What's the silliest product placement you've seen in anime and manga?
pizza hut
Dr Pepper in SG
>>288225533>major online mahjong client features in a mahjong animeHow is this silly?
>>288225533>4 IchihimesUnironically pisslow adeptfags
>>288225533If you were gonna complain about Mahjong Soul why not talk about how it was featured in a end card of a goddamn futuristic racing anime produced by the Nanoha Vivid guyHow the hell is it silly to have a mahjong client featured in a mahjong anime that was sponsored by the company that owns that very client
>>288225655How is that sillyEveryone eats pizza
>>288225899>futuristic racing animeWhich?
>yes of course im gonna buy a $6000 microscope because nagi has huge tits are you stupid
>>288225533that anime with all the actual sf6 footage
>>288227386Highspeed Etoile
>>288227970Don't know what it is but this reminded me of how Genshiken had actual Guilty Gear footage
>>288228669https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-efbopLrYkfound it
Oh boy do I have one for this thread.
>>288230065And also
>>288230083
>>288225533
this was probably the worst product placement i had seen in anime.
>>288225706>>288225899It's not a feature, the entire episode is them going>Mahjong Soul is so great, you should play itIt was funny at first but then it became annoying. I say this as someone who actually liked PNM and plays MJS
Oreos™ and Chevrolet trucks canonically exist in Dragon Ball
>>288225655it's kino
>>288230461
>>288230428How is mahjong soul? Mahjong is scary, I play against bots on some browser one 3.and understand the basics but I get my ass handed to me by bots.
>>288230461>>288230493Funny as hell that Dragon Ball of all things did product placement rightCompared to everything else in this thread, these just feel like minutia to make the world feel lived in and related to the real worldIt would have been completely different if they stopped to say "Wow! Oreos are so delicious" or "Chevrolets are the best">>288230428Which is what I mean. >>288230377Even more gratuitously.I would not have any problem with product placement if it felt like it was just trying to be something that exists in the world, because sometimes Not!Product or completely bland no-name products take me out of a setting, but trying to sell me on that product through gratuitous effort to make sure I know what product it is and how good it must be is corporate whorey
>>288230528product placement: :|product placement, old: :O
>>288228564>Ichihime>Not any of the girls who already had racing-themed outfits Missed chance>>288230513They're a bit stingy with what decorations you get for free, but it's by far the most active client in the western side of things, and the actual mahjong is 100% free. Don't be discouraged by lossing to bots, mahjong, just like chess, has really skilled bots, ranked in MJS should be easier. If all else fails, just practice efficiency and learn how to read discards>>288230528>Which is what I mean.Sure, but not everyone has seen PNM, so all they have to go off is your screenshot
>>288230493That makes every other automaker exist. not18 is a fan of the new Nissan Z.
>>288225533i think honda had an anime made similar to super cub that pushed their products even harder
>another "thinly veiled" Pon no Michi thread
>>288225533>>288230698Speaking of cars Houkago no Pleiades was a huge Subaru ad from its inception to the endWhich is funny when it's also Gainax's last work, and also one of the best standalone mahou shoujo of all time
>>288227566That's not product placement, Japan doesn't even have Jolibee.
>>288227658Don't forget your hammer!
>>288231735The hammer is my penis.
Not really product placement, but there are lots of silly shot of car in koibumi to 13 sai.
>>288225533>2468899What the fuck are you supposed to do with this?
>>288232240Not a great shape, but it's not irredeemable, just hope you turn 246 into either 234 or 456, and either of the pairs into a triplet, but fold if anyone declares riichi, also>East 3 honba 0>Somehow everyone is still at 25K
>>288232357>draw 7WWYD
>>288232412With the hand as-is? Probably either 1p or 9p, the isolated pin tiles feel like a bigger issue than the weird shape in sou>No bro, you MUST cut something in sou, don't avoid the question2s
best carls jr add iv ever seen the scene makes me want to get a western burger everytime
>>288232240I'm not exactly a great Mahjong player. But since Kokushi is out of the window and 3s is the dora I'm dropping the 1p or 9p turn 1 and hoping to draw into better character or pins tiles.
>>288232511I mean bamboo or character tiles.
>>288225533Pizzabutt maybe? Any time it's done it's pretty dumb. The only series I've ever seen pull it off properly was that subaru magical girl show.
>>288231735I did buy the hammer and carrying case. I got the larger one though. Although I actually go out and do rock stuff.
>>288225533Tiger and Bunny
>>288230493He really loved cars, I wouldn't be surprised if he was on a chevytism tick when he was drawing this chapter.
>>288231892This one feels like the mangaka got that car and really wanted to do a manga with it but his editor said no, jc love story will sell better.
>>288230513Just keep playing against bots. Overtime you will start paying more attention to the details and patterns, get better and better and then you can play against players (who are often dumber than bots).
>>288225533It's not particularly egregious but I found it funny advertising an isekai in another isekai
>>288225533>50 posts>no code geassI'm so disappointed with modern /a/
>>288232792Does this bot not know synonyms?.
>>288232688Half of this anime is a game of spotting your favourite Kirara series in the background.
>>288232817why did you end your sentence with two punctuations?
>>288232792>>288232540
>>288232240it's secretly good because it has acceptance across the entire suit
>>288232792did you somehow skip the very first post in this thread
>>288225533I don't even play mobile games, let alone mahjong, and I know about Mahjong Soul. It's literally a go-to for people who want a multiplayer mahjong game.
>>288225846They're CPUs.
>>288232792Oh mi gosh!!!How dare me (modern /a/) not post well-known-regurgitated-to-death normalfag shit!?!?!?!
>>288227970It's not even the first time something like that happened, funnily enough. The Akiba's Trip anime had an episode centered around a fighting game tournament and they used SF5 footage
>>288230513you'll be ranked and matched with people around your skill level
>>288232792Literally the very first post in the thread you cocksucker
What was it with 2000s anime and Pizza Hut?
>>288234321pizza hut was especially aggressive with its marketing in japan. i remember they swapped menus every 2 months by introducing new pizzas and adding all sorts of shit inside the crust and delivery was FREEnow it's like service and delivery charge and surge pricing on weekends and peakhours
>>288230595>>288232634Ok that soothes my ego a bit but>>288234288>there are possibly people as bad as megrim
>>288225533most bizarre moment in jojothe anime cutting back to it every lightning strike did not make it less weird
>>288225533Not silly, but just to add...Also, this is the product:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Pao
>>288225533>What's the silliest product placement you've seen in anime and manga?Uniqlo Heattech shoutout in Chapter 162 of Yofukashi no Uta manga
>>288235460That was a weird product placement. Still, I would impregnate the gremlin.
>>288225533Maybe not visual, but apparently they talk about actual brands of cigarettes in this anime
>>288230513playing against both is pointless unless you just want to learn the very basicsplay ranked matches and you will improve over time, and actually learn the strategies while doing so, which bots won't provide.
>>288235560*against bots
>>288227658Yes
>>288225533That's the CAT phone with thermal camera right?
>>288231735Nagi's body is literally perfect Divine and heavenly
>>288225655yeah it has to be this, an alt history so extreme that america doesn't exist, the british empire never fell, magic is real and we found some unobtainium that lets us make mechsbut pizza hut still exists, is still a global franchise, and the centuries old witch is a big fan
>>288232240You don't touch it because it's the strongest shape in your hand.You have 1pinzu/circles and then 9p to discard first. (You discard 1p first because if you draw 7 o 8p you might want to consider sanshoku doujun/mixed triple sequence)Depending on what you draw in souzu/bamboo, you'll have to fix your hand accordingly, but it's not currently an issue.But 2468 has>dora (3s) acceptance>akadora acceptance>7s acceptance8899s has>iipeikou chance>can be head (pair)>can be head + ankou (triplet)>can turn into double ankouYou already have 5 main shapes in your hand.46m >456m89m> 789m246s >234/456s468s >456/678s8899s >778899/88899/88999/888999sSo just discard the 1 of circles and wait to see what you draw and how it integrates in your hand and try to complete the main 5 shapes you see are already in your hand and that are easy to complete.Riichi Mahjong is at this stage is just making sure your hand builds fast, possibly with some value. You aren't even accounting for defense, traps or anything, you are just being lucky and progressing naturally, how can you hate it?
>>288234771it happens. try picking up a hobby in your 30s and find yourself surrounded by dumb kids who smoke your ass in it
>>288232080Speaking of Gundam, Gunpla found in the anime Birdie Wing
I'm too retarded to get Mahjong
>>288235882it's a god damn card game. it's not complicated. if you said something like that if somebody offered a round of UNO you would be laughed at.
>>288235896Nobody even knows the rules of uno, so getting laughed at by retards is kinda inconsequential.
>>288235896It has like a hundred rules and hidden mechanics and most games don't tell you the winning hands
>>288225533Street Fighter V in Tonikaku Kawaii
>>288235896It's easy enough to understand the basic structure but it becomes confusing when you start trying how to add han value to your hands so they're actually worth something
>>288235540they also talk about different dating sims and galge in Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Ojisan but they're all bleeped out, I probably only recognized one
>>288236195Can you explain me like i'm 9 y/o how to play this game
does this count?
also this, not that anyone would buy this
>>288236337I'm a beginner myself but I'll tryThinking about them like they're cards there are 5 suits:Numbers>Sōzubamboo looking ones>Manzu The characters with red lines>Pinzu the dotsHonors>Dragon the red and green characters + the blank tile>WindsThe black characters that stand for north, east, south and westYou make sets of three out of these like 1-2-3 pins or 8-8-8 man. You generally need to make four of these sets of three + a matching pair.These hands only count though if they have a yaku, which just means it can't be random shit. The basic one I think is no honors, where you can only use the number tiles but you also can't use 1 or 9, so a hand might look like>2-3-4 5-5-5 6-7-8 2-2-2 3-3so what you want to learn is the basic yaku, i.e. basic hands.
>>288235896>it's not complicatedelegiggle
>>288225533Dr PepperThat shit tastes like absolute ass.
>>288235896
Tenki no ko. The Mcdonalds movie.Awful movie
>>288235200That is a discontinued automobile.
>>288236532what about the turns
>>288237177was this necessary?
>>288237156It goes around counterclockwise but I think if someone calls pon or kan (you can make sets from other peoples tiles, pon means you've taken the tile to complete a triplet and kan means you've taken one to make 4 matching tiles) you can skip over someone's turn
>>288236936oh slightly unrelated but i finally tasted mountain dew for the first time in my life after hearing all about it from cod and memes about NEETs...yum. my god it's delicious. if i discovered it 20 years earlier i would for sure have no teeth left by now
Girls und Panzer in Kochikame. It's not even publicity, the author just likes the series
>>288230461Are you sure those aren't hydrox
>>288237375also Vocaloid
>>288237187what i don't get is why the company that heavily censored their most recent game choose to market it in anime people call degenerate
PLEASE PLAY UNDER NIGHT!!!!
>>288230377>>288230428>>288237004>all these brainlets missing the point of the scenekek
>>288237476Second reply was meant for >>288230528>and how good it must be
Can someone post the DIO 7-UP gif from the OVA
>>288230493That's because Toriyama was an absolute car and bike geek. All his free time was vehicle related when he wasn't playing video games or watching TV.He fucking loved those things, so to him it was probably just a fun thing to add.
>>288237476some context for the burger and how it's related to mahjong?
>>288227566gyatt
>>288230823Pon no Michi is automatically veiled because no one knows what that shit anime is except people that like mahjong.
>>288237748>how it's related to mahjong?A misclick. >>288237541>context for the burgerIt's quite the opposite of a praise for the hamburger itself: the context was so heart-warming, "even" the Big Mac could become the most delicious dinner he had ever had. That's because Big Macs aren't supposed to be that: they're cheap, mass-produced slop which you'd never rank no. 1 in your entire life.
>>288232080It's always funny what random text they grab.
>>288238426The danger zone one in Sailor Moon is better
>>288237476>>288238269the scene has >a clean restaurant>peaceful music>perfect food presentation>and has the cute heroine serving the foodbut no yeah it's definitely trying to tell us that mcdonalds is slopand how it's so slop shinkai never took a sponsorship from mcdonalds againoh wait
>>288227658She made people buy a $3000 guitar.
>>288239571So did Bocchi

HibiMeshi was just one big ad for these dolphin shorts in particular.
>>288239608Her's is even more expensive.
>>288238426
Watch Houkago no Pleiades.
>>288230952Half the examples in this thread aren't product placement. Containing a real product isn't necessarily product placement. Product placement is paid, or otherwise compensated (like in the form of free products).
>>288240126>no brandretard post
>>288240419And Bocchi caused a huge jump in sales and returns of this guitar.
>>288239424>>peaceful music>>and has the cute heroine serving the foodYeah, because it's the first encounter the hero has with the heroine. Her gesture at the lowest point of his life is what made a simple Big Mac the best dinner he had ever had.>clean restaurantThat's just Japan, they don't have "changing customer habits" (pic related).
>>288240657Sorry I forgot you autists don't know what a joke is. This thread is really very serious.

>>288241246I'm sorry you didn't understand it.
How tf has noone mentioned Occult 9
>>288241948That was some weird man, I know they were chilling the newest set but doing it on that show was just weird, wtf Kidani.
>>288241329It didn't have any mahjong

>>288238269>context for the burgerthats the most basic writing ever, your favorite director is not a good writer, I am so sorry.Also, it is still a shitty Mcdonalds ad, burgers are a thing you know
>>288243093>your favorite directorMindbroken.
>>288235514I can’t read the text on that image for ants at all, but they are at a Food Court. Them getting some KFC one time makes sense.
I mean, it's semi-modern day akiba and Cygame was one of the producers for the show, but still. I soifaced when i saw it.
>>288243277>soifacedKill yourself
>>288242950I still don't understand why people find that specific product placement so weird.
>>288240126There have been quite a few shows with girls in those lately. Crazy how sexy they are for something so simple.
>>288225533Sometimes the silliest product placement is the best product placement
>>288235294The first episode of Kuma Miko had the protagonists talk about Uniqlo and Heattech products for several minutes straight
>>288235294This has to be an edit
>>288237412Heavy, probably willful misunderstanding of the reasons for Bridget's former popularity
