McDonald’s Japan started airing new anime style, lofi ads on social media drawn by Urachan. So far, two ads appeared. The first features a family eating chicken nuggets and fries together in their kitchen. In the second, a group of young adults who appear to be in high school are eating food from the restaurant together outside. Both are specifically designed to showcase a promotion involving a nuggets and fries meal.
Here’s the first Urachan ad showing off the family together.

People may recognize Urachan from fan art online. The artist, who also goes by Uraura Ura, has drawn anime and video game characters before. For example, one of the most recent pieces of fan art is this Pokemon-inspired comic that features Gardevoir, Infernape, Staravia, Pachirisu, Floatzel, and Weavile.

As for other McDonald’s anime related events, they often come up. For example, it held a One Piece promotion back in April 2023. There were also Spy x Family Happy Meals in August 2023.
It is currently unknown if there will be more Urachan McDonald’s Japan ads with the same anime, lofi style.
