When the Anime world and Car world collide in Japan - Toyota Yaris Forums

RHDJapan · 10-16-2009, 02:43 AM

Itasha Gathering in Odaiba, Tokyo on the 4th of October 2009. For those who are not aware, an Itasha is a car decked out with anime decals!

It translate to "painful car", which can be viewed as painfully embarrassing for the owner or painful to their wallets. It is a relatively new scene here in Japan and was very interesting to see. There were some nice example of nicely done up cars which also has the performance to match, so you can laugh at them until they whoop your ass on the track. There were close to 800 cars with not enough time to get the details but we did what was possible to show the event as a whole. Just about any type of vehicle participated in the event from VIP, Imports, Classics, K-Cars, Full tuned Sports, Wagons, Family and ECO.
Some may feel that the vehicles have been defaced and some may take a more light-hearted view. One thing that is for certain is that there are alot of creative ways to accent your vehicle with vinyl and many of the designs took alot of time and effort to create.
Hope you guy enjoy the pictures and get some creative inspiration out of them.

More pictures can be found on our blog!! http://bit.ly/12wFV8

The itasha (痛車) has arrived... but can't say if I like it or not... but then again, so are the many trends that originate from Japan.

What is the obsession with under aged girls or young school girls?

ezhacker1 · 10-19-2009, 02:25 AM

sure i love anime, but doing that to a car, unless its just show car, is screaming to people "im a pedophile"

Different fetish for different countries...

We're into big boobs in America and barbie doll bodies....

ezhacker1 - LOL....or that your super obsessed w/ anime..living in an anime world.

ezhacker1 · 10-19-2009, 06:00 PM

also different cultures, just look at the stuff Japan can sell and in America consider obscene. They even found a lawful way around child pornography (animation).

I agree. It just screams, "I'm a pedophile, keep your daughter away from me." Which is what anyone with brains would do.
