Wet weather has prompted otaku to consider the merits of ita-umbrellas (“ita-kasa” or “ita-gasa”), which as their name suggests are umbrellas with anime designs, though as with other public displays of otaku identity there is some resistance.
On the other hand, they may have some advantages over normal umbrellas – some observers have wryly commented that “at least nobody will want to steal it” and “it’s an excellent theft countermeasure.”

clothes will disappear upon contact with water.
they really must have such feature
must have a feature that it would come back. otherwise you'd just buy ano--- wait, no. nvm what i said. BRING ON GENIUS FEATURE!!!
These are so great! I wouldn't have any problem using them or collecting them! They do look kind of girly so I don't know how you guys would make out using one in America.
Mark one up for us ladies!
i keep throwing money at the screen but nothing happens :X
I know no shame, give me THE ANIBRELLAS!
I'll take one Excalumbrella thanks...
Same here. Stupid Internet.
Must...have...Touhou umbrella...
Me too

I would buy a Hentai umbrella and fap onto the character in the middle of a crowded mall.
to go against public decency, as well as the law, to display your love towards 2D... I envy such determination.
You disgust me
TRY HARDER !!
DON'T GIVE UP
Maybe try throwing more than a few quarters?
I don't think NEETs will go outside anyways, regardless of the current weather.
NEETS will go outside; hikikomori won't.
Are we still getting the terms confused?
Some people still have trouble mastering Google.
There's some overlap between the two.
Such as most hikikomori also are NEETs but not all NEETs are Hikikomori.
I wish we could post pics here as this would be so much funnier with a 2 circle Venn diagram.
If there's an elderly Hikikomori, past the age of retirement, then s/he'd still be a Hikikomori, but not a NEET.
So saying that all Hikikomori are NEETS, whereas not all NEETS are Hikikomori wouldn't be correct.
It would be akin to the whole, all swans are white concept, which can be proven as false, because there are also black swans.
So Youkai Moe's description would be the most accurate, because the possibility of elderly Hikikomori cannot be disproven.
There's an overlap, but that is not entirely true. All Hikikomori are NEETs, but not all NEETs are Hikikomori.
Yes, but Otakus will.
It takes money to get one.
It takes GUTS to use one.
Now I want to see a Dragonslayer-brella.
Me too. Talk about a manly umbrella.
GUTS? nah. sure people may look at you but that doesn't matter as much. unless, you're totally spineless about what you love. at the very least be proud of what you bought since no one forced you on it
get me one with seras victoria and/or alucard and i'll buy it
WANT!
My fucking god.
I WANT THAT KANTOKU UMBRELLA
breaking news:
a mysterious wave of otaku deaths incurred this weekend as numerous otakus opened their umbrellas in a closed room
Hey, those are nice.
I want one with Busujima Saeko on it that says "NURERU!"
I so want the excalibur one
><
The Umbrella of Promised Victory?
TELL ME, KING OF HEROES, DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH UMBRELLAS???
Studio Parm, nice. Actually, I recall seeing that Ore no Imouto umbrella posted on their Pixiv account quite a while ago.
Who the hell would want an umbrella so flashy and colorful and ... OH MY GOD they have one of Remilia and Flandre!!! =3
Seriously need to pick one up when I'm in Japan again. But where to buy?! Are there more types of goods I'm unaware of?
I admire this stuff on cars, but on an umbrella it just looks girly.
i gotta say this in a different language to accurately express what i think of this contraption.
"QUE PINCHE FEA ESTÁ, NI GRACIA TIENE, ni una copia bien hecha pueden hacer, pero bueno, hecha en china, que mas les puedes pedir, jaja toda chafa y fea."
it's me, wrong post, it's meant for the fake miku, this one's are ok.
in fact i want one.
Where can i get this?Show me some link?
Deterrent to theft?
I would not mind having that Excalibur umbrella or the Scarlet sisters one.
I want one with nekid Loli on it,... Where are all the nekid moe loli?
down at the impound station. they got recalled after an officer(age 70)was found drooling while opening it inside the station
So Saber was carrying a umbrella all along.
probably why she's always waterproof even after dueling fellow servants under the rain
My umbrella can't be this cute.
Damn - I was only thinking the other day while the rain poured down in Central London, Damn I could really do with an umbrella - I wonder if any have cute anime girls on (I'm not kidding, I really was.)
Saddly by the time one shipped the basterd sun would decide it was finally time to come out.
BASTERD SUN!
then you use it for protect your self from sun
LOL. epic suggestion considering that most of the umbrella's background is white or transparent. not really that much of use if you add the bright colors of the design
rogue otaku would still steal those
