Dakimakuras anyone?

Ohhh. I love that! Who is that? Just an original character or is she from an eroge?

Hi from Japan guys! Went to ACE2012 today and managed to get what I was after:

Ohhh. The Blondie is a hottie! -drool-

I actually don't have a cover on my pillow right now and haven't for about a year. Just haven't had a cold enough winter to sleep with the body pillow and the pillow is pretty beat down now so I wouldn't want to put a cover on it anyway. When I did use one, I rotated to a new cover every couple of months, when it was clear the covers needed washing. If I were to go back to using a cover on a regular basis, I'd probably rotate them out every few weeks to save them from too much strain.

willowywicca: Nice! Hope you're having a good and safe trip. And you come home with lots of goodies. :D

Grats on nabbing your loot willy. Always good when you have a successful trip.

For me, and my wallet, I'm letting out a big uuuuugh. I have 4 covers coming in so I wasn't planning on spending any more until they all came in, but low and behold COSPA comes out with the following. I love Maken-Ki! so seeing these is really tempting me. I already have one Haruka, but this new Haruka looks good and I mean Aki, well it's Aki how can you resist!?



My brain is going in overdrive. :(

Haha, yeah. Things always come out when you are trying to save money. But the Aki one looks to delicious, I don't blame you for wanting to buy her. Do the right thing and just click "buy" and put your mind at ease lol.

Yah, the Nurse daki is pretty nice, I have it as well.



As much as I like Maken Kii, COSPA's print quality is rather bad.

Lucky you! Really agree with Kirahito. The blondie is hot! The other one is pretty hot as well, it just looks like she is wearing a wedding dress.



I actually started watching Maken-Ki! as well, and Haruka is just yummy! I was planning on to just buying a cushion cover of hers, but after looking up for different dakimakuras, I ended up passing on it. -_-

I more than likely will end up clicking that button. Usually I hold out a few days before finally giving in to temptation. It's just so hard to resist when you know you really only got one shot. If you miss your opportunity you either won't ever get the product or pay an arm and a leg for an aftermarket purchase.



I don't mind COSPA and I generally like that they are almost always SFW. My first cover was Satellizer from COSPA and while the material definitely isn't as good as circles, the quality of the image is great. I have the Sena from COSPA on order as well. :P

Heh, with the way things are these days, there is never a dry period. Just periods where things are crazy and periods where it's "omg, why the fuck are there 50 covers coming out today?" (event season.) I've been trying to get out and save a bit of money for about the last six months (maybe longer), but things just keep coming, and coming, and coming.

I wouldn't say it's Cospa's print quality that's bad, but their art is definitely less detailed overall. The main problem I have with the few Cospa/Chara-Ani covers is just that. The art isn't as detailed and the proportions can be pretty strange sometimes; I hate it when the girl looks smaller than she should, because there's so much empty space surrounding her on all the borders.

So I'm personally not too much a fan of Cospa/company covers, but they definitely do have some promising images from time to time. I also prefer the NSFW variety, so that further limits the likelihood of my purchasing them. ^^

I've own quite a decent amount of Cospa covers. I've got Kanu,Hinagiku,Ichigo,Jubei,Yukimura and Golden Darkness. There's probably some others that I can't recall from my collection.

Their print quality is bad, no matter how much you try to justify it. The print is only good on twill which is why if you notice most of the time the twill sells out the fastest. But I hate the twill because it feels like crap.

You'll be surprised though, COSPA has the BEST smooth Knit Material, that used to be Brain's Police pride and joy, but they no longer produce covers.
Cospa's smooth knits utterly detroys any smooth knit out in the market. Most smooth knits nowadays still feel amazingly abrasive on the skin. COSPA's one however is not only pretty smooth, it's also good if you're sweat prone, it absorbs and dries faster then almost any material except SK suede.Lastly, it's the most durable material currently out in the market after 4 WT.

And I no longer use covers which are SFW. I found that I can't sleep using them, must be some stupid beastial instincts of mine.

Urgh, I need more monies. Evening Call just put up some of their past covers; I've wanted that pen cover they put up (Nagisa) for the longest time.

Well, knowing you, you're gonna get it anyway.~_~

LOL nice!

Great post, man! Learned quite a bit just from reading this.

I know what you mean. I have learned so much just from posting here these past few days. But I agree, for the most part Cospa is too expensive for their quality.

I wanna see pictures of Kanu. And is she 2WT or smooth knit?

I haven't ordered the twill, but the smooth kit (which they still make) is absolutely fine. You want bad, look at bootlegs. That's bad image quality. COSPA doesn't have blurry images at all. Is the background bland compared to circles? Sure it is. Is the image basic compared to circles? More opinionated question, but sure. But the image quality is fine.

The way you so adamantly post against it, makes it seem like they're on par with bootleg, which they are not even close.

I think I of all people would know how bad a bootleg is thank you.Bad print quality doesn't just simply mean a blurry image. And the print quality for COSPA is bad especially when it comes to the outlines of a character because their outlines are thick so it's noticeable especially on my Golden Darkness where patches of inconsistent shades of the outline is on the cover .
No idea why you're getting so defensive. And I have no idea why are you comparing circles to COSPA where the print quality is obviously affected by the manufacturer not the artist. COSPA produces their own covers while Circles get outside help.
For the amount of money you have to pay, it seems unjustifiable for COSPA's quality.
You can love it all you want,but that doesn't really change anything.
But ultimately, the most important thing is that you're happy with it.

Last thing I want to add is that , there do exist bootlegs with good print quality.

Damn, I am so jelly right now.
Guess I will buy them from YJA. I would've gotten Houki though.
