If you\u2019re not in the loop with McDonalds\u2019 new ad campaign which has their famous \u2018M,\u2019 turned on its head, then fear not, as we\u2019ve got the lowdown. It first began in 1981 manga and anime franchise Cat\u2019s Eye, where we saw a surprisingly familiar fast food store in the show, suitably named \u2018WcDoanld\u2019s. Since, the fictional WcDonald\u2019s has made an appearance in a series of popular anime shows throughout the years, including Bubble Bobble, City Hunter, Moldiver, and Otaku Elf, to name just a few. In these cartoons, the WcDonald\u2019s restaurants share many similarities with their originator, including sporting a clown mascot, and serving fast food items such as cheeseburgers, fish burgers, fries, and even a Big \u2018Wac.\u2019 In February, McDonald\u2019s announced an exciting collaboration with Studio Pierrot, and Acky Bright, a famous Japanese manga artist, to tease a brand new ad campaign, where they finally make WcDonald\u2019s canon. What will the new WcDonald\u2019s ad campaign look like? As a part of the new campaign, fans can expect a bunch of exciting limited edition items, all featured in WcDonald\u2019s packaging. Commenting on the new release, McDonald\u2019s stated: \u201cAnime is a huge part of today\u2019s culture, and we love that our fans have been inviting us into the conversation for years\u2026 The WcDonald\u2019s universe is a reflection of what fans have created. It honors their vision and celebrates their creativity, while authentically bringing it to life in our restaurants for the first time ever.\u201d The new release includes a new sauce, affectionately the Savory Chili WcDonald\u2019s Sauce, which pairs perfectly with a 10-piece WcNuggets meal. There will also be limited edition manga packaging designed by Acky Bright, featuring WcDonald\u2019s Crew characters. Every Monday, from February 26 until March 18, a new short will drop in tandem with new manga on WcDonalds.com If you want more info on the release, we\u2019ve got all the info on the new \u2018WcDonald\u2019s\u2019 teaser trailer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is \u2018WcDonald\u2019s\u2019?
