WcDonald’s Episode 2 Anime Short from Studio Pierrot Features City Pop Love

The second episode of the WcDonald’s anime shorts has been released today, continuing the series from Studio Pierrot (Naruto, Black Clover). Titled “Love From Across The Booth,” the episode features aesthetics similar to Sailor Moon and the City Pop music genre. Four anime shorts will be released over four weeks, with a simultaneous manga chapter available on WcDonalds.com. Each episode will focus on a different genre, including Action, Romance, Mecha, and Fantasy. The next Mecha short is set to release on March 11th. You can watch the first episode of the Action genre here.

In addition to the anime campaign, a themed restaurant experience inspired by the Isekai genre will launch in Los Angeles from March 9-10th. Artist Acky Bright has also designed custom bags for the promotion, and an exclusive Savory Chili WcDonald’s Sauce will be available for a limited time.

The WcDonald’s meme has been a popular reference in anime and manga since the 1980s, appearing in series such as Cat’s Eye, City Hunter, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, and many others. The meme has also been featured in other anime series, including The Devil is a Part-Timer!
