I love how they made Bayonetta one of the smallest things on the screen in the actual game. It has the wonderful effect of preventing you from really being able to see how she moves; which is kind of ruins it for me.
Strip Bayonetta in These Innovative Japanese Ads

Should do like that one candid camera where they put folks in a room with caveman/woman cutout with real cloth as the loincloths and such. When people pulled it off, there'd be an alarm.
Considering the black at the edges under the fliers, probably just clothing under there, albeit probably scant.
... yeah, I looked that close, so sue me.

This ad reminds me of the Assassins Creed II ad that I saw in Gamepro. There are two pages stuck together and if you tear the pages apart, you decapitate some paper guy's head...
It was freaky, but innovative...

Next, hookers will be doing this, with cardboard cutouts of them, with little slips of paper with a phone number and/or website. The more ya pull, the more ya reveal. If only...
So I guess the moral is, you get more out of taking just one flyer. Though in this case with Bayonetta, I don't know what more that might be.
Addendum:
That reminds me of this 80's movie, I don't even know the name, caught it on HBO one night, where these two rival groups of college kids were sent on a game through their city. One bit had them play through a puttputt course, and the clue specifically stated not to just go to hole 18 for the next clue. The dumb team ignored that rule, and a big sign came up at the hole, stating something to the likes of, "Cutting to the end gets you no prize."WanderFreak said:

That would be totally a candid camera moment. Especially if some kid wanted to see if she was wearing latex underwear.TheDrunkNinja said:
Link? While in recent years Famitsu have been dishing out 40/40s every which way, this does have me intrigued and I do wish to see what more people and publications think of it.pigeon_of_doom said:
Okay, there's got to be a better explanation rather than "sex sells" or "Japan is weird". Thing is, what?
Japanese magazines tend to work on different principles to western ones so it is not always best to put your faith in them but still it is not a bad sign. Perfect scores are still pretty rare from them so either this game is good in their eyes or is doing some thing they feel the industry should be doing (as was the case with FF12 if I remember rightly, been a few years so no chance of finding that link again).Onmi said:
Wither or not the game is worth the score? Who knows, it looks like fun and it is made by the same guy who made the original DMC (and best, though 3 has its moments) and Okami, that is enough to get my interest. Might wait and see if the demo comes to Europe first, as despite having fun with these games I do tend to suck at them too.
I was just taking the OP post's word for it, although some googling reveals the scans that confirm it (all in Japanese of course). It's out early in Japan, and I think Famitsu got the first review so you'll have to wait a while to get a better impression of the critical consensus on the game. I just realised that Famitsu gave FFXII a perfect score, so perhaps it isn't the legendary badge of perfection it once was.ChromeAlchemist said:
I think the Yakuza series balances things out, and there's still hope for some witty disparaging comment on the (surely imaginary) hormone driven demographic this advert seems to exploit.Assassinator said:
