Ita G Festa Photos

Planned to go to the Ita G Festa today but had so much stuff going on that I couldn't make it ToT.
Otasuke went along to take a load of photos (more at their site).
Some gorgeous Itasha on display and yummy looking dakimakura too.
Looking at these photos has made me decide to add "Itasha car stickers" to the list of merchandise for the Suenaga sisters in 2009. Next up will be the T-shirts though.




























If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Nah....i will not =_=
I like car and anime but not Itasha.
To me, it doesn't each other.

Agreed, I too like anime, but my interest in anime generally ends after the episode is over, I'm not fond of seeing random anime girls around or over objects I guess^^.

For the most part, I agree. The colors just don't match well. And most of the ones that aren't colored just look kind of lame. There are some that do look nice though, like the one the one with nekomimi girl and says "sprodesign."

I've wanted to do this to my future car for years, even before I knew there was a fad and a name for it. They just look so cute.

I so want to have anime stickers in my car XD
http://animaticfigmation.com/
I would love to have almost any one of those cars. They're all so cool looking. A few of those wouldn't go over well in this country I'd think though.

Also wouldn't mind that life size Saber ^^ oh and what exactly is the picture with the price tags in the small packages?

http://bluebluewave.wordpress.com
Not too sure if I would, if I had a white car and could get a nice customized look by adding them, perhaps,... still, seem sa bit embarassing. Then again I drove around for years in an old timer VW beetle that was pink/purple. ^^;;
As it is, we're not allowed to put any decals or other on our company car, not even the company name.
Tons of "Lucky Star" themed cars though, very striking. I suppose the characters and series lend themselves well to such itasha themes.
An "Aria" one could be nice, can use red, yellow or blue color theme too depending on which company you choose.

The odd thing about Lucky Star themed cars though, if the photos here are any indication, is that most of them are the Hiiragi sisters as well. Thought we'd see more of Konata.

What i would have is my Avatar maybe ;)
Would look great on a Car i think....
That or the Future avatar for my Page....

Those look amazing, but would probably do something like what the white car has. I think it would take me a while to decide, what to put on a car. Thank you Otasuke for taking the photos and Danny for posting them.
Nekophilia
Wow! Me wants a car now! xD
-How could one of them spell Tsukasa as Tukasa... That totally made the car epic phail.
On the other hand, I love the Shana, Lucky Star, Kagamine Rin and most of all, Reimu ^^
Where is Touhou anime? ><

Also, I don't see any Strike Witches goodness... What happened?!

Tukasa is actually the proper spelling using the Kunrei-romanization taught in schools ^^

I would've loved to go to that event. There are so many cars with the Hiiragi twins.
If I lived in Japan, I would so do that for fun.
Police here would probably pull you over for having something like that on your car. Just goes to show how strong anime influences Japan.

Personally, I would love to put an anime sticker on my car. Just not a huge one, like a bumper sticker or something.

So many lucky star themed itasha cars but the Macross F still stood out as well as Touhou's Reimu.
Hope i could get my hands on one of these and stick it to my car XD

I would stick a Celestial Being emblem sticker on the front, but that's about it...
When I first saw the Ranka sticker, I felt awed... followed by a feeling to fly a VF-25 into it. :/

I am curious Danny. The Otaku were discriminated in the past right. So if you drove one of these cars around town now, would your car get scratched or anything? I'm quite sure you would attract weird stares? Or is it mainly for display purposes only.

After all they are only car stickers... Their car will obviously be scratched if it is permanent...I believed that the stickers are easy-removable types..

So they paste them on for the show and take them off after?

Wow, some of those look really cool...although the Saber doll is kinda creepy. If I had a car, I'd put stickers on it definately (although I'd be too scared to do really 'lewd' ones ^^)

Define "Stickers". I don't reckon I would put big character decals on the car, but I already carry little eX-D (from eX-Driver, for those who know it) decals just ahead rear wheel arches. So... stealth Itasha? I've yet to meet anyone on the street or at an event (aside from those I already know) that got the reference.

zomg YES! NEKKID ONES!
i wonder... if you have such a decal made out of, for example, an image from an artbook you own, then stuck onto your car. would that be copyright infringement? it's your car and your sticker, so it ought to be personal use? that's what you licensed when you bought the book, right? does an "all rights reserved" cover such use?

Ah, what a shame to not be there, the itasha looked beautiful and a lot of high qualit work seemed to be on display.
The Macross F official itasha looked great as always, and all the Lucky Star ones seem cute.Liked the pantsu displaying ones too ^^

I wouldn't put stickers on my car; I'd paint it myself!
I think my fave is the Shana one--usually when the legs get cut off it annoys me, but something about her pose makes that one work.
And the hard-on one literally made me LOL. Totally not subtle!

Nice stickers. But probably wouldn't stick any on my car, I would be too embarrassed to drive it :P

That doll in the passenger seat is pretty creepy...I doubt anyone would steal it.

I love the Touhou car, it is just the right amount. Some of the cars are a little overkill in my opinion, but I admire their devotion. The sheet amount of Lucky Star is astounding as well.

Student/Part-timer
I'd never stick a sticker that large on my car, especially if it ends up covering windows, that's just a hazard. If it's something like a little bumper sticker, I'd totally have no problem with it, but something as large as that, I'll just pass. Also, it'd be way to embarrassing to put an anime sticker that large on my car in America. My car would get vandalized and broken into if I did that.

Unless it somehow blends with the car...those stickers really just stand out too much for me.

I like the idea of itasha but some of these cars have no cohesion whatsover . . . the stickers just look slapped on and crowd each other. They should stick with a theme and not clutter so much. And definitely not cover the windows because how can you see outside?

Haha, I almost feel guilty for liking that as much as I do! Are the graphics they apply something that is available state side, or is this something the dedicated few make entirely themselves?

They are made by hardcore fans but since they are getting incredibly popular it's only a matter of time until they are commercially available. After the cars came the trucks and the motorbikes, now we have the bicycles and laptops ^^

I like the 1st one the most, but i dont think I would ever apply one to my car. Anime is popular in the U.S but not exactly mainstream and I think I'd become a lil self conscious over time about it. maybe a small one in the corner of a window though.....HMMMMM......

How do they make those car stickers? I know there's a YouTube video but it's only in Japanese. I'd like to make my own and stick one on my car.
I remember they were selling Little Busters itasha stickers at Gamers. Too bad they didn't have any other stickers for other series.

It's like anything other type of customizing in the respect that if it's done well, it's pretty cool, but if it's over done or the images are poor choices it looks absolutely stupid. Some of those cars are terrific, but too many of them are just tacky.

b) You will be praised by your friends and strangers
c) Nothing will happen.
