Have you experienced this before?
You are oustide at some place far away from your computer and unexpectedly see a cartoon or anime girl on a random screen or poster. The girl appears a lot cuter than she actually is and you feel like having an heart attack from the cuteness.
If you had seen the same picture online you wouldn't look twice.
picture very related
I cringe when I see anime stuff outside
Isn't that Index? Anyway it's nowhere as cute as you purport it to be.
...
must hide powerlevel at all cost right?
I know that feel.
>Have you experienced this before?
>You are outside
Nope.
no way I'll ever join these degenerate people
>Anyway it's nowhere as cute as you purport it to be.
Maybe read again:
>If you had seen the same picture online you wouldn't look twice.
Recently experienced this in a lecture when the professor plugged his laptop in and had some anime girl wallpaper. He's quite young, but it was weird to see this at university.
I don't think that happens outside of Japan and maybe a few other places in Eastern Asia, barring ads and such or conventions where it would belong. I know I haven't anyways.
This was in Texas.
that professor is a gangster
>Tomoyo
Good taste.
>some anime girl
What the fuck man, you're supposed to be able to identify every anime girl in existence. Plus it makes the world of difference. Describe this anime girl.
Google "spotlight effect" and you'll see that even if you don't hide your powerlevels in public, no one around you is going to give much of a shit.
Everybody is just as egocentric in public as you are.
Does he have good taste?
Trust me, I tried to find out who it is, but I failed.
The girl has pink hair, was sitting on the right side of the image holding an apple in her outstretched hand. She had short bangs flowing over her shoulders a bit and looked rather mature (not childish). I think there was a moon in the background.
It definitely wasn't Holo (in spite of the apple).
It also was not a 2hu I would recognize.
Google image search for the above terms (anime girl pink hair moon apple) couldn't find the wallpaper.
Maybe it was some deviantart stuff or something else from a single artist.
When I see anime shit on youtube since I tell it t get rid of any anime related crap. I only care about user´s opinion on anime.
It looked a bit like this, but this is not the exact pic and the girl looked different.
The image was more stilized and as I said, the girld had an apple in her hand.
Are you sure it was a girl and not that pink-haired dude from penguindrum?
Good idea, could be the case, he looks pretty girly.
Thanks for the lead.
Was it this?
This effect clearly doesn't work with Sup Forums because they hate seeing other people show off their powerlevels.
No, it was 16:9 and the girl/guy was alone sitting on the right, looking to the left with the apple in the outstretched hand (like in your image).
All this guessing. Now I feel like joining in. We must find the professors waifu.
...
Stuff like that really feel like a fucking portal to another dimension.
When I'm outside because of my job, I never think about anime. Not by choice mind you, I just don't associate anime with real life. It's like my little secret thing that I enjoy when I am comfortable at home and have my privacy.
When I get confronted with anything that is drawn and looks cute IRL I instantly feel it's way cuter than it actually is. It only works with drawings too, I don't see myself drooling over animals or 3D pigs of any sort like girls or babies.
I have never seen a real character from a show outside. At least not unexpectedly. Must feel awesome.
This photo was taken by an user at a station in the Netherlands several years ago now. It's a shame I never got to see in person, apparently it got removed fairly quickly. At least whoever put it there had good taste.
...
I've never actually brought anything anime related outside before, and I've never seen it in real life in a while. Last time was a pokemon poster on a dunkin donuts when I was a kid. Bur I don't get the whole powerlevel stuff. Who cares what other people think? It's not illegal, so the only thing you could lose is the good opinion of normalfags. And that really shouldn't matter to you unless you want to be a normalfag yourself.
Last Wednesday I saw a Camaro with an anime sticker on the rear bumper. It has like 6 or 7 girls on chibi form but I couldn't recognize any of them, since it looked way too small two cars ahead of me and I didn't take a photo cause good boys don't use the phone while driving.
...
Owner's name is Shawn, cool guy.
That one train with OreImo on it.
If I ever get a car that isn't shit I'm going to do something like this.
Nice potato camera
How do you know this?
I saw a guy with a Kotori keychain and a longboard with a Kotori sticker on it at my university's engineering department's student run computer lab a couple of weeks ago.
I just kept staring and thinking of what to say but I was worried about sounding patronizing if I say "Nice keychain man" or "Maki is better"
He left before I could say anything. I wish I had. Maybe I'd made a friend. Fucking ass burgers
fucking normies
reee
thats in japan though
>The girl appears a lot cuter than she actually is and you feel like having an heart attack from the cuteness.
>If you had seen the same picture online you wouldn't look twice.
I've experienced this before, and it's a good way to get me to look at an advertisement or buy some product I wouldn't otherwise have done.
I suppose it's similar to how a normal person might respond to an attractive female. Except I've imprinted on 2D instead, so this kind of encounter is the closet thing to meeting a cute girl that can happen to me (as far as my subconsciousness is concerned).
I saw a Highschool DxD car in Sydney about a week ago.
I talk to him over instagram; he has a mazda rx7 as well and so do I so we started talking, always loved his honda as well.
Itai thread?
I like how you can tell the front bumper was replaced and the owner couldn't be assed to redo the paint job. Either this guy is a terrible driver and rear-ended someone, or someone with better taste intentionally backed into his car.
Saw this in LA
I recognize that parking lot. Judge John Aiso?
There was an itasha car show during Obon. Pic I took
this
Anime never.
That building looks beautiful.
Nice potato comment.
...
Found it again. Lain was on this wall from 2011 until 2015.
I'd love to do itasha on my bike but it's a good way for it to get pushed over.
I highly doubt the person who owns that car cares much for 3DPD...
What kinda bike are we talking about? You might be able to pull it off if you have a crotch rocket.
What happened then?
Did they erased it or drawn orver it?
They gave the building some fresh paint sometime in the last year.
caught in bay area, lots of itashas here.
there's always people taking pictures of em
The wall looks nice, the building itself it's better but still bad.
What is it used for now?
No idea what the building is. I just happened upon the original graffiti when I was visiting Sao Paulo in 2012. Since then I have been periodically checking up on the wall through street view.
Yes i've experencied it. A few years back i had that tendency, to put much attention when something anime related poped out outside. Now i do the sane thing and i try to ignore it as much as posible.
>back when index was still being animated
those were the days
season 3 never
Yes, When I attended a Japanese airshow, They have a gunship with anime decals on it.
One of the pilot on my carrier have a picture of Holo in his cockpit.
I have that nerv logo on my car. I like it because its subtle.
stop lying, that was your daki.
too cheap to pay for a seat for your waifu you unfaithful fuck.

I went to Disney World with my family last summer
We were in the Japan part of Epcot going through the shop and at the very end where my sisters were coloring and getting their bears stamped, I saw another section. I just saw the part that said History or Museum or something along those lines. I ask my dad if he wants to come take a look too, because history is always fun.
We walk in and its all this shit like Doraemon, hello kitty, among other things. It turns out that it was an exibit on the history of Kawaii. My dad was just confused and left, I followed as not to seem autistic. I'll be honest I wanted to look but can't show my power level, so I just stared at the rock garden for a bit, which was really nice for that section
>history of Kawaii
herp
Just looked it up, it was actually called "Kawaii - Japan's Cute Culture"
I only saw Japan and Culture and figured it would be history
Why they did this I'll never know. There were a few old couples just sitting in there too, depressed like they would be anywhere else sitting down but this time they really stuck out
derp
This is terrible in a way i can't totally describe.
Last summer? Either it was earlier than that, or that exhibit's been up waaay too long. I remember someone sending to Robin Williams and getting his comments on twitter.
Those are some kawaii rocks right there.
Not a fan of the series but would still cop on purpose in hopes that it would belong to a qt3.14 so that shenanigans may then occur and thus our life together may begin.
Seen a white Jeep with a red NERV logo on the door in Toronto a few years back. Looked pretty cool, unlike most of these cars.
I think most people who put this shit on their cars have zero tact, or artistic sense at all. If you're gonna reveal your power level like that, at least use an image thats high quality, which flows with the contours of your car, or somehow 'works' with it.
>Showing feet in public.
Lewd
I'd lick it.
What about that town in spain that's for some reason made up to look like the backgrounds from Soronowoto?
Dear god what is that mannequin
what are you talking about? Are you implying the owner of the daki could ever be more desirable than the daki itself?
That's one of the more tasteful itasha I've seen. Reminds me of a motorcycle I saw outside Comiket one year with Fate from Nanoha done up in gold on the black body.
Bet you a million bucks it's some Takashi Murakami piece of shit.
...
>someone in the official chat at work has an anime girl avatar
>from Monogatari of all things
>it's a chick
Spaniards are secret weebs from ancients times
>Decide to hit up the Uni's anime club for shits and giggles
>Showing's in the same lecture hall where I bombed my Calc II midterm
>They're showing Ping Pong and Azumanga Daioh
And? Nothing wrong with that, assuming he picked the correct girl.
Now's your chance. Invite her to see Kizu III next year.
...
>someone has an anime avatar
>ask them about it
>they say they have no idea what it is, it just looks cute/sexy/whatever
REEEEEEEEE
No. Thank god I live in a country full of normies.
Where i live there is a donated ambulance and it has eva-01 and umbrella stickers it looks nice
A coworker has an anime character keychain hanging from his rear view mirror, mixed in with a bunch of other stuff.
A few months after he started, he hid it behind some of the other keychains in the bundle, but I never could figure out the character.
It was a girl with blue hair, two red lines on her left cheek, a black dress and a gold sword. I tried googling and checking boorus but never found it.
I also saw a skinny dude wearing a t-shirt with a full body shot of Rei Ayanami walk into a jack in the box with a girl once. Weirded me out more than anything.
I have never been outside, what's it like?
Its shit and highly overrated.
lame, also all people are horrible
It's magnificent and magical a third of the year, and fucking loud, crowded, searing hell the next.
explain yourself
We blogging now?
A fat 26yo virgin from my last workplace had the most visible desk out of the whole team but for some reason he just didn't care. He had some sexy Homura wallpaper with very little clothes on her. He sat next to a corridor which lead to the bathrooms and the kitchen area, so pretty much 90% of the office walked by there. A few days later one of the managers asked me to speak with him and it wasn't a very comfortable talk because I had to confront him like a normalfag (always hide your powerlevel).
