This is easily one of the strangest ads I've ever seen. I was just waiting for Dende to look at them and ask "What's a car and how will it help us defeat Freiza?"

Laughing Maybe this is a sign that big American companies are seeing the growing appeal of anime in the US.

If you watched DBZ when it first came out you're probably between 24-34 now. The perfect age for car companies looking to sell their products.

Exactly. I already own a 2007 Ford Focus though...so despite being 28 the ad is kind of meaningless for me.

They should wish for a better studio and highly skilled animators.

Gohan can't drive and Is Krilin even tall enough to drive?

Should have wished for Gohan to stick to his training like a mad man when he turns 12.

Didn't see that one coming anyway it's a fun commercial one that rightfully deserves to be a super bowl commercial can you imagine that all of America watching a Dragon ball Z commercial for the Ford Focus minds will be blown. Shocked

I love how Sonny Strait gave it his all in this commercial too. He's a super-reliable guy.

This is Dragon Ball Z. If there's any anime that you can bet your Joe Schmoe on the street will recognize, it's this one.

Oh sh-###


Now that was surprising.

Few moments after they get the car, Vegeta & Frieza destroys all of them.

But this is nice though.

Also

This video is old; but I just want to post it:

I would think that Porunga would question why they would wish for a car when they are capable of moving faster than any car, but then again, Shenron granted Oolong's wish for underwear, so it's not like the dragons care how frivolous your wish is.
