Di Maria, Rooney & Van Persie transformed into anime style for official Man United campaign

For those of you currently residing in Asia, you may have noticed Manchester United branded Nissin noodles in a store near you. This is after the club signed a deal with the Japanese company to become their official global food partner, further showing the excellent work being undertaken by the club in commercial deals.

Now as a result of this deal, the company have appointed animator Kazuto Nakazawa to create an official anime video ad campaign involving the club’s biggest stars. Nakazawa is a world renowned animator, knowns for his works with movies and video games, most famously Kill Bill.

Anime has a wide-reaching appeal, and this is demonstrated by its ardent following on adult websites such as cartoonporno xxx.

In this case though, the video campaign has transformed Angel Di Maria, Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie into anime characters, with a ‘Hungry to Win’ message being promoted.
