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!! |
Ya know, I kinda like it. Half of those cars look pretty good with anime on it, I like that silver WRX with its graphix. Granted I wouldn't do it to my RX-8 or any car that I owned, but for some reason those cars being in Japan, it just fits.
I think I rather see somebody here in the USA put anime on there car, then plaster it with VTEC or product placement stickers of MODS they don't have under the hood. All you see are posers , very few genuine people have the stickers to back up the mods that are suppose to be under there hood. :Wconfused |
