痛車

Wow!  I used to want to pull that sort of stunt with my own heap.  Never got around to it nor researched how it was done.  Interesting to look at though.

Hmmm...it depends on A) what kind of car I have and B) what anime would be on it :P

Imagine if you did that to your mobile suit, you'd launch into the battlefield and everyone will be like "omgwtf??!!" and "==;" and "Itagundam!"

Hmm ... it'd be nice to doll up a car like tat, though I probably need to learn to drive and get my own car first.

But then, it'd probably be tough to pick up girls with such a car.

Haha, there is no way, even if hell froze over and refroze, that I would put an anime character on my car.

I would totally put a massive sticker of a SD Gundam(Advanced Hazel >:3) on my car!

I would so put my mascot on my car!  Female or male; I don't care!  As long as it's my mascot I'd do it! :D

reply to Demacrez's comment

I love anime and I love my cars, but still, I wouldn't combine the two to do this. If I had a show car for Autosalon or something I would consider it, but I'd be scared if it got scratched.

hmmmmmm,......I don't know..
My car is already customized...it's completely covered with a leopard-(cheetah)skin sticker;) for promotional issues.
Quite an eye-catcher still....but to put an anime on it........????
I'll have to see ...

Hmmm... Its pretty, but im not a fan of 'pimped' cars. Im much rather see cars in japan in colours other than white, black or grey instead!

That car's paintwork wouldnt last long in a UK street...

Wow.... I'm a huge car fan and a huge anime fan.  However, I'd NEVER do that to my car, nor would I ever drive an "Itasha."

Wow.. I hate cars, and driving in general, but if I had that Nanoha car, I'd gladly drive all day :>

I wonder if I could pay someone to do that professionally... :P

reply to Phenie's comment

I'd do it if I had a garage to keep the car in during the modification.  I'd repaint my car, which is suffering from old age (it's going "gray" [primer showing]), and put my web comic's main character there (maybe).

OMG that is soo cool! I would love to do that to a Nissan Skyline xD then it can be an Itasha Street Racing Car. However if i did it, i would like to have a Ninja or a samurai on it, but i still think its very cool...

Hail, these are the people who have enough courage and guts to go around and show off their interest in anime! It really tests me too, "Do you have the guts to decorate your car with anime?"
Like the lot of people, I probably don't, but I sure like to give props to these guys who actually did. And like a few others, I also need a car. :P

I need to find out and tell you later as I'm interested in how they do this.

Alafista OTAKU,
Well it depends on what type of girl ^^;

reply to Danny Choo's comment

So it's the post you promised to us. All right!

I feel that the true essence of otaku-ism is found in Japan, so Itasha is more than okay there. But in other countries, it would leave a lot of people spooked and bewildered as older generations are unfamiliar with anime.

I find it great to express your tastes to the public and that some stickers can change your car completely!
At worst, every taste is in nature, and there are many eroge fanatics in this world, so itasha should be fine in comparison...

I like this idea, and if one asked me about trying it, I'd reply "Why not?"... If it's not about ending having my car stolen or vandalized, that is. ^-^

If I had a "spare" car I'll definitely go for it lol.  I would like to apply more "discrete" stickers to my car though... Like a A.E.U.G. or Zeon logo car sticker. Never found a place that sells that kind of stickers for cars anyway. Any info is highly appreciated ^^

Definitely will do something like that man. The FAITH logo would be nice as well, but a friend of mine suggested putting a Haruhism sticker or two...

reply to Daniel Ouija's comment

People could you actually get paid for this...

Considering how big is the anime industry, maybe advertisers could start using cars as the advertising support. That would be pretty interesting.

To Gordon Pekeur:

Well, there has been at least a commercial plane (I think it belonged to JAL -Japan Airlines-) covered with huge Pokémon stickers, itasha style... as far as I remember.

Though it has been many years ago already.
And I'm sure there are a lot more examples like that one.

So it's not that recent for a phenomenon...

I was imagining how would be a Gundam Car Style, or may an Eva Car style. You can also add nice stuff on it (maybe some machine guns and nice wings =P)

There are many, there are already instructions on some itasha goods, it depends on how you'll put it up, just need some creativity.

creepy....  But then again, it nearly reminds me of stuff some guys in my unit try to pull off when I see 56th Stryker stickers everywhere.  If they touch my car, then they will be smoked until I'm tired of watching them puke.

I was walking around Akihabara this evening and seen a couple of cars (180SX, Subaru Impreza, Honda Civic Hatchback and a Silvia) lined up in front of Curry Kitchen all with these stickers on them.  Very popular with the crowds as many people gathered to take pictures (so did I).  Here's a link to those pictures: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=20450&l=22623&id=502529336
