When the Anime world and Car world collide in Japan
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. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2612/...c5c60b0137.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2449/...8909a92a3e.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3492/...d07951dc75.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3431/...863f6a563f.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2563/...27a8376d9f.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2520/...4c943aec87.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/...e471b80dc2.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2618/...1c42d8e128.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3070/...f550223bb6.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2557/...c2c8b4e3ba.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3485/...e0d27bd4b0.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3458/...1482b063b5.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/...165e28e597.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2448/...b4b473f8ca.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2525/...c2ebb1dac6.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2577/...a411c00214.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2564/...eeb1aba75e.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2556/...191fc0c32a.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2657/...cce6b986ab.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2557/...8a51492311.jpg More pictures can be found on our blog!! |

|
The 10th pic up from the bottom looks like it has mb's on it
|
The japanese are always stepping outside the box.I have seen alot of those movies to.
|
Very Very cool, some of those cars look pretty well built too. The "Rei-mobile" does scare me though.

I don't know why this is the craze now in Japan but it is. I heard they actually spend countless hours hand cutting some of the vinyl! that's crazy. Interesting thread though.

I would have thought it would have been a bunch of weeaboos (when I first seen this thread) but I guess not...

Nah dude, weeaboos arent cool enough to own cars. http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x...aa/weeaboo.jpg Yes Irax I have seen it, pretty hardcore. |
Cool video. lol
|
I think its pretty cool, but I pray that American high school kids with hondas and cavaliers dont get wind of this >_<
|
Some of those cars have really nice vinyl work
|
I actually like anime drift vinyls on jap cars but that shit there is just too much pedophile porn style.
|
thank you for all the comments! We have some coverage of the Tokyo Motor Show also going up!
|
with the exception of cowboy bebop, i don't care for anime. but i'd rather see people anime the shit out of their cars, than this...

JDM as Fuck

Nomuken molesting one of the cars at Daikoku Futo.
|
is there somewhere where i can submit an image and someone makes an itasha vinyl out of it?
|
damn that's dope, the combination of two of the greatest things man has to offer!
Probably the only combo that tops this is mixing food with sex, and I think the japanese have that too. The US needs to step its game up! |
I like both anime and cars but this scares me...
