When I saw this on 'Super Punch' I was impressed with how slick and futuristic the whole ad looked. I have never seen the manga they reference but now I want to AND I want to have one of those slick Citizen watches. All this from a guy who doesn't wear a watch and generally has no concept of time.
CITIZEN X APPLESEED XIII
This film is the result of collaboration between CITIZEN and the animated series APPLESEED XIII. Eco-Drive SATELLITE WAVE draws its energy from light and receives signals from navigation satellites to display accurate time. Through the medium of animation, one of Japan’s leading cultural exports, the film encapsulates the world view that inspired this watch.
Dawn breaks over Olympus, a solar-powered city of the future.
Time signals stream down from space. The leading characters of APPLESEED XIII, Deunan and Briareos, sprint through the city. The hands of Eco-Drive SATELLITE WAVE on their arms move in unison as they receive accurate time signals from navigation satellites. Time signals stream down from space to every corner of the earth.
