Japanese Buses with Anime Decorations

Only in Japan would you see decorations that would be considered Otaku Friendly. It truly shows how much Anime and/or Manga is a major part of the Japanese culture as of today when you see buses decorated in these fashions. I wish that people embraced Anime as well as Japan here in America. Ahh would things be simpler that way.

I love some of these bus decor, I truly do!

Anime Schoolgirls Gallery

Decided to post this due to boredom and for some reason I couldn’t fall sleep. Sadness…

There is one thing you can definitely say about the schoolgirls in various Animes. Boy oh boy do most of their cutesy actions and personalities so not exist in real life schoolgirls. Schoolgirls in real life can be pretty mean, not so nice and caring like the Anime types. Ah real life and Anime life, if only they would intertwine.

Well enough of my Ramblings, here goes the Anime Schoolgirls Gallery. Keep in mind this is Ecchi and definitely NSFW.
