The year 2021 is proving to be a great year for unique collaborations, not just in fashion but also in men's beauty and care products. In a surprising and bold move, men's care line, Shiseido uno, had just enlisted the help of well-loved anime TV series Attack on Titan for their latest skincare campaign.

The brand, Shiseido uno, was launched in 1992 and specializes in hairstyling, body care, and skincare products.

They recently released 60, 30, 20 ,and 15-second commercials which feature characters of Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan talking about their skin issues such as skin tightness and dryness.

The Attack on Titan characters who appeared in the ads were Eren Yeager, Reiner Braun, Levi Ackerman, and even the Titans.

The repurposed scenes of the anime series were animated by MAPPA.

The ad, of course, introduces Shiseido uno's All-in-One series as the solution to the characters' skin problems.

The All-in-One series include the UV Perfection Gel, Cream Perfection and Vital Cream Perfection products.

Fans of Attack on Titan are eagerly awaiting the second part of its final season, which is due for release in winter 2022.

The first part of the final season (Season 4), which had 16 episodes, already aired until March 29 of this year.

The second part of its final season has changed studios due to scheduling issues

It has now been taken over by MAPPA, the same studio who animated the collaboration ads of Shiseido uno and Attack on Titan.

Attack on Titan isn't the only anime who had an interesting collaboration this year. In January, Italian luxury brand Gucci unveiled its capsule collection featuring the world-famous anime character, Doraemon.

The collection is Gucci's Chinese New Year offering and includes 50 items with the image of the beloved anime character in it.
