quench your undesired thirst.
From the story perspective, the plot is brilliant. They say a picture can tell a 1000 words. However, Makoto defied that saying by making 20 seconds tell over 1 billion words. How does he achieve this feat? He does it through not one, not two but three 20 seconds worth of video clips. Av…

By far one of the best animes I've ever seen! Perfect depth in all categories.
No, seriously I don't even have a clue why this is on MAL (since it's just a TV ad), but the animation is top notch and I look forward to seeing the movie in all it's glory.
I was actually quite surpised by the trailers and the high quality of the PVs and now having this as a TV ad gives you another good glimpse of how good this movie actually looks like/will look like. Might be one of the most amazing animations in years (at least in my opinion).
Sadly this ad doesn't reveal anything particularly new about the story, but for that you can watch the normal trailers (also found on MAL, but not with their own entries, lol).
And maybe, just maybe I'm going to taste that Suntory water myself whenever I'm in Japan…
