The list of actors portraying KFC founder Col. Harland Sanders is long and often dubious (Rob Lowe, Norm Macdonald, Mario Lopez, Reba McEntire, etc.), so Golden Wolf’s super-powered anime take is certainly a welcome departure.
Golden Wolf: “We teamed up with Genshin Impact and KFC Japan to reimagine Colonel Sanders like never before – young, dashing, and soaring through a cyberpunk city. With high-energy 2D cel animation and a soundtrack by Japanese band FLOW, we brought this fast-food legend into a bold new world.”
