Japan simply does not have that sort of anti-commercialism. In fact, the first thing every single newly minted celebrity do is a commercial, which is a hallmark of success. People aren't against commercial if you're up front about it. In fact, many people in Japan likes commercials MORE than actual TV shows, and the CM have its own fanbase. For example, the Shiseido Tsubaki campaign has been hugely successful, it's CM being filmed by noted filmmakers, and the girls in them becomes models for young women. I personally watches Japanese CMs more than the show sometimes, since some of them are really well made. I seriously doubt many J-otaku would have similar kind of distaste with regulard to all the KyoAni/Kadokawa references.

Here's some eye candy Tsubaki CMs for fun... some of my favorite CMs ever. All of the women in it are celebrities, and they all feel privileged to be in a Tsubaki CM.
