America Itasha

Would love to do up my car with some anime decals but sadly I use my car for work. I have to content myself with a decepticon emblem and cobra command decal.

Wow, thanks a lot Danny for featuring my article! :D
It was a great car, and happy to see my first Itasha in person. I do think they should have kept the whole car with an either moe or dark theme, but it is still really nice and the color scheme is great.

I like the whole itasha thing, but I would never do it to my car.
I don't care for the mixing of themes. Have a bunch of cute/moe characters on the hood and then having the rest of the car be gun firing/vampires/other assorted "dark" stuff doesn't seem to fit together.
G35 is a great car too, nice to see it getting some attention.

I'll have one car like this in the future, far future though ^^;;

lol @ last pic, ichigo in vizard form

Heh the cosplay in the last picture is spot on. ^^

I'll do this someday. :D

D: Me wants one like that! by the way why don't you do your car with Mirai-tan ? LOL

I think I've seen one in Malaysia but it went by too fast for me to take any picture :(

I'm more impressed with the car in this one

I don't think the front girls are from any eroge. Like the rest of the car, I think they are original character designs.

I like the rear design of the car...the blue color really makes it look like the night sky with the red moon...

Darn... I really need to get mine as itasha'd as soon as possible!

I was tempted to do this to my car before moving to Japan but in my city it would get keyed to hell and back. So I'll be waiting till I get to Japan ^^;

Looks good though~! Love the back!

The last photo has Ichigo looking into the car. LOL

I'll do this when I get my own car ^^', not family shared car (I use it 80% of the time though) LOL

if i'm not wrong, the girls are from visual novel, 明日の君と逢うために 「Ashita no Kimi to Au Tame ni」... got that pic as a wallpaper~

Wow, G35 itasha, very nice & informative~

!?・・・スゴイ！！完成度が高くて

なんかカッコイイ！　車も高そうｗｗｗ

サイドのシューティングの絵は、Pixivで見たことありますｗ

Love the art work. What a waste of a RWD car though... automatic? *tsk tsk*

cool~
itasha is taking the world by storm!!

Having a car like this would risk the danger of being keyed :(

imagine if there's itasha in transformer 3. :3c

lol at the last pic.

Nice car, would be awkward driving that around getting all those stares.

Looks awesome... But no matter much of an Otaku I was I still don't think I would do this to my car ^^

Looks awesome

Thankgoodness im buying a Smart Fortwo - Switch the panels over when im not in the otaku mood~~~~

Looks Awesome , but If I want an Itasha Car I would make it a Vocaloid Theme Car . Not too Ero , Don't want anyone think I'm a Perv

I didnt think that people would start doing that in america. I dont think it will get very popular until a while though. I think the average person would be kind of embaressed to drive one.

Even though it's Ero and many people would think it's disgusting, this was done really good.

Now that's 1 awesome car there ;)

I like #image75652 the most. I vaguely recall seeing this somewhere before.. can't seem to get my finger on it T_T

I want to do this to my car when I get one but I don't know where I can get custom decals and stuff.

Last photo has a reflection of Ichigo "BANKAI"!!!......... Hmm i wonder where can i get one of those masks...?? Anybody??

Nice Itasha! Lovely illustration on the front hood, it's an artwork of Wakamiya Asuka & Yuugiri Ruriko from the eroge "Till I Reach Your Tomorrow" (Asu no Nanami Au Tameni) by artist Mappirakku (まっぴーらっく).

Used it as a wallpaper for a while that artwork, it's terrific, glad to see it on an itasha. ^^

日産スカイライン。むこうじゃインフィニティなのかね。
再度の画像は既出だけどpixivにあるね。メイキングも含めて。やっぱりネタ元は統一した方がいいよなーと見た感想。
痛車って西海岸のスポコンとか言うのが元ネタかと思ってたけど、日本で二次元に特化して逆輸入されたかと思うとなかなか興味深い。

Nice illustration but I don't know if I would put that on my sports car. I would definately think about Haruhi and Nagato on my car ^_^ That's if I had the money to do said things.

The last pic is the best. Love the cosplay reflection!

lol

Nissan Skyline. I guess if you're gonna paint anime girls on a car that's the one to do it on.

Wow...impressive designs...hopefully i can do so as well...

Those cars do look really good. I am not sure it would be allowed long here in Texas or Oklahoma they way those 2 cars are now because of the distraction effect they could have possibly according to the law officers in these two States. Like wise, those glow tube lights people use under cars to make them glow as well at night are against the law as well. If it decals were done in the form of nose art for a airplane it probably wouldn't be a problem since it would be small decals. If it was a show car, one not driven on the street daily, it would be no problem I am pretty sure. I would love to have some of the Hack//Roots characters on my Mustang.

"The Itasha makes its way to the US. Maybe we will be seeing more like this outside of Japan?"

yes we will. in 4-5 years time, Malaysia. I'm THAT determined to fulfill it.

Those are awesome!

Ain't they lovely, though?

I've picked out a few designs for my Mazda Bongo conversion which I shall airbrush on when I collect it in a few months.

I'm curious to know if this design is stickers or something else.

Goes along with his license plate, good advertising!

I so, so want that. I'll gladly have that on my car and increase the number of cars with that in the US We need more Itasha here dammit! >_<

I recently saw an Itasha parked in the mall by my house. I wish I had a camera =(

=S
the Shinigami in the last picture....
Final Destination? o.O?!!

Cool, a Infiniti G35 Coupe with decals and did I see a hollow Ichigo in the last photo?

i've been using that pic as my background for quite a while, very nice piece of art

Ooooo, I like the girls on the first one, but I wish I knew there names. I know the title it's Ashita no Kimi to Au Tame ni but I can't find many photos.

I like to see those Itashas here in US. but I can sense moral-fags on the prowl.

Heeey people!!! We just want to say thanks for the love from you guys and girls from all over the world. We have 3 more cars in the making and a couple of bikes coming soon. We've been watching itasha in japan for a while now and we see alot of their work is beautiful and their themes are clean. We are doing technically more difficult vinyl work here in the states and challenge you in japan to answer our call! My G35 was a test to see how america would respond to it. I currently am working with a manga artist (L_azu_chan_L) that's her deviantart name, check out her work, on a new theme. Also, add us on myspace (myspace.com/teamlovehate, Twitter, and facebook (teamlove hateforever). Thanks again for the international live u guys and keep an eye out for our love hate clothing line. Due in the spring!!! X )

Oh. That's my car and thanks for the love. I didn't think it would get so much attention when Steve and I sat down and decided we would give it a try. We literally said to ourselves as we laid the first vinyl, "People are eiher going to love it or hate it. Screw it, there's no turning back now." so it's been like 3 months since we started it. Entered it in to several carshows in California. The car ahs become somewhat of a celebrity here in Sacramento. So for those of you who are thinking about it, kudos for you. If you stand by what you love and do what you do regardless of other peoples opinions, only then can you enjoy life an people will enjoy you.

Peace out. = P

Ooooh! I love how they actually managed to use the car's original paint as a background color--and they ran their images all the way to the edge whenever possible. It really makes it look more professional and awesome than most of the other itasha I've seen pictures of.

ill see that car soon
and guess Saber Lily is out of place here

OMG! I love the right side of the car! I saw that picture on devart and used it as my background since forever! (^_^)

definitely want to do that to my car, hopefully no one decides to jack it because they think it's so awesome. lol

wow, i like it, wonder how it would fit on my Renault 5, and what would my girlfriend say ;-)
