Wholesome Japanese McDonald\u2019s ads return with another \u201cadorable\u201d animation McDonald’s JapanThe marketing team for McDonald\u2019s Japan knows they\u2019ve got a recipe for success. Their second wholesome animated ad has struck engagement gold. McDonald\u2019s has an unusual propensity for going viral. It can be for weird food trends like the Grimmace Shake or because someone has the audacity to take someone on a first date there. Last month, the internet got a taste of how McDonald\u2019s Japan does things when an animated advert exploded in popularity. The \u201cwholesome\u201d animation had millions of views and even inspired fan art (among other things\u2026). Now McDonald\u2019s Japan has done it again with another adorable animation that, like the first, has taken the internet by storm. Posted to their Twitter account, it has audiences all over the world swooning. While McDonald\u2019s Japan\u2019s last animated ad focused on a family sharing a meal, this one shows an awkward but cute young couple. The will they, won\u2019t they romance of it all has touched the hearts of some internet denizens, and brought out the cynicism in others. One user in the comments claimed that \u201cMcDonald\u2019s Japan is winning hearts and souls with this\u201d, while others longed nostalgically for \u201cthe simple days of high school romance\u201d. The warm feelings experienced by a majority of the audience were not unanimous however with some Americans feeling as if they were missing out. \u201cSo the Japanese get adorable\/wholesome ads and Chicken Selects, but the US doesn\u2019t?\u201d asked one incredulously. This most recent animation also sparked a rather one-sided debate about which of the two was better. The latest one seems to be the crowd favourite but we\u2019ll let you decide for yourself. One user suggested that \u201call McDonald\u2019s should do their ads similar to this one\u201d so we may see a trend arise. We\u2019ll be sure to let you know if any other global branches of McDonald\u2019s decide to adopt anime in their Marketing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
