<p>I&#8217;ve got some awesome friends! Just the other day hanging out with my musician buddies for a little jam session. Sadly I was just a tag along since I don&#8217;t play any instrument, it was awesome seeing everyone rock out on their Guitars and Harmonica. Some really cool guys! Well why do you wonder I bring up Otakus and rocking out and you see this image of two really awesome Dakimakuras? Simple They were Otakus!</p>
<p><span id="more-1637"></span>At least three of them for sure, one I just met and wasn&#8217;t 100% on but either  way! We had gone to a friend&#8217;s apartment, he&#8217;s a huge Saber fanboy, and he&#8217;s got some amazing figures as well! Didn&#8217;t take any pictures of his room, but maybe next time I will!</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a little video i took of them jamming before my battery died on me <img src='http://www.howagirlfigures.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Well again, back to these amazing Dakimakuras! My buddy Charles gave them to me! While he was showing off his anime room, I think he was a little caught off guard on how I&#8217;m not ashamed of Nude/Lude figures and I&#8217;m actually a huge fan of naughty anime figures! He showed me his amazing Saber Lily Dakimakura and I gushed over I how loved it so much and how I wish I had more than just my Kamina. He then proceeded to show me his entire Dakimakura collection and when I began drooling at seeing the adorable Nanoha and Feito pillow cases he handed them to me and said for me to keep them! Now i want to return the favor and I figure i&#8217;ll find something amazing that&#8217;s Saber related for him! Any ideas?</p>

<p>Ever wanted your own custom dakimakura? Ever had a favorite character that it seemed no one wanted to make enough merchandise for it? Or did you ever just want a dakimakura but not like the outrageous price? Then I&#8217;ve got the thing for you!</p>
<p><span id="more-280"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3023/2943588442_dff6ea702b_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been waiting so patiently and i finally got my Dakimakura! Took a bit of time but their were some problems with the actual factory but i got it in one piece and in great condition so i&#8217;ve got absolutely no complaints. When i <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2008/08/24/a-dakimakura-for-girls/" target="_blank">found out</a> about this seller who does custom dakimakuras I was a bit apprehensive. What if the quality is terrible? What if the picture looks bad on it? What if they are just out to rip me off? But in reality i was so wrong. The seller was so kind to me since i didn&#8217;t have an eBay account at the time and i couldn&#8217;t get one. we did the transaction outside of eBay but kept me updated about the status of my Dakimakura every step of the way. The overall quality of this dakimakura is astounding. I had seen some before and in all honesty i expected this one to be a bit bad, i expected it to be more like a regular pillow cover than a full fledged dakimakura. I was so blown away once i received it. It&#8217;s so soft and the quality of the image was not lost on the transfer at all. I know for a fact that I&#8217;m going to be purchasing more from this seller in the future and that this seller&#8217;s work is really quite the real deal.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3188/2943588676_12c552ea92_o.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></p>
<p>Another thing i was very impressed with was the zipper. I knew some dakimakuras come with zippers but i never expected this one to come with a zipper as well. I really do suggest you take a look through his <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Takas-Dakimakura-Store" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/stores.ebay.com/Takas-Dakimakura-Store?referer=');">ebay store</a>, and take a look at the amazing products he carries. Not only does he have Dakimakuras but also <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Takas-Dakimakura-Store_Anime-bedding-sheets_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ198919016QQftidZ2QQtZkm" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/stores.ebay.com/Takas-Dakimakura-Store_Anime-bedding-sheets_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ198919016QQftidZ2QQtZkm?referer=');">Bed sheets</a>. He does accept custom orders as well so just send him a message and he&#8217;ll contact you with all the information he&#8217;ll need for making a custom dakimakura for you as well. I love this Dakimakura and the overall quality, and price make it so worth it.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE: Discounts will be given to buyers of Custom Dakimakuras</strong> who come from <strong>my site! </strong>just enter the code<strong> ESW10094238</strong> with your order and you&#8217;ll get $5 off single sided and $10 double sided Dakimakuras.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve been wanting a Dakimakura for a long time now. But the hard part is that my parents are awesome and accepting of me collecting figures. They are fine with me having the one Full Metal Panic wall scroll with the two nude girls. But i honestly think they would get worried if i had a half naked girl laying on my bed&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-249"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/6969/sample98345e835cb04a938zw5.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>I have this as a wall scroll in my room and my mom was at first like &#8220;Why are they naked?&#8221; It&#8217;s kinda hard to explain open air baths to my mom and why it&#8217;s not porn but &#8220;art&#8221;</em></p>
<p>But i saw a post on Danny Choo from the member news that talks about <a href="http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/6639/Custom+Dakimakura.html" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/6639/Custom+Dakimakura.html?referer=');">Custom Dakimakuras</a>. Now thats is something i&#8217;ve been <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2008/04/02/masa-san-3/">interested in</a> for a while now. So i&#8217;m really glad i saw <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Takas-Dakimakura-Store" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/stores.ebay.com/Takas-Dakimakura-Store?referer=');">this guy&#8217;s Ebay store</a> and was able to order a Custom Dakimakura through him. I should be getting it within a month or so and since it&#8217;s one sided it only cost me $45! Which is amazing since I&#8217;ve stated to many people that I&#8217;d pay upwards of $100 to have my own Kamina Dakimakura. Once i do get it expect a full review and a very happy Dancing Queen.</p>
<p><em><strong>Edit: Finally got him! See my review <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2008/10/14/my-kamina-dakimakura/" target="_blank">here</a>! </strong></em></p>

<p>This is a big time want! I finally started to finish up Seto No Hanayome after <a href="http://scottd.wordpress.com/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/scottd.wordpress.com/?referer=');">Deftoned</a> <a href="http://scottd.wordpress.com/2007/10/02/seto-no-hanayome-final-thoughts/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/scottd.wordpress.com/2007/10/02/seto-no-hanayome-final-thoughts/?referer=');">kept mentioning</a> how amazing it really was. It is honestly really entertaining and fun. It&#8217;s a must see, honestly i don&#8217;t understand why it wasn&#8217;t more popular&#8230; Masa san on it is the best really, I&#8217;ve been dying for a dakimakura for about forever but i don&#8217;t really want to get one with a half naked girl on it, my friends already think I&#8217;m weird for having half naked wall scrolls and figures, i think a full body pillow will push them over the edge. If anything I want this to be made into a Dakimakura, Kamina &lt;3.<br />
