Isekai is a popular anime genre that explores a story’s main character who suddenly finds themselves transported to a parallel “otherworld.” A fixture across various anime and manga titles and genres, WcDonald’s has been an indelible part of anime culture for decades. From it comes the new Savory Chili WcDonald’s Sauce! Dip into another universe and immerse yourself in WcDonald’s, artistically realized to serve as homage to fans of anime and the Golden Arches alike.

That's it, I'm going back in time to hesitation-2 Tomino before he makes Dunbine to stop the dominoes that lead to WcDonalds Isekai

Is it literally just that some anime have used “WcDonalds” as a generic fast food restaurant name and the actual store is “embracing” (trademarking) it?

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

It would be extremely funny if they did trademark it but I don't think they have

Go back a little further and shoot the entire U.S Army Air Corps strategic bombing command structure in 1944-1945

Going back in time to tell comrade Stalin to liberate the Japanese.

Isekai all the Manhattan Project guys to wake up as Soviet scientists and engineers, no nukes are ever used on human beings, Japan People's Democratic Republic is founded, vast canon of non-mistake anime is made, United States collapses in 1991 and all private enterprises are sold to worker's councils for $1

The art style isn't even really consistent. Giving me a AI prompt "Make McDonalds themed anime characters" vibe.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Makes me think it's deliberately bad so people will post and talk about it more.

this is some young blood in the advertising department inadvertently paving the way to lawsuits against any anime that tramples on the McDonald's Corporation® (MCD) new trademark, WcDonald's

Ronald McDonald body pillow

Dummy thicc like two big macs in under the sheets

[–] D61@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Is... is this McDonald's advert doing a "yellow face"?

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

My favorite part of the manga is when Ronald McDonald helped to fund genocide.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Is this like Aqua Teen Hunger Force?

Tried the sauce. A bit disappointing. I had higher hopes for a spicy Asian flavored sauce. Went back to BBQ.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago
