KFC Taps into 'Attack on Titan' Fandom with a Unique Collaboration Promoting the Anime's Final Season
The phenomenon of "Attack on Titan" endures. Creator Hajime Isayama concluded the manga several years ago, and the anime followed suit in the autumn of last year. Levi and the other beloved characters remain in the fandom's hearts despite the primary series's conclusion. The franchise is still flourishing, and Kentucky Fried Chicken has capitalized on its popularity to form a distinctive partnership.
You read that correctly—KFC and "Attack on Titan" are joining forces. In China, KFC unveiled a unique poster announcing the collaboration; fans must see it to believe it.
The partnership promotes the anime’s final season overseas, and the poster perfectly encapsulates the unexpected collaboration. Characters like Mikasa and Eren are depicted holding a fried chicken, while an army of Titans from The Rumbling, dressed as businessmen, are seen hunting for food.
The teaser reads, "Krunch. Chill out and attack on!"
KFC aims to attract "Attack on Titan" fans to grab a bucket of chicken before diving into the anime's finale. According to ComicBook, this collaboration comes at an ideal time, as recent reports from Japan announced "Attack on Titan: The Last Attack," a compilation film combining the anime's two-part finale. MAPPA Studios plans to release the movie in Japan soon, with fans anticipating a global release.
