Welcome To WCDonald’s

[superfangirl1]

"Welcome to WcDonald's, may I take your order?"

That's what you'll likely hear at your local McDonald's restuarant, starting Monday.

Beginning Feb. 26, participating McDonald's locations around the world will transform into "WcDonald's," a fictional McDonald's spinoff seen in dozens of iconic anime movies and TV shows.

Japanese magna artist/illustrator Acky Bright, to create and design custom WcDonald's packaging on menu items. For a limited time, customers will receive manga-inspired packaging featuring WcDonald’s Crew characters, sketched by Acky himself, the release said.

McDonald’s has also partnered with animation house Studio Pierrot to produce the first official WcDonald’s anime — four episodic shorts about WcDonald’s Sauce and WcNuggets.

“Anime is a huge part of today's culture, and we love that our fans have been inviting us into the conversation for years," McDonald's USA Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer Tariq Hassan, said in the release. "The WcDonald's 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."


The temporary transformation will take place at participating locations across 30 markets, officials said. It will last through March 18.

For those not familiar with anime, a WcDonald's takeover may come as a surprise. For others, it's an epic throwback.

As someone with Celiac Disease, I now want to make my own WcDonald's Happy Meal out of spite. Except I'm already making stir-fry and I'm not motivated enough to make two things. And I have ribs in my freezer. I guess I could make a ribwich, but where would I get the requisite centipedes...
