    Don't have any myself. I wouldn't mind but it would be to an extent. Of course, this is like almost every other type of clothing though. If it looks good I'll get it but if it's horrible, I won't put it on. One of my friends has a Chiyo t-shirt from Azumanga Daioh and it just looks so funny.

    NERV hoodies look cool.

    In before Overheal's Gundam slippers.

    I had thought of ordering a Gurren Lagann T-shirt once. Until I saw some guy wearing one. Then I decided against it.

    When I was in Leicester I came across a shop that sold detachable Chiyo-chan pigtails. It was all sorts of wtf.

    Indeed, a Gurren Brigade tee-shirt would be cool.

    Would be kinda like an offspring one.

    Wow, nice question.

    I would love to wear something with anime/manga I like. For example: A t-shirt with Archer from FSN, or one with Lilim-chan from "Lilim Kiss" magna or for sure something with Alucard or Seras Victoria from "Hellsing". But I think it's rather hard to get such thingies >_>... SAD T_T

    I don't think anyone should feel embrassed or something while wearing such thing. It's a way L337 to wear smth like that XD

    wouldn't really go further than having an anime wallpaper. My current wallpaper is this:

    I'm probably more of a tech/gamer geek than anime so I usually buy T-Shirts with witty gamer culture slogans and images on them.

    Did you see me at Eirtakon? I was cosplaying as C.C. had a Code Geass bag which broke:( and a Code Geass pocket watch.:p I use to sometimes bring my Code Geass bag to college. I usually wear band t-shirts so thought why not wear anime t-shirts. I plan to order some Evangelion t-shirts and other anime ones. If I ever learn how to sew I would love to add anime features to my clothes.

    Im nerdy enough without merchandise to prove it. You hear about people modding their vans into Star Trek shuttles and you know just how slippery that slope can be.

    I do actually own a Gurren Brigade mug.

    I makes anything drank from it taste about 100% extra awesome, and invigorates you with the burning spirit of a man.

    If you're very lucky you'll magicly gain sunglasses.

    When you stir it to you say Gurren Coffee: SPin On!

    I have some anime/manga merch. I prefer the subtle kind rather than something like those t-shirts that are practically a billboard for an anime/manga. It screams socially inept nerd. Such as: http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/FRZSS4fa-oL=h7eBX9/browse/item/65793/4/0/0

    Where as this is a nicer one: http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/VAVlJynXn4SlOVz7MX/browse/item/71607/4/0/0

    Awh pity it was really good. I say that is embarrassing when that happens, you just don't know what to do but I can get a thrill sometimes when that happens. I also have a Lulouch wallet which looks really funny when I am out drinking.:rolleyes:
