Yet another Japanese auto maker putting their finger in the anime and manga pie, and why not if it means they can sponsor better creations that steers away from the loli-moe-fanservice glut that has been clogging up the media like giant jellyfish these past few years, I'm all for it.
 
For a second I thought that PES meant they were making an anime out of Pro Evolution Soccer, D'oh!
 
A quid says PES is the personification of Toyota's new model yet to be released, or some new fangled piece of equipment for the hybred. :wink:
