Kotono Mitsuishi Tries Voice Acting Challenge

Evangelion Meets McDonald’s: A Burger Saga

When iconic voices and fast food collide, the internet takes notice. Kotono Mitsuishi, the celebrated voice actor behind Misato Katsuragi in the Evangelion series, recently turned to social media to share an intriguing review. January 16 marked the day Mitsuishi unveiled her take on the McDonald’s and Evangelion collaboration Cheese Double Teriyaki burger. In her character’s voice, she playfully mused, “Huh? You missed Mac’s Eva!? Give up! Oh, it’s this one! By the way, I also missed it munch…”

McDonald’s Embraces the Anime World

McDonald’s Japan dropped a bombshell on December 19, unveiling a partnership with Evangelion. Initial announcements teased fans with transformable Evangelion toys and a slew of captivating commercials. Just a week later, the fast-food giant revealed three specially crafted burgers, stirring excitement among fans. These culinary creations hit stores on January 13, paving the way for a unique dining experience.

Fans marveled at Mitsuishi’s light-hearted share, as she humorously noted the messiness of the meal. While she indulged, her Evangelion co-star, Megumi Ogata, remained silent. Yet, Ogata later echoed the excitement, urging fans not to “miss out” in her own elliptical post on December 26. She reminisced about Shinji’s infamous phrase, “Don’t run away,” now repurposed for burger cravings.

Teasers aside, McDonald’s introduced the world to their captivating Evangelion collaboration products. The burgers, which went on sale starting January 13, quickly became a buzz in the fast-food realm. These quintessentially Japanese burgers sparked curiosity and advertising genius, blending beloved anime themes with a beloved global franchise.

Fans around the world queued up, eager to sample the quirky menu and catch these limited-edition offerings before they vanished. McDonald’s triumphed by ingeniously combining the allure of anime with the universal love of burgers, making this collaboration one for the history books.
