Already linked it through the Member News, but who cares ^^" I had to laugh soo hard the first time I went throught the pics, his comments make it even better :D
(ID #191008) Posted on 2008/05/19 09:04
Gah, sorry! Looks like you posted it when I was on the plane - missed it completely ToT.
(ID #191017) Posted on 2008/05/19 09:14
Yeah, the comments were fun too. I hardly read his blog but this one post was hilarious. :) I sure hope no one is tempted to do figure bukkake in public just to be the "bravest". ^_^''

Agree with you, his comments are simply funny.
(ID #191249) Posted on 2008/05/19 14:14
I would most probably have been a combination of laughed at/beaten up. Sorry to hear about the proposed figure competition, since I don't actually own any figures or such like (as of yet). That is one brave man though, I wonder how open minded the community is where he lives...

lol.. i'll get the combination of laughed at/beaten up/arrested..

(ID #192791) Posted on 2008/05/21 11:29
Me has no figures (yet) either. But Danny says the giveaway is only for senior members actively contributing to the community, so I guess we're not qualified?

Hmm doing something like that in germany would proably get pretty much the same reactions as on the pictures. ;) Hmm kissing a figure? Right now all i got is figma Haruhi and seriously, kissing girls aren't something i would take a picture of. :P Also i would hate to torture other people with my fugly self lol. Though... it would be a tough cookie is figma Lelouch would make it in time to my place haha... *cough* ... smexy guy he is he could even hold my cheeks! *sigh* ^^;;;;;;;; Now you have done something horrible to my imagination Danny.
(ID #191027) Posted on 2008/05/19 09:27

lol you gotta love the audacity! If he tried that in NYC, someone would surely either take that pillow or knock him down....and then take the pillow.

LOL
(ID #191127) Posted on 2008/05/19 11:52
I dunno about that, you remember the Naked Cowboy right? He is even making it into commercials now.
(ID #191759) Posted on 2008/05/20 03:26
That takes some guts to do something like that. It didn't look like there were a lot of odd stares either. The comments that were added onto the pictures were hysterical.
(ID #191766) Posted on 2008/05/20 03:46
Posted that in the wrong spot.
(ID #191767) Posted on 2008/05/20 03:47
Dude it would get so dirty i wouldn't want to take it out on the subway in NY.

(ID #191058) Posted on 2008/05/19 10:06
Epic win crazy cool otaku guy lol. And quite the bold one too.
(ID #191066) Posted on 2008/05/19 10:13
Looks like fun! Beautiful city. There are mostly just hobos in my city, they wouldnt neccesarily laugh or anything if I did that, they would probably just ask for the pillow, or spare change.
(ID #191068) Posted on 2008/05/19 10:23
I wouldn't do that for all the money in the world. The funny thing is, in all of the pictures no one is looking at him. Its like they've seen it all before or something.
(ID #191069) Posted on 2008/05/19 10:24
this would actually make a really cool giveaway contest
(ID #191072) Posted on 2008/05/19 10:30
I would probably do that, looks like alot of fun. Gonna wait for my Natsume Rin to arrive, and then take a trip into town. ^^; Probably gonna get beaten and laughed at. >_<
(ID #191073) Posted on 2008/05/19 10:31
Awaiting your pics.
(ID #191128) Posted on 2008/05/19 11:53
Same here!
(ID #192792) Posted on 2008/05/21 11:30
That's awsome. I would love to run around my home town doing that. As for kissing a figure, hell, I might. It'd be kind of hard to do it though. Maybe during my High School graduation?
(ID #191077) Posted on 2008/05/19 10:35
I salute you, Melonpan, for you are a man among otakus! That's quite a scenic city tour too.
(ID #191078) Posted on 2008/05/19 10:37
That guy knows no shame. Hope he enjoys ruining his own reputation. "oh look, it's that weirdo guy who carried around a large pillow with a weird cartoon girl on it last week!"
(ID #191079) Posted on 2008/05/19 10:37
LOL, nice one! I say do it again with a more revealing dakimakura. I'd like to see the expressions then! This one's too properly dressed.

(ID #191083) Posted on 2008/05/19 10:42
haha,same here ^^; If i were to go around with a pillow like that where i live, i would get strange looks and might get beaten down/get labeled as an idiot in school

Awwww, when I get my Nia pillow, I'm gonna do the same thing, and dedicate it to you, Melonpan, you are the man! Although it probably won't get the same reaction as him since I'm a little girl.

I couldn;t read the comments on his blog, due o me only knowing English and French, but those pictures are AMAZING. I would totally do something like this with a figure. Like, a 1:1 scale figure or a bodypillow of a male character or something.
(ID #191107) Posted on 2008/05/19 11:32
THIS IS SERIOUSLY HILARIOUS I CANT STOP LAUGHING HAHAHAHAHA
(ID #191110) Posted on 2008/05/19 11:35
Hehe! That is pretty awesome, but over here I'd bet you'd get beaten up or at the very least laughed at over here... But that's an interesting idea for a contest... Bravest otaku gets a prize... I'd probably lose, unless I did something that would get me arrested.
(ID #191115) Posted on 2008/05/19 11:42
LOL Awesome. Two thumbs up for your bravery ^^

Very brave....I would wear my mask going around like that....
(ID #191126) Posted on 2008/05/19 11:52
I may get away with it if Nia was in a huge plastic bag, makes people think i just bought her, and was on the way home.... I bow down to bravery.

i see nothing wrong with a guy holding a dakimakura going around town. is it because of nia on the cover? if nia is not there, i doubt anybody around him would care. btw, nia is not moe (please don't hit me). *runs away*
(ID #191150) Posted on 2008/05/19 12:09
I hope you don't propose an open bravest otaku challenge. Some of us are pretty shameless and might end up in the news somehow. Personally, I've only done two things otaku related in public. 1) Take a soccer ball sized Togepi (Lucky Egg Pokemon) Plush to a physics test (Grade: A). 2) Took my Saber Cushion to the Track Meet last weekend (AND WE WON!). I wasn't publicizing it, but it got some attention.

I loled! :D Man I gotta take off my hat to that guy! He's earned my respect! To that sort of thing in public he's pretty brave and very passionate about being an otaku. In our place most people would just stare, some might laugh since rare to see a man moving around with a daki. Kiss your figure in public? Hmm...I am a bit inspired with from this guy I might do it.
(ID #191173) Posted on 2008/05/19 12:36

here hardly anyone knows what anime are. but that wont stop them from staring and laughing at me if i were to do any such thing in public. I'll probably be thought of as a mentally deranged guy walking around with a big pillow. getting beaten up would be a possibility here :(

Love the "WTF" over the guys head in the second picture, matches perfectly with his look. I use to get stared at just carrying a random anime plushie into Borders on our Anime nights. Man does he have guts to carry around a full body pillow in public like that. Heck.. I use to get weird looks cause I had chibi pins all over my bag and it said "Hellsing" on it. I even got told "I pity you" by one of the Amish/Menanite(sp) vendors at Green Dragon(Flea Market) because of the "Hellsing"on my bag. I tried to explain to him that it was an animated show and continued to show him my shirt I had on of it, and he just shook his head and rambled on about how he pitied me. I just gave up and walked out and continued going through my Magic card pack I had bought. >>;

Hehe, a few months ago a Japanese TV crew came to South Africa to film Otaku lifestyle in the country, I brought my dakimakura to the filming to be interviewed alongside it, even kissed it on film, the director guy was laughing to death but they never put that on TV... orz. I did find it a bit strange though, that when I first arrived I heard the film crew say "dakimakura no jidai wa itsu datta" or something similar, as if they were never found in Japan anymore... maybe I just misheard, (it was just eavesdropping) or are dakimakura becoming less popular?

If someone was to do that here, they'd get weird looks, a couple of pointed fingers, loud whispers and a bunch of hysterical laughter. Although I don't think I'd be ashamed to do that in public if I was dared or if the price is right ^_^
(ID #191403) Posted on 2008/05/19 18:38

I am not particularly fond of carrying bulky objects to feel otaku-dom but well, as they say, flashy and courage gets one far both on terms with stares and respect from fellow otakus :) So far, the only anime-related stint i've seen so far are girls doing the goth+loli or Japanese street fashion (makes you stick out sorely) with or without kaboodles of anime merchandize on. Then I remember that there's an interesting guy attending university who comes to school every single day in a naruto outfit. Literally. He was nicknamed "Naruto 24/7 cosplayer." But that's it that I know of...no Dakimakuras :P

Just when I thought I had seen all there was to otakuism, a whole other layer/realm opens up. I do admire his courage and heroism for the cause. In some cases I have gone out with a blue Tengo Tenje bag over one shoulder and second bag covered in pins and a stuffed ryo-oki/ken-oki combo on the other with selected anime shirt of the day, but I do not know if I'm comfortable enough to go out with a hug pillow. I guess he could have chosen a more hentia pillow all things considered.

Student and full-time otaku
I saw this earlier. Indeed he is brave....or stupid. Why isn't there an option in the poll 'all of the above, minus cool'? Seriously, I could not pull this off in my town, no sir, even though the Dutch are labeled as very tolerant. Sorry Danny, come up with another contest, this one is cruel XD

Second picture from the top, The guy's expression is priceless. Some of the pictures reminds me of Mr. Bean. You know his bean teddy bear.

Words fail me... Seeing an otaku carry a dakimakura around in Akiba is one thing, seeing a Euro-otaku carrying one in idyllic and scenic Switzerland is something else to behold. LMAO I'm glad I didn't view this at work, or I would be at pains trying to contain my giggling. (Then again, attempting to view Danny's blog at work is no different from applying to get voluntarily laid off. xD ) melonpan, we salute you for your audacious/shameless behaviour. lol
(ID #191699) Posted on 2008/05/20 01:53
haha. the stare from the old guy is a classic. i hope he remembered to give it a good wash before using it after visiting the little boy's room with it^^
(ID #191703) Posted on 2008/05/20 02:03
Oh my god. What. That is... well... indescribable.
(ID #191707) Posted on 2008/05/20 02:07
Beautiful city. I'm not brave enough to do that. If I do it here, certainly will get laughs, but not much more. People are just indifferent here. I don't have any otaku stuff other than anime DVDs anyway.
(ID #191721) Posted on 2008/05/20 02:39
Lol! Those photos (and melonpans comments on his blog) are priceless, made me laugh quite a bit! ^^ Is it silly? Surely! Audacious? Definitely. Funny? No doubt. Stupid? Possibly. A grown man and anime fan owning a hugging pillow and parading it around on the street? Well, it can be seen as funny, gutsy or stupid depending on your outlook. But ask yourself this? What would you rather see, who would you rather be and what world would you rather live in? Would you rather be or live in a plce where you can be an anime fan and do funny, silly things like walking around with a daimakura for kicks and laughs? Or would you rather be or live in a place like that elder person shown, frowning, condemning... so grey, lifeless, without a smile,... already dead inside? I think our world can use all the joy and passion there is.

This is modest & socially acceptable because of being normally-clothed, but it's still nevertheless bold. I love melonpan's shirt.
(ID #191748) Posted on 2008/05/20 03:15
Is this what is called "nerdcore"? Got plenty of stones for that stunt. Bravo!

He's a freaky one to do that such a things to do. FOR CRY OUT LAUGH.

Hey, those are some nice pictures of Bern, all of us here are proud of what you've done, I think you're one of the bravest Otakus I've seen as well. And, nice Nia pillow.

Top stuff. If i had the money, I would probably sponsor him for another walk around Zürich, carrying a Candy Girl!!
(ID #191877) Posted on 2008/05/20 07:14
That made me laugh hard. In my town I would have been laughed at, but I'll praise you, that's something not many can do. Truly the man amongst men if I can say so.
(ID #191885) Posted on 2008/05/20 07:30
Utterly amazing. I would only do that under the condition that it was my last day to live. I fell out of my chair laughing.

HAHA. Amazing. I'd never be able to do something like that unless I live in an otaku city or something. lol. Awesome, really awesome! *applause* Anyone doing that around here and you'd get stared at like some freak or something.
(ID #192025) Posted on 2008/05/20 10:57
Waiting for the day when it ISN'T weird to be walking about with a dakimakura. the only weird thing to be said would be, "Hey, why is that guy walking around with a pillow? It's way past morning..." Me think never
(ID #192071) Posted on 2008/05/20 12:16
You know, i bet this is going to be a far more common sight if Danny decided to go with the "Bravest Otaku" competition... Suddenly, dakimakuras take over the world!
(ID #192118) Posted on 2008/05/20 13:40
man thats hilarious, if only I could do something like that, well i can... but will i?
(ID #192122) Posted on 2008/05/20 13:42
If I would do something like that in my country then people would laught from me or think that I have problems with my brain XD. Anyway nice photos ^^

I'll be teargassed, beaten by batons and then get myself bagged up to a secret detention center and charged under my country's Internal Security Act for doing that. He's truly an brave hero.
(ID #192280) Posted on 2008/05/20 18:42
I wish I could do that, but cosplaying is the farest I can go here without being laughed at :( I'm currentrly planning in going through my city coslaying, but surely i will get laughed at. .. srry my bad english ^^'
(ID #192409) Posted on 2008/05/21 00:00
With this site beeing VERY slow for the last 24 hours, i guess Melonpan is now the worlds´ 2nd most popular Otaku (Danny is still #1!)... I knew him before he got popular... Melonpan i want a child of you and Nia (^_^)!!!
(ID #192512) Posted on 2008/05/21 02:35
So funny! I love the look on the old man.
(ID #192542) Posted on 2008/05/21 03:38
ALL HAIL MELONPAN! If i dare do that here, i don't think that i'll gain only these weird looks.

(ID #195445) Posted on 2008/05/24 10:08
Wow, that guy is really something. I mean really, he's really brave. But it can be really hard sometimes, because of people. Or, on a bus sometimes when it's full. The question is that he pays for one ticket or two? :D But he's really great.
(ID #196813) Posted on 2008/05/26 01:45

(ID #208326) Posted on 2008/06/09 14:16
He is a brave, brave man. Also lucky to have one of those hug pillows.
(ID #265110) Posted on 2008/08/14 10:30
He is a brave one to bring his dakimakura around his hood

Pillow's isn't really my thing. But if I did do something like that I would most likely be something along the lines of: Laughed at/Beaten up by civilians/Beaten up by cops/Arrested Laughed at/Beaten up by volvo loving teens./Ran over by a volvo. or Sent on a rocket ride into the sun. People around here are really fast to put down anything different.
