Doesn’t itasha mean something like cringemobile in Japanese?

76

u/mrlolelo May 14 '23

Yeah

They too realise how cringy this is

35

u/lukassic May 14 '23

They know its cringe, but has accepted that they like cringe things

Peak enlightenment

u/cozybirdo May 14 '23

It does literally mean "painful car" as in "painful for the eyes and painful for the wallet," (or maybe it just means italian car) but I think they're cool.

u/djseifer I'm just a useless little bunny, only good for my sex appeal May 14 '23

Looks like it uses kunrei-shiki or nihon-shiki romanization (syi instead of shi, zyu instead of zu, etc.) instead of Hepburn romanization (which most Westerners are used to).

u/Steampunkvikng Tsukasa Kudamaki May 14 '23

probably using nihon-shiki romanization instead of hepburn

Guess that deal between the Moriya Shrine and the FIA did work out in the end. So when's the Gensokyo Grand Prix?

I believe this is a Volvo XC70. Interesting choice for a Touhou wrap

Okey Guys let's try to come with situation(for fun) in which this is socially acceptable

u/Chaoticbacon1 Two number 9’s and number 9 large May 15 '23

Someone has money and wants to spend it on something they believe looks good and they want on their car.

Idk ive seen stickers on cars that are way less socially acceptable idk why this is bad

u/NatulalaGaming Weakest Yukari Yakumo Enjoyer May 15 '23

If you don't want to die by getting run over by a car, never ask the owner "what anime is this?"

u/wulfboy_95 May 15 '23

Awooooooooo~

u/[deleted] May 15 '23

Who cares if its "socially acceptable" or not? Look at it go!! Aya car! Aya car! Ayayayaya!!!

In all seriousness, we live a limited amount of time either way. Why be so boring?

Not only that but embracing it and wrapping your car or bike like this could bring touhou-minded people together.

Normally nobody would speak up "hey I like Touhou" to randos on the street. However when this or similar kind of of car drives around it could serve as a beacon of realisation- "we are not alone!"
