I've heard the term "bath poster" before. Is it a waterproof poster, like laminated?

Made of polypropylene film ... this endearing image is intended to have its back wet down and then be smoothed onto a completely flat wall by the tub to enjoy for the duration of your bath. Spray it again with water to loosen it from the wall.


Kinda cool. I'm assuming the best results are on tile walls and not drywall or plaster

The bath poster would work good for the Japanese fans, as it wouldn't be subjected to soap and shampoo scum. As for western fans, the poster would need to be in the bathroom proper and not in the shower or bath zone. Otherwise you would be cleaning it everyday to remove soap and shampoo scum, and probably mildew also. Which would also reduce the quality of its look, due to wear and tear.

Okay um...those images are really old artwork from what I can see. That really sucks. Someone can't make something new?

The poster below will have an all-new picture on it, but that's it. And for now, the picture is unknown to us.

Can't expect them to go all out. It's an old franchise, even ancient to some anime fans, might as well non-existent.

I'm surprised something this old still gets merchandising. I agree this is purely for Japanese consumption as they are the only one's I know what would spend that long in a bath to be partaking and absorbing the artistic detail of such a poster. Me it's in, wet, soapy scrub, rinse, out, job done. Laughing

I'm thinking this has to do with the 15 year anniversary for the anime being this year.

When I read bath towel, I was seriously expecting something else.
