Yep. I saw that one. I remember that because the MTV sign transformed into a Gundam of some sort. Used I think the "T" on the MTV sign as beam sabers IIRC. Forgot who the opponent was though. But I think the "V" part was the antennae of the Gundam. I remember seeing it on MTV Asia (I'm from the Philippines) as late as last year. I'll try to record it one of these days if its still on.
On MTV doing Anime: I come from Asia so I think the anime influenced ads are a bit more pronounced here. We've had ads where two kids take out of their pockets PS like controllers to project onto a wall an SF like fighting game. We even have a Virtual Idol "Lily" as a host on one of the segments taking requests. IIRC, Liquid TV (for the US) showed a Katsushiro Otomo short for one of their segments and the story was about a futuristic racing duel. I heard about Speed Racer being shown on MTV too.

Someone told me that on the Limp Bizkit/eminem tour there was a giant gundam torso. Has anyone seen or heard anything about this? Are there any pics on the web?
On a somewhat related note, did anyone ever see the MTV gundam ad? It was probably on about 6 years ago. I only saw it once but my vcr was loaded and prepped to try and catcch it if it appeared again, but it never did. The gundam fought another MS, I don't remember which(it could have been a zaku but i really can't remember it well at all.) and it had a beam shield that said MTV.
