Winter 2020 Anime: Official Info, Airdates & Trailers
Keep warm this winter season with the latest anime info at MANGA.TOKYO!
A collaboration video between the TV anime Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) and Nissin Foods’ Cup Noodle has been released. The Survey Corps’ Eren, Mikasa, Levi, and others are armed with kettles and forks in order to defeat Cup Noodle Titans called ‘Mystery Meat’ (‘Nazoniku’ in Japanese).
The video takes place in an alternate version of Attack on Titan, which is dominated by the Mystery Meat. The word ‘Nazoniku’ first spread online to describe the diced freeze-dried meat contained in Nissin Foods’ Cup Noodle brand of instant noodles. Nissin itself has started using the word in a humorous way. In the promotion, the worlds of Attack on Titan and Cup Noodle have been ‘forcibly’ fused. In order to destroy the Titans, the 3D Manoeuvre Gear now consists of kettles and giant forks. However, this time they are not attacking usual Mystery Meat, but ‘Chin-shu Nazoniku’ (lit. Rare Species Mystery Meat) in place of the Abnormal Titans from the series we know.
The anime’s cast has recorded original phrases for this collaboration. For example, Erwin’s famous ‘Shinzou wo sasageyo!’ (lit. Devote your Heart!) has been changed to ‘Nettou wo sosogeyou!’ (lit. Pour boiling water!). It is worth seeing how the Survey Corps armed with kettles and forks is out to reveal the mystery meat’s identity. The characters can’t hide their surprise! Nissin has created this video in commemoration of the Cup Noodle’s newest release the ‘Chin-shu Nazoniku’ type, which is labeled as smokey chili soy sauce flavor.
As the anime’s newest season will start to air from late July 2018, the production team is very busy. Therefore, forks and kettles are just replacing the usual weapons of the Survey Corps’ members to avoid new drawings
The special website has released various parody videos created from scenes from the TV anime Attack on Titan. Check out how the scenes from the anime have been changed by the star-studded original cast.

Eren: I will get rid of all Mystery Meat…
