Branding in Anime

[Belldandy]

I'm sure everyone's seen them. Is it legal for them to do that? A letter may be different but we all know what it is. Well, the main thing here is for people to find them and post them here. Let's see how many we can find. Here's 3 for starters:

A bottle of 'Dack Daniels' from the Ah! My Goddess tv series. (Urd uses it to make Sayoko and her cousin drunk.)

"Lipten" from the Full Metal Panic 2nd raid. (With civilan's ready to attack in a battlefield)

NcDonalds from Hikaru no Go - (they go here quite often)

I know in Inuyasha, Kagome and her friends go to maccas all the time.. I'm not sure if that's really illegal or not, sure the trademark is copyrighted, but its sorta just promoting their business ^^;; Interesting topic! I shall go and hunt...lol

(Didn't Belldandy drink coke?)

[Blox]

Yes it is legal since the respective company can only copyright their excact logo, unless they're willing to pay for any and all possible variations which is near impossible. Beside unless it's for fraud purposes normally it's a good thing if such product placement appears so most plp wouldn't be bothered.

I see...

well, Bell did drink 'cola' in the manga (ie no branding ) I thought I saw a sonic the hedgehog toy in one of the chapters...

[Sakura]

well, in Prince of Tennis, Ryoma's always drinking Ponta. ^^" which, we all know is pretty much Fanta...


also from Prince of Tennis. Just the sign in the background. It's for beer, I think. ^^" Asahi is a very popular beer in Japan, at least from what I saw in Japan. XD


From Yami no Matsuei. I don't know if they have these everywhere, but those cinnimon bun stores.

lastly,

more a gas station than a product..XD But, we get the point. ^^"
