I actually really like the sweatshirt, so I might pick it up. Smile The Kawaii Cutie one... yeah, not so much. But I'd have no issue wearing the sweatshirt; not like it'd be any different than my normal, everyday wear (most of my shirts are anime-related anyway, plus the hat I wear now has about 20 anime buttons on it). :p

I thought it said "Kawaii Outie" on that picture, and I was going "whuuuut?"

I feel like this is the equivalent of some of the random phrase shirts I see on Engrish fail pics from Asian countries. This is just as embarrassing.

Doesn't "kawaii" mean "cute" in Japanese? "Cute Cutie?" It's a little redundant. Confused

This is one of the single most revolting things I've seen in my entire life. And I've seen Pupa.

Of more importance is the girl modeling here, when are going to see the light and realize skeletons = not good looking, not sexy, NO, that is BAD.

I often see people say they want anime to be mainstream in America. But now that the taste of it is present, people are starting to realize perhaps this isn't what people want. Most communities decline in quality once mainstream status is achieved.


Indeed. Videogames were way better 20 years ago when few people played. Now that they are mainstream everything is dumbed down. Anime has been progressively dumbed down as well though, as adult anime in Japan is becoming a little less niche than before.

The coolest anime themed clothing still is this:

Wow hold it there, no need to start bashing each other's tastes. If we can't even accept differing opinions and tastes within the anime community, how can we expect non-fans to accept ours?

As for the clothes, I feel like they could have been designed better, but they will have their audience.

I like things that could pass as normal casual wear, yup. LOL I don't even like Evangelion that much but the merchandise is done really well.

I do admit, I hate the orange sleeves. That just ruins it..
