Oscar-Winning Studio Robot Animates 4th Marukome Miso Ad

posted on by Lynzee Loveridge

The anime studio Robot returned to animate the fourth commercial for Marukome, a food company best known for its Ryōtei no Aji (First-Class Flavor) miso products. The 30-second and 90-second versions of the "Ryōtei no Aji-Eki Miso Jōkyo-Hen (Ryōtei no Aji Brand Liquid Miso Soup: Moving to Tokyo Chapter) ad are streaming on Marukome's website, and will debut on television on April 7.

The story follows a mother who comes to Tokyo from Hiroshima to see some friends and visit her son. When he cooks breakfast for her, his mother learns that he hasn't forgotten his hometown since moving to Tokyo and she's able to see how much he's grown.

Robot produced Kunio Katō's Oscar-winning short "La Maison en Petits Cubes," Yoshiyuki Tomino's 30th anniversary short "Ring of Gundam," and the anime film Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva.

Marukome released a rather advant-garde ad questioning the meaning of 'kawaii' last month.
