Ultraman Approves The New Honda Stepwgn

While I am not a fan of cars, I found this advertisement amusing :3.

Like to ask readers a question: Would you buy a car(let’s say you have tons of money) if your fave anime character was promoting it? :D

Was really looking forward to it until the Local Post Office only bothered to scan my item on Tuesday, and no one was home on Tuesday to collect the parcel T_T. So I was only able to collect on Wednesday! Nevertheless, I spent the entire Wednesday night drooling [...]
