Never before has a set of tire commercials touched my heart like this little anime, which is honestly a sentence I never thought I'd have to say. Road to You is an extremely effective set of commercials for winter tires, but furthermore it understands the principles of what goes into a truly great advertisement- you're not really selling the thing you're selling. These shorts are touching, emotional, and made possible by tires that can handle winter weather, even if they only seem to be in the frame by happenstance. As such, I'd say the story is the strongest aspect of this anime, as each episode is touching and well-written and genuinely human in such a way that it doesn't even feel as though they were made primarily to be commercials. My favorite episode is episode 2, with the telescope…

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.

This is a short, so I wrote a short review.
Very cute face expressions, and outstanding art as expected from Kenichi Tsuchiya, who was involved in the animating of Kimi no Na wa and Kotonoha No Niwa. It's only 3 mins 29 secs long, but the work put into it is much greater.
The most surprising part was that this is supposed to be a promotional short for Dunlop's tires, but until 2:05 there is no indication that it is one. I was pretty happy that it didn't only show boring tires for most of the short.
The use of light and reflections was really good. They incorporated the 3 stories pretty well, considering the short amount of time.
Overall a 9, don't expect too much from this like as if it's masterpiece. It's just good in my opinion anyway. Recommend to watch for anyone who likes Makoto…
