I’ve noticed that some shows subtly incorporate brands or products into their scenes, and I’m curious if this has ever influenced your purchasing decisions or brand preferences.

Can't say it has. I never care about this stuff, not just in anime but all media.

@Guilmon1 hit it dead center. Of course I wanted a Galaxy Convoy for birthday (but alas no buy because too expensive).
What I don't get it is why do people splurge cash on waifu figurines, like Gelbooru is free.

@TheMechaManiac figurins are boring, except model kits. I don't get the want for a figurinr

Unless you count shows that are tie ins to other products such as Pokémon being a tie in for the video games, Beyblade being a tie in for the toys, or Yu-Gi-Oh from GX onwards being made to promote the card game, then not really.

I don't think they all are actual product placements, more just trying to make things seem more real. It only really is a product placement if they get paid for doing so or get some other benefit.

THIS is how they sell products. They do commercials sometimes with existing franchises but also sometimes original animations



Anime advertisements go hard. Just look up アニメCM to find them.

Id like to see a series with an art style like this. Though less on the line flicker. It's an ad for horse racing lol

If things like Dakimakura & Anime figures count? then yes.
I think watching Oreimo was the main cause of that.

Same here as most of the time I don't really notice it or pay much attention to it.

Though it wasn't exactly "product placement", I learned to read tarot and bought three decks after having watched Vision of Escaflowne, many years ago.

Well it could work on me- but no matter how hard I look I can't seem to find Pippu soda or a WCDonald's anywhere

Very disappointed.

Dr Pepper has made it's way into a few anime over the years, Otaku Teacher, Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, and of course Steins Gate.

Not brand names per se, but seeing Japan-style curry in a lot of animes made me want to try it for myself.

It's the reverse: if the parent company adopts the off-brand shown in the anime.

When people see familiar brands in their favorite anime, it can increase their awareness and familiarity with those brands. This is particularly effective when the product placement feels natural and is integrated seamlessly into the storyline.
If people have a positive emotional connection with the characters or the anime itself, they transfer those positive feelings to the brands featured. This lead to a more favorable perception of the brand and potentially influence purchasing decisions.

Product placement add a sense of realism to the anime, making the world feel more authentic. This enhance the viewer’s immersion and make the brand feel like a natural part of their everyday life.

For example, the anime “Steins;Gate” prominently featured Dr. Pepper, or heaven's memo pad prominently featured Coke which helped the products gain traction in Japan. The association with the popular series created a unique appeal for the beverage among anime fans.
Studies have shown that product placement in anime significantly affect audience perceptions and purchasing intentions. Viewers who have a positive attitude towards the characters and the anime are more likely to be influenced by the product placements..

All These factors highlight how strategic product placement in anime effectively influence consumer behavior and brand preferences.

I kind of considered gunpla while watching Gundam Build Fighters...but naaah.

I already hated Pizza Hut before CC made me hate it even more.

Quite liked the first season of Tiger&Bunny, but despite the massive Pepsi propaganda it could never hinder my love for Coca Cola.
