Room O Dakimakura
Johno shows us his new most coolsome dakimakura/bed sheet room.
Anybody not want a room like this?
Original text from Johno below.
I'm happy to say that I've officially moved out and runnin' my own place with my girlfriend. We have a 2 bedroom, 1 bath appartment. It is very nice in my opinion. What's even nicer is that she let me decorate the 2nd bedroom with whatever I want.
It's great, I don't have to box up all my dakimakura, bedsheets and towels anymore. I can display whenever I want, however I want. They finally get some breathing room. I can't say the same with my figurines though, most of them are preserved until I feel like displaying them. I have about 20 scattered in the appartment and see no need to display more...but the dakimakura and bedsheets stay in this room. Even though it's our appartment, people come over so we still need to keep things at a limit.
PS: The dakimakura will unwrinkle themselves, I barely finished putting them up. I had no other way of hanging up the girls, so if it looks a little tacky, deal. ;p

May I know where did you order the oppai mouse pad?? I'm from Malaysia too!! :)
Student
I heard that they're going to ban 'obscene figurines' and tear out 'obscene pages' in magazine because we're 'toying' with Eve's body. Never heard of them trying to ban oppai mouse pads though.

Man, it's gotta suck living there. The idea of others telling me what I can and can't do would just tick me off to no end.

nice room, u should marry this girl for letting u do that with the 2nd room
Student, Tech
I'm planning on it.

I, I can't allow it. Any girl who allows their boyfriend to do this is the best girlfriend ever. Considering I'm right north of you, I can probably sneak down to where you are and snatch her for myself. ;D

Don't, please? ; ;

Woah! Lucky you!
Question!
So your wife's an otaku like you?
Student, Tech
Yes, but she didn't come out of the box like that. Everything sort of rubbed off of me and she just took it from there. When I met her, she didn't have the slightest knowledge of anime.

I, being a woman otaku, think this is a beautiful room!:D And yes, Persocom-san also lucked out with me also being an otaku, openly otaku, I even tend to bring otaku-ness to my workplace at times.:P *Reminder to self: Want that Yoka Daki, and would also like a "Zero No Tsukaima" Daki also!* All in all, your room rocks, and you have an awesome girlfriend for being so open about your interests!:D When's the wedding date?:D
Student, Tech
Thanks, I appreciate it. The wedding date? I don't want to jinx anything but I hope it's sometime next year. ;)

Walls full of dakimakura cover, mountains of figure boxes, shelf full of (anime) books... GIMME! I can't imagine those dakimakura covers being cheap though... yet you have so many!
Student & Otaku
Wow... the first thing I noticed in the pic was not the daimakuras but the unopened/sealed figurine boxes. Lol, he has a ton of them but never puts them on display. You should!
Anyways, daimakuras really ain't my thing, but the collection of everything else is nice

Wow.The person who owns this room sure is a hardcore otaku.I wouldn't mind having such a room to myself but it seems to belong a guy without life.
Student, Tech
I have a good job, a wonderful girlfriend who supports me in all I do (obviously), I'm going to school and setting my goals as I see fit. To be honest, I dont even have time for TV most of the day. I'd rather be on dannychoo.com with my free time. So...a guy without a life? It's anything but.

He has the coolest girlfriend ever, he should marry that awesome lady and never let her go ^^
I think it's great when your significant other can accept your hobbies. Doesn't need to like them, just accept that they are part of who you are.
BTW awesome room Johno, I wish there were more dakimakura for girls in the market for me to buy them and display them like you do ^^
give me the number of your interior decorator!

Only because Danny asked, I'll be honest.
I guess I'm in the minority here, but "do not want". I think dakimakura are silly and for me the ecchi meter is off the charts. What's the difference between this and a large collection of soft porn put on display? =P
That said I truly believe the idiom of "to each their own."
Personally, I'll stick with anime, manga, and the occasional figure. >_<

Hahahaha... the different is... if you collect soft porn, all in your head is ecchi things.
That's the different in collecting dakimakura, stick poster, figures. Those didn't give me ecchi things in mind. Well I do feel pleasure viewing them, but it's different.

I'd like a room like this if I'm living alone! I'd be just standing around, staring at my wall...

Wow! Most impressive. And most expensive. Those dakimakuras generally run me about $100-200 dollars over here. Though I only recently found out about them.
Though, I mostly own the cospa/comiket towels I do own 2 dakimakura (Reimu and Marisa) by accident (thought they were just really expensive towels). Still, its nice to own a few of these but I'll stick to Megami posters for my wallpaper. Nice room though. A++ ^_^

Wow, at first I saw the beginning saying he moved out so I though 'kudos, he's gonna have a place for himself to do whatever he want!' then saw the part about girlfriend and was very surprised to see she let him decorate the room as anyway he fits, amazing!
She sure is the most kind hearted(in ecchi way ^^;) person I've seen. Don't let her go at any costs~
Student for now
WoW my dream room.

At the moment I have wallscrolls hanging of 1 Bleach, 1 DBGT, 1 YUGIOH, 1 Meloncholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, 3 Rozen Maiden + 4 Rozen Maiden Posters, but I have somehting to confess.... for about a year now I have been constantly buying Dakimakura's and Towels and I havn't hung them up yet because I want to use up my wallscrolls first. I'm thinking about using Walmart name badge pinching clips to hang up my Dakimakura's and towels because these clips won't damage the precious fabrics unlike nails.
artist
Yeah 1 more thing, In the photos what is this person using to hang up their dakimakuras?

Dang I always wanted those dakimakura but they get sold out really fast when I was still in Aussie, as for Malaysia is concern, *sigh* you may need to travel down to Singapore to get the hot stuff. That's what I recently did just to get my hands on Megami mags.

I'm working on having a room like this. I only have 3 Dakimakura's so far. Besides i wanna move to a better apartment. This apartment i live in now accumulates too much dust. I don't want my Dakimakura damaged one bit.

I don't think I've ever seen this many dakimakura in one place. You have my respect.
