Promoting the game (with a shiny new catchphrase)

Wow the commercial put out by the JRA is probably the worst one I've ever seen.

Whhhaaaaa? Is that Paul Mc Cartney? Is that a tank in the background?

It's mercifully short anyway.

When you have some of the highest betting turnover in the world, and some of the highest attendance figures in the sport...and I presume you can't understand exactly what is being advertised or marketed...how can you suggest it is the worst?

This is going to sound bitchy and I don't mean for it to but really, I'm only talking about the commercial itself and yes you're right I don't know what it is being marketed here but I can still have an opinion, right>

I'm not a fan of anime but this looks a little hacked out to me, the sound is crappy and all in all with their fantastic racing I think maybe they could have done better!

edit - The JRA could have done something this good, no?

I'm going to go so far as to say you can't have an opinion about the overall if you have no idea what is being marketed, the audience intended, etc.

Well it's obviously an app and that aside since it doesn't really matter I completely do not agree.

People go to movies every day. They can't tell if the foley sucks. Sometimes there are issues with continuity. Most people don't notice.

If a restaurant is running short on a certain spice for example people aren't going to riot.Chances are more than 99 percent don't even notice.

When movies are translated sometimes a hack job is done... do you really think many take issue?

The first race I ever went to was the 2004 Hollywood Derby. I knew nothing but I had an opinion on every race and bet accordingly. It wasn't exactly an educated opinion but so what?

It might not be correct, proper or educated but anyone can have an opinion on anything. LIke right now... mine is that you are being ridiculous.

It's using a popular anime to draw in new fans. I kind of love it, actually.
