Product Placement

[crazyevilwombat.livejournal.com]

Hey guys,

I was just wondering how everyone feels about the product placement in Code Geass.

Does it bother you that they have made advertising Pizza Hut part of the anime?

Or do you not really notice or care about it?

I would love to hear you opinions~

Series need to be sponsered. It's more fun and interesting than a "This anime is sponsered by he following series:" at the start of every episode.

I agree, it's part of the charm I think~

It also doesn't really make me feel like eating pizza, but I'm not huge on fast foods at the best of times.
Actually, I'm not that huge on food in general.

I guess it will effect some people more than others. And depending on what mood you're in too, like if I'm hungry and I see Pizza Hut my first thought would be: "I could really go for some Pizza Hut right now." Lolol

This is pretty bad, but I don't even notice a lot of the Pizza Hut references. 0.o 'Cause I'm busy reading the subs and trying to take in what the major characters are doing to watch out for the small details.
It's nice to see the small details added in though. Designs on pizza boxes, billboards, plushies. It's obviously had a lot of time put into it. (more time than the storyline has, at any rate.)

It is quite bad, but it's the same for me too! Even though it's so blatantly obvious, we still don't notice it that much. It shows how product placement can be sneaky >:3

Good to know there are othesr like me.
Are you doing a paper or class involving product placement, or are you just curious about this?

Well, it's for my A Level Media Studies coursework that's due in tomorrow 8D

But it is really interesting to know anyway~!
