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
Gah, sorry! Looks like you posted it when I was on the plane - missed it completely ToT.
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.
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..
Neighborhooding country, but i get "ridiculed and ostracized" added to the mix.
Beaten most likely for me too. But it be worth it!
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?
You have 756 comments - you are very well qualified!
that guy is freaking awesome!!! some of the pictures is pure otaku...
best part is when he's running with the other people xD
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.
Hahaha I would never do that, but I'm glad that someone will
melonpan has made me speechless... he's one brave fellow seems like venturing the town in an otaku way is quite popular these days ^^
Just awesome, gotta have alot of courage. Gonna see his blog
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
I dunno about that, you remember the Naked Cowboy right? He is even making it into commercials now.
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.
Posted that in the wrong spot.
Dude it would get so dirty i wouldn't want to take it out on the subway in NY.
Oh wow. Suddenly melonpan became awesome.
:O He's so cool. haha Seems like a fun guy
Epic win crazy cool otaku guy lol. And quite the bold one too.
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.
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.
this would actually make a really cool giveaway contest
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. >_<
Awaiting your pics.
Same here!
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?
I salute you, Melonpan, for you are a man among otakus! That's quite a scenic city tour too.
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!"
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.
lol brave brave meronpan XD
melonpan... meronpan is another member of DC. ^^;
gomen o_o; I got them mixed up =_=
Wow... balls of steel man, I could never do that... I do however have a hatsune miku pillow XD I would come shake your hand though if I met you in person.
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
Brilliant .... i love this sort of humour!
"In America", you would be beaten! =/. Although i think it is a bit weird, all the more power to him! I'm not too big into dakimakuras.
that's what I call passion!
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.
hands down to you...funny thing is the people in the pic doesnt seem to mind you...in my place they would surely be laughing at you calling you "idiot" or "crazy"
not really at "you" if you came to my country...but to any1 who does those kind of stuff
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.
THIS IS SERIOUSLY HILARIOUS I CANT STOP LAUGHING HAHAHAHAHA
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.
LOL Awesome. Two thumbs up for your bravery ^^
O_O ! Oh wow, I find it hard to find the words to post, LOL!
Very brave....I would wear my mask going around like that....
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.
this is epic.. its like the "Euro Trip" with a dakimakura
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*
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.
Wow. Really respect him for doing that!! I know most of us wouldn't be able to do the same (at least not now, until danny decides to pull the plug with his "proposed" compeitition lol).
