I would definitely watch it (at least initially give it a shot) since I watched every episode of and fully enjoyed The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald cartoon series from the late 90s (actually closer to when it first came out, but I've rewatched some of it periodically since).

Anyone interested in this should check that short series out, even if it feels at first like it will just be one giant extended commercial.

Now I just require a Wendy Thomas hentai.

That looks godawful. It's like they tried to design every character with a different, yet somewhat recognizable artstyle. It's like they're trying to rip off as many anime styles in hopes that people will watch it "cuz that character reminds me of the anime XYZ".

Also, since it's officially sponsored by McDonalds, why is it called "WcDonalds"?

I imagine this will make the rounds across the internet for about a week for its inherent cheap brand novelty, only to be promptly forgotten once said novelty wears off. Given its presumed lack of ambition for anything other than referencing itself (or other brands and media), and the differing artstyles for every second character; it's probably going to appeal to people who would usually watch western adult sitcoms. Hopefully they enjoy it, but I'm expecting this to be exactly what you'd assume it would be from a glance.

@BigBoyAdvance I think they're in shorts with each episode going to be a different style. I don't see the problem with that

we already have anime shorts of McDonald, such as
未来のワタシ from Studio コロリド (Colorido)
or, My future self.



and of course, we also had anime commercials such as

and


so a short anime for McDonald is not something new, really.

This is going to be so dumb, yet it'll somehow be better than 2/3s of the other anime released alongside it.

This feels like some sneaky attempt to copyright WcDonalds and prevent anime and manga from making fun of their food.

So they're releasing not an actual full fledged anime series, but merely "four episodic shorts"....

Okay. I've seen worse.

Nah fam, we need more Lupin III McDonald's commercials, not this.



Gimme a 3-4 episode (Full length episodes) short series that somehow solely revolves around the Lupin gang and McDonald's, and I'll watch that shit instantly. Seeing everybody break character to shill McDonald's was unusually funny the first time, so it'd probably be just as good the second time. Jigen ordering with a smartphone, Goemon eating something other than traditional Japanese food, I need more of it.

Why are the designs for the characters so inconsistent?

@Pitto_ It used to be, but then it got removed. Not familiar enough with the reasoning given on the MAL anime database rules to know why though.

I saw a few episodes of the shorts, and they weren't really anything crazy, but I did realize something: the W in WcDonald's is like the W in Wumbo, Wario, and Weeb lol

Their limited edition paper bags were surprisingly quite nice too.

They can't do that!!! Wcdonald already existed (in Stein's Gate if I rmember correctly, otherwise it's another one, but I KNOW someone had already made Wcdo xD).
Aside from that, the characters look cool.

@Dante012 WcDonald's was also in the 2008 OVA It's a Rumic World: 50th Anniversary Weekly★Shonen Sunday...



Though yeah, there's probably something that could've shown up even earlier than that example too.

Aint no way, this shit is going to be immaculate. Cant wait.
I am a COMPLETIONIST. Aiming to finish AS MANY ANIME as possible before DEATH, Despite them being SATISFACTORY or if they are BORING.

I WATCH THE LOWEST SCORED/RATED/RANKED ANIMES ON MAL (OR you can CALL THEM The WORST animes in the WORLD - No Joke Like Seriously)

No anime has actually satisfied my anime taste, That I can call a MasterPiece (10/10), still searching... hopefully one day I will find that show and obsess over it till I die.
RULE NO.4 I MUST WATCH ALL CONTENT FOR THE SERIES I HAVE FINISHED, NOW THIS ONE IS QUITE EXHILARATING.
