would most of the people who would buy this kind of product even have the opportunity to use it? I assumed most otaku in japan were more of the loner, outcast type.

Isn't this pointless beyond being a collectors item? The otaku certainly can't put them to their real use.

Hmm, maybe they can use it for fmp-esque water storage? Other than that, I can't think of any other uses a social outcast would have for it.
Obligatory grammatical nitpick: "Both versions are being at stores in Tokyo's Akihabara..." Maybe it should be "being sold at stores"? |

Despite the silliness that is this product as a whole, it's also rather humorous that a bunch of people on an anime forum are so sure that their Japanese counterparts never get laid.

GODDAMMIT MY EYES! AAAAHHHH!!! BRAIN SCRUB, BRAIN SCRUB, BRAIN SCRUB
But seriously, wow. I will never get why they release condoms, CONDOMS to promote anime. What's next, Solid Snake brand condoms? |

Some people have no idea you have to use condom when using fleshlight.

Those could sell. They would sell better if they included a battery operated sound chip with someone moaning on it. It would be funny to display the condom sets along with the anime figurine collections, especially if the condom is missing.

I wouldn't have a problem with it, just more fleshlights for me. Wait....that would be incest then wouldn't it? |

The otaku aren't our Japanese counterparts, they take it to another level. There's a reason why otaku is a word that's used with spite, because they did it to themselves. Running around wearing terrible clothes, with backpacks, cameras, etc. and saying how they hate 3d and WHATEVER-TAN MOOOEEEE~~~. I'd say your average American nerd has a far greater chance of either getting laid, going steady, or getting married. We see nerd couples all the time. Otaku and fujoshi don't get along the same way. Oh and I forgot to mention before but why would they make condoms anyway? I thought Japan had the fastest aging population and fastest declining birth rate on the planet. The last thing they'd want to do is promote any kind of anti-pregnancy into the population. And no, condoms aren't good for preventing STDs.

You know, I kinda half expected there would be an Evangelion brand shaped like an entry plug.
And now I must return to hell. |

As was pointed out, there are "masturbatory aids" where the use of a condom is recommended (Real Doll's probably fall into this category, and there are some very disturbing anime real dolls out there). Otaku also have money for hookers... in fact, I wonder if there's a difference between how many times the average Otaku uses the services of a prostitute compared to non-otaku. Would it be higher for Otaku because many Otaku them have a hard time getting girls? Or would it be lower because many of them are too shy to procure the services of a prostitute? Finally we have the Kousaka type otaku that really have no problems getting girls... Although I wonder if pulling out a eroge condom might possibly have undesired effect with the women (making them flee in horror or burst out laughing). -t |

This topic is going to be weird no matter what...might as well revel in the WTF.
To Chris: holy shit, Japanese otaku have the cash to have a "happy ending" (i.e., get a prostitute)? I knew they probably had mad cash, but I had no clue. There's something messed up about that, you know? Whereas most Americans who call themselves "otaku" are probably barely able to afford their weekly diet of pocky. |

Sora no Iro, Mizu no Iro themed condoms.
 It's quite ironic given that no one in the anime adaptation ever bothered to use one.
