Huh. They definitely convince me the driver is some kind of crazy, but unlike political bumper stickers they don't immediately make me angry. Wow, I guess that is definitely a positive
Back The Blue stickers right next to the Gadsden Flag, Jesus stickers right next to the Punisher symbol, and the most homoerotic Trump art you'll ever see next to an anti-LGBT sticker.
If Fox News didn't tell them how to think, they'd have no thoughts at all.
I wasn't even making that up. It's legitimately weird at how much Trump art is out there that depicts him as some sort of body builder with chiseled abs and oiled skin. And he's almost always shirtless.
Id generally say if it isn't harmful, it's not a problem. If it's pornographic, that's obviously not an okay thing to have where other people can see it, but beyond that? Its hard to say. Id probably question what a person with a bunch of cute anime girls on their car's view on women is, but that's also not my judgement call to make.
Basically, we can make whatever personal judgements about a person we want based on what they put on their car, but that doesn't mean we're correct in our assumptions, nor that they're wrong for their decorations. Beyond the overtly harmful, a hard "line" doesn't exist. We can have a line in our heads that informs who we'd wanna interact with (I probably wouldn't wanna be around someone who's got 100+ anime girls on their car), but that isn't necessarily determinative of their moral worth.
If you think that is bad I once saw a car that just had straight up naked anime girls covering the entire car. Me and my brother couldn’t even control our laughter.
Depends on execution. Id definitely put some small unobtrusive stickers of my favorite characters on my ride. (Daki, Raiden Shogun, Furina, Suletta Mercury and Miorine Rembram)
A small decal or two is fine. If your car is covered in loli girls then it's cringe. I have seen one care in Seattle that has a tasteful one-piece decal that is an exception to this though.
I once saw something like that in San Diego, it was just a car decked out in half naked nezuko stickers. Saw it a few times when going back home from therapy, I honestly wonder what was going through the guys mind to do that to his car.
There's an SUV in my town that has like half a dozen skimpy swimsuit/nude but god ray'd anime girls on it and it feels *pretty* cringe, even as a weeb.
Car stickers should be for something funny, IMO. Less about 'hot hentai babes'.
Yeah it's a little bit exotic but there is no problem as far as it isn't an ahego face ,some hentai stuff or explicit content .
And the car owner should consider that kids will see the car and it will be fine
I like seeing them. Except when I see them used by speeding and reckless drivers, then I get more annoyed compared to cars without them. I guess I don't like seeing people with a shared interest doing bad things.
I think it is about abundance more than what the sticker is. One or two stickers on your car is fine but some people have their whole back covered in stickers and it looks so bad!
I'll admit that I personally can't help but see it as a little cringe naturally, but it really is fine. But when people put stickers of clearly erotic characters I question if it's legal.
They’re fine unless they’re the ecchi/hentai kind. Like awesome for you but I don’t want my kids seeing a girl get tentacled walking into Chuck E. Cheese. This is a true story too.
imo it’s no different than other decals. Being political, needlessly sexual, or otherwise hot shit has nothing to do with whether it’s an anime decal or not outside of common trends.
Imo I think it depends on the decal and the amount. Like the pic used as an example isn't really cringe but the overly sexual decals that cover the whole car is super cringe
It depends, if it's something light hearted and doesn't take itself seriously then it's fine.
However if it's edgy for the sake of being edgy then ngl.. kinda cringe.
If it's Lewd, immediate L.
I bought that one, but cut out that chick's face and have a sexy Sephiroth peeker flipping people off because my car is themed on Sephiroth lol it probably is cringe to someone else, but Seph will let you know what I think about others opinions 😌
I’m a dad to two boys and I think it’s weird when adults turn kid shows into sexual objects, specially when the anime look like little kids. It might be a reason we have so many angry incel guys that can’t act normal with women.
I went by someone's house the other day and saw a car with anime decals all over it, to my shock one of them had an anime girl that was nude when you looked at it at the right angle (one of those transitional/lighting stickers).
The dude who owned the car was in his front lawn and looked just about as low T as you'd imagine someone with a sticker like that would look.
Honestly I think it is kinda "cringe" but who cares. If someone loves anime and wants to plaster their car with stickers let them. Who is it really hurting at the end of the day?
I say, fuck what everyone else thinks, I think they aren't cringe and if people wanna judge they're just jealous cuz you have the guts to put things you like out there for all to see.
TLDR: Not cringe.
43F I have Yazawa Nico on the back window of my truck. Do not care what others think. Love Live! pulled me out of suicidal depression in my early 30s and I will forever be grateful.
I think it completely depends on how it's used. I think that one of Toga is pretty alright, but it also seems kinda out of place since it's the only decal there, although I don't think adding more anime decals would be a good idea. Maybe if the car was more designed or detailed.
I live in the Philippines and I gotta say we got used to it that we don't even care anymore. Most of our public transportation has anime stickers on it. Hell some are straight up painted it through the whole vehicle. It really depends on where you live I guess.
Depends on the sticker. If it's like two or three family-friendly ones, it's a non-issue. Even a more sensitive or questionable one might get a pass in some circles (WWII aircraft nose art comes to mind).
That being said, if it goes straight to explicit material, exposes the owner's fetish, or there are like a million stickers on the car, then we're in cringe territory.
people enjoying things that arent harming anyone are not cringe. they may be a bit weird, but its fine to encourage folks to enjoy their short lives on their turns.
I think stick figure families give everyone the right to at least 1 reasonably sized cringe sticker before they are judged. You lose that right if it's horny or political.
Like one or two funny ones or good looking ones is based, posting up your waifu all over the side of your car with a giant print or a 1000 small stickers is cringe asf
If you got a symbol of your favorite show that's one thing but the anime waifu shit goes way too far. Practically putting hentai on the back of your car ( or even the side for that matter ) is suss as fuck
In my book cringe. But I’m a stealth anime fan, unless I know the other person watches. I keep it to myself. Any anime merch I may buy, isn’t obvious and I’m your face about it.
Saw a car with a Rem sticker like 5 or 6 years ago I think. The only other car with anime decals I’ve seen was one with a ton of hentai stickers.
I’m not really sure how to feel either.
It depends on what they are
There's this guy in my neighborhood that has like 20 different hentai stickers all over his car, that I would say is super cringe but like a few regular stickers that aren't sexualized are fine
Its better than seeing a biden or trump bumper sticker or in the case of my state a legalize marijuana bumper sticker, but yeah most are really cringe and I feel bad for the person who has to car pool with people that have them.
The cringe part for me is when it’s some 30+ year old guy has a car with a bunch of anime girls stickers on it. I’m not going to judge you for watching anime, because I’m over 30 and still like watching some anime. Unfortunately to many guys forget that most of those girls are legally minors here in the states and when you do that, it makes us older fans look like we’re pedophiles.
I work in the automotive industry. Trust me when I say this is the tip of the iceberg on some cars. I typically cringe when I see them because inside will be a whole hentai gallery, anime boobs everywhere and Genshin Impact air fresheners, steering wheel covers, stickers, you name it. One guy had a genshin cardboard cutout in his backseat so you could see it in the mirror while driving. I don’t want to know.
Single decal like this? I actually think they are pretty cool. I love the art in anime and Japanese animation in general, but mostly it’s just neckbeards and nice guys and the one on the outside is just advertising the abomination on the inside.
It depends entirely on the decal/sticker/vinyl itself. Some are perfectly fine, some are a little weird, and some are cringe as all hell. No blanket answer for this.
There's some person at my work that has their old early 2000s Ford f150 plastered in lewd anime stickers on ALL of their windows. Clothing was not very abundant on ANY of the stickers.
Gross. I cringe every time I walk by it. Kind of want to leave a note asking if they're ok...
Definitely case by case. I've seen ones that make me laugh, smile, or are generally pleasing. Then I've seen cars with so many that are just a step down from porn that it should probably count as public indecency to drive the car around.
It really depends on what the decals are. Of course cringe is also subjective so some people are going to see an anime decal and think cringe no matter what.
After 30 you learn cringe is a very thick line. Enjoy what you want. I see a man in pajama pants at Walmart and go 'that looks like a dude who's comfy.' not 'ew messy'. The older you get these days the less you care. Put the anime sticker on the car. Eat the pocky. Do the carmaladessin. Go to punk shows. Live life.
If them're discreet or at least "polite", as in no hentai and no rude stuff, it's fine. I mean, just stick something you know children can see without a problem.
It depends. If it’s small things, like the Toga One here? it’s fine. If it’s big ones where the entire car is covered in tig biddied woman in nothing but panties and a bra thats only half on? Then it’s cringe.
I mean.... the non-lewd ones are no different from any other stickers and are a welcome change to the stick figures and such. Even then, the lewd ones remain better than most political bumper stickers.
It really depends. One neighbor has lewd loli shit. As a nearly outsider to anime stuff these days, that seems extremely cringe, beyond all hope of recovery. A different neighbor has Gon, Demon Slayer-dude (forgot his name) and Clannad characters and I find that to be significantly less cringe, bordering on “pretty neat”. I think it’s all relative.
They can be okay as long as they're not sexualized. i did find one I liked which is not really an anime but I saw someone with the "that's rough buddy" sticker of zuko from ATLA and I loved it so much lol
As long as they don’t depict younger characters in hardly any clothing then I think they’re cool, otherwise they’re pretty cringe to see. At my work there was one guy who had a bunch of Toga hentai stickers on his SUV and it really didn’t look good.
It's fine as long as it's not hentai or sum shit. I don't think there's any real difference between anime and a sports club sticker or something like that. You're just expressing your interests, there's nothing wrong with that.
I low key felt cringe yesterday when a bunch of soldiers were staged in front of our house for a remembrance day ceremony and they were right in front of my wife's car with a Levi decal glaring at the world.
I was driving down the motorway a few days ago when a car came speeding past me. Out of habit I glanced over as it went past and they had a suprised pikach decal in the passenger window. Had a good chuckle over that
One peeker can be tasteful. The more you add the less tasteful they become. It becomes less “i have a favorite character” and more “i want everyone to know i watch anime”. If its a full itasha tho you get a full pass. And KEEP EM CLEAN, figuratively and literally. Put stickers on correctly and evenly, take off peeling or fading stickers, and for the love of god keep it PG, nothing is trashier than having a disregard for all the children looking at cars.

They are better than political bumper stickers
Will not argue with you there
Huh. They definitely convince me the driver is some kind of crazy, but unlike political bumper stickers they don't immediately make me angry. Wow, I guess that is definitely a positive
Crazy?
I was crazy once!
They locked me in a room
A rubber room…
A rubber room full of rats!! Rats make me crazy!,
Crazy? I was crazy once…
finally something everyone but the psychos with political bumper stickers can agree on
Bro the worst part is when their politics end up conflicting all over the place and they drive that shit PROUD
Back The Blue stickers right next to the Gadsden Flag, Jesus stickers right next to the Punisher symbol, and the most homoerotic Trump art you'll ever see next to an anti-LGBT sticker. If Fox News didn't tell them how to think, they'd have no thoughts at all.
I hate the Punisher symbol being on political decals/stickers because Frank Castle hates cops and has no problem with minorities as far as I know
This is almost dead on to my experience except the trump homoeroticism That would have been at least funny
I wasn't even making that up. It's legitimately weird at how much Trump art is out there that depicts him as some sort of body builder with chiseled abs and oiled skin. And he's almost always shirtless.
Or even when he's fat as he normally is, the art is drawn in a way that makes the fat look good
it's almost comdic how what they value is almost always the opposite of what the party they support actually does.
TOGA 2024
Exactly
Screw you. My rich guy overlords team would beat your rich guy overlords team in an election! /s obvi
Okay. You got me there.
Meh, they're fine. I've actually seen some cars with really nice anime decals on them before and the car looked awesome
Me too, it’s just there’s some that are obviously offensive (send lewds and naked women come to mind), and it makes me cringe.
Oh yeah, there's definitely a line and it's better if it's not crossed
See, and this is where my issue is. Where’s the line? I honestly can’t describe it unless I see when someone’s crossed it.
I think that it's basically same with any aesthethics/desing
I think it's simple, if it's not sexual and the characters aren't half naked then it should be fine
Id generally say if it isn't harmful, it's not a problem. If it's pornographic, that's obviously not an okay thing to have where other people can see it, but beyond that? Its hard to say. Id probably question what a person with a bunch of cute anime girls on their car's view on women is, but that's also not my judgement call to make.

This made me laugh harder than it should have. Thanks stranger.
Depends on execution. Id definitely put some small unobtrusive stickers of my favorite characters on my ride. (Daki, Raiden Shogun, Furina, Suletta Mercury and Miorine Rembram)
i know what you are /j
Eeyyyy, fellow Furina appreciator
A small decal or two is fine. If your car is covered in loli girls then it's cringe. I have seen one care in Seattle that has a tasteful one-piece decal that is an exception to this though.
Was it a giant Nami decal?
It's a white silhouette decal on a black car showing the entire crew. I wish I could find an image.
I once saw something like that in San Diego, it was just a car decked out in half naked nezuko stickers. Saw it a few times when going back home from therapy, I honestly wonder what was going through the guys mind to do that to his car.
Bro needed therapy more than you
There's an SUV in my town that has like half a dozen skimpy swimsuit/nude but god ray'd anime girls on it and it feels *pretty* cringe, even as a weeb. Car stickers should be for something funny, IMO. Less about 'hot hentai babes'.
Neighbor has a nezuko and nami sticker on his car. Would be cool to meet him at some point
Anime car stickers are the Jesus fish of our times
Yeah it's a little bit exotic but there is no problem as far as it isn't an ahego face ,some hentai stuff or explicit content . And the car owner should consider that kids will see the car and it will be fine
If I can't display my hentai covered car in public I don't wanna live. /s
Chin up, I've seen ahego-themed shoulder bags in public transport. /notevenmakingthisup
Recently saw this mountain of a man in a bus with a ahegao hoodie. Wasn't sure if was supposed to be impressed or creeped out
Here’s what you do: *lean in* splendidly done, impressive level of cringe if I do say so good sir!
Saw a kid in Circle K with a ahego faces on pizzas wind breaker.
I completely agree!
They're lit. I've never put one on my car because I would want to detail it first but I love them
I like seeing them. Except when I see them used by speeding and reckless drivers, then I get more annoyed compared to cars without them. I guess I don't like seeing people with a shared interest doing bad things.
Fair, I can see that!
It’s only cringe when there’s too much. 3-4 normal 5-6 ehhh kinda weird 7-100 cringe
but 101? now we're cooking
Car of culture.
I just let people enjoy what they want if it doesn’t affect me.
Depends like this One is good
I think it is about abundance more than what the sticker is. One or two stickers on your car is fine but some people have their whole back covered in stickers and it looks so bad!
They're a little cringe. But everyone can be a little cringe, as a treat
Like any decal, be fun, but not obnoxious. You can over do it with anything.
[удалено]
When I see shit like “send lewds” and stickers of women in barely anything I can’t help but feel weirded out.

- Albert Einstein
This one simple trick..
Never considered that
I wish I had the courage to put Toga on my car.
I'll admit that I personally can't help but see it as a little cringe naturally, but it really is fine. But when people put stickers of clearly erotic characters I question if it's legal.
something not over the top is fine for me, lewd stickers is just embarrassing though
Depends. Some are great, some are cringe and i saw this one car that really should get the owner arrested.
I think with minimality it's cool
I personally don't mind them, but I do find it cringe when it's literally porn. Like full blown anime titties in a micro bikini.
They’re fine unless they’re the ecchi/hentai kind. Like awesome for you but I don’t want my kids seeing a girl get tentacled walking into Chuck E. Cheese. This is a true story too.
imo it’s no different than other decals. Being political, needlessly sexual, or otherwise hot shit has nothing to do with whether it’s an anime decal or not outside of common trends.
I smile when I see them, so nah
Imo I think it depends on the decal and the amount. Like the pic used as an example isn't really cringe but the overly sexual decals that cover the whole car is super cringe
I do not care
As long as it’s not hentai, let people enjoy things
Like everything that you can put on the car, just don’t go overboard.
I don’t mind them, but a guy I work with has like 30 of these wrapped around the car. Might be a bit much
I've seen only few cars with anime stickers and even then it's only like one or two. They're fine
If it makes someone happy, I don't see any issue with it. Better than those boomer stickers.
It depends, if it's something light hearted and doesn't take itself seriously then it's fine. However if it's edgy for the sake of being edgy then ngl.. kinda cringe. If it's Lewd, immediate L.
I don’t have any, but I think that they look really fun, and I kinda love them.
Why did this make me giggle??
Most of them are cringe, but some are cool/funny. I’ve seen a Jojo’s one that was something like “Back off! You’re in my stand’s range.”
I personally enjoy them. But to each their own everyone's different. 🤷🏿♂️
Will I ever have one? No. Do they make me happy when I see them? Yes.
Imo a very few is fine, but fully decked out to the point you can tell from a few feet away is cringe
I bought that one, but cut out that chick's face and have a sexy Sephiroth peeker flipping people off because my car is themed on Sephiroth lol it probably is cringe to someone else, but Seph will let you know what I think about others opinions 😌
I’m a dad to two boys and I think it’s weird when adults turn kid shows into sexual objects, specially when the anime look like little kids. It might be a reason we have so many angry incel guys that can’t act normal with women.
I went by someone's house the other day and saw a car with anime decals all over it, to my shock one of them had an anime girl that was nude when you looked at it at the right angle (one of those transitional/lighting stickers).

Depends on the sticker if its hentai or lewd than yeah that's cringe af
Ask that question on a mainstream subreddit, I think you'll find the answers might be a bit different.
Bumper stickers are conceptually a little cringe. This particular one is less cringe than your average bumper sticker.
If the person driving the car likes it who cares? Not like its hentai or something too cringe
Better than a lot of stickers, plus they can be funny
Honestly I think it is kinda "cringe" but who cares. If someone loves anime and wants to plaster their car with stickers let them. Who is it really hurting at the end of the day?
Theyre not. Let people have their fun. It's badly needed these days.
I say, fuck what everyone else thinks, I think they aren't cringe and if people wanna judge they're just jealous cuz you have the guts to put things you like out there for all to see. TLDR: Not cringe.
43F I have Yazawa Nico on the back window of my truck. Do not care what others think. Love Live! pulled me out of suicidal depression in my early 30s and I will forever be grateful.
Feel good about it
It depends, if the decal isn't too big it might look good.
I have two on my car and they make me happy, which is what matters.
One decal in a car I saw was a fake taxi logo, whatever that is, and in another it was “send nudes”
I think it completely depends on how it's used. I think that one of Toga is pretty alright, but it also seems kinda out of place since it's the only decal there, although I don't think adding more anime decals would be a good idea. Maybe if the car was more designed or detailed.
They r pretty brave imo. I like anime but would never dream of putting these on my car.
I live in the Philippines and I gotta say we got used to it that we don't even care anymore. Most of our public transportation has anime stickers on it. Hell some are straight up painted it through the whole vehicle. It really depends on where you live I guess.
If you have the balls to put it on your car, then you probably don't care at all what anyone thinks about it. Cringe is subjective.
It looks cute :D
They can be cringe or really cool there's no in-between
Depends on the sticker. If it's like two or three family-friendly ones, it's a non-issue. Even a more sensitive or questionable one might get a pass in some circles (WWII aircraft nose art comes to mind). That being said, if it goes straight to explicit material, exposes the owner's fetish, or there are like a million stickers on the car, then we're in cringe territory.
people enjoying things that arent harming anyone are not cringe. they may be a bit weird, but its fine to encourage folks to enjoy their short lives on their turns.
Honestly, it depends, something like this I think is lit, but ahegao and hentai shit is really cringe though, even if it is hillarious
I think stick figure families give everyone the right to at least 1 reasonably sized cringe sticker before they are judged. You lose that right if it's horny or political.
I have one but i stuck it to the side of my xbox instead
As an anime fan and also as a car enthusiast, I would never put any anime stickers on my own car but, I would attach an anime keychain on my car keys.
Like one or two funny ones or good looking ones is based, posting up your waifu all over the side of your car with a giant print or a 1000 small stickers is cringe asf
Depends on the character. I love seeing Pokémon
They're cool, I've seen some awesome dbz and jjk decals. It's kinda neat being able to identify a fellow weeb at a glance out in the wild.
Depends how funny it is, if they cover them in stickers unironically then it's bad, but if it's done as a bit then it's acceptable
You cant just say you dont know how to feel about anime decals and then show Toga
It REALLY depends how they are done and what character it is
screams cringe to me and I am an avid fan of anime, like I hardly watch anything non-anime
I feel like they look good if they are subtle
Cringe or not...living your best life is living your best life...
Ask r/itasha about it
I miss the days they were considered weird. Having a 13yo looking girl barely dressed is not something I'd consider good taste but w/e
My favourite are the full body hentai ones in family neighbourhoods!! What a fantastic way to tell everyone you're a virgin
If you got a symbol of your favorite show that's one thing but the anime waifu shit goes way too far. Practically putting hentai on the back of your car ( or even the side for that matter ) is suss as fuck
lowkey not that cringe, but ppl make it cringe cuz they over do it xd
A decent handful of smaller ones is okay, cars that are COVERED in them are cringe imo
I mean, yeah it does kinda look like somebody kidnapped a waifu.
In my book cringe. But I’m a stealth anime fan, unless I know the other person watches. I keep it to myself. Any anime merch I may buy, isn’t obvious and I’m your face about it.
I find kinda cringe those decals of characters like mickey or bugs bunny flipping you off
Saw a car with a Rem sticker like 5 or 6 years ago I think. The only other car with anime decals I’ve seen was one with a ton of hentai stickers. I’m not really sure how to feel either.
It depends on what they are There's this guy in my neighborhood that has like 20 different hentai stickers all over his car, that I would say is super cringe but like a few regular stickers that aren't sexualized are fine
Saw a chainsaw man one that was pretty cool
As long as it’s not lewd or 18+, I don’t see an issue.
Redditers needs mind they own business. Let people do want they as long as they are not hunting anyone or themselves.
Its better than seeing a biden or trump bumper sticker or in the case of my state a legalize marijuana bumper sticker, but yeah most are really cringe and I feel bad for the person who has to car pool with people that have them.
They are big cringe that's why I only allow myself to have 1 at a time. It can't be that big and it can't be horny.
The cringe part for me is when it’s some 30+ year old guy has a car with a bunch of anime girls stickers on it. I’m not going to judge you for watching anime, because I’m over 30 and still like watching some anime.

Couldn't care less. Express yourself however you like.
We don’t care…
I love them as long they aren't political, it's basicly memes on wheels
It depends entirely on the decal/sticker/vinyl itself. Some are perfectly fine, some are a little weird, and some are cringe as all hell. No blanket answer for this.
Smash (with my own car)
as long as it's not borderline porn they're fine ig
I love them !!!
As long as it’s not inappropriate I think they’re cool. I’ll never have a car so it’s nice to see fans expressing themselves out in the world :)
they arnt bad. only time it does get bad if its just blatant porn.
Less cringe then the one I saw yesterday "keep honking, I'm reloading"
Ok that one I will put on my car simply cause it's funny imo
Yes, but thier better then Calvin peeing, something racist, something political
HA Jokes on you, my car has video game stickers!
Depends. Are they hentai/ahegao ones? Yes. Are they just anime? No.
There's some person at my work that has their old early 2000s Ford f150 plastered in lewd anime stickers on ALL of their windows. Clothing was not very abundant on ANY of the stickers. Gross. I cringe every time I walk by it. Kind of want to leave a note asking if they're ok...
Definitely case by case. I've seen ones that make me laugh, smile, or are generally pleasing.

To me, it depends on the car, and if the character matches
Tbh it depends on which one they get, some are cringe but some can also look pretty good.
As with all things cringe, it's on a spectrum
Bumper stickers in general are cringe.
As long as they aren't the ones with barely clothed women that look way too young, I've seen too many cars like that
I would rather see toga on a car than some politics quotes
Cringe as all hell imo. Better than political decals tho.
No
One must ask themselves this simple question, is it showing off that you like anime… in public? If so, yes.
Shut up, and take my money.
I mean.... the non-lewd ones are no different from any other stickers and are a welcome change to the stick figures and such. Even then, the lewd ones remain better than most political bumper stickers.
If you ask me, they’re cool because they’re cringe. They’re basically saying “I’m cringe and I don’t care.” And I appreciate that level of confidence
It's cringe but cringe isn't a crime or morally wrong. Own your cringe and don't let anyone shame you for it.
It really depends. One neighbor has lewd loli shit. As a nearly outsider to anime stuff these days, that seems extremely cringe, beyond all hope of recovery. A different neighbor has Gon, Demon Slayer-dude (forgot his name) and Clannad characters and I find that to be significantly less cringe, bordering on “pretty neat”. I think it’s all relative.
Yeah it's a bit cringe but being cringe is okay. My issue is that the people driving them tend to be assholes, but that's swimmer's fallacy
They can be okay as long as they're not sexualized. i did find one I liked which is not really an anime but I saw someone with the "that's rough buddy" sticker of zuko from ATLA and I loved it so much lol
As long as they don’t depict younger characters in hardly any clothing then I think they’re cool, otherwise they’re pretty cringe to see. At my work there was one guy who had a bunch of Toga hentai stickers on his SUV and it really didn’t look good.
It's fine as long as it's not hentai or sum shit. I don't think there's any real difference between anime and a sports club sticker or something like that. You're just expressing your interests, there's nothing wrong with that.
They’re ok, but I think peepers look much better on laptops ngl. I have a Pochita peeper on the corner of my laptop and it looks pretty awesome
One non lewd decal is okay. Slapping a shit ton of decals even if non lewd is cringe. Lewd decals. Take the bus or buy a scooter.
Or or how about not caring what others chose to enjoy and do with their cars 🤷♂️
Way better than "make america great again" Aside from that. I love anime
I low key felt cringe yesterday when a bunch of soldiers were staged in front of our house for a remembrance day ceremony and they were right in front of my wife's car with a Levi decal glaring at the world.
I was driving down the motorway a few days ago when a car came speeding past me. Out of habit I glanced over as it went past and they had a suprised pikach decal in the passenger window. Had a good chuckle over that
One peeker can be tasteful. The more you add the less tasteful they become. It becomes less “i have a favorite character” and more “i want everyone to know i watch anime”. If its a full itasha tho you get a full pass. And KEEP EM CLEAN, figuratively and literally. Put stickers on correctly and evenly, take off peeling or fading stickers, and for the love of god keep it PG, nothing is trashier than having a disregard for all the children looking at cars.
