There will be an event next Sunday (Nov 9th) in Odaiba called Ita G Festa where there will be over 500 itasha on display. The event is turning out to be quite an otakufest and there will also be cosplayers too. A group in Cure are looking for girls who are free for the day willing to cosplay as Ranka and Sheryl - they need two of each and will pay 15,000 yen to each person who ends up cosplaying. Good Smile have told me that they plan to be there but are still making the car which is not finished - could be a slight chance that they cant go. If you are in town and plan on going then contact me though my Facebook and we'll meet up. You can see more pics like this Itasha pictured here at a previous Comike.

I'm not sure what's more scary, the pantsu, or the fact that the panchira girls on the hood doesn't strike me as weird anymore ^^;;

Danny! You have to get some good pictures! I love those darn Itasha cars. Wish we had them in America, especially in Los Angeles but most racers here only have JDM. No one has an import. Actually i've only seened 2 imports in Los Angeles that i can remember. One was an imported early 90's Civic hatch back and recently i saw someone with a very old imported Fairlady Z S30. Old but i'd still drive an old rusted S30 only because it's imported with right hand drive cab. ^___^ Make sure you can get as many R-32, R-33, R-34, S13 hatch backs & S15's as you can. But any picture is good enough.
(ID #355526) Posted on 2008/11/02 13:48
well at least you saw 1 you lucky Here in canada quebec I am sure people here would be against that..

Huh? You mean an Itasha? No no no, there is no Itasha here that i know of yet. I said i've only seened 2 imported cars in my life so far. They didn't have Itasha. But..........if i get an oppurtunity in life i will get my own Nissan 240SX, tune it up and beautify it with Itasha.
(ID #355546) Posted on 2008/11/02 14:08
waa nice ^^ I think about that too but here people don't really like anime/manga japanese stuff...Still think about It :D ( if ever you have 1 post it please hahah :P)

Are Canadian laws that strict about Anime? I'm very confused.
(ID #355598) Posted on 2008/11/02 14:53
I dont think its about law its about people opinion...people here mostly think that manga and anime are cartoon and that is for little boy or girls...

I was thinking the very same thing :) I presume that Danny will make a huge article about this event and it will be full of pictures.

Looking forward to the photos, too bad I'm not in Japan. Unlikely, but it would great to see an Index or Kannagi ita-sha soon :)

Nice! I can't wait to see more pictures of those Itasha. But that doesn't mean I want my own Itasha though. Would rather drive a normal-looking car. Preferably a black car.. because black looks good XD

They only look good if they are worked into a design. I'm tempted to get something done to my own car. @Martini It is sorta like any other peal and stick decal, print on a large format printer onto the decal sticker paper and put it on.
