妻もおっぱいマウスパッド

海外ではまだまだアニメ、フィギュア、エロゲ文化が全く分からないやつがいる。よく、「ダニーがおっぱいマウスパッドを使っている事妻がどう思ってんだ?」とよく聞かれる。
僕の答えは、「彼女も使ってんですけど。ダカポのかわいいココちゃんのおっぱいマウスパッドでね」と。

I hope my mom would stop judging me on my hobbies...I find it parents to be the hardest to convince.

I agree with this lots! I'm in the same rut with my parents.
Which makes me wonder, Danny, did your parents ever approve of your hobby?
Student
I wouldn't care of what my parents think of my hobby is something I like and they dont suppose to have a word on the subject only if I was asking them for money to buy the figures.
I actually dont own any figures but when I finish college I am going to have whole room for figures and anime stuff specially because my wife love them too ^^
btw i am planing in studying Japanese, does any 1 know if is really hard to learn?

Yep thats right. If they know the real price of the figures, I'd be dead ^^"
University Student
XD That is very true, my parents don't know the real price of my figures. I usually tell them its 3000yen for a 6000yen figure. And I told them my 2 dakimakura each cost only 4000yen. Boy, if they find out how much i've been paying for them i would definitely be killed.

Depending on your ages ( those with disapproving parents ) all the hobbies that are encompassed into this site most likely were never around when your parents were children with the exception of one or two anime series like Astro Boy and Speed Racer. I know that when my parents were kids and teenagers rock and roll was the new thing and Elvis and The Beatles were where it was at yet many parents did not agree with their children following any of the rock stars from that time such as Elvis with his hip gyrations or The Beatles with their long hair and eccentric song lyrics, but while I was growing up my parents had no problem with my idolizing rock stars but they don't fully understand our hobbies ( those related to this site ) because they were not around when my parents where young. Being a parent of 5 years myself I am pleased that my child is showing an interest not only in anime but also figma and I am lucky enough to have a wife who shares my love for anime though she is hesitant on the figma because of the associated cost for some of them including the dolfie which I don't own any of them yet.

If your stuffs have a high resell value than the original price, it can be a form of investment.
Control information my fren, shows only ur exclusive stuffs and show them how much it is now in Ebay compared to normal price. Assuming that the price of the exclusive item has gone up.
Count the ROI and show them.

hehe...my parents don't like it but i still buy figures :P
Cost a lot though :(

I completely agree with you all. Family, especially parents, are hard to explain your hobbies to. =/ Lucky my Mom has no problem with my love for anime/manga. lol But if I tried to buy any figures, or anything remotely ecchi i would never hear the end of it.
Congrats on finding someone who shares the same hobbies as you Danny. =]

My Dad would probably think it was a complete waste, but I can't be sure since I don't even mention my otaku nature to him. lol If I bought figures it would probably be my older brother that would give me the most trouble, over my Mom that is. (He already calls me the otaku of the family.)
http://www.amethystdream.org/
See, I've never had this problem. My parents have always been very accepting of anything I like, anime/eroge included. They poke fun at my husband and I ('haha, you collect dolls [figures], you nerds'), but nothing more than that. I seem to be quite the minority..

This is how you convince your parents that your hobby safer :
1. Car modding is exp no resell value of your mod car.
2. If you do street racing, it is a felony and endangering your life and others.
3. If you go clubbing, wasting life on liqueur/booze. Damaging your liver.
4. Womanizing, will create alot of issues and unforseen problems. Or whoring which is a felony.
5. Smoking is committing suicide slowly ^_^ and you are silently and slowly killing others around u.
Toy Collecting hobby, some rare and exlusive figures has at least 30% ROI or higher. Point and case, vintage Transformers toys and others vintage Macross and Mospeada toys ^_^ I rest my case.
http://uguu.nl/blog
When I started collecting anime/manga-related stuff my parents did ask me if I watched my expenses. Then I pretty much basted my room with a boatload of loli-posters (I think the most I had up at one time was 54) - my mom walked in the first time I did that, looked around, and walked out again. My dad walked in an hour later, said 'Wow, that's a lot of posters', and walked out again. That's when they pretty much stopped caring.
Sidenote: they did pay for my display-case, even though it's only a cheap Ikea Detolf, and even a considerably more expensive Lundia bookcase, and they are willing to pay for the largest part of my upcoming room-redesign which includes another Detolf, and several more Lundia bookcases.
Anyhow, after a reasonable amount of manga, Megami Magazines, Comptiques and the like I got a few gunpla, a nice stash of garage kits (which are still unbuilt due to lack of hobby-space), enough PVCs and Nendoroids to not fit in above mentioned display case anymore, I bought some dakimakura... First there were 3 (the fairly well-known Haruhi/Mikuru/Yuki in pyjamas ones), I had my aunt make me a pillow body (20 euros opposed to 70+ for an original was a good deal)... Then things kinda escalated and I'm now at about 25 covers (with more on preorder/in transit).
I kept the one on the pillow reasonable at first - and then I started to slowly put on the more suggestive ones, or turn the less-dressed side up. Right now, I've got this one on it: http://st-momo.hanya-n.net/item/0823.html - did that while they were away for a holiday. My aunt came by a few times to clean - she said nothing. My parents and sister came back - they said nothing either.
I'm kinda starting to think they've given up any and all hope of me ever being normal or having a girlfriend (they've admitted they don't know if I'm gay, straight or asexual - I didn't tell them anything) - but if I ever get one, unless she's seriously into anime, she's NOT going to like my room :)
I can agree with that. The first figure I bought was one of Hatsune Miku, and was in no way scantily clad. My moms first reaction to me asking if I could buy it with my own money was her screaming, asking if i was a homo. Both my parents dislike my interest in anime, but I continue doing what I love.

wow, nice mousepad your wife have there!
i have one myself too, its kanu unchou
don't have a gf/wife yet, so can't answer your question.
i definitely would prefer a partner that share my interest,but its hard to find one though.
and i have a question, how do you clean the oppai mousepad when it is dirty?
dump it into the washing machine?

Your wife has good tastes. Coco's oppai must be very comfortable on the wrists to say the least.
As soon as I get a partner, I'll let you know if she likes my hobbies. Must be nice to find someone who not only excepts your interests but also honestly shares them. Congrats!
Exploring worlds and ways of thought
I'll second that.
My thoughts exactly.
I'm not that big of a social animal, so I tend to discard even people with the same interests, but will let you know if something works out.
Coco's mouse pad is a very nice one. I was thinking of getting Yoko's as my first. Anybody know whose oppai are bigger? :3
Culinary Student
I have the Yomako-sensei and the regular Yoko oppai mousepads. While I don't have the Coco one, I think hers are bigger.
Yomako-sensei's oppai is bigger than Yoko's, though, and looks like around the same size as Coco's.
Thanks. But Yoko's aren't much smaller, I presume? Maybe a little less round, and more squashed?
Culinary Student
Yeah, it's not too extreme or anything (http://i25.tinypic.com/f016pt.jpg).
In terms of comfort, I actually prefer Yoko to Yomako-sensei.
Very nice! XD Thanks, I'll go with Yoko after all.
While we are on topic, do you have any other mouse pads to recommend? It seems as though we share tastes when it comes to that, so I thought I'd ask ^^;;
Culinary Student
I actually just got the Nodoka from Saki one as a birthday present. It's really nice, but apparently it's unofficial so it's $98 USD on eBay.
My other ones are Kallen from Code Geass and Mizore from Rosario + Vampire. Both are great, surprising since the Mizore one was $6 USD on eBay. It seems some of the ones that are dirt cheap on eBay aren't horrible, though I'm still weary.
$6 USD is really a littbe bit suspicious, but if he has a good reputation - why not. Thanks, for the hears up, I'm going to include Kallen in my list too~
I have a job
Boyfriend and I are both into the same things. I can't see myself with someone who doesn't like my hobbies.
He loves my figures (and everything else I own) though, but he wish I'd buy more eroge ones haha xd.

My boyfriend and I are the same way. My thing is more poster collecting from Megami Magazine and such, while he's more into figs. Though, if I had more money, I'd probably get more into figs (haha).

I'm not really interested in dating at the moment for personal reasons, but I'd definitely want to be with someone who shares some of my hobbies. It's more fun to be able to share interests - you can go to events together, and it's easier to understand what each other are talking about.
I could never be in a relationship with a person who disliked my hobbies to the point of asking me to throw stuff out or stop buying it! I have no interest in trading off my hobbies for stability and intimacy.
I agree with this!

Must be nice to find your soul-mate :) I think it'd be rather difficult to fall in love with someone who doesn't at least accept your hobby. They may not share the same interests as you, but at least they should be understanding (although it'd be great you could share it with them too). I couldn't deal with someone constantly ragging on me to get rid of my stuff...not gonna happen. I'm rather stubborn about that. You don't touch my girls *guards*
But I've come to the sobering conclusion that I'm just too weird and quirky to find someone. For instance, most guys might think a girl that collects anime figures of girls and refers to them as "my girls" is a bit strange. Or even a girl that is into anime at all and especially one that doesn't really mind fanservice or the scantily clothed girlies present in some series. Plus I'm sarcastic and generally quirky and very few people get the whole dry, sarcastic humor thing, which saddens me.
Ah well. I've learned to see the good parts in living alone. At least I can have my own schedule and do what I please whenever (on my free, non-work time that is). That's a plus. Plus no one annoys me about my spending habits. Another plus. But I'm lacking in the cuddle sector. That hurts the heart a bit :(
*sigh* Such is life, I suppose.

If anything he finds it kind of cool that I like some more sexy dollfies and figures. I'm sure you can find your cuddle sector one day that won't nag about your girls or your spending habits (your money, your decisions right?)

Oppai-wise, she wouldn't be happy at all if I had something focusing on "eyes" or any of the other womanly bits in my collection. She wouldn't try to stop me or get angry with me or anything, but she wouldn't be too happy.
That doesn't bother me though, because I'm not really interested in that kinda thing... Well, figure-wise anyway. XD
Everyday I thank my lucky stars for me having her. orz

single, can't really claim to know about the matters of the heart, but i would imagine it would be nice to have a partner who understands your passion for once, instead of having to contend with your parents who make no secret of their disapproval of my interest. heck, i would love to be whacked by a girl in tf2 ^^

My boyfriend and I both share most of the same tastes. We usually play Gears of War 2 through Xbox live, although he butchers me T.T Although he is superior to me in basically every game, I still beat him easily in Battleship... huh. Anyways, we aren't carbon copies of each other (which is good, imagine how boring that would be!) but we are pretty similar in what we like. Although I still Maka-chop him for liking Blair, from Soul Eater. :)

I am glad my husband and I share some similar-ish hobbies -- anime, Japan etc :P but obviously I don't build gundams and he doesn't make doll clothes lol! When I just got started on my hobbies I was requested to keep my blythe dolls behind closed cabinets :P (well I am not surprised since the doll's big eyes can be a bit unsettling for some ^^; I know my mom will nag me about how many dolls I have (Not to buy "useless" things :P) but she secretly enjoy making clothes for them the last time she came over ;P!

Well, I suppose you could say I'm still young - plenty of time and all that. :P The thing is that I find it unlikely I'll find a partner who disapproves of my hobby, because I'd never date anyone before talking to them. They'd know beforehand. So either they agree with it from the onset or they were never my partner to begin with. ;)

Hmm, I guess I lucked out in this department. My girlfriend is an otaku just like me, she even enjoys bible black (not my cup of tea personally but what you gonna do), so she doesn't really mind that I play the occasional eroge, buy artbooks or even have posters on my walls (though the rule is that the posters I put up should be awesome, then again why bother putting them on your wall if they're not awesome, right ? ). She's actually the first person I'm dating that understands my hobbies and isn't against me buying figures and such n_n.
Have no wife/partner... in my life yet (I'm single, 21 years old), but it must be really nice to have someone around you who not only excepts your interests but also like it and shares them and her hobby with you (or something like that... ^^) soo you very lucky to have person like that in your life indeed (or your wife is a very lucky women who have some person like you, aroud her... >< Now I know that your wife like your hobby but - You like your wife hobby Danny? ^^).
I hope I find someone like that in my life to... but still hard to find. ><
My parents like my figures (not big collection) and they "don't hate my hobby so much" (love to anime/manga/figure/"useless" things etc... ^^) - especially my mom like my Golden Darkness Yami GSC (also I like her to ^^ BTW), haha She has good tastes.

Well, if I ever get a boyfriend, he better at least accept the fact that I collect figures. >:| Or I'll punt him to the moon... or something like that, lol. Would be great if he collected as well, haha.
At least my mom's pretty accepting of my hobby. I can tell she doesn't like it though I think it's mostly because of how much I spend more than the hobby itself. ;; Though I'm sure some of it is because most of my figs happen to have huge racks or are dressed slightly scantily, haha. Can't help it if there's not a lot of male figs and the female ones are usually dressed provocatively. I tend to stay off really ecchi figures because of that.
???Confused???
Don't have a GF, but hopefully I'll find someone with the same hobbies...some day...my parents are pretty accepting of me having figures and such, except they just don't like the fact that they cost so much and there's no place to put them...

So that both of you could get the same excitement when you get nice goodies, which is must be fun~
It's rare to find someone like that here.
Even my brother, who was have the same interests in me, starts to have a dimmed light about this...
Well, it's not like I want to be togethe with another otakus so badly, but I think it'll be better if there's someone who share the same line with me.
If I don't have anyone with the same line with me, how am I supposed to show my achievements to anyone?
Surely my parents will just smiling at it, trying not to bring me down.
But if there's someone who really get excited together with me, that's all that I need.

My wife is awesome. She actually encouraged me to go to Otakon this year with three of my friends and she goes to any local shows/cons we can make it to. I display all sorts of stuff and she has me make my X-mas list as early as March so she can hunt down figures for me. I got really lucky! She likes to collect Walt Disney Classics Collection statues so our house looks like a freakin animation museum! She is also a huge Ah! My Goddess, Haruhi and Tora Dora fan. (She likes watching Kanokon too...lol!)
Speaking of hunting figures..... I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions as to where I could get my hands on an Asakura Ryoko FREEing Bunny. lol I know they are getting harder and harder to find but I really want one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I like that in our relationship we are able to share quite a few interests. He really got me going into the serious/classic anime (Studio Ghibli, Cowboy Bebop) and, eventually, into MMORPGs. And he supports my wish to take up fandom crafting - sewing plushies, etc. We do have diverging tastes but we are happy to support each other's fandoms.

I like Anime, figures, gunpla, games, and military kits, my wife likes....shoes. But we still love each other to bits. It is really not necesary to have similar hobbies, its just a matter of respecting each others likes and dislikes (something that was explicitly explained during our wedding). Just so long as the hobby does not compromise the family's finanacial requirements, it's fine. Thankfully my wife puts up with my messy hobby room.

My hubby & I has somehow a same type of interest but I'm more into anime figures while he's more into western figures like game, movie, comic characters :D
We do watch anime together though! I'm the 1 who introduce him anime at 1st haha~
My fiance and I met because of our interest in anime/manga and Japanese culture. So obviously we share a lot of this hobby together. She was a little iffy on a few figures (mostly the ones that were characters clearly undressing), so I stopped getting anything like that. But she actually encourages me to buy a lot of figures because she likes to use them as references for cosplay! And we had already picked Japan as our honeymoon, even before we seriously started talking about getting married. So I'd say we ended up a pretty good match.

I've hidden the fact that I'm an otaku to most guys that I've dated (I'm a closet otaku XD). Current boyfriend (since 3 years ^^) is cool with my hobby and we will watch some anime together from time to time (as long as it's an anime with lots of action or a funny comedy and not too girlie or childish). He used to watch Dragonball Z when he was younger, and now we are watching Dragonball Kai together every week as it comes out.
He doesn't collect figures or buy any anime-related merchandise though, but he's really into computers and video games. He's really into Street Fighter games since he's young. He came with me to an Anime Convention ( I had to force him just a little so that he comes with me hehehe ) and started kicking ass at Street Fighter in the video game room once we got there ^^.
So I'm the anime otaku who collects anime dollfies and figures and plushies, and he's the computer geek and video game addict. I think we make a nice balanced couple ^^.

My late husband and I both loved animation from all over the world, and he tolerated some of my other geeky tendencies towards tech geekiness and miscellaneous other Otaku subjects. He had to: as a music geek he had his own kind of obsessions which I tolerated.
I don't know what he'd make of my current dollie geekiness. It gets scary at times. I have a stack of plastic drawer things in my bedroom that's as tall as I am and filled with 1/6 scale doll goodness. And now that I'm busy acquiring things for Yumiko, the Dollfie Dream who owns me and the Obitsu boy who's on the way so that Yumiko has a hot rocker boyfriend who attends the same film school as she does, there will be a new high-rise going up of 1/3 scale storage.
Oh yeah, my current BF is not only as geeky as I am but he was the person originally pwn3d by Yumiko. He lost interest. I ninja'd the doll. (with his permission, of course.) It's LUV. ^_^

The opnly problem would occur if you developed a new interest after meeting your partner and they disliked that interest. Bit more of a tricky situation then.

My parents don't approve of my hobbies, but they know that it's the industry that i'd like to be a part of someday, so they support me. In that sense i'm very lucky.
