Dakimakuras anyone?

Yeah, that's generally why I don't like company covers. I've seen the pictures you guys have posted in the past on them, and they're not as bad as others; at least they're really juicy so that it kinda censors the area. This one has juice around where there should be something and vast areas of flesh. I'll post a shot of it later to explain it in better detail.

I'd probably go 2WR; Noreal uses P80, and it generally does have that grainy look to it. It feels good, but for display I'd definitely recommend the roika. Though Marks uses P80 too, so if you have any of their 2WT covers and like them, you should be fine.

Finished opening up the rest of the stuff, excluding the other Evil Woman Executive cover (not ready for more disappointment, and I opened the one I expected I'd like more.)

Some thoughts before I take any pictures, which may come later:

Just as with my last order, I have to state again the blankets are absolutely awesome. And this one is much more explicit than the Sena blanket. It's pretty much the same exact image as the Marks Tomoyo & Sakura cover (that I also got in the order), with one minor change; there's now double the spread action going on.

Evening Call's Kyouko is great, though I honestly don't know what to say past that. Not my favorite cover of the batch, but a great one nonetheless. Shame Matsumoto didn't work out, though; the material is very comparable to Seiren's roika, and if they didn't have any restrictions... :/

The IG cover is great. The front side image isn't my favorite, but it's better than the sample image led on, and the backside is very nice (they only have an uncolored sample online.) Definitely makes the entire cover and nothing beats anal plug tails.

The Marks Erio cover might be my favorite in the batch. Such great poses on both sides, and she has the cutest boobs ever.

Ok, so No real uses P80 as well? I got both 2WT or 2WR, so I know what to expect. I'll probably get a 2WR and a 2WT then.
You know after after taking out the twin from IG out to use from a long time, It feels rather rough for some reason.

If you got the 2WT version, it's definitely understandable. That's the only thing I don't like about P80 2WT, and why I tend to gravitate towards their roika. It has the grainy look to it and can be rough at times. I noticed the same thing with my Marisa cover from them (one of the only covers I've actually had on a pillow and slept with.)

My twins is the 2WR version felt slightly more like smooth knit. In comparison to other types of roicot.
I guess P80 has 2WT that isn't very good in color compared to A and Js.

Yo Shash, can you take some pics of those lil' bags please?

I'm assuming you meant the Ankokoubou bags. They're pretty cool, though they're censored. Which is kinda funny giving how explicit the covers are. The covers came stored inside the bag, so I assume it's meant to be a personal storage case. Definitely a really cool bonus, censored or not.

Just took some quick shots and rar'd them up for you:

And yeah, Zengar. I'll take some shots of the IS cover side by side later; don't know how well details will show up with my shitty photography, but hopefully it will give you an idea of the differences between the covers.

On that note, I remember when I first entered this thread (back on like page 5) and mentioned NoReal, I'm pretty sure you said something along the lines of "their stuff is nice, but their colors seem to be lighter" or something like that. I wonder if P80 2WT could be the cause of that, assuming you were referring to an actual cover you had on hand and not just in general.


Edit: Took a shot of the blanket, so if you want a look at it just PM me (since it's loli.)

Thanks Shashin! Those are awesome. I didn't realize that they were that big. I thought that they were like pencil bag sized. This is way cooler!
Oh man, I want that Madoka one!

Yeah, they're definitely awesome. I was expecting about the same thing in size and when I opened up the box and saw them, I was like "Oh, the covers must be inside." I'll take some shots of the Madoka cover later.

Nice stash Shashin! The Azu-nyan cover is pretty nice. The backside with the Saeko maid outfit is especially appealing. :)

Yeah, I've been wanting it for awhile. Saw it up on YJA a few weeks ago with a more than reasonable buyout, and I couldn't resist. The only reason I hesitated was because the front side looks a bit weird, and the sample image posted on the website (the cover is from 2009) only has a rough sketch for the backside. It still looked good, but the finished product (as far as the backside is concerned) absolutely blew away my expectations.

Only took those shots for now but if I'm up to it tonight I plan on doing the IS comparison shots and taking shots of the Erio.


Edit:

Erio:



Evil Executive Woman censorship (luckily, the second one which I did eventually open has both the chicks in panties still):



IS comparison shots. Tricot left, roika right:

Nice Infinite Stratos.
Anyone know if this dimension for a pillow would work?
54 x 20 x 6 inches

Would depend on the size of the pillow, but for anything 150x50 or bigger, I'd recommend a larger pillow. 54 inches is only 143 cm, so there'd be a bit of slack at the end on a 150 pillow and more on a larger (160 is really common these days and 170 is starting to appear more and more.) 20 in should be fine for width, but you could probably go 21-2 without much problem if you wanted a really tight fit.

Thanks, but what worried me about it was the unusually deep measurement of 6 inches. I was wondering whether the dakimakura would look all stretched and ugly.

Eh, that one I'm not sure about. It seems like kind of a weird dimension to include, considering it's more or less dependent on the amount of stuffing put in. My Cospa cover is pretty beat down now, but when it was new I would guess it was maybe 3-4 inches in depth. I guess it would depend on the material you're using. I'd imagine it would look fine with a stretchy material and might be a bit strange with a nonstretch material, but I honestly couldn't say for sure.

Thanks for all the info. The reviews said its a very heavy and stuffed pillow (Perfect for me). Since I have a 2-tricot, I think I'll be fine then.

No worries, hope it works out for you.

I've only got one dakimakura that a friend got for me. Where should I go to search for ones I want to order? Found two or three sites via Google, but not many had ones that appeal to me like some I've seen scrolling a couple pages through this thread.

This site is pretty much a dakimakura collector's best friend:

It can be a lot of information to take in at one time, especially if you don't speak Japanese (like most of us here) and have to figure out what things mean. They have about 1000 pages of dakimakura covers that have released, dating as far back as about 2007-8, I think. Obviously most of those aren't available now, but if you want to search a specific circle/character/series, this site can show you what's available.

For more recent releases, you can see when an item is available for preorder, how much it's selling for, where you can buy it, and so on.


If there is a specific cover you're interested in, let me know and I can tell you what I know about it/what you could expect to pick it up for these days.

Okay, yeah can't read Japanese... but I greatly appreciate the link. Looking through it right now. But if I do decide to order one from here, I couldn't just pull out my american credit card or something similar, or could I?

No, you don't order from this site at all, it's just a blog where it provides Dakimakura cover updates, it does link to the site where you can pre-order the covers.
And most of them do not not ship internationally and the only way would be a through deputy service.
