Have there been any anime with actual product placement?


In Steins;Gate, Dr. Pepper is mentioned several times as the "An Intellectual
Drink, For The Chosen Ones".

I've seen a lot of other shows that have stores or products with similar names
to the real-life brand, so that the producers can avoid copyright issues.

Even though the inclusion of Dr.Pepper wasn't asked for by the Dr.Pepper
company, after the release of Steins;Gate the sales in Japan for Dr.Pepper
shot up. [ref](http://kotaku.com/5791129/is-japan-ready-to-stop-ignoring-dr-
pepper).

Have there been any anime where a company has paid for their product to be
included in the show?




Yes. Sometimes it's a sort of "exchange" of product placement - the anime will
show the brand in the show, and the brand will put something about the show on
its products for a certain timeframe.

I'm sure there are more examples but these are just a few.
