Itasha Show

Nihon Car has been heavily covering Tokyo Auto Salon where you can see the latest and greatest cars. But I personally prefer the Itasha car show held at the last comiket.
All these itasha can be found parked in the lot between Kokusai Tenjijo station and Big Sight.
Was the first time I got to see the cars first hand and am envious of the owners because my wife does not want our car plastered with stickers of Mirai-chan ^^;
I did do some research into the stickers and it costs 14,000 yen for a 500mm x 500mm weather proof sticker sheet - available for order from Palec.

This is my fave car with Pink Chu Chu girls - from the eroge Miraroma. Yum.
The next time you can see these itasha on show is at the next summer comiket. If you had to choose between going to Auto Salon and this itasha show, which would you choose?

Yeah I like that on cars. But could not get away of putting Belldandy, Urd and Peroth on my truck here in New Mexico.

Yeah, as nice as that is...you can only get away with that in japan.

Love the Fate Testarossa car. If I ever do get a car I'll definitely get it plastered with some pictures. Somehow this post reminded me of one of the buses I saw at the recent Winter Comiket where there was a sign in the front saying "NICE BUS".

Yeah, that Nanoha Itasha is defnitely a winner. Seems it's the same one from the Itasha post. But I really liked the mix between anime characters and graphite/grey paint. I'd love to do something like that to my car... if only I cared much for my car. I'm not very passionate about cars... for me it isn't a lot more than just a mean to get from point a to b faster than on foot, and more conveniently than taking a bus...
(ID #69949) Posted on 2008/01/17 05:49
The Nanoha and Fate cares never cease to amaze me. :D Unfortunately, if I drove a car like it's inevitable that someone would key it. =__=
(ID #69950) Posted on 2008/01/17 05:56
I wouldn't drive those... I'd get distracted and crash the damn car -_-; Question: they let you go inside? I notice one of the pics was taken from the inside.

I loved the Fate Testarosa one. Perfect color car for the sticker. I even found myself looking at one of the other Nanoha ones going "I have that figure" as I looked at the dashboard ^_^ I probably would not get a sticker like that for my car mainly because we have some harsh winters and I'd fear for it's safety

(ID #69953) Posted on 2008/01/17 06:13
I'd maybe do something like that to my car if it wasn't a piece of crap. When I get a new car when ever that is...I would consider doing something like that but with Reiko Holinger, Catharine Blitzen that's it lol
(ID #69954) Posted on 2008/01/17 06:20
Itasha's are awesome, I really like that Fate T. one. Coincidentally, I'm going to the Detroit Auto Show this weekend. Too bad they won't have any Itashas there D:

Of course the Itasha show, hands down. I notice that all the cars with Nanoha take up almost 70% of the number of photos shown. Is Nanoha that famous? Not that I'm complaning-they're oozing Awesomeness ^_^

Lol, pantsu on your car. More likely than you think. 'Cept that's something I'd avoid. However, those are pretty slick rides, though. Loli much? Otakuism at its most embarrassing peak? This feels like idolm@ster on ace combat planes all over again. Heck, I want decals like that on my car too. A note for the dashboard pics... wouldn't those fade sitting in the car like that?

i like the Itasha collection last Comiket and some Itasha here also made an appearance last Comiket lolz those are some lovely Itashas =3
(ID #69968) Posted on 2008/01/17 08:13
I particularly like the one with the SD Hayate and Rein, or the one with the Nanoha/Lucky Star combination. I'm surprised, though, at the amount of Nanoha cars. I was hoping for one based on a Key game, but seems that there's none. Meh.

While some of them looked good a lot more looked like a mishmash of ideas and stickers and didn't look good at all. Of course I'm more interested in the cars than the images in the first place so I wouldn't do that to my own car. It would be cool maybe on a race car as a sponsership deal amd was made up to look really good. That would be interesting to see a JGTC car made up with anime/manga images.

Wowowow! Miraroma, Lyrical Lyric, Fortune Arterial and Tsukushite Ageru No Ni itashas! I'm jealous. ;__; If I ever get a Lancer Evo 8, I'm totally making it into a Seinarukana itasha! How I wish. ;__;
(ID #69974) Posted on 2008/01/17 10:18
I like the aggressive tuner look + Itasha combo. The S15s look like some serious business. Good distraction while at the lights.
(ID #69975) Posted on 2008/01/17 10:53
wow, a lot of nice Itasha. Really wish i can visit the itasha show. I like the Iliya&saber, Nanoha, Fate(especially the seat cover) and many of them. It really nice. BTW, the weather proof stickers is so expensive >.

Ouh, some of these cars are really well designed! Though the cars themself arent my thing (i prefer mini cooper s), i surely would love to have a cooper designed with a bunch of nice or cute anime chars, nothing H though. ;D

Funny that you should post about Itasha... I've been playing Forza 2 on my 360 for the past few days, trying to get enough credits to buy some lovely itasha on the auction house, missed out on the cars with Misuzu from AIR vinyls ;_;
(ID #69990) Posted on 2008/01/17 17:03
Some hits but moar misses. If you wanna have an itasha, at least have abit of sensibility by having the stickers/decals pasted tastefully. Random sticker/decal pasting on a car is going to 1) Look ugly (no need to explain) and 2) Spoils the aesthetic of the original car's design (imagine the horrors of designers seeing their work of art being well, sticker-ed) But of course declaring your love for all things anime is another issue... ^^;

i thought i shouldnt make a driver license, i thinks this change my mind quickly ^^ but it surprised me that they have some sticker of new eroges like fortune arterial already.

I'd prefer a simple artwork on the doors or the hood. For some reason I don't like those cars, they're too colourful for me, but thats just my opinion ^^

Itasha, still not my thing. It hurts seeing some of those cars like that.

Holy friggin crap! Itasha Show? I never heard of this until today and i had a feeling cars like this existed somewhere in the world. I love Tuned cars. RX-7's, Skyline's, Supra's, Celica's, MR-2's, etc, etc, etc. But that Mercedez i saw in the Itasha Show has got to go. I'm not a fan of German automobile's. Any Japanese automobile's are fine with me. I think you have to be a hardcore otaku and a tuned car fan to have one of these. I'd love to have one of these cars myself someday. At the moment i want a 1994 Nissan Skyline or a 98/2003 Nissan Skyline, M-Spec or V-Spec RIGHT HAND drive. Since no one here in Los Anegeles has one. Thanks for these wonderful pictures Dannychoo. This sure is eyecandy for me. Now i feel like playing Wangan Midnight R.

This kind of reminds me of the airbrushing artwork on lowriders. Vato up!
(ID #70008) Posted on 2008/01/18 02:10
WOW, some of those look great (and some others are just "a little bit" over the top). I would probably only be able to get awaywith something less flashy. Does anybody here knows where (or how) I could get something like these fueltank-door's decals here in the USA? http://www.pinktentacle.com/2007/08/otaku-style-fuel-tank-doors/

Hello, first time writing here, can't believe I did not know about this place until today >_< I just came back from a trip to Japan and I also went to Comike. I usually go for doujinshi so while I get to see those Itasha cars but I did not know they actually have Itasha show. Those cars do look cool and I've seen some in Akihabara as well.
(ID #70011) Posted on 2008/01/18 03:51
Danny, you forgot the mirai mark for picture #17778... Quite nice. Well I think it fits well japanese cars (Honda, Subaru, Nissan etc...) but it is really odd on the Mercedes. Anyway, I cannot imagine seeing that anywhere else than in Japan !

Hard decision, but as a real car enthusiast I would most likely go for the Auto Salon. ^^" From all the photos I liked the grey Fate Testarossa Nissan 240SX most, the few big vinyls of Fate on the outside give a good balance, but the inside is still too messy for my liking. BTW, what kind of car is that on picture 17792? It looks like a midget version of the Mazda MX-5. =P

Oh my god. Nice!!! I once rendered an image of Aoi-chan with this sort of modification done on her. The result was sort of nice, but i couldn't get a quote from any local sticker shop. Darn. Anyone from Malaysia know where to go to get this done, drop me a mail. For the mean while, i'll just enjoy these pics and the current double stripe design done on Aoi-chan~~~

Ok need to somehow combine the nanoha cars with fate cars and add in Rin and Miku. I know what I am going to do with my car once I go to Japan. I won't feel embarassed driving it either. In the USA it would get vandalized or destroyed fast but in Japan it would be a lot safer.
