I love how over dramatic some people on this board are and how skewed their perceptions are. If you bother looking at real news, you would see a girl who was raped at ten was forced to give birth at 11 in Urugay, or an explosion in China killed dozens and harmed 100s.
But oh know, some harmless otaku bought some oversized people cases. That is the series business. |

Now, now; this is a website (primarily) devoted to anime news -- and this article isn't a news piece at all, but rather, an interest piece. With all due respect (and no disrespect implied) may I suggest going to www.npr.org for, ah, more serious discussion. |

I thought they were just selling the pillow case, but I guess if it comes with a pillow, then the price isn't so unreasonable.
Still, that's a lot of pillow. |

Why would you need to be warmed up? It's August in the northern hemisphere.
Is it just the pillowcase, or do they give you a pillow too? I thought it was just the pillowcase, which could then be folded up to be much more compact, but they're carring a full pillow out of the building.
Well, it can be a water-pillow of some sort. It may be even more expensive than this one though. |

It just gets me, all these detractors insulting the very fans who make anime possible. It is quite possible to believe that Japanese fans would willingly spend that much money on a pillow. After all, they are the same fans that spend hundreds of dollars for a couple episodes of their anime religiously. While it is the blood, sweat, and tears of the animators that make anime; the true source of the anime river begins with the fans willing to spend hundreds on their anime.
I am not saying you have to bow down and worship them as gods, but at the very least, do not bite the hand that feeds you. |

Heh some people have too much money than sense.
That's 2 PS4s or 2 anime Japanese boxsets! Then again, those 4 dudes could all share the pillow together at the same time!
If ya bought this pillow, ya wouldn't have to worry about having grandkids.

As a pinball fan, I have to say that you can get an old vintage classic pinball machine in excellent condition for US$805. Often less than that. You know, the ones that make those iconic bells and chimes. Pre-WWII even. Heck, there are a few modern ones that sell that low in good condition. |

Er, ANN did great guides for previous Comikets... Also, the Industry Booth listings come in a very, very thin magazine of about 30 pages. Circle listings come in the phonebook sized book. |

Nice. I would be way to afraid of social repercussion to buy something like this. There are some really bad people out there.

So, in a nation with a big aging population and a low birth rate, they resort to a body pillow from a series that is about resisting the temptation of attractive women that would be interspecies relationships.

A full set of BDs costs between $700-1300 depending on if it's standard edition, LE, or even a higher end LE with a game for example in Japan. This is cheaper than a full set of LE BDs. |
