Dakimakuras anyone?

Oh I was/am too lazy to make an account and have to log in to see the pictures.
Also, anyone else feel that SMJ has been moving super slow over the last few weeks?

In what way? I never really notice much changes from before.

And Willow, any news on your carnelian cover?
I got no mail from Yokotta whatsoever.

Last I asked, which I guess was 5 days ago now, I got told that "The item has not arrived yet. It's one person sending hundreds of items, it'll arrive in waves, not altogether." after mentioning it had been on mandarake/yja to them in my question.

And here's some pics of BWStore Sena and of the Rin one I got a while back when I had no proper camera.


Sena is the first one I've gotten from BWStore, must say the packaging is really nice like you guys have said, though I noticed it says it's 4way tricot on it rather than the OZ-01 material it was changed to, so I guess they printed out the packaging before the change or forgot :p As for the cover itself, the material seems pretty nice, but the print quality is quite poor on it. It's okay from a reasonable distance (like in these photos I think it looks fine) but from upclose it looks very bad in some spots, particularily on the maid side. Maybe it's because OriginZero are in a rush to catch up on all their orders after the delays, but yeah it is rather disappointing quality. :(

cospa is coming out with a Sena it seems. Haven't seen it on any shops yet, but I'll probably order it when I do see it. I like cospa's dakimakura. They tend to lean toward the sexy revealing side, which can be nice compared to total nudity. :)

Yeah, the packaging of B&W Store always impresses. The Sena looks really nice from the pictures; shame if the print quality isn't any good and I hope my Laura turns out better. :/

I like tame covers every now and then myself, but I've never been a fan of Cospa/Chara-Ani covers myself. Unless the image is really good, I don't usually consider them because as a whole I feel the art is less detailed. Of course I haven't ordered one in quite some time, and they've really ramped up the the number that use 2WT these days, so maybe I'll start looking into them again... but with my finances I have a feeling I'll focus on circle covers. >_>

Yeah the Sena one is quite nice looking, as have been a lot of their recent ones. I always feel a tiny bit disappointed when they come though since the material's not as nice as 2way tricot, and the image tends to have very rough art strokes for a lot of series, like a picture for anime blown up to dakimakura size rather than one specifically drawn for dakimakura in super high res ;<

Yeah Shashin I hope Laura is better for you, the Sena is fine if I want to hang it up, but I wouldn't use it with a pillow as at hugging range the problems are far too obvious.

I had mixed feelings about the 4WT they used; it wasn't quite as smooth as the usual 2WT but it felt a bit thicker and I think I liked it quite a bit in the end (maybe not more than 2WT/R, but close to.) Hopefully the new material doesn't disappoint me.

That's really unfortunate. Though I'm generally fairly easy to please when it comes to dakimakura covers and I'm probably less critical than most. So maybe it won't even be an issue for me.

They previously used a variant of 4WT that was my preferred choice. But I think ever since Kobato's release it became more durable but sacrifice smoothness instead. I also agree Cospa's stuff are notoriously bad, I guess people do buy them because of how cheap they are.

Yeah, the first case I ordered directly from them were Erio and Kobato, but I had purchased several of their other cases through YJA and Mandarake. I definitely like the material they had previously used more, but the material used for Kobato and later covers grew on me as time went on.

I checked and then Sena they're doing doesn't even come in 2WT, just Smooth Knit and a cheaper material. :( The sample image looks pretty good, but I generally haven't been happy with the end product and no 2WT makes it a no go for me.

Except that their smooth knit isn't the usual smooth knit you come across, it's pretty much their own special type of smooth knit, it's really smooth compared to a standard smooth knit. As a added bonus,it's very durable as well.

True enough; I don't really mind Smooth Knit in general, but I much prefer 2WT.

Here's a link to cospa's Sena: http://www.cospa.com/detail/id/00000043921

My Satellizer is a cospa smooth kit. It feels okay to me, but after getting my Saeko from dakemakura and my Sonico I can tell those two are much softer. The smooth kit is soft, but something about the Saeko and Sonico just feel softer.

Yeah, Smooth Knit generally isn't bad, but 2WT/R are generally smoother/stretchier, even though there are at least 4-5 different companies that produce 2WT/R.

Not material related, but my decision not to buy Cospa/other company covers is just a personal one. My very first cover was a Chara-Ani cover and it was woefully underwhelming; I got a few circle covers within the next few days that just absolutely blew it away. I continued to buy Cospa/Chara-Ani/other company covers but none ever really blew me away in terms of quality, though some of the Hobby Stock/C:Drive covers were quite nice.

2 new Dakis just arrived today!

Bought the Limited editions for both which came with the phonecard, nice illustration book and a Tumbler .







The book has illustrations of the covers drawn by all the artist in Takumi Makura's circle.As well, as the bonus item illustrations as well.





Inserts for the Tumbler.

Nice, that's definitely a cool set of goodies. I actually have this one on preorder: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=CGD2-21224

Had a payment request for it a few days ago, but managed to combine it with the SouSou cover that's supposed to ship later this month. Definitely really cool that you can do that with the system; whereas with Hobby Search once an item goes into the shipping state you can't add anything else, at least through the user console.

I got the URAN one same as Shashin, and also the Alto Senaka one since I'm a big fan of the Brandish eromanga series. Both winging their way to me via registered SAL atm. Did anyone get the final one http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=CGD2-21226 for a completed set by us? :p

That's probably the one I would have bought, but I'm pretty sure it was sold out by the time I preordered the other one... or my love of epic ass overrided wonderful small boobies. I don't remember.

Man, the new OriginZero covers is appealing to my fluid fetish... can't say I've ever been into urination, but it's strangely hot.
