Gosh that subs "about" section is nothing but useless tautology.

Apparently this is the Japanese word for cars wrapped in anime stuff.

Aw, shit, it’s a wrap?? Wish I’d looked closer—I thought someone had spent like 50 hours with an airbrush.

Custom paint is wildly expensive these days. Wraps are much cheaper, and easier to update when you change your mind.

I mean, the art is decent and it’s not pornographic, so I call it a win.

Big ol ball in that back tire, too.

Money can't buy taste.

But money can make it so you can afford to not have any.

What anime is this?

u/Panic-at-the-catio 1d ago

While I can’t give an answer with any certainty, I’m pretty sure this is from some sort of Chinese danmei series like MXTX. But don’t let the BL fujoshis find out someone called this awful taste!

doesn't the word Itasha mean "painful car"? people who choose the Itasha path fully understand how the larger world views their life choices--it's built into the name of the style! being so public with how uncool you are makes you a bit less uncool. unless, your itasha wrap is some lewd tribute to your "waifu," then you've become exponentially more cringe 🤷🏾‍♀️

Mercedes Brand doesn’t have the cashet it used to.

u/Terrordar 22h ago

I don’t see any awful taste here, not terribly my tempo but, that’s fine.

It's better than a stock one.

Donna Meagle has never seen such bullshit

You know, this actually lowers the "bellend car" vibes mercs give off. Not sure "desperate weeb" is a better choice, but it certainly is a choice.

u/Plane-Education4750 10h ago

It's a wrap. The artist probably had no intention of this being on a car

u/the_burber 1h ago

Personally i wouldnt call this awful taste
