I came across one day looking at galleries upon galleries of Itasha cars. The word Itasha (痛車(いたしゃ))describes a car that has been plastered with anime stickers and other form of decoration. Literally means "pain(痛い(itai)) car(車(sha))" and for some reason the kanji for "pain" was chosen as it sounds like the "ita" from イタ車(itasha)which means Italian Car.

Expand your anime love with a few itasha pics:

I added in a new feature that most of you forum users have wanted for a long time and that is a little chatting feature. You may now test it out at the shouts testing page. Also some quick modification to the commenting system for news allows for faster posting.

Happy Chinese new year everyone!

Thank you for those that have donated we have fulfilled our donation goal to keep OtakuChopsticks, RomanceAnime.com & ComedyAnime.com running for another year.

Crap, I just got a call during work that bluehost, my web hosting company, rejected my credit card the past week when they tried to automatically renew it.

I really got myself into a pickle.

I have less than 4 days to renew. I am asking the community (down on knees) please help!!!

Im trying to raise money to keep RomanceAnime.com ComedyAnime.com, and OtakuChopsticks.com live on the web! Link to donate

Renewal total is around 120 dollars (plus tax).

Any amount will suffice, sorry to be asking in this tough economy!
