Mameshiba

While I was in Tokyo a couple of years ago, I kept seeing these short animated adverts which were really weird. 
After remembering them again, I decided to have a look for them online. I literally only had 'talking green beans advert Japan' to go by in terms of a Google search but I managed to find the whole series of these ads on YouTube. Turns out they're called Mameshiba which are different varieties of beans that have dog-like faces and tell trivia and they're actually quite popular in the UK in terms of merchandise.
I really like the animated shorts however, I think the kind of watercolour style colour palette works really nice and the sad songs in the background when the bean is talking definitely gives it it's comedic value.
