Posted on December 18, 2024, by Ken Iikura-Gross
On Wednesday, the official X (formerly Twitter) account of McDonald’s Japan sparked excitement among fans with a cryptic post hinting at a potential collaboration with the iconic anime series Evangelion. The tweet featured an intriguing image accompanied by the word “予告” (yokoku), which translates to “next time,” leaving many to speculate about what this could mean.

While there was no explicit confirmation of a partnership between McDonald’s Japan and the beloved anime franchise in their announcement, the use of specific fonts and text reminiscent of Evangelion’s promotional materials suggests that something is indeed brewing. Notably, copyright information linked to Khara Inc./Project Eva hints at an impending collaboration.
The post quickly garnered significant attention online, amassing over 1,000 replies, nearly 30,000 shares, and close to 90,000 likes within hours. Fans took to social media with humorous takes on what this collaboration might entail. One standout response came from user @HAL91533843 who cleverly adapted Asuka Langley Soryu’s famous line from Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance, transforming it into a playful pun: “Anta burger!”—a twist on “Anta baka!” meaning “You’re an idiot!”

In another follow-up teaser from McDonald’s Japan referencing episode twenty of Evangelion titled “NERV Tanjō” (“The Birth of NERV”), anticipation continues to build among fans eager for more details about this potential crossover.
As it stands now, neither Khara nor any official channels associated with Evangelion have released statements confirming any partnership with McDonald’s Japan. Additionally, there is currently no information available regarding this collaboration on either company’s website or social media platforms.
