Just gotten Horo dakimakura and ‘datass‘ Himari figure from Chara-Ani last Saturday and i felt like doing a post about it, so here it is. Come to think of it, i have been leveling up quite a bit looking back at my previous Dakimakura post. With this new addition i will be having a total of 4 Dakimakuras lying around and while i wont be using 2 of them, 2 Horo able to interchange time to time to slow down wear and tear is definitely a good thing.

That said, i am not sure if i will even go back to the old polyester smooth knitt since the 2 way tricot just feels so much better. It does take a little bit of getting used to from the smooth knit, since its really smooth, though it doesn’t feel cheap like the non smooth knit polyester dakimakura would. As i have linked earlier, 2 way tricot is the general material you’d encounter on swim wears, so that probably would give you a good idea on how it may feel like.

The other 2 dakimakura i am having are single sided freebies from the Limited edition Sora no Otoshimono DVDs, and yes, they are using polyester. If i were to grade them, it would be 2 way tricot > smooth knit > normal polyester. Pretty much, already having Horo smooth knit dakimakura previously, i don’t see why i would want to have these angels take up more bed space than i can already spare. Seeing that they are angels in the first place, it is only logical that i let them fly

Anyways, lets start off with Himari from the anime Omamori Himari. Only reason i am liking her is due to her seiyuu being the same seiyuu as Horo – Koshimizu Ami. Pretty easy to figure it out, but yeah thought id make a mention anyways. And yes, her voice in Himari is very Horo-like

Yes, supposedly you get the limited edition if you pre-order early, and it includes another pair of pantsu lol.

Then we get some attached Chara-ani advertisements:

Really wanted to get this too as i like Misao, from Asura Cryin’.

Not sure who this is honestly.Someone from shangri la.

Here she is unboxed. What a nice pose

Naturally, the first damn thing after unboxing himari, would be to try out that elastic pantsu. I mean, Chara-ani figures are definitely a notch below the other figure makers such as Alter/MaxFactory/GSC/Kotobukiya, and the only damn reason to get her would be that pantsu gimmick.

Aww finger in the way. Well, if you’re wondering, no, it isn’t sculpted

Standard box, with the additional pantsu to change. One is your normal pantsu while the other is sorta a fundoshi/bikini pantsu.

This is the normal one. I actually had the fundoshi one put on and forgot to take pic. And since it was kinda hard to get it on, i’m too lazy to take it off again for the picture.

Here she is in the fundoshi, barely able to cover it

Look at that fancy kitty footwork. Was actually surprised that she was having her hands/feet perfectly placed on the keys as i first set her up.

Well, Chara-Ani ain’t so bad after all, i mean, himari is absolutely cute in this shot XD Well, could use better shading for her skin/hair, and better hair/ear/tail sculpting. Then again, for ~5-6k yen with a pantsu gimmick, this is actually pretty damn good.

Next up is my new Horo dakimakura:

The more ecchi side

The non-ecchi-less-interesting-clothed side. lol

Bottom end of the dakimakura, with the zipper shown.

Notice how the zipper is much wider, especially when compared to my previous dakimakura. And this makes it much easier to fit in the body.

As you can see on the above 2 pictures, very stretchy in material too, and again, makes putting on the cover a breeze.

Oh heh, gotten a little too far in demonstrating the cover material.

Comparing the 2 dakimakuras together. Notice that the new one is longer, yes, its 160x50cm compared to the previous standard sized 150x50cm.

Closer shot comparing the 2 dakimakuras. Wish i could have both at the same time, however bed space is limited, so i will just interchange them to reduce usage wear and tear.

Anyways, I’ve came across a recent upstart in people showing their affection to 2D recently, such as this from sankakucomplex.com (click below spoiler to show):

[[Visit blog to check out this spoiler]]

Lets not forget this from Atalude.net. Admittedly, i have already having plans for a having my own showing of affection to top off sc.com right after seeing it. Quite disappointed that shinn87 from atalude.net not only beaten me on posting it sooner, he totally 1up’d me for the stunt he pulled, and lets remember, it is in Ausfailia after all where DFC is banned wwwwww. Well, hope you enjoy the post, and do check out shinn’s blog that i just linked too, awesome comrade pulling awesome stuff.

Dakimakura, popular topic amongst otaku, very difficult to obtain depending on various situations or maybe blantant bullshit excuse, and, i got one. Thats right, journey through all 9 hells and the seven seas around 4 months of searching after hardening my resolve to acquire such an item, and around/over MYR700 in cash, yes. It is done. The irony of this post, or more accurately, post title? I actually had a pretty bad fever along with cough/flu altogether (on my friggin Birthday too /cry). But of course, my dakimakura is completed, and there she was, by my side as i recover from my sickness.

Now where should i start? While i had everything drafted, i just couldnt quite compile everything altogether into a decent write up for this post. Hell, to be honest it was supposed to be 2 post with the first one being the cover arrival and the other being the completed dakimakura as it took me about 3-4 days after my cover arrived to get the dakimakura body made. Oh, go die in a fire or something Valho.

Right! the beginning. Well, there isnt really one, ive ALWAYS wanted a dakimakura since i got hooked into the otaku world and things broadened with my paycheck, credit card access, and know-hows on online purchasing for anime merchandises. My excuse reason back then, was just simply my paycheck not being fat enough to be stupid and spend ~MYR400+ excluding shipping for a piece of cloth. That, and i didnt particularly had any character that im really really fond of to the point i want to hug her every night to sleep.

What happened down the road? Well theres Jcdish being a poisonous fiend spreading his dakimakura plague around TFM, and me having a promotion with a slightly fatter paycheck, some insanity, and thats it. Unfortunate that i couldnt be the first idiot in TFM to blow a few hundred for a piece of cloth, that obviously went to Jcdish. I do however got a nice idiot number 2 with a limited/exclusive dakimakura from Comiket 74/75

With all that said, i bring you the main event – PICTARS!

 The cover finally arrived around 27th Feb 2009

Why horo as my daki if you may ask? Quite frankly, i dont even know. Most likely from the anime? Good voice acting from Koshimizu Ami prolly played one of the most important factor in making the character “Horo” amongst my favorite. Anyways to continue the pictures…

Dakimakura body obtained on 03-03-09. The day i started feeling sick

And just like in the anime, Horo being the naughty girl she is, taking up half my bed and almost my entire pillow D:

Seriously though, with that kinda alluring pose beckoning, its just so hard to resist. Now if you would excuse me -

Originally i was half naked without a shirt, but halfway down that i figured i might as well get dressed so i dont scare away little of what my readerbase is.
All in all i was laughing so hard while doing it. And if you’re gonna ask, that was “Take 2″.
Special thanks goes to Jcdish for being a poisonous faggot,  Serena from ComicFiesta forums for all her help in making this happen, The furniture guy (i believe, carpenter? lol) for making the body which sadly, i dont know his name duh! (friend of my mom)
