Anime-related Apparel

[Anonymous No.]

Do you wear any anime-related clothing or accessories? Why or why not?

I imagine since you guys are all about suppressing power levels you don't, so I ask: what would it take for you to wear something even remotely anime-inspired?


I personally have only a few shirts that I wear and very irregularly. These shirts don't have any characters or titles or phrases on them; they're simply logos or symbols (i.e. NERV or the Gurren-dan banner). I hate most of the clothing that's out there for anime fans because it's often tacky, obvious, novelties and are just poorly designed. Just throwing on a picture of a character with a phrase or coloring it with shadows and flame/ rosepetals and sunshine seems to be the norm. People who make these shirts just seem to be cashing in on whatever's popular with little to no effort.

I would like to see clothing that is inspired by anime, but not blatantly and tactlessly. No big character portraits, no cheesy/witty lines, but something that evokes a series or character and actually shows that some thought went into the design. I think it would be great to have something to wear that means something to the person wearing it without shoving it in the faces of everyone nearby.

I have a shirt with the old NERV logo on it, but I never wear it in public.

I have a Cowboy Bebop shirt that I deem acceptable to wear on a college campus. Aside from that, never.

Why do you mimic the humans? Have you no pride?

Only anime-related shirt I have and I only wear it when I'm absolutely out of clothes and I'm too lazy to do laundry.

I saw someone walk past with the SOS logo on his shirt, but I had left my garrote at home.

Was tempted to get one of those "Gao Gao Stegosaurus" t-shirts that keep showing up on cafepress, but knowing my luck someone would actually ask me about it and I'd have to explain it.

I have a shirt with Ghiren Zabi on it that I wear once in a blue moon, but rarely in public asides from a quick trip to the gas station.

You should wear it more, bro.

I have a ton of cospa shirts, but I hardly ever wear them.

The only trinkets I keep around at all times are the pins of my workbadge, and my Vocaloid wallet strap. I used to carry around a few faggy keychain trinkets, but those kept snapping off unfortunately.

[None !B0hsaO4XA. No.]

I do, but I only have a few shirts.

And I don't really wear them much.

Then again, i don't give a fuck about suppressing power levels, since no one really asks me about my anime shit or comments on it anyways, and I don't get insulted for it either.

I have a NERV parking permit sticker in my car window. Seems to work to; never have I recieved a ticket. Clothes though? No. If it was stealth power levels, maybe, but nothing that could be recognised by a normal humie.

I have a Howl's Moving Castle shirt, black with the movie name on. Got it for free. Most of my shirts are movie related anyway, and Miyazaki stuff is well know enough that it doesn't look out of place.

People come up and talk to me about my shirts fairly often. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but it's certainly interesting.

[Anonymous No.]

I usually wouldn't, and don't own any, but if the apparel actually looks kinda cool without consideration to its relation to any anime or whatnot, then it could be good.

Pic is a sexy T-shirt I'd wear if I had it, whereas if it just said "Higurashi" or "Rena" with a normal pic I'd definitely not wear it (unless it's to some anime club/friends gathering).

[Anonymous No.]

I never go out anyways.

I have a NERV shirt; I think that's it...

[Anonymous No.]

I don't mind anime shirts with the cool logos on them. I think the FMA ones with just the alchemist symbols were pretty classy.

All anime shit is kind of overpriced compared to normal shirts so I don't bother buying them. I'd rather not spend all that money on a t-shirt only to wear it out after I actually use it.

[Anonymous No.]

Theoretically, let's say someone made some really great looking shirts that were critically lauded for great design, which you think look great, and did not have any obvious marks on them that scream "ANIME".

However, you know that it is anime-inspired. Would you still not wear it based on that fact? Are you that worried about people finding out?

[Anonymous No.]

The only one I'd wear as often as I'd do with a normal shirt.

JESUS CHRIST I NEED THIS SHIRT RIGHT FUCKING NOW

[Anonymous No.]

Nope, seeing as most people in the UK do not know that Anime even exists. If I had the time and money to import, or found a stockist, I would without a doubt have more than a few. Pic highly related.

[CurryButt !CIELBE/jzM No.]

Every anime-related clothing item I've seen has been shitsux. If they were designed by someone who is actually competent at their job and for a series that isn't complete shit, sure. I don't give a shit about hiding my power levels or whatever else.

But honestly do they hire those faggot wannabe 'graphic designers' from anime forums to make these or something, because the design on these things is always above and beyond just being 'shitty'.

The closest thing I have is a NERV wallet, and some keychains on my...keychain. ಠ_ಠ

I don't wear T-shirts that much. I'm usually wearing some buttoned-up long sleeved shirt.

[Anonymous No.]

Came with Lucky Star DVD.

I don't know about for you, but my clothes usually cost more than anime ones per t-shirt. Then again I'm a brandfag so it would make sense that it's pricey.

No, because the company who was making the Undine Company ties no longer makes the style I want.

No,not outside. It'd look pretty weird if I walked down the street in a girl's school uniform.

Honestly it all depends on the design. What usually is a dealbreaker is:

Words. Unless the words are actually witty, almost anything with words is usually cheesy and disgusting. Example: >>1655626
Even though that guy likes that shirt, I think the "CULT" makes it completely tacky.

Characters. Using that same Higurashi shirt as an example, the animu face immediately makes it tacky to me. I don't wear shirts with random people's faces on it, so I won't wear a shirt with random animu faces on it either.

This narrows it down to text-less logos. Some good shirt candidates would be the Zombie Powder happy face and the Tsubasa magic symbols. They look cool without screaming HEY GUYS I AM A FUCKING NERD.

In fact you could probably add the words "ZOMBIE POWDER" to the Zombie Powder shirt since it's a completely English title. Most people would just assume you're wearing a band t-shirt.

It's all on a case by case basis.

[CurryButt !CIELBE/jzM No.]

Still mediocre at best, but the Higurashi one is alright.

As for the other one, I mentioned 'for a series that isn't complete shit' so that one isnt applicable ಠ3ಠ

[Anonymous No.]

I have a t-shirt that has "I AM BOSS" on it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1655698
I pretty much agree with every word in this post.
>>1655705
I'd still wear this though.

[Anonymous No.]

There are a few touhou images I'd print on to a shirt and wear.

This is one of them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1655705
Yeah, I'd rather have an "I AM BOSS" t-shirt than a "WAIWAI MINAMI-KE >^.^<" shirt.

[Anonymous No.]

Here is one approved by both old, old /a/ and /jp/.

I'd wear it.

[Anonymous No.]

The usual climate of where I live is not conducive to the fashion of most shows I watch so I can't make a reference unless the place I'm going to is airconditioned.

As for shirts, I actually want the Goldenbaum and Lohengramm Dynasty Galactic Empire emblems printed on a couple of jackets.

I have a stealth style,as I pretty much dress like a butler, vest and all.

[Anonymous No.]

I have this, but I don't wear it often. I would wear it a lot more if it didn't have the text.

[ponpo !0rtxwIjHlI No.]

I'm going to dress like nico and have one of those LED belts and just have wwww scroll at all times.

[Anonymous No.]

That reminds me. I should put this on a T-Shirt sometime.

[Anonymous No.]

I'd wear this out, and wear it proudly.

So you'd rather be mistaken for a kabbalafag or something?

Because of that text, you should never wear that out into public. Ever.
