For years, a firmly stuffed dakimakura has been the “waifu” of choice by ronery otakus around the world. But the implacable march of technology has seen even this staple begin to be displaced:
Is this the end of the dakimakura? Needless to say, the endless clones of Nene are cheap, offer simplistic interaction of more than sufficient quality for the average otaku, and can even fit discretely into pockets, offering pillow toting maniac a chance to shed their burdens.
Only in one crucial respect are they lacking…

oh my... a catastrophe.
This must be the Otaku Saturday Night Fever...
...where they get together, sing and dance to their favorite anime songs and engage in Love Plus tournaments and random cardboard character hugging.
...and wife sharing ^^
ooo. Looks like I hit a nerve. Haha
Guess some take jokes seriously =)
You didn't hit any nerve. Your comment was just retarded. It made no sense and wasn't funny, which is why it got marked down.
Wow, I didn't know all comments on sancom need to make sense and be fuuny. >.>
Don't worry. They're just all butt-hurt at being shown the reality that it's all a sad sad thing.
If all the comments here were sensible and witty, they'd all be voted up. People just vote up comments they agree with so stop complaining.
Now you know damn well that's not true. I've seen truly witty comments be down-voted before. Regardless of how witty something is, if a select few don't like it, it's down-voted.
Lol. It's not like my day depends on which comments are considered drivel...
But it's nice to see people care to press + and -. I rarely do it...
Sounds like a nice meeting.
...
I think I would prefer to hug dakimuras, though.
I would not.
talk about desperate house men
What happens if they have a pillow fight?
Wife beaters?
Communal Wives?
Pillow Orgy?
There's a bottle of green lube on the floor.
That's a bottle of juice or something.
Or fruit scented lube. ^_^
looks like lotion
green tea.
It is indeed a catastrophe.
In the old days, men were content with owning a pillow with their waifu on it. Any conversation they had with their waifu was all in their head, meaning they had to create the conversations themselves. This allowed men to strengthen their creative minds. One was able to communicate and interact with their waifu for hours on end, without so much as a peep.
Now, they rely on technology to do the conversations for them. Instead of creating billions upon billions of conversations and topics for one to interact with their waifu, they rely on others to create a set amount of conversations and replies which to give. The interaction with the waifu therefore crumbles, as you can only have the same conversation so many times.
Divorce rates skyrocket because they refuse to come up with conversations themselves and grow tired of their waifu, quickly replacing her with a new one within a matter of months. Their minds become sludge, no longer able to think for themselves, waiting for the cute voice to come out of the speaker instead of producing one in their mind.
I, for one, think we need to go back to our roots in waifus. Forget the man who says we only have three options to reply to our waifus. For me, I have over a billion replies. I can enjoy a nice walk on the beach or even take a hike in the mountains without being told I can only at a certain time. I can have discussions about politics with my waifu instead of only being able to talk about high school, which I have grown tired of over the years.
I propose creating a liberation front to help men escape the terrors of technological waifus and return to the humble physical waifu of which one can hold onto and love. This group shall be known as the Diacritical Individuals for Caressing Corporeal Spouses, or DICCS for short.
Who here is with me?
Why not just use both the DS and dakimakura for hugging and interactive action!
That would be cheating, good sir. For Shame!
so... ... ...sad.
So, what's wrong with the second photo? :/ I see an improvement. No more ronery bolsters.
You could still physically hold a dakimakura, but this technology=full 2D interaction! Now they shall be strayed further from reality...
but with the 3ds we are getting the 3'rd dimension back.
wait... so they sleep together with they're waifu's in the same room? imagine what's going on at night O_o
I perfer the pillows ones. They look better. Besides i like the idea of holding Suzaku from code geass naked in my arms.
Suzaku is not a waifu.
the new pillow is also more... interactive
Dakimakuras will clearly remain first choice for the coming years. Well, at least until otaku can buy moe~ androids a.k.a. Yuria 100 Shiki dutch wives for all their needs.
It will be reborn as soon as OLED evolves enough... then we'll have animated dakimakuras!
This will also be known as the beginning of the end of the human race.
"This will also be known as the beginning of the end of the Otaku race."
Corrected.
OMG now the west is infected with pillow girls? or is that just a white guy being white?
Dakimakura still wins - cheap, soft, can be changed anytime, there are lots of covers
The guy with the cardboard must be really ronery over 9000 :)
^ Can't argue with that truth.
OTAKUS!! YOU HAVE BETRAYED YOUR ANCESTORS!!! how could you chose a cardbox cut out over over A SOFT,SEXY,DELICIOUS,FUCK-WORTHY, DAKIMAKURA!!
Am starting to think Love Plus+ is dangerous .-.
When Yuria is created wouldn't then be the end of japan ? the birthrate is already low o.O.
it would be the end of the human race
The cardboard photo cutout is much better since its easier to mount one of those hand held things to it and its almost exactly in the right place.
It takes a man to bring a dakimakura out in public!
His name is Melonpan and he made an awesome photo tour of himself carrying around his Nia-Dakimakura through some Swiss city. Sadly, his blog crashed and all the data (years of anime reviews and funny commentary) including the backups was deleted.
Only very few pictures survived.
http://s1.directupload.net/file/d/2217/3zdn5wx8_jpg.htm
He is truly a great man. More people should follow his example and be proud of their waifus!
Good old Melonpan:

Probably one of the many unsung heroes of this modern world unaffected by social stigma and goes and does what he likes... It takes a lot of spiral power to do that. No wonder his waifu is nia.
I would admit, if your brave enough to carry your waifus with you anywhere and not give a crap you are truly a example to follow. Makes me wonder why so many people are so use to copying everything society throws at them. =\
Because not all of us are sad and pathetic otaku freaks.
i'd rather hug a real person
Disgusting.
3D PIG DISGUSTING < 2D CAKE DELICIOUS
Enjoy your lack of reality.
I've been a constant user of sancom as an anon, and this kind of thinking still grinds my gears.
If you are here then it's a good bet that that won't be happening anytime soon.
Just saying...
I'd rather hug a real version of mai waifu.
Wouldnt we all...
depends on who you hug... >:)
