I haven't seen this one, but product placement has been in anime for a while. Sometimes its sponsors. Sometimes, it the anime creators wanting authenticity. Contax Tessar lenses in spy cameras...or the BIG arctic warfare sniper rifle used in Eva...) I haven't seen Macross Zero yet, but I wouldn't be too surprised...

Yeah I seem to remember Onizuka playing Ape Escape in G.T.O. Still this was funny... the label was turned out and everything, the official soft drink of the U.N. Spacey

You downloaded the AJ fansub?Is it worth the download since it's only 190megs?Is the encoding and subs any good? The first episode I downloaded was Xvideo and AC3 at 350megs which is DVD quality. Do you know if there's going to be another fansub and by what group?(the 1st OVA I have is from NLA). And lastly,is it good?I suppose it's got more action than the first no?

I take it you've never seen Child's Toy / Kodacha... that anime was wall to wall advertisements sometimes. Crazy.

A common advertisment I see in anime is WcDonalds. :P Seen it in quite a few. EDIT: Yes! Episode 2 is on Kazaa!

Yeah I couldn't wait so I cracked and got the animejunkies episode... the DVD has been out for 4 days now, but AJ is usually the fastest. The encoding quality is just average and the timing on the subs is a little fast (I've been watching subtitles for 10 years and there were still parts I couldn't catch). With episode 1 it seemed like every subber and his mother released their own version... so there will be lots to choose from. Personally I'll be deleting this after a better version is out... most likely the Animeone or Newlife version will be the best. It's an awesome OAV though, I'll definitely be watching it more than once.
