Eeeeewwww! The underwear is very creepy looking. Why would a guy have underpants that have teenage girls on them?

What I'm wondering with the Konata face one is whether they have a "gate", letting you poke "it" through to give Kona-chan a "funny nose".

One of these days, I'll actually read up on this series. I see it everywhere. |
Can't argue there, but they'll probably sell well.
If you do end up watching this series, in my opinion, the only way to watch this series is in English. The Japanese audio sounds too much like chimpmunks on helium.
Valetina: Actually they turn 18 partway through the series, so this is a few times I only find it creepy that the image is on underware, and not the image itself. They turn 18, so really there is nothing wrong with this image, this time.

I am not sure if a man wearing these would get proper fast medical attention if they were rushed to the hospital here wearing these, rather they were clean or not. I actually feel like trying to order these, I have an impulse to buy for some reason I know not why. Always wear jeans or blue jeans cutoffs so it wouldn't encourage me to walk around showing them at home but it could be something funny to have on the shelf with the anime dvds and collectibles.
I would totally have to disagree with the above poster about how to watch the series, Aya Hirano is Konata as are the other original voice actors from Japan are their characters as well. They not only breathed life into the series but made it possible for it to become famous and liked enough to be brought here to be dubbed in English. None the less, do watch it with the English subs on for sure. Don't forget the songs that were sung were also by Aya Hirano and the rest of the cast which ever ones they were for the character songs as well.

Doesn't make it any less creepy when they look like 10 year olds, except poor Miyuki :shudder:. Also some of us like things just for the over the top creepy factor that they have. I personal would buy the pair with Konata on the front (not wear them mind you, I like creepy things, I just don't like wearing creepy things); I would also buy the pair with everyones favorite jaded former child star: Akira Kogami (less creepy but still not going to wear it). Not exactly sure what I would do with them but I would keep them.
I don't went to get into the DUB's vs. SUB's debate but I USUALLY prefer the Subbed versions.
I would love for more things like this to come out from all different kinds of anime (the creepy part, not necessarily the underwear part; although it would be rather neat to have large amounts of random anime based underwear for a unique "WTF?!?!?!?" kind of collection.

This is when anime/manga fandom and merchandise has really gone too far in Japan.

What, no panties for girls?
I might have to get these as sleep pants, anyway. My parents already know I'm crazy from watching me parade around in the T-shirts from the LE boxsets. Ooh! I could wear them together! It'd be the perfect set of pajamas!

OMFG, I can't stop imaging whether or not those boxers have a crotch slit... That's so disturbing... It would be somewhere around the nose of Konata..
... I just checked the website, luckily the face is on the back.. So only your skid-marks will go on Konata's face.. Not your ... Parts.
Im relieved... Somewhat.

In all honesty, I'd be lying if I said this post didn't wring out a chuckle or two.

This as well. Shin Chan comes to mind somehow...
