Which Anime Boy Are You Dating? McDonald’s Japan Goes Otome!
McDonald’s Japan has done it again! To celebrate the launch of their new limited-time Chicken Burger lineup, the fast-food giant posted a promotional image on X (formerly Twitter) styled like a classic Otome dating sim. The ad features three delicious chicken burgers reimagined as “three brothers” competing for the customer’s heart with cheesy, romantic lines.
The post reads, “Romance with three brothers—who will you start with?” each burger offering a totally different archetype:
- The Oldest Brother (The Perfect Prince): “I have the confidence to make you juicier than anyone else.”
- The Middle Brother (The Wild/Dominant Type): “You just keep your eyes on my crispy coating.”
- The Youngest Brother (The Cute/Flirty Type): “Oh, are you blushing? I want to see that face even more.”
Anime Fans Are Imagining TRIGGER, Blue Lock, and FMA Characters!
It didn’t take long for Japanese anime fans to realize these cheesy lines sound like they were pulled straight out of their favorite anime series. Social media quickly exploded with fans matching the burger “brothers” to famous anime trios.
The most popular match among fans was the idol group TRIGGER from IDOLiSH7:
- Ten Kujo as the perfectionist oldest brother.
- Gaku Yaotome as the cool, dominant middle brother.
- Ryunosuke Tsunashi as the charming youngest brother.
Other fans quickly pointed out how perfectly the dialogue fits characters from Blue Lock (Reo Mikage, Rin Itoshi, and Nagi Seishiro) as well as Fullmetal Alchemist (Roy Mustang, Edward Elric, and Alphonse Elric). Even Uma Musume: Pretty Derby fans joined the fun, matching the personalities to their favorite horse girls!
“I’ll Date All Three!”
Reactions online have been overwhelmingly enthusiastic, with comments like “I can hear their voices in my head so easily!” and “Looks like I’m going to have to date all three at the same time.”
Whether you’re craving a juicy burger or just looking for your next fictional crush, McDonald’s Japan certainly knows how to capture the hearts (and stomachs) of the anime community!
