We don’t think you’re really ready for this. Toyota, the same company that makes a sober and serious cars (for boring people), has made an anime, one of Japanese cartoon series.
It’s called Peace Eco Smile, or PES for short, and it’s about PES, a traveller from space, and NaSuBi, a mysterious life-form who is enamored by the charm of Earth.
Each week, Toyota has been releasing a new episode, and all are obviously centric around being green. Can you guess what sort of cars they drive in this strange fictional creation? Yes, a bunch of Toyotas, most notably the regular Prius Liftback and the new Prius C subcompact hybrid hatch.
We’ve browsed through the series and also spotted the Camry hybrid, Lexus LFA and GT 86 sports coupe in there as well. All are slightly tinted by the world of anime and seem much cooler than in reality.
