Bringing The Pain: Itasha Culture In America
Long time readers will recall that
aside from being a car nut I'm an anime fan and so I've long been
fascinated by itasha. It's
the Japanese term for cars slathered in graphics of anime or video
game characters and is basically a contraction of “itai
jidosha” - literally “pain
car” because of how painfully embarrassing they're viewed as being.
Ah, normals, they don't know what they're missing...
