Don’t get me wrong! I like McDonald’s as much as the next person. I also like how much better it looks as anime.
In Japan, the service at McDonald’s, and any another fast food restaurant, is generally quite good. The chain recently released a clip to, hopefully, inspire young people to get part-time jobs there.
The poster reads, “Let’s become cool”, or better yet, simply, “Become cool”. [GIF via McDonald’s]
In the clip, which was animated by the Tokyo-based Studio Colorido, a schoolgirl, played by AKB48 member Rin Okabe, gets a gig at the fastfood chain and overcomes her shyness as well as dealing with teens asking for a “free smile”.

But the best part is how the food looks.

Rather, how making the food looks.

Its bothering me that the mustard and the ketchup were put on the burger in the wrong order. also the ketchup dispenser has 2 dispenser setting but they cloned the image of the mustard dispenser to save on animation. Only a former maccas employee could get picky about this but the ingredients order is drilled into your head constantly with pictures and compulsory online tutorials you have to do. I haven’t worked there for years and I still feel like I could make a big mac blindfolded.
I don’t know where you worked but the order and dispensers were like the animation in my branch.
You noticed that too? I too could probably make a tray of Big Mac’s faster than most of the kids they employ there these days… Also while blindfolded.
Don’t know what you’re talking about. Current SOC’s show mustard going on first.
Whenever I think of anime McDonalds I always think of the brilliantly funny series “The Devil is a Part-timer” The hilarious story of Satan losing his powers and getting a job at McRonalds.
And battling an Archangel that runs the cross-the-road competition – Sentucky Fried Chicken. 😀
I’ve never seen any employees that look like Chiho working in a McDonalds though
The amount of fries scooped up would not fill a large fry pack, despite what is shown here.
Today on Cringe of the Week…
Interestingly how most commons here are people brag about been able to make big mac blindfolded or how much fries can you scoop up in one go……
After seeing the countless sneaky ways anime shows have included Maccas over the years without actually naming them, it’s kinda unnatural to see it for real. I keep expecting to see WcDonards on the signs or something.
Everyone in Code Geass eats Pizza Hut.
Mcdonalds-u!
It makes Mcdonalds slightly more likeable at least.

Now, if JAL would do over their flight safety videos as anime they would be more interesting than the dross they have now. With their links to Studio Ghibli I could imagine various Miyazaki characters demonstrating the correct way of putting luggage away in storage, or using a life preserver, or buckling up your seat belt.
