Laughing Way better than the first short.

Could care less what they're advertising...it's just nice to see something new with these characters, even if it is just a few minutes.

Had to have a giggle watching it, recognising the streetcar to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waseda_Station_%28Toden%29 and the shopping bag with "Oomiya-ya" on it.

This second one was WAY better than the first.

But does anyone else find it odd that IBM decides to use an anime about high profile organizations having secret nefarious purposes to show off their cognitive computing technology? On top of that, in this second short the AI manipulates two people and their relationship on its own.

Like I get that it's cute and it's a joke, but it's still kind of creepy.

Compare the second clip at 1:37-1:38 with the real Wasada station on the Toden Arakawa line:
