** Pizza Hut has a very lucrative deal with ''Anime/CodeGeass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.'' While HumongousMecha and {{Magical Eye}}s battle it out, Pizza Hut signs are in every episode and the cast eat pizza every chance they get. This gets slowly phased out over the course of the series, but one element sticks around up to the very last scene of the series: C.C.'s prized possession is a plush of Cheese-Kun, Pizza Hut's mascot in Japan. The Pizza Hut logos are censored out in the American release because, [[WordOfGod according to a Bandai rep]], Pizza Hut wasn't too hot on the idea of sponsoring a show whose protagonist is a vengeance-minded terrorist. Cheese-Kun remains unedited, presumably because the only Americans who know what it is are Geass fans who watched the show subbed.

* Similarly ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' has had ''entire plots'' revolving around Jump. The series is so weird this gets a pass though.
* [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Jotaro's]] life was saved by copies of ''Jump'', before either of those comics existed.
* The most recent translation, by Viz comics, of ''Anime/ReadOrDie'' had Yomiko using ''Jump'' [[PaperMaster in battle]] ([[DistractedByTheShiny and pausing to read them]]). It was hard to read the katakana, though, so it might have been ''Jump'', or possibly ''Corocoro Comics'', a rival.
* Superheroes have become a major entertainment industry in ''TigerAndBunny'', and the heroes themselves are covered in advertisements for real-life products. There's even a commercial spot for Pepsi NEX featuring Blue Rose which blurs the line between {{Ad Bumper|s}} and ad. On the other hand, several characters are represented by fictional companies. The characters get yelled at fairly frequently by their sponsors for causing collateral damage (which the sponsors pay for) and get criticized for heroics off the air as it means they don't get any advertisement time.

** The series also had a somewhat strange placement of Soproni Kékfrankos, a Hungarian wine (even mentioned in dialog). While the name of the wine is completely correct right down to accent, the name of the producer and Hungary itself is a bit misspelled. Leaving us to wonder if it is a real ProductPlacement or just a particularly careful BlandNameProduct.
** There are very prominent Biglobe logos (the leading Japanese ISP) where people are surfing the web. This wasn't translated in the dub and so flew right over the American's heads.
* ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'' features numerous advertisements for @Nifty, the ISP which originally streamed the episodes online. It also has the occasional Coca Cola logo as well. Like in several other series, Pizza Hut appears here and there (replaced by "[[BrandX Pizza Slice]]" in the English dub).
* The computer through which L communicates in ''Manga/DeathNote'' is a Mac, although the apple logo is never actually visible. Likewise, Light's computer isn't explicitly identified but is recognizable as a Mac G4. Since the series was set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, it's a bit out of date now.

* In ''Manga/{{Eyeshield21}}'', Hiruma is usually seen toting around a laptop. In some places, it is revealed to be a Sony Vaio.
* In an omake for the manga ''Manga/FairyTail'' there is, pretty bizarrely considering this is an entirely Fantasy ConstructedWorld, a blatant part of product placement at the end where Grey hands the two of them a bottle of Coca-Cola. Yeah, it's just weird.

** When the action shifts to [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic]] Earth, the only food available there is Cup Noodles too... but ''they'' have Seafood flavor! This leads to some serious FridgeLogic: are the people on Earth eating 200 year old Cup Noodles? If not, are there Nissin factories still operating on Earth even though everyone's dirt-poor? Since the {{dystopia}}n government on the Moon is trying to uphold the {{Masquerade}} that everyone on Earth is dead, do the Earth and Moon branches of Nissin have any contact with each other? Or is Nissin [[ParanoiaFuel part of the whole conspiracy]] in the first place?

** One of the concept cars has a numberplate that includes the sequence 3923. [[BilingualBonus Said aloud in Japanese, it's San Kyu Ni San (Thank You Nissan)]].
* A couple of the ''LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai'' movies prominently feature Haagen-Dazs strawberry ice cream, even tying it into the character development.
* ''The Disappearance of LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'':
** At one point in the movie, a computer boots up and we get a few good seconds devoted to the startup screen for Windows 95. They even used the Windows 95 startup noise. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEJM9s0Wikc See for yourself.]]
** Not only Windows 95, but the computer's blatantly a ''NEC [=PowerMate=]'' (for the uninitiated, NEC was the creator of the TurboGrafx16, and it's semiconductor business fabricated [=CPUs=] for Sega back in the 32x, Saturn and Dreamcast days). They also made desktop computers and notebooks up until recently, when they decided to discontinue these to focus on the server and supercomputing sector.
* The ChristmasEpisode in volume 3 of ''Manga/KeroroGunsou'' featured Keroro using the "Yahoo!" search engine. The logo was even seen in the panel.
* ''Anime/MacrossFrontier [[TheMovie The False Songstress]]'' has a [=FamilyMart=] branch seen when Alto tries to follow Ranka. [=FamilyMart=] actually promoted the movie in its stores.
* ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha TheMovie 1st'':
** Pizza Hut sponsored it, complete with official art of the cast enjoying some delicious pizza. NanaMizuki, Fate's voice actress, even ordered a delivery just to collect a limited time offer special pizza box... with Fate Testarossa on the cover.
** A scene in has Nanoha, [[ThoseTwoGuys Alyssa, and Suzuka]] playing a generic JRPG, before switching it out for a few rounds of ''WiiSports''. It was Tennis, for those wondering.
* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'':
** When Negi's party was scattered during Magic World arc, one of the few things that [[PlayfulHacker Chisame]] was able to bring with her was a [=CalorieMate=] Block she put in her robe.
** An in-story example: During the Battle of Mahora, (which almost all the students think [[AllPartOfTheShow is just a game]]), [[spoiler:Chao, the arc's BigBad]] pops up on the giant screens to do some EvilGloating. After which she does an ad for the restaurant she manages.
* And Pizza Hut strikes again in the 4th season of ''LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru'', where the logo is often prominently displayed in the background, even in an amusement park.
* In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'', Clotho Buer can be seen playing with his Bandai WonderSwan.
* An episode of ''{{Nichijou}}'' contains a joke where the punchline involves Hakase encouraging Nano to bring along a Snickers bar as a snack in school.
* Yamaha is one of the main sponsors of ''Manga/NodameCantabile''. Consequently, ''every'' piano in that show is a Yamaha and melodicas are referred to as "pianicas".
* ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' not only uses {{Bland Name Product}}s (most of which are seen in the anime), but in the manga we see Kyouya using an Apple computer with the proper OS displayed on the screen. He even has a few recognizable icons such as Skype.
** The live-action version has him using an iPad.
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':
** In the anime, James occasionally has a set of reference cards if Team Rocket happens upon a new Pokémon. When 4Kids still had the dub of the anime, they'd sometimes cut these scenes out because of potential advertisement for the Pokémon TCG. Sometimes they would just remove the borders on the cards to make them look less like the real world TCG cards.
** While on the topic of the 4Kids dub, this kind of editing got really stupid in the Advanced Generation. Most any things which had a picture of a Poké Ball on them were painted out (the ones on Ash's Hoenn Badge case and May's Ribbon cases were [[http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/comparisons/houen/ep003.html turned into red stripes]]). Oddly enough, this only seemed to happen in the US/Kids WB! airings; most international dubs didn't feature that censorship.
** However, there's an even bigger product placement in two Sinnoh episodes--one has Meowth use a Wii Remote, and the other the Nunchuck attachment!
* Sunrise makes the list again. ''Anime/SoraOKakeruShoujo'' had logos of its toy and music companies flying by in the first few episodes, but then comes episode 14. There's a long scene of Nina, Bou and Min eating at a Pizza Hut, with the logo in the dead center of the screen.
* Mai Kujaku (Mai Valentine in the English versions) drinks Pepsi in one episode of ''Anime/YuGiOh''. The reference was taken out in the American version. Starbucks coffee has also appeared. Many cards in ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' also happen to be shameless promotions for {{Konami}} games (Konami owns the rights to ''Yu-Gi-Oh'') such as ''VideoGame/{{Castlevania}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}'' and even ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid''.
