Title: Anime Night light?
Post by: meiosis on Mon, 09 September 2013, 00:46:27
Where would I find a night light? (anime theme preferred)

pls no haters


Also apparently new studies show white and blue light bring bad moods and red light actually improves the mood :o

Official-er studies show that anime night lights get you beat up.

I think that study was proven false.  That requires human interaction, which NEETs do not have.

But I couldn't find anything on the usually sites.  Then again I also didn't look very hard.  Maybe try getting one of those lamp shade things custom printed with an anime design?

This was the closest I could find...I kind of want one now http://www.rocketpunch.com/mag/2012/07/30/totoro-ceramic-lamp-shines-with-glowing-tummy/

edit: actually looks like theres a few different kinds of totoro lamps if you google search :o

I could use a night light. Totoro would fit the bill nicely.

This doesn't quite count, but's it's not far off the mark.

Here is the Etsy listing. (http://www.etsy.com/listing/124690826/kokeshi-japanese-dolls-cute-night-light?ref=sr_gallery_6&ga_search_query=nightlight+japanese&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=handmade) If you email the sellers, actually, they'll probably make you a custom one with anything you want on it if you can send them digital artwork.

totoro is a shinigami / aka god of death.

But on the otherhand there was a time a year ago where I was about to jump the gun on a $230 totoro lamp like 13 inches tall ._.

But after googling there is a totoro death god theory.  But I don't have time to read that right now.  I must go to bed.

Actually Miyazaki confirmed totoro was supposed to be a shinigami :) which is why the elderly could feel his presence

I read through some of the theories and Miyazaki actually confirmed the opposite.  It was also released with Grave of the Fireflies and was intended to be a happy film because of how sad Grave was.  That way once people sat through Grave, they had Totoro to cheer them up.  Obviously some of the things add up with the theories, but I'm still sticking with totoro being a happy film.

Totoro is a happy film and I don't know why anyone would even want to think it's not, they must be crazy. Totoro is best film.

I get that there's a certain artistic charm to studio Ghibli,

But i can't stand all the damn anime-archetype children...

Real kids do not behave like that.....   I hate kids in anime... they're so ffffing weird....
