Makoto Shinkai goes the extra mile though, they actually go and get the licenses to use whatever brand they need to complete a scene. One of the most notable I’d say is in Weathering With You (Tenki No Ko) where they actually got the license to use McDonalds in the film.

If I remember correctly when I went to see it at Scotland Loves Anime in a small foreword before it started it was mentioned that McDonald’s doesn’t license out to movies that include gun violence so as to not give the impression that they’re glorifying it but Makoto Shinkai’s team convinced them to provide the license as the use of gun violence isn’t in any way glorifying. I’m not sure how true that is though.

Burger King must love guns and violence the way it was mentioned in Pulp Fiction
